This was f****** awesome!

[@vikhaedan]

Fredrik Thordendahl is one of the best gitarrists for me, his powerful playing and the solos influenced with all from Jazz to just genius creativity, and a superb human to that... Meshuggah is the pride of our small city of Sweden..

[@DrumlionMusic]

love this!

[@kloggmonkey]

don't know what it is with ume but they've got too many bands to count for such a small northern town

[@vikhaedan]

@@kloggmonkey True, must be something i missed myself, i just managed to learn 4 chords and realized that i'm not one of them :P

[@progperljungman8218]

True. His main audible influence is def the prog/fusion guitarist Alan Holdsworth (R.I.P)

[@TemalCageman]

When did Sweden become a City? Replace "of" with "in" and it makes more sense. :D

[@Kenjames10]

"I" by Meshuggah is a good one. 21-minute mind-bending masterpiece. Probably the most impressive piece of music composition I've heard so highly recommend doing a reaction to that!

[@christopherstumbers5906]

That bridge...with the airy dissonant guitar and the jazzy rim strikes, into that tension-building section with the pounding tribal tom fills, into that straight beat down riff, has to be one the greatest metal moments ever laid down on tape. It just never gets old.

[@csbaucu7761]

It's crazy that the song is almost 30 years old.

[@Imthrashsfu]

From my favorite album of the 1990s. Perfection. An innovative metal masterpiece. The flagship of an entire genre from which no other influenced album has ever equaled or surpassed. Thanks for the reaction!

[@02SplinterCell02]

Meshuggah - The Hurt That Finds You First live from Summer Breeze 2019 will give you an anxiety attack from the light show alone.

[@WebsterA]

Came for the Meshuggah. Checked out the Maniacult cover right when ya said it though. No idea who they were or what to expect. Fucking tight, man. You kill that shit!! That's ridiculously fast. Gives me good insight as to your understanding of the drumming world and it's always great to see an actual musician's take on Meshuggah's signature approach! Looking forward to more, sir!

[@DrumlionMusic]

you have no idea how much i appreciate this! i know many people that are here pretty much only watch my reaction videos but the fact that you watched my drum cover means alot because that content is very time consuming and tough to produce. Putting our music is my passion and like you mentioned it shows people that i dont just have "metal drummer reacts" on my thumbnails for show.

[@ET_Brew]

As i entered the metal world only last year, everywhere i look i see Meshuggah and Gojira....i will inevitably get to them once i "mature" further on my metal journey, too complex for now 😆 Great reaction, wish i'd heard more of a breakdown of the drums but great piece and really cool to see you get so into it 🤘🍻

[@hallamalla98]

Great to see another one finally find their way home! What bands/genres do you like the most?

[@DrumlionMusic]

ill do more of a drums breakdown when i do the Clockworks drum playthrough.

[@Egoblivion]

@@DrumlionMusic that one though…oooh-WEee!!! Even if you broke it down well even if this person is saying Gojira is too complex for them then Clockworks will be like quantum astodynamics lol.

[@h.p.dominocus]

7:58 Ive heard this section probably thousands of times since I first heard the song on the radio in 1996. It still gets me psyched after all this time. Great reaction video! Subscribed

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

Yogev Gabay has a great yt channel where he's defined meshuggah timing using classical Indian notation etc.

[@DrumlionMusic]

ill check him out. and see how he explains things

[@benluna6158]

Love this band dude!!! Seen them live 5 times 😂

[@DrumlionMusic]

damn 5 times?! that's awesome!

[@austinmichael7547]

I’m freakin jealous

[@progperljungman8218]

Only three here - although beeing a fan since the release of Catch Thirtythree

[@imferal273]

Going to watch them in a week. I’m not less pumped about that now.

[@ericdravenX00X]

From the album Destroy Erase Improve released in 95' a band ahead of their time.. The bands from back in this era of Metal were Not doing anything like this. I have nothing to say other than that honestly.. Great choice to react to man.💀🤘

[@Simon5ez]

Meshuggah is my favorite band of all time- also, God bless you Patriot- great videos

[@Simon5ez]

Also, if you can, I recommend you try reading Meshuggah's lyrics while listening- I would say it is half of the experience.

