M.e.s.h.u.g.g.a.h. - 'C.h.a.o.s.p.h.e.r.e.' (1998)
\m/
This was the first extreme metal release I ever bought. I cought it on cd in 1998. I brought it to my cousin Tommy's house on a Saturday night. I remember I got Kool Keith's Sex Styles that day also. Keith fit the Saturday night party vibe. Meshuggah did not. But I didn't care, I really wanted to listen to Meshuggah. So I went upstairs and listened to it on repeat by myself trying to make sense of the thing. It blew me away then, and this band continues to make my jaw drop more than two decades later.
