I'm so proud of you my guy, not everyone can enjoy Meshuggah on their first go around. That's dope.

[@noonespecial236]

My sentiments exactly. Particularly when he started out hardmode with Clockworks.

[@majones117]

I sure as fuck didn't lol I had to listen to Bleed like 4 times because everytime something new made me give it another try

[@jommywop]

The only problem I had was the growly vocals. Once i warmed up to those I was all-in

[@atthecore4560]

@@jommywop Everyone who has a problem with Extreme Metal all comes down to the vocals. I totally get it, but my only question is; what kind of clean vocals would make this music more agreeable to people who don't appreciate distorted vocals? It's the biggest challenge I've encountered when introducing this style of Music. Clean vocals don't always fit with some of these sounds, so it's like, how do I make this more acceptable? The answer isn't clear.

[@jommywop]

@@atthecore4560 I don't think clean vocals would work for most of the music. It just took me awhile to warm up to the growls. I wouldn't change anything. Not everyone is going to be into it. That's ok. I'm not into jazz. I don't wish jazz would change just so I can enjoy it. It wouldn't be jazz anymore. As for what kind of clean vocals might work if you had to try... maybe Maynard from Tool?

[@BlackConnection337]

Clockworks is more like an event, than a song. Amazing that 4 musicians can create all that sound.

[@eyemoeba]

i agree. i see a lot of their songs as feats of engineering in the same way i would marvel at say an impressive viaduct or suspension bridge.

[@mahockey3]

Going straight into Meshuggah is like playing Dark Souls with no video game experience. And you slayed that shit. This is awesome.

[@atthecore4560]

SUCH A GREAT REFERENCE! Dark Souls is completely the video game interpretation of Meshuggah. You have to be prepared for the insanity.

[@jakedemolisher5032]

You're like me then. We like to make people feel awkward XD

[@steezydan8543]

Yeah I had 3 of my friends in the car going to Montreal and we were in a terrible snow storm the whole way up, took us an extra hour to get there. Went through a bunch of bands like Between The Buried And Me and Protest The Hero, but when I put on "Obzen" everybody shut up. I think people have a hard time thinking when there's complicated music going on, like you can see them stutter when their speech doesn't line up with the music. Tl:dr get gud

Well, i gotta say you took that like a pro metalhead. It takes a special kind of mind to even like this metal, it´s complex as hell but heavy as led. Welcome to the metalhead club dude!! ;) (This band makes me proud to be a swede.)

Is there something in the water that gives swedes metal super powers? Meshuggah, Amon Amrath, Opeth....

You're the only one I've seen react to Meshuggah properly, in my opinion. You can't "get" them by just listening to one song. You listened to THREE back to back. Major props. Fucking SOLID video man

brave man stepping into the Mesh. it's the soundtrack to a brutal, psychopathic beating. father's of a musical movement called Djent, total polyrhythmic insanity! even though it's chaotic there's a hynotic quality to it

[@mattnsim]

Loved your reactions to the songs. And you’re correct in noticing Thomas Haake’s incredible drumming skill. He’s quite the legend. As a side note, he didn’t even start out playing drums in the band. I believe he took it up early on after he joined.

[@jackcafarella1062]

Prog (Progressive) rock/metal is all about the musical journey and letting the instruments speak. Great to see you really feeling it this ain’t no intermediate level band even many metalheads struggle with this stuff. 👍

[@AtticsTV]

This song is one of the most difficult to get down for anyone. The pattern seems simple, but not only is it SUPER fast, but it constantly changes up in subtle ways.

[@jordand431]

Hell yeah man, catch those hi-hats!! The nature of the drums and rhythm section of this style of metal is GROOVY and once you catch the groove you can't let it go. Great reaction man, this band is a treat to metalheads and non-metalheads alike.

[@jdkropff]

Seen them live twice. Once opening up for Ministry and the second was them headlining. Headline show, I cracked three ribs and fractured my leg in the pit. Didn't realize it till the next morning. I remember hitting the bathroom and dudes lined up to clean blood off their faces. Shit was madness.

[@heavenwithin81]

It has that beautiful, trance-like, atmospheric, experimental vibe that I look for in metal. Great stuff man.

Demiurge is probably going to be my favorite forever. It’s them concussive blasts on that snare syncopated with the riff that gets me head banging every time.

[@BirdNoise77]

Shoulda gone for Tomas Hakke's drum playthroughs, you'll really appreciate his raw unbridled skill when you see those. Also, you're both right and wrong about the lyrics. Sure, sometimes the lyrics themselves aren't the actual focus (like meshuggah) but with a lot of bands, if you actually bother to decipher them, they're very well written. There is also plenty of metal where the lyrics take the forefront and the music, no matter the technicality and musicality (like tool) provides a backdrop.

[@VirgoKing89]

And Tomas Haake writes the lyrics as well. 👍🏽

[@jacksmith4460]

this band all about the rhythmn interplay between guitar and drums

[@IronMetal]

That drummer is a fucking beast

[@coffeeandbytes9854]

Your comments on metal being an experience are exactly right: the vocals are just one of several instruments at work, and form part of the overall tapestry of sound. If you want to know the lyrics, awesome, grab them and read along. If not, that's fine, too.

[@eyemoeba]

'and what type of diet you on' haha they have been mining for this stuff for a good few years now, the only way to get to this level, and with such an uncompromising sound. the Tomas Haake drum playthrough videos are amazing of Bleed and Clockworks, well worth a watch.

[@christophersessions3375]

You get it exactly. The words are to be discovered. The moment is what matters. Feeling it all wash over you, like when I played HS football. Yeah, there was a game plan, but what mattered to me was the rush of the snap, getting off the line and that first hit.

