Meshuggah Drops "Ligature Marks" Music Video Alongside "Immutable - The Indelible Edition" Announcement

Yep, MESHUGGAH is back to make your speakers beg for mercy—again. Not just playing their usual brand of mind-melting, time-signature-abusing, existential-crisis-inducing metal—oh no, they’ve decided to remaster their already ridiculous 2022 album Immutable and slap on a shiny new title: “Immutable - The Indelible Edition” (because clearly, “Immutable” wasn’t immutable enough).

Now let’s get something straight. This isn’t just some lazy cash grab where they turn a few knobs, crank up the treble, and call it a day. No. This is Meshuggah we’re talking about. These guys are obsessive. Every single note, every chug, every soul-destroying polyrhythm has been reworked to sound even heavier than before—because, why not?

And if that wasn’t enough, they’re throwing in three live tracks from their 2023-2024 tours, just to remind us that yes, their music sounds just as insane (if not worse?) when played in front of actual humans.

“Ligature Marks” Gets a New Video

To commemorate the whole “we’re re-releasing our album, suck it” vibe, MESHUGGAH has dropped a new music video for “Ligature Marks,” directed by Anthony Dubois—who, let’s be honest, must have had the most stressful job trying to visually match the sonic obliteration that is this song.

The video? Pure, unfiltered chaos. Shot across multiple venues, it’s basically a frantic, in-your-face montage of MESHUGGAH doing what they do best: looking like mathematical warlocks casting spells in the form of incomprehensible riffage. Jens Kidman, as always, is furious. The lights are seizure-inducing. The crowd? Possibly possessed.

And fans? Losing their minds, obviously. Comments under the video range from, “Holy sht this is ridiculous”* to “Why does this sound even heavier? What did they DO?” Some people are convinced that Kidman’s vocals have been tweaked in the remaster, revealing new layers of throat-shredding brutality that were previously buried under the mix. Others are still just trying to count the beats in the first 30 seconds of the song. (Give up, guys. Just feel it.)

So… What’s Actually New in This “Indelible” Version?

Well for one thing, the remastered sound has been hyped up as giving Immutable more depth and clarity—which, honestly, is kind of terrifying, considering it already sounded like a cyborg elephant stomping through a burning factory.

Oh and those three live tracks?

• “Kaleidoscope” (Live)
• “Ligature Marks” (Live)
• “God He Sees In Mirrors” (Live)

Nothing says “we love you” like giving fans a taste of MESHUGGAH in their natural habitat—on stage, obliterating eardrums with all the precision of a surgical airstrike.

And if you’re into collectors’ editions—which, let’s be real, half of metalheads are—this one is fancy as hell. We’re talking a two-LP gatefold vinyl and a single-disc Digipak, both featuring gold foil accents because, apparently, even MESHUGGAH can appreciate a little aesthetic luxury.

The Tour? Oh, It’s a Bloodbath

Now MESHUGGAH could’ve just stopped there and let us process all of this. But no. They’re going on a full-blown North American tour starting March 28, 2025—and they’re bringing along Cannibal Corpse and Carcass for the ride.

That’s right.

• The mathematical alien overlords of metal (MESHUGGAH).
• The grind-your-face-into-the-asphalt brutality of (Cannibal Corpse).
• And the godfathers of melodic, surgical death metal (Carcass).

This lineup isn’t just “good.” It’s unhinged.

Stops include:

• Quebec City (Prepare for snow and destruction.)
• Toronto (Hope the CN Tower has some extra reinforcements.)
• Chicago (The Windy City might just lose its remaining hearing.)
• Los Angeles (Hollywood is not ready for this kind of chaos.)
• New York City (Some subway rats might achieve enlightenment after this show.)

If you’ve ever wanted to experience what it feels like to be hit by a freight train made entirely of distortion and blast beats, this is your moment.

But What Does This All Mean?

Simple. MESHUGGAH has out-Meshuggah’d themselves.

Again.

They took an album that already melted brains back in 2022 and decided, “You know what? Let’s make it even MORE devastating.” Then they threw in some live tracks, a new video, a tour, and some gold-foiled vinyl just to flex on the rest of the metal scene.

And what does guitarist Mårten Hagström have to say about all this?

“The title fits perfectly for where we are as a band. We’re older now. Most of us are in our fifties now, and we’ve settled into who we are. Even though we’ve been experimenting all along, I also think we’ve been the same since day one. The way we approach things and why we still make new albums, and why we still sound the way we do, it’s immutable. Humanity is immutable, too. We commit the same mistakes over and over. And we are immutable. We do what we do, and we don’t change.”

Translation: We are MESHUGGAH. We will break your brain. We will not stop. Ever.

And honestly? Thank the metal gods for that.

So if you’re even remotely into metal, math-core, or just music that makes you question your entire existence—go pre-order “Immutable - The Indelible Edition.” Go watch “Ligature Marks” and let your face be melted. And if you’re lucky enough to catch them on tour, well…

Hope you have good insurance.
