After releasing the first track of their new album, Immutable, “The Abysmal Eye” Meshuggah has released another new single, “Light the Shortening Fuse.”
Over the first half of this new track, things feel rather typical for Meshuggah with stomp ‘n’ groove elements that have dominated their work for over three decades well in play. It’s the back portion of “Light the Shortening Fuse,” however, that may catch listeners by surprise with melodic droning atmospheric touches that invoke a cinematic soundtrack vibe.
Drummer Tomas Haake said:
“Sound-wise, we were going for a warmer sound this time around, less harsh mids and highs in the guitars and less abrasive cymbals. Getting older, you feel like, ‘I want to be able to enjoy this,’ and not just be mauled and run over,”