[@DrumlionMusic]

sounds like a good plan to execute next time!

[@barleymepodcast2301]

I love that one of the first band-centric things you point out was how crunchy the bass is. I especially love it because there was, for some reason, an entire faction of metal/Meshuggah fans who thought there was no bassist… like, bro, what are you even listening to to think they might not have a bassist?

[@DrumlionMusic]

Haha right! The bass' presence is definitely felt for sure!

[@jbm0866]

I've heard people say that before and I'm like bro...watch a live video

[@JeffWheezingGrampusGoddard]

My favourite track from my favourite Meshuggah Album. This blew my mind in the mid 90s!

[@adamhenton6221]

Ohhh I love me some Meshuggah!!! Just saw them live back in September. They were amazing! 🤘 I was front row the whole show

[@DrumlionMusic]

you lucky bastard!

[@adamhenton6221]

@@DrumlionMusic I'll send you some videos on messenger

[@Flugmorph]

love the edits around 7:00 inspired by the video itself lol very vibey

[@diablovarulf6568]

Awesome live performance and awesome reaction... Still licking my chops in expectation for Tomas' drum playthrough of Clockworks and your reaction as a fellow skin pulverizer 😎

[@DrumlionMusic]

I got you! coming soon for sure

[@clmannheimer]

And that bass player plays those cool Warwick basses :)

[@floofthefops]

I saw meshuggah live a few months ago and was pretty sad they didn't play this song, because them playing it live now is the craziest thing. But then everyone wanted an encore... Sure enough, it was this song that I've wanted in person for so long. To say it was the best song and experience of my life would be putting it lightly, it was fucking amazing. Best band I've seen live so far, everything sounded exactly like the album and it blew my mind. Also, you said something about the method they recorded. On their second to last album "The Violent Sleep of Reason" everything was a "live" studio recording. It made for one of the best flowing and vibing albums I've ever heard, it's honestly crazy...

[@DrumlionMusic]

this is an awesome fucking story my friend!

[@floofthefops]

@@DrumlionMusic great reaction tho dude, your vibes were so contagious and I loved it. Here's a link to probably the best recorded meshuggah concert I know of incase u interested, quality is absolutely insane good. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4S2gKSCjp2UZ80 I highly recommend listening to the future breed machine they did at this concert, it sounds so different from how it used to.

[@floofthefops]

@@DrumlionMusic I accidently just asked for a video you already reacted to by Kevin paradis. So I'll leave this link of Dan Watson, the original vocalist of infant ahhnilator and enterprise earth. He is one of my top 2 vocalist. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6Sch4iAe9mba6c Ya got a new sub btw, ur vibes are too good, keep it going dude.

[@DrumlionMusic]

Appreciate this!

[@IndigoRoses7]

Meshuggah has been one of my favorite bands for the past 13 years. They were SO ahead of their time it's ridiculous. If you listen to their very early shows while they were still in Sweden, they do sound the same..just tightened everything up beautifully.

[@Salomon_G]

Fredrik the lead guitarist shared lead vocals duties on their first album Contradictions Collapse. Him and Jens (who played rhythm guitar at the time) would completely switch lead vocals from song to song.

[@philbeaumont9339]

YAy good to see you back again :) hope you're well. This was a great reaction that was chunky delight, I will add that the bass being so prominent is a minor miracle of mixing bearing in mind they have 8 string guitars. They are an absolute powerfouse.

[@Khazandar]

Yes, but they're aren't using them for this song. They started using 8 string guitars on "Nothing". Up until then it was 7 strings :3

[@SonderCreationStudios]

Dude I fucking LOVE your commentary! When you say the things you do I'm always like "FUCKING YES THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I THINK OF IT!" Haha. Especially with this video. Great content! Meshuggah is a god damn machine. Literally one of the only bands I've never been able to accurately figure out time wise.

[@Chicago-Sparky]

I wish I could understand the lyrics better, but they have terrific rhythm and guitars. I’ll definitely need to follow them more. Thanks for the introduction!

