Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Destroy Erase Improve' fundamentally altered the landscape of extreme metal, serving as the evolutionary genesis of the 'djent' subgenre. Meshuggah combines the aggression of technical thrash with incredibly complex, mechanical polyrhythms and futuristic, jazz-inspired guitar solos to create a uniquely heavy rhythmic assault.
