Commemorating the 25-year anniversary since the recording of their first EP, Sweden’s extreme musical deviants MESHUGGAH have announced the artwork and the track listing to their upcoming live DVD / 2-CD release ‘The Ophidian Trek’, due out worldwide this fall and also available in Blu-ray. With visual footage shot in the U.S. & Europe during ‘’The Ophidian Trek’’ tour and festival footage from Wacken Open Air 2013 in Germany, the live audio was processed & edited by MESHUGGAH guitarist Fredrik Thordendal, mixed by Daniel Begstrand(MESHUGGAH, DIMMU BORGIR, BEHEMOTH), and mastered by Mats “Limpan” Lindfors (ROXETTE, OPETH, MANDO DIAO).
Drummer Tomas Haake shares the following about the upcoming DVD: “We’re really stoked about this new Meshuggah live dvd! It’s been 4 years since the release of ‘Alive’ and with the band celebrating 25 years, we felt that we just had to get another one of these puppies out there! Audio/Video was recorded during our European stretch of »The Ophidian Trek« tour, as well as at the Wacken open air festival – and we’re super proud of how it came out! For this one we used the extremely talented photographer Anthony Dubois for filming and editing etc and he’s really done a stunning job with it! Hope you guys dig it and here’s to another 25!! (or maybe just a little less;-) )”
