MESHUGGAH 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: The acclaimed sixth full-length from Swedish prog-metal auteurs and reluctant djent pioneers Meshuggah marked a notable return to their more raw and dexterous form of hyper-technical abrasion following the dizzying Catch Thirtythree which featured one ever-shifting piece divided into 13 segments. obZen saw the group utilising a live drum setup yet again following the Drumkit From Hell software synthesizer programming which Tomas Haake had exclusively pored over, leading to a more bombastic and feral sonic scope. Teeming with chaotic abandon balanced by their reliably overt calculation, cuts such as 'Bleed' served as latter day essential additions to their already bold catalogue while the absurdly vicious closing mammoth 'Dancers to a Discordant System' has become the band's go-to closer for live performances ever since.
