Magazine, Assistant Editor Andrew Lentz was one of the first journalists to interview MESHUGGAH drummer Tomas Haake about the band’s new album KOLOSS. Read the online version of that insightful article here: http://www.drummagazine.com/features/post/tomas-haake-djentle-giant
DRUMmagazine.com has also transcribed excerpts from multiple MESHUGGAH songs and analyzed Haake’s crazy complex drum parts. This is a lesson that’ll make your legs cry out for mercy! http://www.drummagazine.com/lessons/post/tomas-haake-crazy-complex-meshuggah/
Released in late March, KOLOSS has sold over 39,800 copies in the U.S. according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album debuted at #17 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart in April, #24 on the Canadian Top 200 chart, and #31 in the World Sales chart, and #48 on the German Media Control chart.
