MESHUGGAH - Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion (Official Music Video)

Taken off the album "Koloss"
Directed by: Owe Lingvall / Village Road Film
This song title is an excerpt from a quote by philosopher, physician, organist, and 1952 Nobel Peace Prize winner Albert Schweitzer: "Revenge... is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion."

Lyrics:
Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion
Tremors, reverberating
Frequency of doom
How strongly the violent thoughts of vengeance echo
Setting in motion the strings of hate.
Shudder
Shudder
Vibrate
This is the soundtrack to our hostility
To our malicious intent
To the pointless grudge forever held
The callow dream
The dismal wish to harm
Animate now
The twisted sounds of our disdain
Our rage
The notations to our contempt
To unforgiveness and loathing
A sonic declaration of spite and resentment
Its resonance grinding to dust our souls
The twine of revenge tightly strung.
Its sub harmonics, the undoing of all
So enticing
The retaliation - chords of man
The all-deafening - Oscillation of the damned
Let forth the hateful, the murderous
Let their malignant prayers resound
The reverberant, odious request
The wish of death abound
So enticing
The retaliation - chords of man
The all-deafening - Oscillation of the damned

[@ChipmunkAsylum]

Here's the truth dudes: there really aren't any bands like them. Very good bands like Meshuggah only come up once in a blue moon, and they're good because they do their own thing, and don't really sound like anyone else. This band is very heavy and technical, but they're not obsessed with being heavy, nor too mathy, fast, or random. They just make stuff that sounds fucking cool. Incredible musicians.

[@mikescanlan4653]

There is nothing technical about what they do. I'm sorry. I learned songs my first year of guitar more technical than Meshuggah songs. This band is a rythmic one, not focused on lead skill and thats fine. I love Meshuggah. But please don't think they're in anyway technical lol

[@ChipmunkAsylum]

Nothing technical? You mean to tell me that you could grab a couple of hacks on their instruments and play Future Breed Machine together no problem? I'd say they're pretty technically sound.

[@mikescanlan4653]

ChipmunkAsylum Since I've been playing music for awhile that revolves around odd meters and poly rhythms and so on and the other "hacks" where also as familiar with it, I would say we could figure it out with ease. It may seem difficult if you're not used to it, but eventually you get used to 9/16 and 3/2s as if they were 4/4. The other bits would take practicing, but thats with any song played by an entire band. Since most of Meshuggah's songs tend to revolve around one riff, once you have that down you are 85% done with the song. The rest would just be building up the stamina of playing that same thing repetitively desperately waiting for something to change in the song. I love meshuggah, but I personally can't stand playing repetition. That would be the hardest part, because it's so easy. Nothing against Meshuggah, the band doesent get together to write difficult music.

[@ChipmunkAsylum]

Alright well if you can play the guitar that's one thing, but if you know a drummer of Haake's ability than kudos to that guy

[@nate3813]

Mike Scanlan there is nothing technical?....so for a man that was at the time playing the drums for at least 20 years having to take 3 months just to learn one song (Bleed) isn't a technical thing to do?

yes. I believe this is totally true. something about the world hurts a bright person with a big heart and can lead them to have a need to aggressively decouple from those feelings in a non violent manner. When it can be done with something as intellectually interesting and as stimulating as Meshuggah, there is a bond there that nothing else will fill. I await the new album with faith. If at first I dont click with some songs, I am sure I will in time. That's the way new good stuff is. That's what it takes to GROW into something better or further in to the advancing complexity of eventual decay.

[@gredangeo]

Listening to Meshuggah leaves the vocals at top priority for liking them. People can't seem to listen them without liking that part first. Always hate/like. A number of bands have more or less a casual singing type. Which means the vocals don't have people divided but the music is, and the singing is left with Neutral or Meh opinions Jens though, really excels when the music is setup for him. When you don't really need or want a lot of vocal melody is the best time for him to be singing.

[@thelombaxsystemtv7492]

That guitar sounds like it's eating the speakers for a living!

[@Madinzi52]

My philosophy professor brought me here

[@iizvullok]

Seems to be a nice guy.

[@f7744dread388]

MaKinzi Wright That's fucking awesome

[@bicboi1930]

whats your professors name so i can rate him/her full stars on ratemyprofessor

[@casperado666]

So.. What do philosophers think of Meshuggah?

