Commemorating the 25th anniversary of the recording of their first EP, Swedish experimental extreme metallers MESHUGGAH will release a concert DVD / 2CD set and Blu-ray, »The Ophidian Trek«, on Sept. 26th (EU), 29th (UK) and 30th (NA) via Nuclear Blast Records. With visual footage shot in Europe during »The Ophidian Trek« tour and festival footage from Wacken Open Air 2013 in Germany, the live audio was processed and edited by MESHUGGAH guitarist Fredrik Thordendal, mixed by Daniel Begstrand (DIMMU BORGIR, BEHEMOTH) and mastered by Mats "Limpan" Lindfors (ROXETTE, OPETH, MANDO DIAO).
Nuclear Blast HQ gave MESHUGGAH a ring to discuss the upcoming Blu-Ray/DVD release, »The Ophidian Trek«. Here's how it went down...watch the new trailer here:
Comments MESHUGGAH drummer Tomas Haake: "We're really stoked about this new MESHUGGAH live DVD! It's been four 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;-) )”
