[@ghostysgambit4600]

Watch meshugga- bleed drummer then. Took him 9 month to get it down for that one song.

[@mson925]

I mean considering everything it’s not that hard of a song, it’s mainly the memorization of the which thing to hit at what time. The time signatures aren’t that odd so once you listen to the song enough it’s pretty easy to get down. I can play a decent cover of it and I barely play drums, I’m just a guitarist. Not to say that the drummer isn’t good because he’s actually insane just this song isn’t the greatest example.

[@ConnorArbiter]

This song and my life are exactly the same: 0:00 Takes a while to get going in the morning, 0:09 erupts into frantic, off-kilter confusion immediately, 0:34 falls into various self-defeating patterns which contradict their own rhythm while trying to maintain forward motion, 1:29 takes a pause halfway through to try to fuse confused neurosis into a basis for something remotely pleasant to anyone and fails 2:22 gives up completely and has breakdown, 2:31 tries to keep calm during breakdown, 2:40 fails... 3:00 Tries to start back up but erratic thoughts unravel and mutate in spite of the need to continue existing properly, 3:25 tries to keep calm during arrhythmic chaos again, 3:46 takes another break to devise own rhythm based on nothing measurable by human standards, 4:01 then grooves with it, suddenly quite content with self after realizing not every song is a top 40 hit, 4:32 while riding off into the sunset, knowing only about 10 people ever understood me or would ever want to listen to me again.

[@shadowless4071]

That's actually very accurate. And to be honest, i'm getting same feelings listening to this song.

[@bad_teeth]

why the fuck aint this top comment tho

cus my other comment is lol

This is the secret that the song has hidden within itself 😱😱😱🔥🔥🔥

[@ConnorArbiter]

0:00 They're tryin to build a prison......

for you and me?

[@paveantelic7876]

imagine waking up every day knowing you can make music like this..

[@user-eo1rm3eb6c]

That riffy section at 1:29 is fucking unbelievable. It just sounds like it's melting. I'm not entirely convinced it isn't just the same chord played repeatedly while being pitch shifted.

[@depresseddude12]

Matthew Mohr definitely one of the best bits of the song. So nasty and tasty.

[@enjoybassmusic]

They're playing notes that are located between the twelve ones we are used to. That's why you have that "out of tune" or melting feeling. I love how it feels haha

[@jikalope230]

That’s what dragged me into loving this band

[@GrapeFlavoredAntifreeze]

It sounds like the math rock machine malfunctioning, I fucking love it

[@-LTUIiiin]

Sounds like a shoegazey tone. It feels like some phaser-chorus fuckery. Also, the the part that comes after it sounds like alice in chains

[@TheRealXenosapien]

I love watching people TRY to headbang for these guys.

[@justinkroboth360]

Yeah, that's a battle you're not going to win, hah.

[@atrocious_pr0xy]

I saw The Locust play and people tried to start moshing and hardcore dancing and then they were like "what the fuck is going on?!" And literally everyone just stopped and started watching the show... Side note: Dillinger headlined that night... sickest show I ever seent.

[@kaylaisnothere4397]

I just pay attention to the drum rhythm. I have to actively think about the time signature when I headbang to Car Bomb lol.

[@skinblanketed]

@@atrocious_pr0xy I SAW THAT TOUR IN TALLAHASSEE! My friends and I knew nothing about The Locust and our jaws remained on the floor throughout their set. There was no movement. Everyone was just gawking at the stage. One of my favorite memories from going to shows in high school.

[@atrocious_pr0xy]

@@skinblanketed ..eh, wasn't there this 2-piece band; drummer and guitarist.. can't remember their names. They were amazing. No singing, just metal.

[@kenricdurst6264]

If the grammy's were up to me this album would definitely get some nominations

[@poluxgonzalez3631]

It surprises me how you are cataloging Car Bomb as humans.

[@walterworrall]

give em an Oscar and a purple heart while you are at it.

[@AdamDallas]

The Meta album, for me, is like Meshuggah's Destroy Erase Improve but for this decade. If Meshuggah had continued on that wave they started in 1995, this would have been the result! Happy to have found this album.

[@alvaro.makes.music1]

1:28 sounds so beautiful... I did not expect it, I think it gives a cool flavour to the song

[@andresruval]

I keep replaying that bit over and over again hahah

[@DannyPhilipsen]

I was lucky enough to see Car Bomb live with Gojira. Easily one of my favourite warm-up bands ever! Heavy, tight and fucking amazing!

