With a career spanning over three decades, Meshuggah has released several critically acclaimed albums and gained a dedicated fanbase worldwide. Their music continues to captivate audiences with its intensity and thought-provoking lyrics.

Nuclear Blast is a German independent label that specializes in metal and related music styles. Founded in 1987 by Markus Staiger, the label has become a prominent force in the metal industry. With their headquarters located in Donzdorf, Germany, Nuclear Blast Europe serves as a label, mailorder service, wholesale distributor, fulfillment service, and distribution center for several labels across Europe. In addition to their European presence, Nuclear Blast America operates as a US company with similar business tasks in collaboration with Century Media. They also have a South American branch working alongside Century Media.

A typical Nuclear Blast catalogue number follows the format "NB XXXX-F", where F represents the format of the release. This can vary but generally includes limited first editions (such as Digipak or O-Card) for both CD and DVD (-0), LPs or other vinyl formats (-1), jewelcase CDs or promo CDs/DVDs (-2), video tapes or tapes (-3/-4), box sets or limited mailorder editions with bonus CDs/DVDs (-5), some vinyl 7”s (-7), shape CDs (-8), and picture vinyls (-9). Earlier releases may only have three digits.

With an extensive catalog of metal music and an authoritative presence in the industry, Nuclear Blast continues to be a leading label for fans of heavy music

Formed in the college town of Umeå in northern Sweden in 1987, Meshuggah have spent the last thirty three years and cumulative fourteen releases developing, exploring, and redefining their complex, inimitable approach on the art of expressing the music they hear in their heads. A group that has not sounded like anyone else in over two decades, Meshuggah are one of the few purely and honestly lateral-thinking forces, genuinely dedicated to pushing the boundaries of extreme music, simply because doing so comes naturally to them.

The thirteen tracks on The Ophidian Trek represent a great retrospective of Meshuggah's fulminant carrier. Kicking off the show with ‘Swarm’, just one of many from their most recent album Koloss (2012), going back to ObZen (2008) with songs like ‘Lethargica’ and ‘Bleed’ and all the way to the very early days of Chaosphere (1998) with the track ‘New Millenium Cynadie Christ’. A true must-have for all die-hard Meshuggah-fans and those who still need to be fully convinced! And the first time it has been made available on vinyl.
