I say "meh-shuh-ga" but when I saw them live, the crowd was chanting "meh-shoo-ga".
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcYFYyk9Ops&feature=related[/media] Skip to about 35 seconds. It's MESH (like the material) then -UGGAH like sugar without the r. P.S. Those 2 guys are pretty fucking weird, but I still love their music. :buddy:
Just putting this out there, but extreme metal is a sub-genre of metal. It includes thrash, black, death, and some would say doom/stoner metal. It is not thrash mixed with death metal. Many people describe Meshuggah as "djent", which describes the harsh metallic 4-string "power chords" bands like Meshuggah or that have them as an influence use. Bulb (Misha Mansoor) and his work in Periphery are good examples. I don't really like meshuggah because of the vocals either, I don't really like the metalcore shout. I'm more into growls or just singing/barking.
syncopation/jazz influence. vocalist sounds like he stood on a spider for the last 10 years..

It's pronnounced Meshuggah as in [b]FUCKING WIN FULL OF EPIC AWESOME.[/b]
oooooh. dont mess with the dethklok!!
Meshuggah started (in my opinion) a whole new genra of music in which people have been completely influced by them. I for one am one of those people and completely infatuated with these off time beats. This style (which i've heard many times to be Djent, correct me if i'm wrong) will be the next big thing and will take metal in a completely different direction.
This is nice! [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5YEqmIIdj8[/url]
The I EP makes me sick ( literally ) sometimes because my brains cannot comprehend the rhythms ( and the awesomeness of them )

Meshuggah is taken from the Yiddish and Hebrew word for "Crazy", they are also a fucking amazing band. All other music just sounds crap after listening to Meshuggah. In my opinion 'Nothing' is their best album, and my top 3 favourite Meshuggah songs are Straws Pulled at Random Spasm Dancers to a Discordant System. Listening to Straws right now as it so happens. If you haven't heard this band before FUCKING DO IT. My life is literally better because of them. Also, everyone says that they have strange time signatures, but if people knew anything about music most of their stuff is in 4/4. They just use polyrhythms and such. I'm a drummerfag, so it's all easy for me.
I grew up with Fredrik, Kidman and the former basist Jörgen Lindmark and I know the name came from a comic strip called Kalle and Hobbe. Kalle was swinging an axe or something and it sounded like meshuggah. ;> You may find the answear here [url]http://images.google.com/images?q=kalle%20och%20hobbe&rls=com.microsoft:sv:IE-SearchBox&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7WZPA&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=sv&tab=wi[/url]
Saw them at Download 2009, was absolutely mindblowing. Tomas Haake is a god, he blew my goddamn mind his drumming is insane. You have to witness it, hearing it is one thing but being there when he plays is something else, the drums are so tight it's crazy. They opened with "Bleed" and it went nuts straight away, I couldn't believe how tight the Drummer was
I only have two albums, Destroy Erase Improve and Chaosphere, I think DEI is fucking awesome but I dislike Chaosphere, it was lacking something but I'm not sure what. :(
[QUOTE=Jibb;14801228]Fuck yes, these guys have some of the most technical breakdowns I've ever heard.[/QUOTE]It's not really a breakdown if the whole song is like that.
Chuggah Chu Chuggah, fucking amazing. This band invented insane technical breakdowns, which lead to good deathcore. I <3 these guys.

Song #4 on Contradictions starting at 2 minutes in (somewhere around there can't find my fucking CD) just makes me orgasim. And also the ending to #5 is awesome as well. Also I did not like the re-release of Nothing, as I found out they were programmed drums and you can't hear all the ghost notes that Haake does. You can only take programmed drums so far. Also on Catch 33 as well..

Future Breed Machine is a sick song
I is a sick song!
Oh man, I love these guys. They've got such a varied style. No two songs sound alike.

I like Jens' old style of vocals way better than his new robot growl thing. Also, both The Acacia Strain and Set Your Goals have ripped off the [i]Bleed[/i] riff.

I like the old style with Jens, Per Sjögren on drums and Jörgen on bas, it wasn´t so over produced and everything was new and wierd.
