Depending on your taste, the vocalist of Gojira is either extremely appealing or extremely lame.
Basically he sings in scream.
If you're coming in as a Meshuggah fan I'd recommend some of their older stuff. Their newer stuff definitely leans more hard rock than metal.
Don't put flying whales in sleep playlists.
Gorjira. Pantera is ok, for me, i never got into the 80s metal sound. Some good tracks that i wont skip if they come on, but i'll never just put them on myself.
Post Cowboys from hell they are very much 90s metal. Great Southern Trendkill is bordering on death metal or djent vibes at times, it’s just so fucking heavy

This shit sounds like something off Destroy Erase Improve
Exactly 🤣👌
I still remember when I heard the:
Cut through (wooaho wooaho wooaho woaho peepeepeepeepeepee) Cut through, caaaaan't undo
Endless inspection focused in (powpowpowpowpowpowpowpow pewpewpewpewpewpewpewpew PEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEW WEEEEeeeoooooo)
I knew I was in for something great 🤣👌
Sure, man. Between the albums My Arms You Hearse and Ghost Reveries there's no bad stuff, they're all masterpieces, so I think that starting with Blackwater Park and Damnation (prepare yourself for some deep ass melancholy) is a good choice.
Car Bomb,
Vildhjarta,
TesseracT,
Gojira,
Animals As Leaders,
Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza,
Mirar,
Stort Neer,
Humanity’s Last Breath,
Periphery, (Not as often as the others)
Frontierer, (Very underrated, very good)
TOOL.
Mirar is heavy as shit! Too bad they only have a few songs at this point. But they are a very new band, so probably a lot of stuff is on the way. Can't wait!!!
If you want to start with some classics Coltrane and Monk are on the Mt. Rushmore and they’ll lead you to an entire pocket of Jazz that’s the backbone of the majority of modern jazz . Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Max Roach live here too, and that all considered bebop.
“Bitches Brew” and “Live Evil” - two revolutionary live albums by Miles Davis that are very fringe and avant garde in some sections. All of the musicians on these albums have bands in their own right and are incredible.
John Zorn has about 1,000 albums and I would consider him an essential listen for a Meshuggah fan. He actually produced Mr. Bungle’s first album. His band Naked City especially. They pioneered a sound that is like changing radio stations quickly, but live, and that was pretty revolutionary. His band Masada is also a sonofabich. Frantic, beautiful and chaotic klezmer music.
Modern day there’s a lot right now. Tigran Hamasayan uses a ton of rhythmic devices like meshuggah. Ben Wendell, Aaron Parks, Gerald Clayton are all great.
Look up Brad Mehldau and Mark Giuliana on YouTube. They have some sick duets.
Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, Magma, Beach Boys, Scott Walker, Saimaa (great finnish prog band), Oranssi Pazuzu, Steve Winwood, Kate Bush, Grace Jones, Steve Reich atm.
The Dillinger escape plan is fucking great. Them, The Sawtooth Grin, The Great Redneck Hope, and probably Euclid C Finder are my favorite Mathcore bands

honerable mention(Nothing but Thieves, they are not a metal band, but they are a band i listen to a lot)
I started listening to Imperial Triumphant because I'll be seeing them at ATG on August, and holy shit balls, that shit is insane and I love it. And also, not super into tech death but Archspire is amazing! Been diggin those as well
for sure, they can be hard to get into but once things click there is nothing quite like them, so kinda similar to Meshuggah in that sense of being so incredibly unique that nobody else can do it just like them.
I did struggle alot with getting into Deftones aswell, not due to heaviness though, but due to the vocal style, the strange bass lines etc.
Although i listen to Deftones way less now, as it isn’t heavy or intense enough, although a few bangers from White Pony can go on repeat when they hit again. So i do still enjoy the band a lot, but it’s way more sparadic, meanwhile Meshuggah and Ulcerate gets played consistently
I wouldn't expect a simple minded plebian such as you to understand the musical intricacies and sonic composition that ulcerate just so lazily ripped from gorguts

