The ObZen World Tour is a concert tour by Swedish Metal band Meshuggah. It was in support of the band's 6th studio album obZen. It is the biggest tour the band has done to date; and the band has travelled to places around the world they previously have not performed in. In early 2009 Meshuggah has returned to North America on a tour with Cynic and The Faceless.

History

In 2007, Meshuggah returned to the studio to record their latest album, obZen, which was released in March 2008.[1] The band spent almost a year on the album; their longest recording session yet. A significant portion of the year was spent learning to perform the songs they wrote; the recording itself took six months.[2] obZen reached number 59 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and sold 11,400 copies in the United States in its first week of release, and 50,000 copies after six months.[3] With this album Meshuggah got more media attention and new fans.[4] The release was followed by a world tour, which started in the US and proceeded to Europe, Asia and Australia.[1]

Song debutes

In the first North American leg, three new songs from the new album were slated into the band's setlist: Electric Red, Bleed and Pravus. In the 2009 North American leg, Meshuggah debuted a full live version of the song Bleed. Up until then, live shows featured a shorter version, one similar to the video edit of the song. This leg also saw the debuts of the songs Combustion and Lethargica, also from the obZen album.
