Meshuggahin Tomas Haake: ”Tuleva albumimme ”The Violent Sleep Of Reason” nauhoitettiin livenä studiossa”

Ruotsalaisen äärimetallia soittavan Meshuggahin rumpali Tomas Haake on antanut hiljattain haastattelun Metal Hammerille liittyen yhtyeen tulevaan ”The Violent Sleep Of Reason” -nimiseen albumiin. Haake on haastattelussa paljastanut, että yhtye nauhoitti tulevan albuminsa soittamalla sen livenä studiossa, joka on nykypäivänä melkoisen harvinaista. Voit lukea Haaken mietteitä aiheesta tästä:

”This album is recorded live. It’s the first time we’ve done that in 20, 25 years. It was time limitations that stopped us doing it before. And it’s been interesting.

”If you put it all together using computers, then you often have to fix problems after the fact. I’ve gone back to records where I’ve not known every drum part. And once you do that, you can start with drums and then just add layers of guitars and then bass and it all sounds perfect.

”’Obzen’ and ’Koloss’ are great albums, but, to me, they are a little too perfect. It didn’t really capture what we sounded like honestly. But where we recorded live, you get to hear the push and pull, one person might be a little ahead and the other might be a little behind. If you kill that, you can kill the energy.”

”So for us it was just about going back to those albums that inspired us when we were growing up, that were important to us in our formative years, and all of those bands had that energy. The albums in the ’80s and early ’90s had the rawness that I’m talking about — that’s what we wanted to recapture.”
