Obzen came out in 2008 and immediately made everyone else's polyrhythms look like they were counting on their fingers. If you know, you know. If you don't, this is not the entry point and that's fine.Meshuggah built their own genre, more or less, and Obzen is the record where the djent and technical groove metal worlds finally had a name for what they'd been trying to do. The Obzen artwork is as precise and unsettling as the music itself, angular and mechanical and slightly wrong in all the right ways. It belongs on the jacket of someone who owns a lot of black and has opinions about time signatures. Good company in the Gojira, Periphery, SikTh, Strapping Young Lad corner of the patch collection.Woven sew-on patch, officially licensed. Country of origin: Sweden.
