Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects - Sol Niger Within, Version 3.33 (1999)

Fredrik Thordendal (born February 11, 1970) is the lead guitarist and a founding member of the swedish metal band Meshuggah.

Under the name Fredrik Thordendal’s Special Defects, Thordendal released his first and only solo album in 1997 titled “Sol Niger Within” with Ultimate Audio Entertainment. The album featured Tomas Haake (drummer of Meshuggah ) on “spoken vocals”, as well as Morgan Ågren on drumkit and Mats Öberg on keyboards, who both have played for “Mats and Morgan” and ” Frank Zappa “.
