Meshuggah sounds groovier and more diverse than ever. The extreme tech-metal giants delivered with Immutable one of their more enjoyable albums.

Igorrr… music not for the weak-hearted and close-minded, but if you are able to open yourself up for his creations this masterpiece will blow you away!

Very heavy and complex music by Finnish prog metal outfit!
