Meshuggah

This neck-snapping Swedish extreme-metal juggernaut, which recently celebrated three decades of "musical deviance," is best known for its mind-boggling polyrhythms and unrestrained brutality. Meshuggah's most recent release, 2016's The Violent Sleep of Reason, was recorded live, unlike previous super-polished, post-processed albums. Expect the songs' full-throttle energy to translate well to the stage, as the band plays from it and the rest of its oeuvre.
