Mårten Hagström Says New Meshuggah Album Will Be Out “Sometime Next Year”

In a new interview with Rocksverige.se, Mårten Hagström was asked about the timeline for Meshuggah’s new album. The guitarist said that the band has been busy touring, so the effort won’t arrive until “sometime next year.”

Here’s what he had to say about the band’s new album timeline:

“In twenty years. No… I would say sometime next year, but not early. We were supposed to be writing all summer, but stuff happened, and now we’re doing this [playing festivals.] So, when we finish that off, we’re gonna be writing… The last show for this summer is late August in Gothenburg, so when we finish off there, we’re gonna go full writing mode again. And then hopefully we’ll write through the end of the year and then start recording early-ish next year.”