[@jacksmith4460]

You need some Tool bro, I suggest "46 & 2" and "Eulogy" as a starting point and maybe "Schism" , they were influenced very heavily by meshuggah, but are much more melodic, think Meshuggah meets Pink Floyd they have similar vibe in videos as well though , so you may wanna check lyric videos if you wanna get some sleep.

[@ruofhatem]

Don't think they were influenced by Meshuggah, moreso King Crimson and Pink Floyd

[@jacksmith4460]

@@ruofhatem Nah they were heavily influenced by Meshuggah, its one of the reasons they went into polyrhythmns so much Floyd and KC and even ZEp too regards classic (and im sure lots of other stuff) but defo big into Meshuggah (who have been going for ages)

[@atthecore4560]

Tool are the Rock version of Meshuggah. It's a downgrade to us lovers of Extreme Metal.

[@jommywop]

@@atthecore4560 Tool are Tool bud. There may be influences but Tool do their own thing. I'm not going argue about who's better. Tool are definitely not "the rock version of Meshuggah" though. That's a pile of crap.

[@atthecore4560]

@@jommywop Energy is energy. It's not about better or worse. It's about intention and energy. Meshuggah and Tool seek to create our shared interaction and interpretation with the energy of the depths of inner workings. They both touch and draw from the same pool of knowledge and energy. Why would you doubt that?

[@tobydude100]

Love that you checked out Meshuggah They are one of my favourite bands along side Lamb Of God, so that is my request to you my man, check out Lamb Of God if you get the chance! Respect from The UK!

[@JackedBlack88]

Yesssssss. Listen to "Walk with me in Hell"!!!!

[@RADIOACTIVEBUNY]

One thing you gotta understand about the rhythms with Meshuggah is that they are STAGGERINGLY advanced. You'll notice that each song has a sort of odd "feel" to it, almost random, but it still makes sense. And depending on where you put your attention you get something different. That's from the fact that there's anywhere from 2 to like 5 different rhythmic paces intertwined and overlapped in each song, and it gives this feeling of you just BARELY being able to call it "orderly". It's some next level shit in that regard. Watching videos of the drummer playing really highlights just how bizarre it all is. You can visually watch him do things that seem like they don't make sense rhythmically, but sure enough it all checks out in that your reaction to it isn't the same as watching two people clap out of sync with a song.

[@uoabigaillevey]

The music video for Bleed had several visual elements which may need some explaining. Firstly, the song is about having an aneurysm. The video is an imagination of the transformation from life to death. The lady with the red twine that you were curious about is one of the three 'Fates' from mythology.. don't remember her name.. but she is the one that measures the thread of ones life.. and when she reaches the point where she cuts the thread.. you die. I am paraphrasing there as it has been sooo many years since I was in school learning this kinda stuff. I also take no credit in deciphering this information from the video, as it is information I have garnered from other reaction comment section for this song. Just relaying the information for ya to better understand what is going on in the video. Peace

[@kristophertibbets5986]

Oh we most certainly enjoy the lyrics. Believe it or not the old school guys like myself can understand a bunch of this stuff without reading the lyrics. It’s just an ear thing we trained ourselves with since the late 80s and 90s

[@Fez135]

Meshuggah are about the rhythmic work. Like a machine that just won't stop. My neck was more jacked up after a Meshuggah gig than any other I've been to, it's like this but for about an hour and a half with only a few minutes interlude.

[@plantdesigns7889]

It's funny though. They are so heavy yet at the same time hypnotic and almost trance inducing.

[@kevinlee6003]

Wow, the Bleed musing video is a nightmare in its own category... I showed that to my lizard, and it became a dragon.

[@tezas87]

Since you asked how one comes up with this, Bleed is about someone experiencing a brain aneurysm and bleeding out in his head, the woman with the red thread is a representation of one of the three fates in ancient Greek mythology, weaving the thread of one's life until it's cut.

[@krisrhebergen]

The drum cam video for clockworks is a must.

[@devili7y585]

Nice video man, i really appreciate the fact that you listened to those 3 songs !! Thank you so much !!!

[@Astral0muffiN]

The lyrics are actually pretty under-rated when it comes to Meshuggah. While often quite surface level in terms of what is being depicted, the verbiage is so out there and once you get into it, it really contributes to the overall feeling of the tracks. Oppressive and morbidly fascinating. You should try some of their more groove oriented tracks like Beneath or Straws Pulled at Random. Across their discography there are quite a plethora of different styles they have gone through.

[@RealBigTinyTimTim]

Tomas Haake, the drummer for Messhugah, actually had to "re-learn" how to play drums because of Bleed. If you're interested in checking it out there's a video out there of him playing Bleed live, and it's absolutely incredible seeing him do his thing

Jeez dude youre a hero for jumping straight into Meshuggah. I respect it. Ive listened to them for over a decade now and i still get caught off by their stuff. Glad to see people get exposed to it and have a good time. Once you get past the initial shock you start to pick apart and discover things you never noticed during the first play. If youre looking for a way to describe them i always feel like their music is an extremely dangerous beastlike creature lurking in the darkness. It sounds so vicious and inhuman.

The most interesting thing about death metal is the 🐐 Glenn Benton (the band is called Deicide) is the most brutal of all, yet he enunciates better than all of them. Check out a song called Believe the Lie. It’s on the Serpents Of The Light Album. WARNING: his lyrics are always blasphemous and or Satanic. Some of us don’t prescribe to the message completely. But there are a lot of truths in his perception of religion. If you want one a little slower check out Worst Enemy, it’s on the album called incineratehymn. If you want to nail their tone on the guitar you have to use all downstrokes or trem picking. No upstrokes, no alternate, no hybrid. Your basically need to lift weights to play what they do!😂🤘🔥🤘