[@thehairygull]

Oh shit if that’s your intro you are in for a ride, Meshuggah has some of the best lyrical content to match the crazy musicianship

[@DrumlionMusic]

ill get into the lyrics on the next one

[@tjbay13]

Glad you're digging deeper into Meshuggah. At some point now you need to go listen to the studio version. Anyways, you got a lot of ground to cover with this band. Have fun falling into that rabbit hole! This band has a way of completely changing your perspective no matter how long you've been listening to and/or playing music. They tend to have a profound effect on musicians.

[@bryanst.germain4963]

awesome!.your my new favorite drum reaction youtube guy,👊 pound !

[@DrumlionMusic]

I hugely appreciate this!

[@astrowolf04]

Fun Fact: every time they play this song, the solos are different!!!

[@NocturnalTerror]

Such an amazing reaction!

[@johannest3628]

Great reaction video! Awesome. Oh, and dude, your bicep is bigger than my head and I got a big ass head.

[@ITMeCE]

I don't want to make it about race, but I'm loving that more and more races are jumping into metal every day, every hour. Metal brings us all together, and it makes us bang our heads against our will (but not in a bad way, of course). And I'm always here for it.

[@DrumlionMusic]

I definitely don't mind race being brought up in this way. I take this as a positive. There has definitely been some really negative people about it on my channel. (i even made a PSA video on a a short while back). Ive been metalhead for a very long time and i also enjoy seeing people of all races get into it because at the end of the day we are all people, and music is our one truly universal language

[@ITMeCE]

@Drumlion Music I'm happy we have a real community, not a fake one. And I mean that in a sincere way, as for the people being complete assholes to you, fuck em. You're awesome my friend and are welcome with open arms in my opinion. Everyone is 😁

[@DrumlionMusic]

@@ITMeCE Thanks so much for this! Your words mean alot to me

[@josephbrenner2278]

Jens and Fredrik both played guitar and took turns singing in the early days. Then Jens just wanted to focus on one thing in the band so they got Marten to join.

[@Rodrigo_Espejo_B]

You will overcome whatever you are going through. Metal comunity only accepts amazing human beings. You got this bro.

[@DrumlionMusic]

I appreciate this so much!

[@fluke29a]

If you're still looking for some left field songs, I still love "Spasm" from "Nothing", got the original album back in the day and it's such a great connection between "old" Meshuggah (like here) and "new Meshuggah". That song just draws me in so much that I cannot even say that it's so over the top technical or jazzy, it's just a very well written song. Love your analyses and your focus on the emotional connection because that's what music is about, isn't it? All the love, keep it up!☺

[@DrumlionMusic]

awesome suggestions my friend!

[@vorpalblades]

New Meshugga licks balls.

[@Salz1usTox1cus]

Dude, i like this live version way more than the album version. The guitar is fking disgusting and i love it 🤟🤘

[@DrumlionMusic]

just imagine being there in person!

[@briansimkiss3154]

Hellyeah!! I love this band. Great video

[@mistymorning436]

And let it open your mind. You are so right about that! Love you!

[@DrumlionMusic]

😁

[@mattirwin6015]

more early meshuggah man, love the videos.

[@opart]

On the last tour they played this at the last encore song... with insane red and blue lights strobes it just completely bent the reality... to something unreal. I'd imaging thats what very serious tripping would be like - had to look at my hands to make sure I am still here.

[@DrumlionMusic]

Holy fuck thats awesome lol

[@opart]

@@DrumlionMusic haha, there are couple of videos fo this on youtube, "Meshuggah (full set) Live at Hammerstein Ballroom NYC 18/09/2022" at about 1:20 mark, I think they were saving this light scheme the entire show, as people would have to be carried out with epilepsy otherwise...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@astrowolf04]

ironically, my favorite part of this song is the breakdown/solo. I love it when meshuggah does ambient/jazz stuff

[@Nih1lu5]

Solid video man! If you haven't already, check out some of the album recording documentaries on KZbin. So worth a watch. Get the hear their perspectives from each member. One thing I remember one saying was they write music more scientifically than emotionally. Easily one of my top bands. Tomas is just brutal. Loving the content!

