"One of the ten most important hard and heavy bands" that's how the prestigious Rolling Stone Magazine describes Swedish sonic extremists MESHUGGAH. It is impossible to talk about experimental or avantgarde metal without mentioning this truly groundbreaking act: MESHUGGAH mix ultra-complicated rhythmic patterns with massive riffs and aggressive growls, combining Death Metal, Mathcore, Thrash and Progressive Metal to create their unique style. "ObZen" is their newest offering and one thing is for sure: expect the unexpected. You could say that "ObZen" is some sort of a best of album with fresh, new songs - but that's only half the truth. "ObZen" is once again a masterpiece of diversity and surprises. While the last album, "Catch Thirtythree" sounded like a gloomy lava realm of subconcious terror, "ObZen" is big buttkick. Some parts are still slo mo-groove infernos, but others, like the opener "Combustion" are high speed-massacres like the band never did before. Pure technical asskicking mayhem!
