Remastered Edition: ObZen 15th Anniversary

Meshuggah, the Swedish band formed in 1987 in Umeå, have been hailed as "one of the ten most important hard and heavy bands" by Rolling Stone, earning the respect and admiration of fans and musicians alike. It is impossible to discuss experimental or avant-garde metal without mentioning this groundbreaking act, as they seamlessly blend ultra-complicated rhythmic patterns with massive riffs and aggressive growls, combining Death Metal, Mathcore, Thrash, and Progressive Metal to create their unique style.

The year 2023 marks the 15th anniversary of the band's milestone album, "ObZen," a masterpiece of diversity and surprises. The album contains the band's absolute massive hit, "Bleed," a song that tore through the industry like a shockwave, leaving fans and musician peers alike completely speechless. "ObZen" can be seen as a sort of "best of" album, combining the band's early works with fresh, new songs. Compared to some of the gloomy and subconscious terror of their previous releases, "ObZen" is a big, powerful kick in the face. While some parts still feature the band's signature slo-mo groove infernos, others, like the opener "Combustion," are high-speed massacres the band had never done before, showcasing their pure technical ass-kicking mayhem.

Since their debut in 1991, Meshuggah have consistently released classic albums, but "ObZen" is widely regarded as their most mature accomplishment to date. Now, fans can indulge in the newly remastered, 15th anniversary edition of "ObZen" on all streaming platforms, as well as a beautifully enhanced digipak and stunning new vinyl colors, limited worldwide to under 1500 of each color, to complete every collector's dream.
