Chaosphere is the third album by Swedish metal band Meshuggah. It was released on November 10, 1998 by Nuclear Blast. The 9-track promotion cardsleeve CD of the album features a track that is not included on the regular album. The track is called "Unanything" at 3 minutes, listed as track #6. This song is also found on the Japanese pressing as track #9.
Chaosphere's sound is largely a combination of the thrash style of the band's previous releases and the crushing technicality that they would further explore on subsequent albums, such as 2002's Nothing. The second track, "New Millennium Cyanide Christ", is one of the band's most well-known songs and is a fan favorite, and a video was filmed for just that song.
This album is considered to be Meshuggah's most intense album they have recorded so far as it is mostly atonal through the entire album's duration and does not carry the jazz fusion elements shown on their previous album with the exception of the guitar solos.
