With four full-lengths, three mini albums and tours with
Machine Head and Slayer behind them, the mighty Meshuggah of Sweden feel ready
to release some rare tracks for their fans to cherish. Except for the
previously unreleased recordings this album also contains the three tracks
from their debut EP "Psykisk Testbild" (something like "Psychological Test
Image") which was released on vinyl only in 1989. As there were only 1000
copies pressed the few lucky owners of it may become a bit angry with their
heroes when they hear about this. Even these old tracks show a band with the
potential to reach the top as they would also come to do even though "Debt Of
Nature" sounds a little bit too much Metallica. It is no coincidence that
Rolling Stone Magazine refers to Meshuggah as "one of the ten most important
hard and heavy bands" because they are simply put an amazing band. Swedish
death metal bands have always been known to break down barriers and while
Therion and Tiamat went their separate ways to create new musical styles,
Meshuggah would be one of the first to successfully mix punk/hardcore
influences with death metal. If you are new to the band "Rare Trax" is
probably not the best album to start off with but old fans would not want to
miss out on this one.
