	ROCKZONE.COM: Live: Meshuggah/ Strapping Young Lad (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Meshuggah proceeded to blow the doors off of the venue with the first three tracks from Nothing, their latest album, before digging into older material from the None EP and the Destroy, Erase, Improve and Chaosphere full-lengths.
		What makes Meshuggah the greatest underground metal act touring today isn’t any sort of formula, but simply a batch of ingenious music that manages simultaneously to be the most dense and heavy batch of songs thought up on either side of the Atlantic.
		Meshuggah had blown the expectations of everyone in attendance away like so much debris; their point had been made already.

	Meshuggah Thesis
		Meshuggah was formed in 1987 in Umeå, Sweden.
		A central part of Meshuggahs concept lies in the drumming of Tomas Haake, the odd rythm-patterns upon the backdrop of the ordinary rock-beats.
		Meshuggahs recording will, on the other hand, sound very much the same wether you play it loud or quiet, because it has been made with the idea in mind of keeping the nominal level near max almost all the way.

	MESHUGGAH music, discography, MP3, videos and reviews
		MESHUGGAH are famous for their strong use of unusual time signatures, often relating to jazz complexities.
		MESHUGGAH are quite unlike any other metal bands on this forum and are certainly an interesting pick of the prog metal genre.
		Anyway, the best MESHUGGAH album in my opinion (I haven't heard them all though), still not perfect for me (probably never will be) but for the purposes the band intended, the kind of attack they wanted to create, this albums shows more restraint and control than others, and thus becomes a success.

		Meshuggah is more of a Brad-Pitt-in-12-Monkeys sort of kooky: despite the twitching and stuttered speech and nervous tics that might cause many to dismiss it as being a mere noisemonger and a musical anomaly - ineffectual in its lunacy - there festers a creative genius that provides the aforementioned method to the madness.
		I'm sure the creative minds behind Meshuggah are more than capable of penning solos - plural - that fit into the unique structures and reflect the same emotions they wish to convey in their songs.
		For others, Meshuggah is the prototype of twenty-first century metal, an uber-band rising above its contemporaries and predecessors in the long and varied lineage of metal and all of its subgenres.

	Meshuggah: Nothing - PopMatters Music Review
		Taylor, Meshuggah, as far as musicianship goes, are in a world all their own.
		Although Kidman does a great vocal job on "Spasm", his by-the-numbers, gutteral, nu-metal yell remains the bands weakest part, and Kidman's relevance in the band can be further questioned by the fact that the drummer writes most of the lyrics.
		Besides, the music provided by the other four members of the band is the key, and a more adept singer trying to provide a vocal harmony to this music would probably not work as well.

	Meshuggah: Catch Thirtythree - PopMatters Music Review
		Meshuggah have never been one to shy away from confounding listeners.
		Released in late 2004, the single-track I EP was arguably Meshuggah's best piece of work to date, a culmination of everything the band had done the previous decade, as the thrilling 21-minute composition drew from each of the band's incarnations, seamlessly incorporating slow with chaotic.
		Still, because Meshuggah are a band brimming with talent and ambition, even a flawed, self-indulgent experiment like this album is still better than much of the metal that's out there these days.

		Meshuggah makes their coffee Americano-style (adding hot water to espresso) rather than brewing it like most coffee shops.
		In fact, so many people have complimented Meshuggah on their Americano that owner Patrick Laberto is no longer surprised when first time customers come in and say it is the best coffee in St. Louis.
		The name Meshuggah is Yiddish for "crazy." This is more of an attitude than a description of the shop — it's a place you can go to be yourself and not worry about putting on an image.

	Meshuggah
		Meshuggah, whose name is taken from the Hebrew and Yiddish word for "crazy," is a four-piece math metal band from Umeå, Sweden who use extended polymetric passages, complex drum patterns, odd time signatures, angular, dissonant guitar riffs, and harsh, atonal vocals.
		Meshuggah was formed in Umeå in 1987; two years later, the band released their first record, an EP entitled ''Psykisk Testbild'' (which can be roughly translated as "psychological test picture", perhaps in reference to a Rorschach Test image).
		While the band's music is extremely intense and aggressive, the members often demonstrate a strong sense of humour: their video for "New Millennium Cyanide Christ" consisted of the five band members sitting inside their tour bus headbanging and air guitaring to the song; promotional photos of the band often include silly grimacing.

