To celebrate the upcoming release of Meshuggah's new album, Koloss, which is due out March 26 via Nuclear Blast Records, some of my Boston-based friends made a video that's been making the rounds. It's called "Pour Some Meshuggah On Me."
The video is a musical mash-up combining Meshuggah-style riffing with Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me."
Check out the video and tell me what you think!
Most of the people in the video are from a Boston-based progressive metal band called The Dead Station. I've heard one song by them, and it was very cool. They're working on a full-length CD at the moment, but I'm not sure when it will be out.
Check out the band at their Facebook page. They have a song you can download called "Limitless Or So It Seems."
OK, here's "Pour Some Meshuggah On Me":