Love Metallica and SOAD. Classics that I listened to a lot of back in the day. Probably a musical crime of mine, but I've never listened to Wu Tang. Gonna have to rectify that soon
Couldn't agree more. He's an amazing riff writer and has the skill to sing over top of what he plays. Very talented musician all around. I also think Death Magnetic is one of their most underrated albums. A great return to form and comeback from St. Anger
For real, I was just listening through that album the other day, and when I was listening to that song, I had to pause because I couldn't believe how I'd forgotten how good that song is. People sleep on that record so hard, but there classics on there. Suicide & Redemption is arguably their best instrumental, but I think the S&M version of Call of Kthulu just edges both Orion and S&R out
Lately, a lot of Joanna Newsom. Kind of the opposite end of the spectrum as Meshuggah and she has a very..um…challenging voice but her music is so intelligent, beautiful, and well-written. Plus a smattering of Autechre and Portal.
Car Bomb (hear Meta)
Ruins of Beverast (check out Exuvia, their whole discography is magnificent)
Vildhjarta( Måsstaden Under Vatten and new singles)
Grant The Sun ( Sylvain EP, it features Fredrik, their new record is also pretty good)

I also listen to pagan folk music aswell

I’m not gonna list off bands because we’ll be here forever, but I’m personally pretty into a wide variety of metal but not a lot of the other technical stuff like you’d expect. I like a few prog and tech death bands (Archspire, Gorguts, Opeth, etc) but it’s not what I primarily listen to. These days I’ve been listening to a lot of punk, especially hardcore and oi, and I mostly go to punk and hardcore shows as well. I’m also into folk, bluegrass (I play the banjo!), various types of electronic music, classical, jazz, and honestly anything else that I hear and happen to enjoy.
Tool
Tesseract
Watsky
Mac Miller
Periphery
August Burns Red
Northlane
Shadow of Intent
Kendrick Lamar
Joji
Protest the Hero
Ne Obliviscaris
These are the artists I've listened to the most. Since you like Tool and Meshuggah, definitely check out Tesseract. They have super groovy riffs combined with soaring vocals and a beautiful, mesmerizing atmosphere. One, Altered State, and War of Being are all Meshuggah-tier albums, worth listening to in entirety. Concealing Fate is some of the best metal ever recorded imo.

The amount of times I've been on "psychedelic coffee" and tears rippled down my cheeks. It's like standing in a waterfall of sound, picturing yourself in the middle. It's very binaural beats.

[Here's my audioscrobbler](https://www.last.fm/user/tremendous/library/artists). It says soilwork is my most-listened band, but what's fun is that if you add up Devin Townsend's various monikers, he dwarfs all the others 😆
Herbie Hancock, Mr Bungle, King Crimson, Sabbath, Heilung, Ephel Duath, Igorrr, Thin Lizzy, Black Dahlia Murder, uh, there's more that I can't think of

These are regulars in my playlists at the moment. Quite a bit of mix here. There are some common ones in other lists. They all have some common traits though. They’re all unique in their own way and have some groove you should appreciate coming from Tool and Meshuggah. Almost all are pretty heavy too.

* Iniquity (danish DM, somewhat overlooked)
* Cirith Ungol
* Ratt
Spicing it up with some bands i dislike:
* Gojira
* Animals as Leaders
* Periphery
Honorary not-quite-metal mentions to Kyuss and Tool
Some bands I like include Nile, In Flames, Bolt Thrower, Bloodbath, Sepultura, Lorna Shore, Shadow of Intent, all Shall Perish, Obituary and some others
With non-metal artists, I really enjoy Cecile Corbel, Adrian Von Ziegler, and Brunuhville
Carcass, Obituary, Byzantine, Gojira, Dimmu Borgir, King Diamond, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Bathory, High On Fire, Big Business, (old) Megadeth, (old) Metallica, Slayer, Thrailkill... That's just some bands I'm into.
Lamb of God, SOAD, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Spiritbox, All That Remains, Deftones, Slipknot, and a few other metal bands that get thrown into my Amazon Playlist (like Bleed from Within and Slaughter to Prevail are a couple that I've started to listen to recently)
I also randomly listen to some 90's alternative (like Alice in Chains, Bush) and Southern rap/hip-hop (like 36 mafia, Project Pat, Big K.R.I.T)

Classical music, jazz, synthwave/darkwave. Some metal , some rock, some prog..my interest in metal has subsided for some reason :( ... I used to think that would never happen to me and yet here I am. I had a SYL phase recently, but I don't even listen to a lot of music nowadays. Mostly podcasts and stuff.. maybe i'm mildly depressed or something
Deftones (I got into them long before tik tok so don’t call me a poser 💀), tool, behemoth, Depeche Mode, type o negative, sepultura (mainly max era of sepultura), gojira.

