Our take
by Angus
The word "obZen" is a portmanteau of sorts, it refers to mankind finding its ‘zen’ in the obscure and obscene. If that concept sounds a little bit overwrought and difficult to digest then it’s possible that Meshuggah aren’t the band for you.
obZen is the sixth studio album from the Swedish extreme/progressive metal titans. The album features fan favourite ‘Dancers To A Discordant System’ and lead single ‘Bleed’ – a chugging buzzsaw of double–kick prodigiousness, and some of Meshuggah’s most focussed work. It’s an essential album for any Meshuggah fan, as well as anyone with even a passing interest in the metal genre.
