(2008–09)

The obZen World Tour was a concert tour by Swedish extreme metal band Meshuggah, in support of the band's sixth studio album obZen.

It is the biggest tour the band has done to date; and the band travelled to places around the world they had previously not performed in. In 2009, Meshuggah returned to North America on a tour with Cynic and The Faceless.

The Alive concert film was produced during the tour.

History

In 2007, Meshuggah returned to the studio to record their sixth album, obZen, which was released in March 2008.{{cite web | access-date = 2008-05-11

Song debuts

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.
