http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc303/shawnsumerian/Mesh_Tour09_admat-1.jpgSwedish experimental extreme metallers MESHUGGAH will team up with the reunited progressive rock/metal band CYNIC for a North American tour in early 2009. So far the following dates have been revealed:

Feb. 01 - House of Blues - Anaheim, CA
Feb. 02 - House of Blues - San Diego, CA
Feb. 08 - Commodore Ballroom - Vancouver, BC
Feb. 15 - House of Blues - Chicago, IL
Feb. 17 - The Phoenix - Toronto, ONT
Feb. 20 - Recher Theatre - Towson, MD

More than half a year after its debut at No. 59 on The Billboard 200 chart, MESHUGGAH recently cracked the 50,000 sales mark in the United States with its latest album, "obZen".

"obZen" sold 11,400 copies in the United States in its first week of release. This is substantially more than the 7,000 first-week total achieved by its predecessor, "Catch 33", which landed at No. 170 on The Billboard 200 chart back in June 2005.

An e-card for "obZen" can be accessed at this location.

MESHUGGAH took part in the U.S. leg of MINISTRY's final world tour — C U LaTouR — which kicked off March 25 in Spokane, Washington and concluded on May 11 in Chicago, Illinois. The trek also featured opening act HEMLOCK.

"Traced in Air", the new album from CYNIC, was released in North America on November 25 via Season of Mist. The CD's first run is a limited-edition hard cover digipack with the cover artwork embossed to further showcase the beautiful cover by renowned artist Robert Venosa, as well as eight original pieces of art paired with the eight songs found on the album. Venosa created the unmistakable cover and visuals for 1993's groundbreaking "Focus" album. This limited edition also features a poster of the cover art. Also released the same day is the "Traced in Air" collector's box, which will only be available for order online and limited to 1,000 copies.

"Integral Birth", a new track from CYNIC, can be downloaded at this location.

Returning from the "Focus" era for the new eight-song, 35-minute effort are are founding members Masvidal and Reinert along with Sean Malone (bass), and joining the band in the studio is newcomer Tymon Kruidenier (guitars/growls). The band recorded the effort at a California studio with producer Warren Riker (DOWN, SANTANA).

Also, I've heard sources say The Faceless is on the tour as well

EDIT: http://www.smnnews.com/2008/12/08/2009-meshuggah-us-tour/

Zimmer's Hole and The Faceless are the opening bands for selected dates

I'm going FEB. 1st BIATCH

[McP3000]

hey if i got tickets id be going to the Feb 1st show as well.
I definitely want tickets

hearing How Could I live would make the whole concert worth it.

[adb]

I'm def going, I'll have to get a sub for work since its on a Sunday but I'm going no matter what

omg

[hismajestythepope]

sounds like a terrible tour

[McP3000]

lol mappy

(id agree on faceless but me and my bros can just skip them)

[adb]

The Faceless rules live and it's still not set in stone that they're on the tour
idc if they are or not they're always around LA

[hismajestythepope]

the faceless rule live because theyre incredibly boring and have no energy

[McP3000]

cool, now would you stop ripping on the crappy band that probably wont play with them and talk about the other two awesome bands.

[hismajestythepope]

meshuggah's boring, cynic's boring, the faceless is boring, tour is boring.

[adb]

not enough pitriffment

[Permanent Solution]

I would consider road tripping to CA for that show.

[hismajestythepope]

you would
not enough pitriffment
basically.

[McP3000]

i like seeing bands i like live because i like their music. I dont like going to concerts of bands that JUNJUNJUN for an hour and a half to be entertained. I like to think theres more value to the music than a stupid **** spinning around in circles growling.

[adb]

like me too like like

I've seen my share of -core shows though tbh

[Permanent Solution]

I like live music in general.

The fact that I could probably hit this up for free though makes it appealing ofc.

[Angmar]

Cynic is the only band worth seeing.

[HighandDriving]

**** ya there's a Toronto date, I'm there.

I just saw The Faceless and they weren't all that great live so I'd much rather a different opener.

[interviewer02]

Wow, this is a great tour...Goin to the Chicago one.

[AA-12]

meshuggah would be amazing live with the right production. i don't care much about seeing cynic live. zimmers hole and faceless are terrible.

[pate]

Look who posted warning of this before it was announced.

Apparently Cynic will be opening for Meshuggah in the US in February. Other opener is Zimmers Hole.

House of Blues Chicago - Feb 15

Look for it to be announced soon.

[violet empathy1]

omg thanx for this info ,i am sooo going to see them on feb 17 at the phoenix!
anyone else goin at that one? it would be cool to meet there.

