Meshuggah on US tour with Cynic in early 2009
Don't know how many of you are fans, but the mighty Meshuggah is returning to the US for a short headlining tour. Main support: Cynic, who recently released only their second album after better than a decade.
Thankfully, they're coming to Minneapolis. Unfortunately, they're playing at the hated Station 4. Still, to see both Meshuggah and Cynic at one show? You know I'll be there.
I didn't see confirmation on meshuggah.net, but they don't update their site very often. Ticket_____ has several of the shows listed.

This sounds like an excellent show. I'm not real familiar with Meshuggah's material, though I did see them open for Slayer and they were quite good live. I LOVE cynic and regret not seeing them on tour for their first album. I am really digging the new CD. It takes a few listens, but it is so complex and mutli-layered that you pick up something new each listen. I am so impressed that after all this time they came back and made an album strictly on their terms for honest, artistic reasons. The music alone tells you that they aren't trying to cash in on any trends, but keep their highly original and creative vision alive and well, over 15 years later. You don't often see that kind of integrity when a band decides to reform, but staying true to their original vision has paid off in spades IMO.
I hope they come to C-Bus!

Reinhert is so aggressive and yet he maintains such an incredible groove.

there's also an early rumor that Meshuggah and the Faceless will be on the Extreme Metal stage at next years Mayhem fest (with Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth and Amon Amarth also rumored), with Slayer, Manson, Lamb of God and Trivium also rumored for the main stage
