Meshuggah
In May 1998, the band said that their next album would be named Chaosphere. Meshuggah recorded music for the album in May and June. The band went on a tour in the United States. They released the album in November 1998. Chaosphere had less thrash metal music on it. This was because the band wanted to make groovier music. In early 1999, Meshuggah went with Slayer on an American tour.
