Swedish experimental extreme metallers MESHUGGAH have set "obZen" as the title of their new album, tentatively due in early 2008 via Nuclear Blast Records. The follow-up to 2005's "Catch Thirty Three" will contain nine songs and will have a running time of around 55 minutes.

Commented drummer Tomas Haake: "We've finished the recording a couple weeks back! It sounds really good and we're super-excited about the new stuff!"

Haake told Revolver magazine at the end of last year that MESHUGGAH would be returning on its next album to the pummeling double bass drums and angular riffage that defined their early material to sculpt what they say will be their most savage, eclectic offering yet. "We've got some fast, intense songs and hectic, heavy stuff that draws from all the things we've done in the past," Haake said at the time. "It's so great to actually be playing drums again."