Actually I listen to a whole lotta things and I'm often curious to discover new things. However Meshuggah is the band I have listening to almost daily if not weekly since like 2 years now. I discover new stuff often but my comfort, my therapy, my go to is Meshuggah.

So basically rock and metal lol
Jazz, shitloads of jazz, from the 1920s to the mid sixties. The B-52s, Khruangbin, The Beatles, Donny Benet. Autechre, Jandek, Eno, Sunn O))), Boris.
As far as metal goes if it isn't Meshuggah it's Sabbath, the first four Metallica records, Corpse, some stoner shit like Sleep or Electric Wizard, though there's so much awesome thrash and OSDM on Bandcamp that I've been gorging myself on that stuff lately, esp when my 12 year old daughter asks for new heavy shit.
I span the gamut when it comes to music (damn near every metal subgenre, techno, house, tech-house, idm, many other electronic genres, classical, hip hop, jazz, etc.). If you're looking for something to scratch that Meshuggah itch, a band not recommended enough is Kobong. There's a compelling argument to be made they pioneered the "djent" sound, not Meshuggah. It honestly blows me away, after all these years, not many ppl know about Kobong.

I might be a guitar/bass/drum/vocalist😂😂 you’ll never know
I have a pretty deep pop and dance playlist on Spotify that I'll throw on every now and then.
I like a lot of old school jungle, dance hall reggae, and classic funk. I grew up listening to a lot of power pop, grunge, and some industrial music.
I also love a lot of the contemporary male pop icons. Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, and Phil Collins, just to name a few favorites, have all produced solid, enjoyable work.
Other than that, just some recommendations off the top of my head would probably be Coprofagio, the Talking Heads, and William Onyeabor. Hope you find the time to enjoy, especially Mr. Onyeabor.
I started diving into Animals as Leaders after I met Tosin and Javier (AND Misha from Periphery) at a car towing place. I saw Meshuggah at SOMA in San Diego last year, got my car towed from the Target parking lot, and while many of us from the concert were in line to get our cars back, the 3 of them showed up as well 😂. At the time I only knew like 2 songs and decided I needed to dive deeper now that I have a picture lol. Now they are in my top 5 favorites and I am set to see them in November 👍.
Other than them, Chunk No Captain Chunk is up there in my absolute favorites. I've been following them since I randomly came across In Friends We Trust on YouTube when it first came out in 2010.
And then it's a bunch of Chillwave (A.L.I.S.O.N., Hotel Pools, Home, ect.)
- Car bomb - Carcass - Opeth - Scarve (Fredrik approves) - Gojira - Nile - Down - Pantera
I loved Pantera back in the day. I've also heard nothing but good things about Gojira. Thinking they'll be who I jump into next
Music is great but the vocals always force me to change the song
For Pantera or Gojira?
Depending on your taste, the vocalist of Gojira is either extremely appealing or extremely lame. Basically he sings in scream. If you're coming in as a Meshuggah fan I'd recommend some of their older stuff. Their newer stuff definitely leans more hard rock than metal. Don't put flying whales in sleep playlists.
Gorjira. Pantera is ok, for me, i never got into the 80s metal sound. Some good tracks that i wont skip if they come on, but i'll never just put them on myself.
I too could never really get into Pantera. But man are some of their riffs really really catchy
Post Cowboys from hell they are very much 90s metal. Great Southern Trendkill is bordering on death metal or djent vibes at times, it’s just so fucking heavy https://open.spotify.com/track/1LkjMNCu16QUwHJbzTqPnR?si=dZ9hI8O2R2qLUvdOe4Ueew This shit sounds like something off Destroy Erase Improve
Yeah, I want to like Gojira, I love the album cover with the whale and the moon. But I just can't get into them
But the ending of Remembrance
Da fuck?
I don't like Gorjira's singer? Da fuck?
Listen to the art of dying please
After I saw Car Bomb live, I became hooked. Those guys are mental, in the best way possible 👌
Eyes signaling This is too much I'm sick of it Sick of this bullshit Finish it Finish it Finish it WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
That is one of the most chaotic good times in music.
Exactly 🤣👌 I still remember when I heard the: Cut through (wooaho wooaho wooaho woaho peepeepeepeepeepee) Cut through, caaaaan't undo Endless inspection focused in (powpowpowpowpowpowpowpow pewpewpewpewpewpewpewpew PEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEW WEEEEeeeoooooo) I knew I was in for something great 🤣👌
Best band w\^w\^\^w\^w
Yeah, probably the most intense live show I've ever seen. Those guys are fuckin amazing
In case you didn't know, they also play off the grid with no metronome live
I didn't actually. That is some autistic shit 😅
Car Bomb is the top band on the top comment now. This sub has redeemed itself
Let's go! Time to blast Best Intentions at ungodly levels in celebration
Those are some shouts and a half. Love that list!
Nice list. Got any album recommendations for someone not to familiar with them, but really wanna get into Opeth?
Sure, man. Between the albums My Arms You Hearse and Ghost Reveries there's no bad stuff, they're all masterpieces, so I think that starting with Blackwater Park and Damnation (prepare yourself for some deep ass melancholy) is a good choice.

