Not long ago, in a Scandinavian country not far away, MESHUGGAH drummer Tomas Haake received a call from Nuclear Blast HQ in Germany asking for his assistance in promoting the band's upcoming live DVD / Blu-Ray + 2-CD release, The Ophidian Trek, due out in North America on September 30th.

For anyone who cares to be entertained by the comical "dark side" of the music industry, here's how it all went down:

The hilarious moral of the story: Don't ask musicians to turn off their PS4 game consoles.

The Ophidian Trek is MESHUGGAH's second live DVD and showcases footage shot in the U.S. & Europe during The Ophidian Trek tour, including Germany's Wacken Open Air festival in 2013. The live audio was processed & edited by MESHUGGAH guitarist Fredrik Thordendal, mixed by Daniel Begstrand (MESHUGGAH, DIMMU BORGIR, BEHEMOTH), and mastered by Mats "Limpan" Lindfors (ROXETTE, OPETH, MANDO DIAO).
