Under the name Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects, Thordendal released his first, and so far 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 & Morgan" and " Frank Zappa ". The style of music is best described as very a very similar style to Meshuggah's thrashy poly rhythmic Metal with Jazz elements and some obscure noise effects such as high pitched shrieks and screams.
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, most noticeably, the church organs. The Bonus tracks include "Missing Time" and "Ooo Baby Baby".
A second solo album is in the works, with the current Soilwork drummer Dick Verbeuren, but a release date is unknown.

Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Controlled.
Pre-programmed entrapped soul.
Extraneous powers conditions my mind.
I'm vermin. I'm fake.
Causality ignores the persecutory illutions of free will.
Morality justifies no cause.
A genetically conditioned psychomotor machine.
I'm seraph. I'm snake. an evolutionary mistake.
The lyrics of Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects's song The Executive Furies of the Robot Lord of Death speaks about the concept of control and predestination. The first lines, “I'm seraph. I'm snake. Controlled. Pre-programmed entrapped soul,” refer to the singer's feeling of being controlled and trapped. The use of the words "seraph" and "snake" suggests the idea of a serpent or a tempting force that guides or controls the singer's actions.

Robin Hood was a socialist.
I've just discovered this and can't stop listening to it. There's something intangibly genius about it.