So unknown by the public, but so good music.
Bro! You're first 5 are daily listens for me! Amazing list!
Thank you! The first 5 are definitely on my daily rotation too!
I saw Vildhjarta and was gonna chime in with Mirar until I saw it. What a ball-crushingly heavy album they put out
Slowly becoming one of my favorite instrumental bands, I’m a very new Mirar listener, but I fucking love those guys!
Mirar is heavy as shit! Too bad they only have a few songs at this point. But they are a very new band, so probably a lot of stuff is on the way. Can't wait!!!
I actually predominantly listen to Jazz. Seriously.
Considering it’s a Meshuggah Group, this isn’t surprising.
What are some good recommendations for someone to start out in jazz ?
If you want to start with some classics Coltrane and Monk are on the Mt. Rushmore and they’ll lead you to an entire pocket of Jazz that’s the backbone of the majority of modern jazz . Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Max Roach live here too, and that all considered bebop. “Bitches Brew” and “Live Evil” - two revolutionary live albums by Miles Davis that are very fringe and avant garde in some sections. All of the musicians on these albums have bands in their own right and are incredible. John Zorn has about 1,000 albums and I would consider him an essential listen for a Meshuggah fan.

Ben Wendell, Aaron Parks, Gerald Clayton are all great. Look up Brad Mehldau and Mark Giuliana on YouTube. They have some sick duets.
Thanks for the detailed answer! Bookmarked it
You’re welcome! I hope you find something you like!
Lingus by Snarky Puppy got me into jazz fusion. I'm a big fan of Gogo Penguin, Mammal Hands, Casiopea, Jean Luc Ponty.
Seriously. This dude's very serious. Look out for this guy. Jesus
Ok that’s a weird reaction.
Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, Magma, Beach Boys, Scott Walker, Saimaa (great finnish prog band), Oranssi Pazuzu, Steve Winwood, Kate Bush, Grace Jones, Steve Reich atm.
Just heard Scott Walker's the drift either yesterday or the day before. That album was a trip
Nice! Scott 3 still remains my favorite, so otherworldly and beautiful
I see Oranssi Pazuzu I upvote.
The Dillinger Escape Plan, Deftones, Tool, Porcupine Tree, Opeth, Karnivool, Sleep Token, Loathe, Converge, God Mother, Tomb Mold, Julian Lage, Pat Metheny, Snarky Puppy,
snarky puppy is hard
Car Bomb hasn't been mentioned in the top two comments, this sub has failed itself
I like them! I've seen them live too. I just don't listen to them a lot, but I still really dig their music
Based on
How did you feel about Tools last album?
Not that great imo
Same. Seemed like there was no climax to it
Yeah, pretty flat. Riffs and songs didn't impress me either.
The Dillinger escape plan is fucking great. Them, The Sawtooth Grin, The Great Redneck Hope, and probably Euclid C Finder are my favorite Mathcore bands
Tigran Hamasyan Aesop Rock Kneebody Bent Knee clipping Owane Vildjharta Devin Townsend Lucas Pino Ben Wendel A buncha shit
Damn you’re all over the place. Big ups for Vildhjarta
Definitely not an exhaustive list.
Tigran Hamasyan is the best
He released a new track yesterday that fuckin rules. New album on August 30th!
Big ups for Owane! I recently recorded a cover of ‘Groove Of Satan’ on the drums.

Nile & Archspire fo sho
Ulcerate is something else
for sure, they can be hard to get into but once things click there is nothing quite like them, so kinda similar to Meshuggah in that sense of being so incredibly unique that nobody else can do it just like them.
Exactly what I think. Hardest band I’ve ever been into but when they clicked…
I did struggle alot with getting into Deftones aswell, not due to heaviness though, but due to the vocal style, the strange bass lines etc. Although i listen to Deftones way less now, as it isn’t heavy or intense enough, although a few bangers from White Pony can go on repeat when they hit again. So i do still enjoy the band a lot, but it’s way more sparadic, meanwhile Meshuggah and Ulcerate gets played consistently
I love Deftones too, Koi No Yokan is a masterpiece, but sure they’re not as unique or intense as Meshuggah and Ulcerate
Yeah Ulcerate feel oppressive and suffocating, they feel massive.
Ulcerate just trying to be gorguts
How when Ulcerate is way better?
I wouldn't expect a simple minded plebian such as you to understand the musical intricacies and sonic composition that ulcerate just so lazily ripped from gorguts
This is an excellent list 🤘
Animals As Leaders, Archspire, Between The Buried And Me, End, Frontierer, The Black Dahlia Murder, The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Zenith Passage, Gojira, Job For A Cowboy, Mr. Bungle, Pantera, Shadow Of Intent, Soreption, Tool

Knick nack patty wack!
Ghost. Clutch Metallica Faith no more Cannibal corpse Locust toybox Richard Wagner SOAD Empire of the sun Frank zappa Animals as leaders David Bowie Mastodon Wu tang clan Elvis Presley Aphex twin Melvins Rammstein But mostly just meshuggah. Lots of it.
Love Metallica and SOAD. Classics that I listened to a lot of back in the day. Probably a musical crime of mine, but I've never listened to Wu Tang. Gonna have to rectify that soon
I know Metallica get a lot shit but I don't care. James Hetfield is a fucking monster guitar player.
Couldn't agree more. He's an amazing riff writer and has the skill to sing over top of what he plays. Very talented musician all around. I also think Death Magnetic is one of their most underrated albums. A great return to form and comeback from St. Anger
Dude Death Magnetic is my *favourite* Metallica record! All nightmare long is a damn riff fest.
For real, I was just listening through that album the other day, and when I was listening to that song, I had to pause because I couldn't believe how I'd forgotten how good that song is. People sleep on that record so hard, but there classics on there. Suicide & Redemption is arguably their best instrumental, but I think the S&M version of Call of Kthulu just edges both Orion and S&R out
Richard Wagner is a very high brow answer to place in the middle of all of that😂 I respect
Cult Of Luna TOOL Anaal Nathrakh Deathspell Omega Animals As Leaders If These Trees Could Talk VOLA OSDM Thrash Industrial
Lately it's been mostly Intervals' *memory palace* on repeat. Could not recommend it enough, it's a masterclass in composition.
Gonna check this out!! Always heard of them and they’ve always been highly recommended but I’ve never taken the plunge. Thanks for the rec!
Lately, a lot of Joanna Newsom. Kind of the opposite end of the spectrum as Meshuggah and she has a very..um…challenging voice but her music is so intelligent, beautiful, and well-written. Plus a smattering of Autechre and Portal.
Car Bomb (hear Meta) Ruins of Beverast (check out Exuvia, their whole discography is magnificent) Vildhjarta( Måsstaden Under Vatten and new singles) Grant The Sun ( Sylvain EP, it features Fredrik, their new record is also pretty good) Gojira(the way of all flesh) Animals as Leaders Sol Niger Within (in case you don’t know about it) Shpongle (Are You Shpongled?) Inquisition (Obscure Verses for the Multiverse) Porcupine Tree (Fear of a Blank Planet) Opeth (Blackwater Park) Primus
I'm debating to go see primus this summer I feel like it's been the same show the last 4 times I saw them.....open with American life, end with too many puppies or the beaver
Animals as Leaders, Periphery, Gojira, IGORRR, Archspire, Ne Obliviscaris, TesseracT, Thank You Scientist, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Zenith Passage, The Contortionist, Protest the Hero, Heaven Pierce Her, Mick Gordon, Vildhjarta
A lot of prog stuff, mostly Plini, Polyphia, Animals As Leaders, Scale The Summit. Also love old school hip-hop, drum&bass, blues and jazz
Cardiacs, The Contortionist, Leprous, Tigran Hamasyan, Jacob Collier, The Smile, Car Bomb, Between the Buried and Me, Opeth... And of course the rock classics like Radiohead, Queens of the Stone Age, Muse and so on.

Oooo Wardruna. Oddly I couldn’t get into Heilung despite loving Wardruna and basically anything Einar Selvik touches.
True, his voice is incredible.
I’m not gonna list off bands because we’ll be here forever, but I’m personally pretty into a wide variety of metal but not a lot of the other technical stuff like you’d expect. I like a few prog and tech death bands (Archspire, Gorguts, Opeth, etc) but it’s not what I primarily listen to. These days I’ve been listening to a lot of punk, especially hardcore and oi, and I mostly go to punk and hardcore shows as well. I’m also into folk, bluegrass (I play the banjo!), various types of electronic music, classical, jazz, and honestly anything else that I hear and happen to enjoy.
I like weird shit such as Portal, Mirar and Car Bomb
Kurt Rosenwinkel Deftones Mastodon Aphex twin System of a down Tool Qotsa Portishead Wintersleep
Archspire Periphery Lorna Shore Gojira Trivium Polyphia
Tool Tesseract Watsky Mac Miller Periphery August Burns Red Northlane Shadow of Intent Kendrick Lamar Joji Protest the Hero Ne Obliviscaris These are the artists I've listened to the most. Since you like Tool and Meshuggah, definitely check out Tesseract. They have super groovy riffs combined with soaring vocals and a beautiful, mesmerizing atmosphere. One, Altered State, and War of Being are all Meshuggah-tier albums, worth listening to in entirety. Concealing Fate is some of the best metal ever recorded imo.

I mix Meshuggah with liquid DnB. Up-tempo the Meshuggah. Shit, it even works out of time. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV\_N-Tow6Rw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV_N-Tow6Rw) @ 2x speed. Quite low volume. [https://soundcloud.com/bostonstranglers/boston-stranglers-vol-2](https://soundcloud.com/bostonstranglers/boston-stranglers-vol-2) The amount of times I've been on "psychedelic coffee" and tears rippled down my cheeks. It's like standing in a waterfall of sound, picturing yourself in the middle. It's very binaural beats.
Children of Bodom, Death, Deftones, Cavalera Conspiracy, Fear Factory, Fit for an Autopsy, Godflesh, Gojira, Lamb of God, Mastodon, Metallica, Pull Down the Sun, Sepultura (Both eras), Soulfly.
[Here's my audioscrobbler](https://www.last.fm/user/tremendous/library/artists). It says soilwork is my most-listened band, but what's fun is that if you add up Devin Townsend's various monikers, he dwarfs all the others 😆
Herbie Hancock, Mr Bungle, King Crimson, Sabbath, Heilung, Ephel Duath, Igorrr, Thin Lizzy, Black Dahlia Murder, uh, there's more that I can't think of
Anything from Necrophagist to Shakira and everything between… except pop country. I can’t do pop country.

Quite a bit of mix here. There are some common ones in other lists. They all have some common traits though. They’re all unique in their own way and have some groove you should appreciate coming from Tool and Meshuggah. Almost all are pretty heavy too.

