No. 27: Meshuggah, ‘Bleed’ – Top 21st Century Metal Songs

One word always comes to mind when a fan thinks about the audio assault that Meshuggah unleash upon their fans -- crushing. Meshuggah accomplished a great deal in the 2000s, with 'Bleed' acting as a tremendous representation of Meshuggah's success.

'Bleed' focuses mainly on the abnormal rhythmic patterns which Meshuggah have made their trademark. The super-down-tuned guitars mixed with the atmospheric species Meshuggah have managed to tame has turned them into one of metal's most celebrated and identifiable extreme bands.
