This shouldn’t even must be uttered in any respect in 2023, however Meshuggah fucking guidelines. You don’t get to jot down absolute bangers like obZen, Nothing, and Chaosphere and never be thought of a titanic act on the scene. As such, it ought to come as no shock that so many musicians on the market love and admire the djenty band of Swedes.

But throughout a current interview on Full Steel Jackie’s radio present, Meshuggah drummer Tomas Haake admitted that figuring out different musicians like Wolfgang Van Halen and Nickelback’s Mike Kroeger contemplate themselves Meshuggah followers is each a degree of pleasure and humility.

“That’s one thing we’re deeply grateful for, and it’s humbling. The final time we performed in L.A., [Metallica’s] Robert Trujillo was there. He’s all the time beloved us as a band as properly and he’s all the time given us accolades. So I frolicked with him slightly bit after the present. That’s all the time actually cool. I do know Mike Kroeger and the drummer of Nickelback [Daniel Adair] are our followers. The final time I noticed Nickelback right here in Stockholm, the drummer was carrying a ‘Destroy Erase Enhance’ t-shirt for the present. So we’re grateful for something like that, and we do admire it, and it’s one thing that you just by no means get like jaded about. It’s all the time like — you actually really feel it. That’s superior.”

“And Wolfgang for positive. I’ve in all probability solely seen a couple of issues the place he has talked about us, however, however I do acknowledge that they performed Meshuggah on his wedding ceremony. In order that’s type of… [Laughs] I don’t know. Possibly that’s slightly a lot, however you’ve gotta adore it, proper?”

Once more, this shouldn’t actually be a shock to Haake, given simply how fucking superior Meshuggah is. Hell, we’ve identified for years how a lot comic Invoice Burr loves the band a lot he known as seeing them stay a “fucking life-altering expertise.”

Subsequent yr, many extra individuals will get an opportunity at witnessing such a “life-altering expertise” when the band excursions Europe in March. You’ll find the complete listing of dates beneath.
