overall I would say the influence of thrash in their early music is pretty transparent, and it was probably the vision of the band coupled with that influence that created their sound; whether or not they were influenced by early groove metal like pantera or not is hard to know, but by 1997 groove metal was in full swing, from machine head to fear factory, so there were certainly bands that sounded similar in terms of drumming, vocals, and riffs, even if there was not exactly the same emphasis on being mathematical. however, when none (the EP most of the songs from this set are from) originally came out in 1994? yeah, there was no one quite like them lmao, i mean just listen to the solos; it's crazy to me how early they were doing practically the same things they ended up being known for like ten, twenty years later~

@@123612100 “Heaviness” is kind of subjective but as far as heavy bands who are also technical, the rhythmic complexity had gotten to ridiculous levels, really only other “djent” bands compare, like Animals As Leaders, Intronaut, CB Murdoc, etc. bands like Cattle Decapitation, Nile, etc, don’t go to that rhythmic level. Even Dream Theater or The Dillinger Escape Plan…constantly changing time signatures is “easier” than the whole band working polymetrically. That’s how Meshuggah can be so technical and yet almost never losing the heaviness. (Also, the rhythms on their early work are elementary compared to later work.)

The reason why this band will always be relevant is because they have several things happening at once. They are connected to the past, so it's not about the brain, it's about the body - all the concerts you see people banging and doing what metal fans do. 2) I hear funk (first band listed as influence on this album was Earth Wind and Fire), I hear fusion, I hear metal. The riffs are not about math, like Hägstrom says in an interview. They have truly found something genuine. I look at them in this footage and see how connected to everything that came before them, and yet they forge a new path for themselves. NOBODY touches this band. Absolutely no one.
