"Math metal is a derivative of technical metal, using rhythmically complex, guitar-based style of experimental rock music that emerged in the late 1980s. It is characterized by complex, atypical rhythmic structures (including irregular stopping and starting), angular melodies, breakdowns, and dissonant chords." often played at the "guitar tone made when a two-octave power chord is palm-muted." a specific type of technical metal, just like technical metal is a specific type of metal. all in the ear of the beholder. i find this tag to be quite nifty as progressive and technical metal are much more encompassing.

You do know that Meshuggah has been a band since 1989 right? Tool has only been around since 1991 so Meshuggah is obviously the older and more influential band. Even though it's a small difference it's still worth noting. Both are very influential to prog forms of music but I can name more bands influenced by Meshuggah than Tool.

meateatereater says it best except he forgot the most important pioneers T O O L. Meshuggah yes no denying them all they deserve but, without TOOL and definitely with out the tour with TOOL Meshuggah might not be where they are today. I said might because who really knows? But TOOL started it Danny Carey lives by it and no band can match TOOL on multi departmentalized time signatures. I love Meshuggah and all they give us and yes they were began around the same time as TOOL it just took some time for Meshuggah to get really organized and remain steady as a group which caused alot of OG Meshuggah followers to lose sight of them until the TOOL tour Resurrected them. Spiral Out and eat more meat! Glad you're out there was beginning to think I was the last logical thinking person who understood real music.
