Asked on The Downbeat Podcast whether Meshuggah are working on the follow up to Immutable, Tomas Haake answered that there is nothing in the works, and that the band intend to spend the next stretch on stage instead.

"We're just gonna do this 40th-anniversary tour in 2027, or two years of tours, and then we'll see," the drummer told the podcast, which is hosted by Craig Reynolds of Stray From The Path and was transcribed by Blabbermouth. "No promises, but I think... What are we gonna do? We're gonna make another album."

Immutable came out in 2022 and was remastered three years later as Immutable, The Indellible Edition, with three live tracks added. Haake said he is happy with the music on it and less happy with how long it runs, and that if somebody forced him to cut two songs he would start with The Faultless.

The anniversary run through North America early next year has Testament and Blood Incantation opening, and takes the band to Red Rocks for the first time. Four years have now passed since the last album, which is close to the gap the band usually leaves.