[@fullawful130]

Gojira should have been the warm-up lmao

[@maximilian_garay]

I bet car bomb rehearse with gojira songs

[@mpk33]

Two phenomenal drummers.

[@VildhjartaFanGurl]

Car bomb, tesseract, and gojira. Best show I've ever seen. Only out of body experience I've had without the use of psychedelics.

[@jamesmoffat885]

That rhythm though..2:21 1 12 123 1234 123456

[@NicolasPL_]

LOL

[@HoopyFroodood]

I think the last bit is seven. Either way, you win just for making me aware of that ...rhythm? [Edit]: Ooh, I'm noticing other stuff too. There's what I think is a 1 123 123456 after the first 1 12 123 1234 1234567

[@NicolasPL_]

@@HoopyFroodood no, is the same pattern (12346), but the last pattern only have the 1. So it's like this 1 12 123 1234 12346 1 (finish) That's why you say is a 7 :P

[@HoopyFroodood]

@@NicolasPL_ Well there's no space after that 6, it's just a steady string of notes. But I can see that last one possibly being the first 1 of the next set. So maybe that's what's going on. Either way, when it gets to this point I think its kind of subjective. Like how time signatures can be read differently depending on how you divide them.

[@81toalza]

Aphex twin had a similar track. I think it was called the bouncing ball. As that’s what it sounds like.

[@marcschelz]

Most people probably can't listen to this band but they definitely need way more exposure. The fact that they dare to make such music in this day and age and at this level of technicality deserves respect. But they are also not doing a very grad job of using their social media stuff :)

[@jonajon91]

This day and age? Car bomb have been going for liek 15 years.

[@thescharfchannel]

I found these guys through myspace back in the days. Same thing with I wish they would self-promote more.

[@Krimson5pride]

They have regular jobs (all members are involved in STEM jobs). They can't manage full time, but on the brighter side, this gives them freedom to experiment as much as they want. Also, these guys build their own gears from scratch.

[@adonisx-.-.790]

You guys created something special. A style from the future for metal, I just call it metal for all the subgenres in the scene This is way beyond this current time... With the influence from bands. This continues to last And destroy.

[@Maniahg]

Preach

[@justinkroboth360]

1:29 hits and I think to myself "welp, there go the headphones". Fucking crazy.

[@snapdeus]

the outro crushes - so much confidence to put a groove that sick on the fadeout

[@saltedfish3724]

3:11 This scratches that particular spot in my brain soooo goooood

[@dmytrotsvyntarnyi799]

I love how they change the feel of the final riff by changing the backbeat only

[@GarryLarryBarry]

0:48 That guitar tone, sounds like Neurofunk.

[@OysterWallace]

oh fuck yeah gimme that grimy diystopian VSN records/methlab records dystopian DNB shit

[@ethtt]

Bob_Dole Didn't know there was ANYONE out there who listened to Dnb and metal. I think Noisia was heavily influenced by metal, probably Meshuggah.

[@OysterWallace]

EthT big crossover since it's aggressive high energy electronically-distorted music, but I can see why some fans of one wouldn't be fans of the other. i was big into the Lifted Music podcast and dnbradio.com IRC chat before getting into metal. and recently I found the label Methlab who have a bunch of cool stuff.

[@ethtt]

prosthesis_ Definitely, but I think DnB is very repetition based and is based on pure groove, if you know what I mean. It was a bit hard for me to appreciate metal at first because of the long, complex patterns.

[@ImmortalPush]

Big noisia fan here! or any hevy dnb track for that matter. Even saw noisia invites with camo and crooked. Good shit man

[@seansalmon1977]

They should have played this for the aliens in Arrival. They'd have flown home immediately in fear and awe.

[@atrocious_pr0xy]

0:54 and 2:22 .. it always takes me so long to listen to one of y'all's songs because I keep having to rewind while trying to keep my face from melting..

[@krenwregget7667]

I always tell people Carbomb is the best band they've never heard of. Which is a shame because these guys should get WAY more recognition than they currently do.

[@02SplinterCell02]

Mordial is widely regarded as their best album, but I feel this one is WAY better

[@SunsetAlgorithm]

The mix on this album is amazing. Sounds great with a beefy sub and reasonably good component speakers. Nothing is muddy, everything sounds tight and precise, incredible tone and ofcourse those unmistakable lyrics.