[hXcPLISIT]

Look who posted warning of this before it was announced.

this makes you cooler

[HighandDriving]

omg thanx for this info ,i am sooo going to see them on feb 17 at the phoenix!

Look for me I will be easy to spot, I'll have a beer in my hand and be the best looking guy there.

[violet empathy1]

AHAHA YEAH !!now that will help me find u!lol :D

[HighandDriving]

Trust me, you'll be able to tell, I'll be with my younger brother and just say Sputnik.

And no they aren't on sale yet.

[The Feeding]

Zimmer's Hole is hilarious in my opinion. Devin Townsend is a mad genius!!
I would like to see The Faceless live....

[hismajestythepope]

meshuggah would be amazing live with the right production. i don't care much about seeing cynic live. zimmers hole and faceless are terrible.

meshuggah is really good live, no lie

****ing intense as ****

[pate]

ZH is awesome.

[Dimmu Burger]

Downloading some Zimmer's Hole now. Hopefully I can make it to the show at Recher in Towson, MD. I was just up there for my old band's cd release oddly enough.

[pate]

You better be getting WYWSATD...WWIL

[Dimmu Burger]

That's correct sir!

[sleepless]

I REALLY don't want to trek to Chicago in the middle of February.

Oh, well, never been there, might as well...

[Dimmu Burger]

I just hope I'm off that night so I don't have to waste a day of leave. I also hope The Faceless play that date cause I'd love to see them.

[playguitar]

Yes Yes Yes Oh God Yes

[Dimmu Burger]

Ok The Faceless just posted a myspace bulletin and they are opening every show on the tour FYI!

[adb]

Sweeet

[Niflheim II]

crap

[HighandDriving]

Ok The Faceless just posted a myspace bulletin and they are opening every show on the tour FYI!

That says something about The Faceless, what lucky guys and this will help them reach a new market of fans.

[adb]

I can guarantee The Faceless begged to be on this tour, they idolize Meshuggah and Cynic. They probably sucked them off.

But yeah the thing about them is they can tour with an array of metal bands. They're touring with ****ing JFAC and Lamb of God before this tour.

[Moon Flavor]

I'm totally pushing for a JFAC and Meshuggah tour omgomgomgomg

[Dimmu Burger]

That says something about The Faceless, what lucky guys and this will help them reach a new market of fans.

This is true. They'll probably be the next JFAC now.



*giggles*

[HighandDriving]

Ya well it looks like I'll be seeing The Faceless again, hopefully the play some different songs of PD, they only played Xenochrist, Cold Calculated and The Ancient Covenant.

[Meatplow]

psh no shoes no sale

[Dimmu Burger]

Yeah I'm definitely gonna try to make this show. I've wanted to see Meshuggah live for a long time and I do like The Faceless. I'm new to Cynic, but I'm sure by Feb. I'll have made up my mind about them.

[HighandDriving]

It's gonna be crazy going from Cynic to Meshuggah, I hope they open with Combustion.

[Dimmu Burger]

They should just play Catch 33 and then leave.





ok maybe not.

[HighandDriving]

A nice mix between Catch 33 and Obzen with a few old school tracks would be nice.

Actually that's prob what they're gonna do.

[Dimmu Burger]

If they play any Catch 33 it's not gonna be much I'm sure. Their drummer has said he prefers to play other stuff.

[The Feeding]

funny thing i went to a show and JFAC headlined....i left before they played because last time they sucked HARD

[beans]

this looks cool

[Dimmu Burger]

funny thing i went to a show and JFAC headlined....i left before they played because last time they sucked HARD

Same here.


Oh and by the way, I'm off work for this tour. F*ck yeah.

[violet empathy1]

i m listening to some of cynic stuff
its grooss i dont like it
the voice they use is so annoyng
did they do some good stuff or does all of their stuff just sound the same?

[Permanent Solution]

Further proof that girls cannot like good music.

[adb]

[violet empathy1]

Further proof that girls cannot like good music.

[Angmar]

[Permanent Solution]

this is why girls aren't allowed to have opinions, tbh

[Shattered_Future]

I would love to see my dad come to this tour. He expressed interest.

[violet empathy1]

this is why girls aren't allowed to have opinions, tbh

thats all
i thought they would be better but
i dont like the tiny voices of that guy
and its just not my cup of tea!


im just gonna go to the concert 4 meshuggah
cause im liestening to the faceless(who are kinda better than cynic but still not good enough)
i get it why they r touring with meshuggah
but they r not as aggressive
and i like to get pumped up when i got to concerts

[Permanent Solution]

If you told the guys in Meshuggah that Cynic sucked I imagine they would laugh you out of sight.