	village voice > music > Meshuggah's Catch 33 by Evan Moore
		Formed in 1985 in Umea, Sweden, Meshuggah set off their brand of Scandinavian thrash with atomic-clock precision and staccato rhythms until the organized chaos and fusion-on-crack solo of "Future Breed Machine," the dynamic exercise in aggression that leads 1995's Destroy, Erase, Improve.
		What sets Meshuggah apart from math-metal and other odd-meter bands is their use of displacement, polyrhythms, and superimposed polymetrics—shifting beats from where they're supposed to be, generating triplet and straight feels simultaneously, and sustaining several time signatures at once.
		Meshuggah's guitars are tuned so low (and have so many strings) they sound like basses, and drummer Tomas Haake's polymetrics add just what Clyde Stubblefield's syncopations brought to James Brown: funkiness.

		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.
		In 1997 Meshuggah returned with The True Human Design EP; that same year, Thordendal's side project, Special Defects, released their LP Sol Niger Within.
		Meshuggah reunited for 1998's Chaosphere, a thunderous album that was unbearably dense in its songwriting and scope.

	Meshuggah : Catch Thirty-Three - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Though they probably never intended it to, Meshuggah's 2004 EP I -- featuring a single 21-minute song -- helped open new possibilities at a crucial career juncture for the long-heralded Swedish originals.
		That's because, for all of the justified acclaim at having established a wholly unique and instantly recognizable sonic imprint, Meshuggah's recent efforts had started to seem a little tired and repetitive, leading some critics to accuse the band of treading water in a progressive death metal pool of its own creation.
		Because Meshuggah is more popular in Europe than America, they are often overlooked in the hardcore scene, but they truly are some of the most talented musicians in the world.

	Plan 9 - Meshuggah : Catch Thirty-Three
		Meshuggah: Jens Kidman (vocals); Marten Hagstrom (guitar); Fredrik Thordendal (guitars); Dick Lovgren (bass guitar); Tomas Haake (drums).
		After repeatedly raising the bar for metal bands everywhere, Meshuggah goes slightly experimental on CATCH THIRTY-THREE, the respected Swedish outfit's 2005 release.
		Meshuggah keeps intact its propensity for the pummeling riffs, demonic vocals, and complex polyrhythms that have compelled massive crowds to headbang in 7/4 time.

		Meshuggah's amazing evolution from a quirky metal band into a full-blown hard rock juggernaut with release of their 2002 opus, Nothing.
		Along with the usual attacks on Meshuggah for being tuneless (among other things), Nothing was widely considered by fans of the band to be a disappointment.
		But Meshuggah was really hinting at something here, which I think was lost on a lot of people until perhaps Catch Thirty-Three was released (and judging by the reviews, is still lost on some of those people)...

		MESHUGGAH followed up next with the EP, True Human Design, hinting on what was about to disembark on their next monumental album, Chaosphere.
		After the release of, Nothing, MESHUGGAH were once again invited on a tour with Tool, and a headlining tour of their own.
		Meshuggah combines thrash metal, death metal, and polyrhythms together and ends up with the unique sound that sets them apart from the rest of their heavy metal peers.

	KNAC.COM - Features - Kerby sits with Meshuggah
		When Jack Osbourne blasted Meshuggah through the speakers in his room earlier this year in an attempt to seek voluminous vengeance on his hated neighbors, the group suddenly found themselves receiving attention from the media in this country at an unprecedented rate.
		Of course, the backbone of Meshuggah’s intricate attack is drummer Tomas Haake who recently sat down to discuss the band’s past, present and future in metal.
		Meshuggah definitely tend to be more chromatic/experimental sounding, while Pantera has a great classic 70's rock/blues feel to their sound (some of their stuff anyway).

		Hailing from northern Sweden's thriving death metal/thrash scene is Meshuggah, a quintet whose origins date back to the late '80s.
		Fans of Meshuggah will be pleased to know that the appearance of the band's music on an episode of The Osbournes and the group's subsequent slot on the Ozzfest tour has done nothing to bring this Swedish demolition unit closer to the mainstream.
		And Meshuggah's math-metal formulas are still awe-inspiring, bringing its bludgeoning sound to a new level of rib-rattling savagery.

		As complex as the music of Meshuggah might be, the band itself has certainly found its niche and stuck to it.
