Meshuggah - Chaosphere

Review by Arthur Venis

Chaosphere, the fourth studio album by Swedish metal band Meshuggah, is a brutal and technical masterpiece that showcases the band's signature sound of complex rhythms and dissonant guitar riffs. Released in 1998, the album received critical acclaim from fans and critics alike, cementing Meshuggah's place in the metal scene.

The album opens with the track "Concatenation," which immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album with its relentless drumming and intricate guitar work. The rest of the album follows suit, with songs like "New Millennium Cyanide Christ" and "Corridor of Chameleons" showcasing the band's ability to seamlessly blend chaotic rhythms with melodic hooks.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Mouth Licking What You've Bled," which features haunting vocals and a slower, more atmospheric sound than the rest of the album. This track provides a welcome break from the relentless onslaught of the rest of the album, while still maintaining the band's trademark intensity.
