	Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects CD Reviews
		Fredrik Thordendal is the main songwriter in Meshuggah and this is his first solo effort.
		The time shifts, odd meters, and left of center arrangements are seemingly borne of a netherworld of insanity, but it is put together with a lot of thought and care.
		Thordendal's vocals are presented in a very dry, almost robotic fashion; this is a lot different than the Meshuggah approach where anger and frustration rule the day.

	Meshuggah
		Fredrik Thordendal managed to cut off the tip of his left middle finger (he is a carpenter).
		When Fredrik handled the bass he even played his leads on it, taking care of tapping, etc. "Destroy Erase Improve" was released in May 1995, this time with more proper marketing by the record label.
		Early in 1997 Fredrik was still busy on his solo album, which was released in March through UAE in Scandinavia, and in Japan in April.

	Thordendal interview from 1997 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Fredrik Thordendal is most known as the guitarist of northern-swedish band Meshuggah.
		Fredrik Thordendal has built a soundproof coffer in which he puts a guitar cabinet and a recording microphone.
		Fredrik has never really cared about experimenting with different settings on the strings height(distance to fretboard and pickups) but he thinks that the strings on his Ibanez are relative high.

	Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects --- Official Relapse Records Band Page
		Fredrik Thordendal (born February 11, 1970) is the lead guitarist and a founding member of the Swedish metal band Meshuggah.
		Under the name Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects, Thordendal released a solo album in 1997 titled "Sol Niger Within" with Ultimate Audio Entertainment.
		As a guitarist Thordendal draws attention with his clean, flowing, jazz influenced lead playing and powerful, rhythmically complex rhythm playing augumented by his use of low tuned eight string guitars.

		Fredrik Thordendal has really proven himself to be much more than just a part of the breath-taking machine known as Meshuggah; he has distinguished himself as a master conductor of sounds.
		Thordendal, however, has not only made a bold and artistic album, he has given it the greatest of merits: the ability to entertain.
		I'm going to put this on as I go to sleep tonight, and dream of idiots falling on their faces trying to dance to it.

	Amazon.com: Sol Niger Within, Version 3.33: Music: Fredrik Thordendals Special Defects (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Meshuggah's Fredrik Thordendal is a remarkable guitar player, among the most innovative in metal I believe.
		Thordendal's gated riffing style makes his rhythms very distinct and choppy, but compared to Meshuggah there is a bit more fluidity to the rhythm.
		Thordendal takes many opportunities to expand the vocabulary of his Holdsworth-inspired legato lead style, revealing his knack for modal improvisation too.

	Meshuggah - Biography - AOL Music
		After a few demos made the rounds, Metallien broke up and Fredrik Thordendal continued the band with a different lineup and a different name.
		Kidman and Thordendal then agreed to reclaim the Meshuggah name, and in 1989 the band released a three-song mini-LP; after signing to Nuclear Blast (and swapping Lundgren for new drummer Tomas Haake), they issued the full-length Contradictions Collapse in 1991.
		Second guitarist Mårten Hagström was recruited for 1993's None EP, followed two years later by Selfcaged; in the interim, however, the group was forced to maintain a low profile -- first Thordendal severed a finger in a carpentry accident, then Haake injured his hand in a mysterious grinder mishap.

		Fredrik Thordendal : Sol Niger Within, Version 3.33
		Thordendal is a guitarist for Meshuggah, and he meticulously combines the mathematical approach of this band, with the wild free form of such groundbreaking outfits as Pan-Thy-Monium and John Zorn's Naked City, complete with the saxophone player.
		Much of the album consists of keyboard guided guitar leads, from the pages of his full-time band, mixed with sinister screaming vocals.

	Custom Ibanez 7 - Fredrik Thordendal of Meshuggah - Jemsite
		Custom Ibanez 7 - Fredrik Thordendal of Meshuggah
		As you might know, Thordendal is an Ibanez endorsee, and he played a new custom model 7 string.
		It was powder grey with only the bridge pickup (if I know him correctly, it's probably a waxed DiMarzio Blaze II) and no fret inlays apart from two 3's, one above the other, on the 12th fret.
