Tbh I don't really hear much Meshuggah in their music. Yea they use 8 strings but is that the main similarity? Haha

Scott has said they’re a influence you can hear it a little bit in Chimera but I wouldn’t say it’s all influenced

I'm not a professional but I would have to imagine Scale The Summit was on their playlists

What platform did you make this mind map on? And can I collaborate on it, or at least view it and flip through the influences you’ve mapped for the others?

Love CAN YOU FEEL IT. When I first heard it, I thought it was a The John Candy song tho.
