Tomas Haake (Meshuggah) Fan First: TOOL, Rush, Primus, New Album, Hard Drummers, The Swedish Sound

Meshuggah drummer and lyricist Tomas Haake guests on the latest episode of Revolver's "Fan First" podcast, diving deep into his personal journey as a fan and artist. He looks back on his first drum kit and his years as a teenage metalhead rocking jeans with way too many band patches on them, reflects on his band's pioneering take on heavy music and, of course, discusses their long-awaited new album, 'Immutable.' Hosted by Christina Rowatt.
