Biography
Fredrik Thordendal (born February 11, 1970) is the lead guitarist and a founding member of the Swedish metal band Meshuggah. Under the Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects moniker, Thordendal released a solo album in 1997 entitled Sol Niger Within with Ultimate Audio Entertainment. The album was remixed and re-released by Ultimate Audio Entertainment and Relapse Records in 1999 under the title Sol Niger Within Version 3.33. The re-release contains two bonus tracks but omits several parts of the original version.
As a guitarist Thordendal draws attention with his clean, flowing, jazz-influenced lead playing and powerful, complex rhythm playing augmented by his use of low-tuned eight-string guitars. Thordendal is also a producer of some note, having produced all of Meshuggah's recent material and also releases for various other bands, France's Fragment among them.
