Meathole is an album by Canadian breakcore artist Venetian Snares, released on August 22, 2005, on the label Planet Mu.
Unlike his previous album Rossz Csillag Alatt Született, which is strongly classic-inspired, this album is more influenced by jazz and blues with a dark and chaotic mood, best example being the track "Aamelotasis". The sound is also far less subtle, with Venetian Snares' trademark complicated drum patterns that seem to get louder and more extreme towards the end of each song, best heard on "Choprite" and even more so on "Szycag". The song "Aaperture" features heavily distorted samples from the movie One Hour Photo starring Robin Williams.
