Meshuggah Shares a Remastered Version of “Neurotica” from their Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Edition of “Chaosphere”


 

It is impossible to talk about experimental or avant-garde metal without mentioning long-running metal icons, Meshuggah . Since forming in 1987 in Umeå, Sweden, Meshuggah has developed into one of the most technically complex and virtuosic groups of players the metal realm has ever encountered, their distinctly unique brand of progressive, groove‐infused extreme metal inadvertently launching an entirely new subgenre. Crowned “one of the ten most important hard and heavy bands,” by Rolling Stone, the band has earned the respect and admiration from fans and musicians alike. 2023 now marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of one of the band’s earliest milestones: Chaosphere. Originally released on November 9th, 1998, Meshuggah’s third full-length studio album shows the band toning down some of the thrashier sounds of previous releases in favor of the more technical, polyrhythmic, groove-oriented sound they would go to explore on subsequent albums. The record contains the songs “New Millennium Cyanide Christ,” “Corridor Of Chameleons,” and “Neurotica,” some of the band’s most streamed tracks, among other highlights. Listen to a remastered version of “Neurotica” right now and pre-order the album:
