Artist: FREDRIK THORDENDAHLs SPECIAL DEFECTS [MESHUGGAH]
Album: SOL NIGER WITHIN REMASTERED (DIGI)

Year: 1997/ 2010
Media type: CD

The name Fredrik Thordendal is well known to all fans of Meshuggah – one of the most inspiring technical metal bands ever to emerge on the scene. Fredrik was one of the founders of the group and contributed greatly to its enormous success. In 1997 he took some time off from Meshuggah and concentrated on a solo project which he called Fredrik Thordendal’s Special Defects. Under that flag he released the album “Sol Niger Within” – a frantic, yet fascinating outpouring of musical dementia. The album met with a very good reception among metal fans, however many people found it difficult to truly comprehend this material. Packed with gritty ideas and complex instrumental passages (including church organ and saxophone bits), the LP proved to be one of the most avant-garde metal releases ever to emerge on the metal scene… The new digipak edition of the album is limited to 2000 copies. Remastered using tube technology, digitally edited on a golden disc.
