Where: Forum Karlín, Prague 8 – Karlín
MESHUGGAH: The Forty-Year Anomaly is a one-off anniversary show by the Swedish band who created their own style of extreme metal. Built on eight-string guitars and complex polyrhythms, their sound has shaped heavy music for four decades. Forum Karlín hosts the Prague date, with Periphery and Vildhjarta on the bill.
Meshuggah look back over their career, from early records such as Contradictions Collapse through the turning point of Chaosphere to the landmark albums Nothing and ObZen, and they also play material from their latest album, Immutable. The band bring their well-known light show, so expect a heavy visual impact as well as a heavy sound. Periphery, led by guitarist Misha Mansoor and vocalist Spencer Sotelo, are a leading name in modern progressive metal and the djent movement, mixing technical riffs, grooves and catchy melodies. Vildhjarta, also from Sweden, are known for the subgenre called thall, with dark atmosphere, broken rhythms and sudden jumps from silence to sonic collapse.
The evening suits listeners who enjoy heavy, technically demanding music. For full details and tickets, visit the organiser’s page.