[@DrumlionMusic]

thanks so much! and thank you for this great suggestion as well!

[@sbdeluxe2088]

New millennium cyanide christ is a banger too. And the music video is a classic. They memed themselves before memes were a thing

[@DrumlionMusic]

May have to do a reaction to this. I haven't heard that particular track yet I dont think...

[@sbdeluxe2088]

@@DrumlionMusic that'd be awesome🤘🤘🤘

[@dregnar85]

I love older Meshuggah with all the backing vocal parts, dunno why they stopped.

[@felipecampos3045]

dude, meshuggah and gojira are the best metal bands ever

[@BroHurst]

There's a live video of this song from like 96' when it first came out and it funny af watching the crowd during the breakdown. They had no idea what they were hearing. There was maybe one guy headbanging

[@DrumlionMusic]

Lmao! As a band thats gotta be tough to see happen in the crowd. Especially if other crowds go nuts for the same song

[@caffeinated_feline]

Awesome! Watching someone react to meshuggah never gets bored! Also please check out terminal illusions, clockworks, broken cog and dancers to a discordant system 🔥🎧

[@DrumlionMusic]

Clockworks is for sure going to be a reaction video. It was definitely a close second to FBM for requests.

[@yenza123]

Dude these dudes lay the fucking lines.

[@shri081]

Bill burr is a huge fan of these guys….and that made me an even bigger fan of Bill Burr 😁😁

[@riffgroove]

Up until the DEI album, Meshuggah had a ton of really great backing vocals in their songs. Then they suddenly completely abandoned them for some reason. I was always a bit disappointed with that choice.

[@lungfulldrummer8921]

This older footage of meshuggah turned up fairly recently. Quality wise you would think is was filmed last month kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJTWdZtvjpZsfc0

[@apanapandottir205]

I think technically the singer "messes up" just at the end, doing that long scream early. He probably just felt like doing it that way but it's fun to think of it as a little slip up in an otherwise flawless performance 😇

[@stewartwilliams144]

I got hammered with the drummer of Entombed , we were very lucky to play with them. I asked him how tight messhugah were as this song and album are pivotal as an influence. He says, they will kill you lol😅

[@tayloralexis1504]

WOW!!!!!! Freaking awesome!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👊👊👊🤘🤘🤟🤟🔥🔥

[@DrumlionMusic]

thanks friend!

[@23ograin53]

According to the band it's all in 4/4 with polymeters. Parts of their first album sound like some odd signature though, back when they were still playing thrash (meshuggah style).

[@thegr8kacpi]

Id revisit it - in current rendition. They slowed it down it gained another dimension of heavyness, LOVE it in the current way

[@nikjohnson9944]

Check out the album "I"...by them... Ok ts super gnarly.... Won't disappoint...

[@Kenjames10]

21-minute mind-bending masterpiece. Probably the most impressive piece of music composition I've heard so highly recommend doing a reaction to that!

[@fraglimat]

Now react to futile bread machine. :P Also the guitarist is very inspired by the jazz guitarist Allan Holdsworth, you especially notice it in the softer solos, and some of his solo stuff.

[@zarkokaradzin5380]

no doubt about it!

[@loubser921]

7:52 😮😮. Imagine being there..

[@IndigoRoses7]

The live version of In Life is Death/In Death is Death from this very same concert is a true masterpiece. One of the heaviest things on the planet..I think I like it better than the studio version. The editing footage on this concert should come with a seizure warning though lol it's all over the place, but it does fit the sound

[@thqp]

Pravus live is also very badass!

[@astrowolf04]

My favorite meshuggah albums are Koloss, followed by Nothing, Immutable, ObZen and Violent Sleep of Reason. I'd LOVE for you to react to Behind the Sun, it's my favorite track of theirs!! My suggestions would be Straws Pulled at Random, Ritual, Lethargica, The Demon's Name is Surveillance, Phantoms, Marrow, Rational Gaze and Sublevels.
