Contradictions Collapse is the debut studio album by Swedish extreme metal band Meshuggah. It was released on 1 May 1991 by Nuclear Blast.[citation needed]
Release history
A promotional cassette of the album was titled (All This Because of) Greed and included Qualms of Reality and We'll Never See the Day.[1]
Four tracks from the None EP were included as bonus tracks on the 1999 reissue,[2] in addition to the 2008 reissue,[3] which was released by Nuclear Blast in 2008 as the Reloaded edition.[2]
Music
The album leans more towards a thrash metal sound than the band's later works,[4] featuring "heavy riffs", as well as "industrial dance in the drum patterns."[5] It is the only album to feature Jens Kidman on rhythm guitar, as well as Fredrik Thordendal on lead vocals in some tracks.
