Meshuggah




Not Feeling Terribly Progressive? Maybe you need more Swedish prog-inspired metal:

From Wikipedia:

Meshuggah is a Swedish five-piece experimental metal band from UmeƄ, known
for their use of extended polymetric passages, complex drum patterns, odd time
signatures, angular, dissonant guitar riffs, and harsh screaming vocals.

Two of thier more critically acclaimed albums, Destroy Erase Improve and Chaosphere are out there.

These guys sound very similar to Mastodon, a prog metal band from Atlanta. I don't gots none, but I thought about it. Still might if anyone's interested.
