Swedish metal extremists MESHUGGAH have offered up a new track entitled 'Bleed' for download. The track is a preview of the band’s forthcoming sixth full-length, obZen, slated for North American release on March 11th via Nuclear Blast.

"Wildly surpassing expectations, the track is an absolute torrent of aggression, melding the technical precision you’ve come to expect from the band, with some of the most taught, punishing riffs of the quintet’s twenty-one year career", says the label.

You can find 'Bleed' at this location.
