The band that can do no wrong. There is only one constant in my life and it's that no matter what I'm going through, I can always, always count on Meshuggah to churn out this deranged head-caving music. I always go through cycles after not hearing the band for a while and I think, 'are they really as great as I constantly chalk them up to be? Do I put them on too high of a pedestal?' and then I hear or see something that reaffirms tenfold their magnificence while I feel like I've been punished for faltering and doubting for even a single second

“First of all, we’re very sorry for creating that genre; we didn’t intend to - our bad. No, but it’s actually - I think it’s a misconception, that djent thing. I think it’s kind of hilarious,” explained rhythm guitarist Mårten Hagström. “It’s our lead guitar player, Fredrik [Thordendal], being drunk back in the day, talking to one of our old-school fans, trying to explain what type of guitar tone we were always trying to get, and he was desperately trying to say, ‘We want that ‘dj_,’ ‘dj_,’ ‘dj_,’ ‘dj_.'” “And that guy was, like, ‘What’s he saying? Is that a Swedish word? Must be. Sounds like dj_, maybe ‘djent’? Maybe something like that.’ And that’s where it comes from. A drunk misunderstanding, as always with Meshuggah.” When asked in regards to what sort of music that Meshuggah do play, Hagström described their sound as “heavy, experimental music”.
