Title: Intelligent Brutality.
Product review: Meshuggah is one of those bands I've known about for a while but for one reason or another, just never really listened to - until now. The untrained ear will probably call it noise, but a metal masterpiece lies beneath the wall of sound in Chaosphere. Meshuggah are apparently ingenious musicians who posess the ability to construct entire songs centered around constantly revolving, insane time signatures (my personal favorite being the 23/16 intro to New Millenium Cyanide Christ). Add to that lo-tuned, crushing guitars, expert drumming, unrelenting vocals, and some really demented soloing (first heard on Concatenation), and you have the technical brutality of Chaosphere. This is my first record of theirs, looking forward to picking up Nothing and maybe Destroy Erase Improve.
