According to Blabbermouth, Meshuggah have finished recording their new CD, and it will be called obZen. According to 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!” I guess it would be a bit strange if he wasn’t super excited. Hopefully Meshuggah will join Tool on the road again one day, preferably Down Under.

The Tool Hotline tells us that a Puscifer Vagina Medley is available on the net via Megaupload. Get it while it’s hot! They also report that Queen B is being played on the radio, and a version should find its way onto the internet soon enough.
