Is Meshuggah the most influential, least commercially successful metal band ever?
Or maybe I should say lowest-charting? The highest a Meshuggah album has ever charted on Billboard is Obzen at #58. Second is "Nothing" at #165.
That being said Meshuggah has their fingerprints are all over a lot modern metal in a lot of different genres IMO. Are there any other bands that are as influential but less commercially successful?
