Tomas Haake (Meshuggah) shares more details about the band’s upcoming album

Meshuggah drummer Tomas Haake has confirmed that the Swedish progressive metal pioneers are not currently working on a follow-up to their 2022 album “Immutable”. Instead, the band are concentrating on their upcoming 40th-anniversary touring plans.

Speaking on The Downbeat Podcast with Stray From The Path drummer Craig Reynolds, Haake said there is no new album underway at present. He explained that the musicians intend to complete their anniversary tour, potentially extending their live activity over two years, before considering their next studio project.

A future Meshuggah album remains possible

No. What are you, nuts? Well, we’ll probably… There’s nothing in the works. We’re just gonna do this, we’re gonna do this [40th-anniversary] tour [in 2027], or two years of tours, and then we’ll see. No promises, but I think… What are we gonna do? We’re gonna make another album.

40th-anniversary tour takes priority

Meshuggah are preparing a North American headlining tour in early 2027 with Testament and Blood Incantation as support. The itinerary includes a first-ever performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, as well as shows in Oakland and Brooklyn.

The tour celebrates four decades of the band’s innovative approach to heavy music. For fans awaiting new material, Haake’s comments suggest that the next studio album is a longer-term prospect rather than an imminent release.
