These guys were LIGHTYEARS ahead of their time man. This damn song came out in 1995!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe it?! Right along side Pearl Jam and all the other 90s boys

[@joaoldmedeiros]

Everyone was thinking different stuff back then... a lot more homogeneized now

[@TWITCH307]

I've been saying that since 2010. They were better then anyone in the genre way back then... Shit man, go back to the 90's. They killed it then. Made everyone look incredibly out matched.

Meshuggah's 90s releases were so influential. There were no other bands like them at the time.

There still aren't, but yeah imagine coming across this sound at the time. Must have been quite the feeling

[@wojecire]

Tons of wannabe bands and a few that took inspiration and did their own thing with it.

[@thenuttednutter2669]

Dude their lyrics are fantastic as well. I love how they genuinely sound dark and messed up in their words (especially obzen) while other bands just sound so basic and “kill everything, death, death, death”

when meshuggah came by on the last tour, i thought they weren't gonna have this song on the setlist. was walking away from the pit after humilative thinking they were gonna close with bleed and they played this song. never ran back faster in my life. sick cover for the heaviest metal song ever.

FBM was the first Meshuggah song I ever heard and is still one of my all-time faves. That 7/8 over 4/4 breakdown and then the airy solo going into a tripleted chug. Headbang heaven. And you killed it, my dude. Love that Schecter KM7.

first time I heard Meshuggah was when Swedish radio aired one of their live sets on a show called P3 Live. This was before Destroy Erase Improve was released, so around 93-95. I recorded the show on my cassette player and listened over and over to this song. Been a fan since! Also, good job

[@joaoldmedeiros]

Hahahaha that's quite the introduction! Thank you for sharing and for the love Steven ❤ you're the man!

[@blastbeatdown]

Man God Forbid rules too. At least Meshuggah got their flowers eventually. This generation hardly knows God Forbid. They were prob the most violent band in New Jersey at one point. They wrote some straight ASS BEATERS but were also metal af and melodic.

[@M4RCi92]

I remember back when I was a wee little laddie in 2004 with Killswitch Engage, Korn, SoaD, Static-X, Linkin Park and Disturbed on my playlist at the time. Then I found the name "Meshuggah" somewhere, found it super badass, so I downloaded Chaosphere... And then I promptly shat myself, like WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS, and I was completely obsessed with them for the next 6 months. They were 6000 levels above everyone else, I had never heard anything like them before. This shit still sounds super modern and alien, even after almost 30 years since its release. Absolute god tier band.

I love Meshuggah's music, and I know their songwriting is always intricate and borderline insane. However, this song specifically is just fucking nuts. Also, holy shit this aged like fine wine. That breakdown in the middle of the song is literally insane. It's perfectly placed in the song to just feel like a kick in the face when you listen to it. Sometimes just listening to their instrumentation I just can't help but sit down and be in awe on how amazing their music is. You did justice to this song my friend! Good stuff.
