Meshuggah is a Swedish five-piece experimental metal band from Umeå, known for their use of extended polymetric passages, complex drum patterns, odd time signatures, angular, dissonant guitar riffs, and harsh screaming vocals.

The main lyricist of Meshuggah is drummer Tomas Haake. Lyrical themes are abstract commentaries on the self, society, mendaciousness, contradictions, transhumanism, life / death duality, the human condition, and spatial/4th dimensional concepts. While Haake tends to write the majority of the lyrics, guitarist Mårten Hagstrom and vocalist Jens Kidman have also contributed to certain songs.
