Abstract

This paper updates and supplements the published research on Meshuggah, in particular a seminal 2007 article by Jonathan Pieslak. Just as Meshuggah’s music deviates from certain stylistic traits of heavy metal at the macro level, so too do the technical features of their rhythmic approach deviate from certain music-theoretical yardsticks at the micro level. Analytic vignettes drawn from six songs explore the many forms that “rhythmic deviance” takes in this music.