[@javisc1999]

lol my philosophy professor likes metal too

[@Nice-music585]

now our kids will never forget what sinews do..see? Metal is Education!

[@Binks-cn6mc]

Education is no relationship with metal ..

[@seangilchrest6091]

If tool was heavy metal, this is what they would sound like...

[@barryjameslent9637]

I don't normally comment on music vids, but when I do it's for the undeniably heaviest fucking band on the planet. Meshuggah is by far the heaviest band on this planet.

[@dmytrotsvyntarnyi799]

Car bomb, Frontierer, *Methwitch* are all quite heavier. Meshuggah is like above-avarage among heavy bands. It's on that level, where many "normies" still can listen to it, and all the other bands I've named are not Edit: not that it's a bad thing

[@jeffhightower8980]

Check out Vildhjarta

[@krispynachos9980]

I don't always listen to Meshuggah but when I do, so do my neighbours

[@MrIllusionEyes]

Ya gotta show your neighbours how it’s done!

[@towertito2149]

Right now I'm playing this loud in my hood while I drink coffee. I live in a place called the "bloody 3rd" so yea only metal around here is mine. They better learn to like it 🤣

[@nobertgrzlytrudel]

😂😂😂😂

[@BR33L]

I think Meshuggah has some of the most unique and easiest to understand vocals in metal.

[@exordiumdeath]

Sounds like you need to listen to thrash metal! Demolition Hammer, Sadus etc etc

[@IICAPTN]

exordiumdeath no...we dont those bands are god awful but thank you. Tune into meshuggah whenever you like though!

[@exordiumdeath]

IICAPTN Sadus puts Meshugga under the table by far.

[@KrisSchwarz98]

Haha, nice pun. Meshuggah is signed to Nuclear Blast Records. XD

[@jordannelson7911]

Best vocalist in metal is Chuck Schuldiner

[@YSantasy]

Do you noticed the dual voice sound that Jens does in the chorus? Two separated notes (the low from gutural, the high from mouth modulation) that come together in the final "DAMNED". The band is a masterpiece.

[@brienmaybe.4415]

I need this

[@EXIx2]

No other form of music out there can compare to the true art and science of metal.

[@Ragnarockalypse]

+Jose Sanchez Have you heard Blotted Science?

[@EXIx2]

I have not! I will look into that, thanks!

[@verzeda]

+Jose Sanchez Have you tried blotters? They go very well with psychadelic djent.

[@toddmaek5436]

your crazy there are multiple forms

[@Nice_Fella]

+Jose Sanchez tip o the fedora to you m'lady

[@davidlee1543]

love the way you can hear the picking in the beginning part. makes it sound dope

[@georgepoveymusic]

David Lee It's tapping you fucknut

[@ai4nlp]

David Lee it is tapping ...

[@Sasquatch33]

​@@ai4nlp No its not you can play it for yourself and it is definitely picked, that's what that clicky metronome sound is in the intro.

[@McFarlaneDragonClan]

I like my coffee like I like my Meshuggah...Black with extra Shuggah

[@omegjonneboy4027]

Gojira and Meshuggah...thats the magic I hear everyday

[@notcrediblesolipsism3851]

Relentless procession, clockwork behemoth, diabolic mechanism

[@goblinspy]

A band like no other. Every last aspect of Meshuggah has a purpose. The dead-pan vocals and almost mechanical rhythm section make it feel as though you're listening to some lifeless behemoth of a machine trudge around. I love it.

[@sam-e-c2788]

This song smashes when you’re pissed

[@freelanceopportunist559]

If you want to turn an infant into a Meshuggah fan, just tell them a dinosaur is on vocals... **use a rubber Trex to illustrate the point for best effectiveness **

[@NickMenzaofficial]

destroying all ! Oscillations of doom. it really doesn't get any heavier than this.... Luv it !

[@AYURBHATTA]

Nick you're the best.

[@martinrff1060]

+NICK MENZA Are you jesus ?

[@ChilisauLP]

It DOES get much heavier than this :D

[@SuperClown133]

+ChiliLP it goes weirder and stranger than this, but not really heavier

[@ChilisauLP]

SuperClown133 I don't like them that much, but I find Black Tongue heavier than this.

