Clap Your Eyeballs on Meshuggah's Slick, Mechanical New Video for "Clockworks"

​There is death metal. There is extreme metal. There is technical death metal….and then, there is Meshuggah. "Innovative" doesn't begin to describe these Swedes' approach to what can conceivably still be called "heavy metal;" they straight-up invented something entirely new back in the 90s, have not wavered an iota from their chosen path, and have survived long enough—and been successful enough—to have earned the right  to sit back and watch an entire generation of younger bands weakly try to rip them off.

But Meshuggah haven't stopped; they've barely slowed down. A massive North American tour with High on Fire is on the books for later this year, and the band's just released a world-conquering new album, The Violent Sleep of Reason. They're an unstoppable machine onstage and off. Even releasing a new album isn't enough for them— they had to drop a new video the same day!

The Violent Sleep of Reason is available now​ from Nuclear Blast. Check out the new video for "Clockworks" below (produced by Julius Horsthuis)​, and prepare for sonic annihilation.
