Meshuggah detail 25th anniversary live pack

Meshuggah have confirmed the launch of a live DVD to mark the 25th anniversary of their first EP.

The Ophidian Trek, to be released in the autumn, features footage shot during their European tour and at the Wacken festival this year. It’s their second live DVD following 2010’s Alive.

Drummer Tomas Haake says: “It’s been four years since the release of Alive, and with the band celebrating 25 years, we just had to get another one of these puppies out there.

“We’re super-proud of how it came out. Talented photographer Anthony Dubois has really done a stunning job with it. Hope you guys dig it – and here’s to another 25, or maybe just a little less!”

The Ophidian Trek will be launched via Nuclear Blast on DVD, Blu-ray and 2CD set.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
