Fredrik Thordendal and Meshuggah will issue their new album, obZen, via Nuclear Blast Records on March 7th, 2008.

obZen tracklisting: 'Combustion', 'Electric Red', 'Bleed', 'Lethargica', 'ObZen', 'This Spiteful Snake', 'Pineal Gland Optics', 'Pravus', 'Dancers To A Discordant System'. obZen will be a collective return to the band's past works, signaling a shift in direction away from their previous math metal-laden effort, Catch Thirtythree. The album was originally planned for release in November 2007, prior to a European tour featuring Meshuggah themselves and mathcore band The Dillinger Escape Plan. The recording process for obZen took longer than expected and led the band to drop out of the tour.

Background:
Fredrik Thordendal was born on February 11th, 1970. He's best known for his eclectic lead guitar work with Swedish metal band Meshuggah.

Fredrik Thordendal also created a solo band called Special Defects to record and release Thordendal's first solo album in 1997 entitled "Sol Niger Within".



The album was remixed and re-released by Ultimate Audio Entertainment and Relapse Records in 1999 under the title "Sol Niger Within version 3.33". The re-release contains two bonus tracks but omits several parts of the original version.

Fans of fusion guitar will also know that Fredrik Thordendal style is synonymous with that of Allan Holdsworth.

Fredrik is also a producer, producing all the Meshuggah CD's and completing production for a number of other artists.

Fredick is also highlighted on wiki pedia
