Continuing with the momentum of celebrating their 25-year anniversary, Swedens extreme metal deviants Meshuggah re-issue their 2004 one song EP, I. Album artwork and concept are courtesy of drummer Tomas Haake, who comments on the EP’s mutant resurrection: This 21 minute madness that is the song I is something we’ve always been extremely proud of!! Originally recorded for Jason Popson/Fractured transmitter record label, this was a one off that Nuclear Blast gave us the go ahead for – as we were under contract with them. Our plan was to just quickly write a little nugget of a song to help our friend Jason to kinda kickstart his label. It wasn’t quick however. We ended up spending a couple months on this thing as it just kept evolving and kind of took on a life of its own. This song is really different as it wasn’t written in the normal sense, but recorded without anything more than very open guidelines/ideas as to what kind of style we wanted each part to have. For examples, the initial 1½ minute drum fill is an excerpt of around a 15 minute recording of me just randomly going off on a kick/tom fill. Once we had chosen which part of it to use, we had to chart out the hits on paper and guitarist Fredrik and Marten then basically used sight-reading/avista to get the hits right while recording. And this is how we continued through the whole song/process. We often get the question When will you guys play I ? – And though I’m sure it could be done with a lot of listening and hard work – It’s really too unstructured a track. It would take up too much time and effort to make sense. We’re super stoked now, to have this be re-released as we never thought this little demon of a song would get that much distribution, so were thrilled to see it be brought back to life!. To further add value to this re-release, we added a couple live tracks and another weird little track Pitch Black that some of our fans may have heard but probably not all, as it was only released in a limited number. Enjoy!
