    Meshuggah should be included in music textbooks. I mean, they really revolutionized metal music and practically created a whole new genre of metal.

    Arnold Schoenberg defined musical success as: "When others both study and mimic you." By that definition, Meshuggah is one of the most successful metal bands there is. This sounds like something Pierre Boulez the famous 20th century composer would have come up with.

      I agree, but it would be messy once it's done at a very low tuning, percussive units needs to be distinguished in order to sound musical, but hey as I said You're totally right.

    • @MeshuggahDave.

      The instruments would have to be custom built to down tune acoustically. Worth the money for sure.

    It is so cool! It would be fabulous if you guys recreate Catch 33 album in the whole.

    Amazing cover. For some reason this gives me massive vibes of like custom DoomWADS people make and the custom music on it.
