  • The meaning of the word stengah would be good to know. Whisky and soda? It seems a little out of character for meshuggah. Se tengah is one half, which is a little better.
    • Stengah means syringe. 3H 18:20, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Original recorded with custom Nevborn 7-strings

I saw it mentioned in a review somewhere, and I checked here after looking thoroughly through both versions of the album that I have, and checked the band's website. I checked here, and attempted to find a source to prove it. I couldn't find the two resources I checked first and a great deal of searching the band's forums. This can cause a lot of problems with pretty much any listener dealing with the album. I can't think of any other sources anywhere near as viable as those three, but maybe I missed something, and maybe there's something I didn't think of. But given the issues the article has already caused, that one claim really needs to be proved or refuted. Factual inaccuracy spreads to some degree or another.

What I did find on the forums however was an interview with Tomas Haake in which he said "...we did a few mistakes in the past, as most bands have, like with the 'Chaosphere' album, we accepted the SLAYER tour so we had to rush the recording and the production suffered from it, I think. And the same thing for the 'Nothing' album. We would have needed at least another three months for that album and when we had already gone into the studio for the recording, we got the offer to play Ozzfest and we accepted. But the album suffered from it, I think, especially production-wise. We had to rush it real bad. We just didn't have any time for anything, not to even reflect on what we were doing. We recorded the vocals in like seven days and for 'Chaosphere'." - http://www.tandjent.com/meshforum/viewtopic.php?t=12817

So that's all I could really find out. Let's see if there's more to find.

Well, according to these guys at Meshuggah's forum, Nothing showcased the 8 strings:

They discuss it like it's a given fact, and even have it down to the exact tunings. I think we should trust them. 69.37.75.171 23:47, 18 January 2007 (UTC)


7-string Nevborns were used, the 8s weren't done back then. This thread states this, with questions answered by Fredrik Thordendal. http://www.tandjent.com/meshforum/viewtopic.php?t=3441 80.202.252.56 08:53, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

R3tex 3:09, 19 January (UTC) OK... for all the people that are confused about the 7/8 string thing and put their best guesses on this page. Fredrik himself has the info (about halfway down the page): http://www.tandjent.com/meshforum/viewtopic.php?t=3073&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=line++pod+pro&start=20
