## Summary

Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects is essentially a solo project from the Meshuggah guitarist, though he's worked with other musicians like Mattias Olsson on drums and Jens Bogren on bass. The music is experimental and dissonant, built around unconventional time signatures and polyrhythms that can feel disorienting. It's not exactly easy listening. They've put out a handful of albums since 2004, including 'Sol Niger Within' and '...Och Stjarnans Namn Var Malört'...