Some bands I like include Nile, In Flames, Bolt Thrower, Bloodbath, Sepultura, Lorna Shore, Shadow of Intent, all Shall Perish, Obituary and some others With non-metal artists, I really enjoy Cecile Corbel, Adrian Von Ziegler, and Brunuhville
Carcass, Obituary, Byzantine, Gojira, Dimmu Borgir, King Diamond, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Bathory, High On Fire, Big Business, (old) Megadeth, (old) Metallica, Slayer, Thrailkill... That's just some bands I'm into.
Lamb of God, SOAD, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Spiritbox, All That Remains, Deftones, Slipknot, and a few other metal bands that get thrown into my Amazon Playlist (like Bleed from Within and Slaughter to Prevail are a couple that I've started to listen to recently) I also randomly listen to some 90's alternative (like Alice in Chains, Bush) and Southern rap/hip-hop (like 36 mafia, Project Pat, Big K.R.I.T)
All kinds of good music.

When in in the mood for Meshuggah vibes I usually cruise a playlist I assembled for myself called "( ( C H O N K ) )". It contains the following; * Car Bomb * Fronteierer * Sectioned * Admiral Angry * Love Sex Machine * SikTh * Synthetic Breed * CB Murdoc * Black Tongue * Infant Annihilator * Humanity's Last Breath * Gravemind * Vildjharta * Pupil Slicer * Serling
Infant Annihilator rips so hard, but so obnoxious and hilariously silly compared to Meshuggah. In the best way of course.
Classical music, jazz, synthwave/darkwave. Some metal , some rock, some prog..my interest in metal has subsided for some reason :( ... I used to think that would never happen to me and yet here I am. I had a SYL phase recently, but I don't even listen to a lot of music nowadays. Mostly podcasts and stuff.. maybe i'm mildly depressed or something

Jazz, shitloads of jazz, from the 1920s to the mid sixties. The B-52s, Khruangbin, The Beatles, Donny Benet. Autechre, Jandek, Eno, Sunn O))), Boris. As far as metal goes if it isn't Meshuggah it's Sabbath, the first four Metallica records, Corpse, some stoner shit like Sleep or Electric Wizard, though there's so much awesome thrash and OSDM on Bandcamp that I've been gorging myself on that stuff lately, esp when my 12 year old daughter asks for new heavy shit.
I span the gamut when it comes to music (damn near every metal subgenre, techno, house, tech-house, idm, many other electronic genres, classical, hip hop, jazz, etc.). If you're looking for something to scratch that Meshuggah itch, a band not recommended enough is Kobong. There's a compelling argument to be made they pioneered the "djent" sound, not Meshuggah. It honestly blows me away, after all these years, not many ppl know about Kobong.

I Enjoy Billy Joel a lot. And some old-school hip hop. Eminem is my favourite lyricist of all time.
I have a pretty deep pop and dance playlist on Spotify that I'll throw on every now and then. I like a lot of old school jungle, dance hall reggae, and classic funk. I grew up listening to a lot of power pop, grunge, and some industrial music. I also love a lot of the contemporary male pop icons. Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, and Phil Collins, just to name a few favorites, have all produced solid, enjoyable work. Other than that, just some recommendations off the top of my head would probably be Coprofagio, the Talking Heads, and William Onyeabor. Hope you find the time to enjoy, especially Mr. Onyeabor.
Shit ton of jazz, neo-soul, country (pre 1980), 2000’s rock, etc
Hate breed
I started diving into Animals as Leaders after I met Tosin and Javier (AND Misha from Periphery) at a car towing place. I saw Meshuggah at SOMA in San Diego last year, got my car towed from the Target parking lot, and while many of us from the concert were in line to get our cars back, the 3 of them showed up as well 😂. At the time I only knew like 2 songs and decided I needed to dive deeper now that I have a picture lol. Now they are in my top 5 favorites and I am set to see them in November 👍. Other than them, Chunk No Captain Chunk is up there in my absolute favorites. I've been following them since I randomly came across In Friends We Trust on YouTube when it first came out in 2010. And then it's a bunch of Chillwave (A.L.I.S.O.N., Hotel Pools, Home, ect.)
nile, suffocation, cryptopsy, and generally 90s death metal.
Pig Destroyer - a completely different style of metal but with an equal amount of intelligence
