Contradictions Collapse

Contradictions Collapse is the debut studio album by Swedish extreme metal band Meshuggah. It was released on 1 May 1991 by Nuclear Blast. Contradictions Collapse was originally titled (All This Because of) Greed. The album leans more towards a thrash metal sound than the band's later works, featuring heavy riffs and influences of Jazz fusion, as well as industrial dance in the drum patterns. It was re-released as a digipak with an incomplete version of Meshuggah's second EP, None, in 1998, with no liner notes or lyrics included in the booklet. It is the only album to feature Jens Kidman on rhythm guitar, as well as Fredrik Thordendal on lead vocals in some tracks.
