Swedish tech metal band Meshuggah have announced that they will be releasing their new album The Violent Sleep of Reason on October 7th. This will be the follow up to 2012’s Koloss (review), which follows the band’s pattern of releasing a new album once every three to four years.
Supposedly, the new album was inspired by Francisco Goya’s painting “The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters“. The cover art was created by Keerych Luminokaya, who did the art for Koloss, The Ophidian Trek, and the albums featured in the 25 Years of Musical Deviance box set.
Pre-orders for The Violent Sleep of Reason are now open over at Nuclear Blast.
