The band has released nine studio albums, six EPs, and eight music videos, with their most recent studio album, "Immutable," released in April 2022 via Atomic Fire Records. Meshuggah is known for its innovative approach to metal, featuring complex polymetered song structures and polyrhythms. They gained recognition as a major act in the extreme underground music scene, developed a cult following, and influenced numerous modern metal bands. Rolling Stone has named them one of the ten most important hard rock and heavy metal bands, while Alternative Press has described them as the most important band in metal. The band has also been cited as a key inspiration for the djent subgenre in the late 2000s.

In 2018, they were nominated for a Grammy Award for "Clockworks" in the Best Metal Performance category.