[@tyrivera9924]

this is the kind of heavy music that will cause puberty prematurely o.o

[@Daedalus4]

And you sure need it judging by your profile picture.

[@Danielbignuts]

Ty Rivera Buuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[@lamaenfeu9804]

[@p3rs0n42]

techno banana So was mine... hell, she made me cover one of their fucking songs for her college music project and stick it on youtube! Fuck... it's still up! *crying face* I literally can not stand them anymore!

[@gaunten]

p3rs0n42 At first glance I thought it was a picture of KISS and I wondered what you guys were on about. by the way, using Fag as a derogatory in 2014? I wonder who the prepubertals are... After looking up BVB though, yea, they do really suck donkeyballs.

[@-cfh-architector7963]

Marten & Fredrik is Legendary Duo...8 String Power!

[@davidsimpson2560]

This is the song that turned me into a Meshuggah fan. Before this, I was sort of viscerally aware of Bleed, but didn't care for the mechanical feel. But this? This album (Koloss) and their next one (Clockworks) have got such a groove, I just got sucked into their world and I'm quite happy to remain there, thank you very much :)

[@davidgarcia6796]

David Simpson check out their song "abnegating cecity"

[@norseca542]

the album's name was The Violent Sleep of Reason ( Clockworks was a single and it was one of their finest products)

[@beenmicrophone5817]

catch 33 my dude! it might take a few listens, and some of it is filler, but the juicy bits are some of the best meshuggah ever in my opinion! truly a masterpiece

[@alexeypolevoybass]

> didn't care for the mechanical feel Wait for some 10-ish years, you will understand what's true musicianship, and you will appreciate Bleed as well as everything else that's worth it.

[@CableReadyTechnoSIut]

All of Meshuggah is good. Their EP “None” released in 94 is amazing.

[@ADAMSMASHRR]

This music is so fucking groovy, literally

[@Alex_zyb]

0:39 Jens going into the 6th dimension.

[@mongrel_97]

his face kills me. im fuckin dyin here. hahahahahaha

[@robertkiss2737]

They are in a league of their own. Live they are absolutely phenomenal, so many musicians come to see them. Glad I had the chance to see them.😮

[@daevidharvey7113]

So much metal music but there’s truly just a handful that create greatness like any genre I suppose ... like anything People like things for different reasons , as long as it moves you ... it’s your good

[@karolpopiak2031]

I hope they are immortal. :D

[@obafwsmeshuggahcrazed7836]

ZAQU666 KRBWBŁC they are the supreme beings that created the beings that created us

[@bicboi1930]

dude forreal im so sad that theyre getting older

[@karolpopiak2031]

You know, everyone does. We can't stop the time, but we can save (or record) a time. For now they show us eight great albums (and some other extras too. FOR-EVER.

[@CoonBearDog]

Bic Boi yeah but time doesn't seem to have impacted their live shows though, they still kick ass

[@bicboi1930]

CoonBearDog true but they aren't as enthusiastic. I wish people still bought records so they didn't have to tour so much and they could recharge.

[@CloneCommando501st]

For a long time I only listened to rational gaze, bleed, and a few others, could never get into the bulk of their stuff..... then suddenly I realised while listening to new milleneum cyanide christ how much i love their sound

[@SANTZxxx]

No band will ever surpass these custodians of power.

[@JoLoneyMusic]

Meshuggah can never be played loud enough 🤘

[@speaknoworforeverhol]

I literally can not get enough of this song.

[@rajansanchez9674]

Lamb of God and Meshuggah please in 1 concert event!!!!!

[@C4ndleJ4ck]

It happened at Soundwave 2012 in Australia. I got concussed in a circle pit after colliding heads with a guy in a dinosaur onesie while they were playing this song.

[@radalict]

Jack Blades haha I remember that guy in the dinosaur onesie.

[@bicboi1930]

+Jack Blades thats one for the ages ahahaha

[@AgustinRodriguez-Bdm]

Rajan Sanchez Fuck Yes Lamb Of God is my favorite band they kickass lml

[@slipknota7xeg]

Rajan Sanchez God i wish!

[@manmcman01]

The intricacies in the mix during the intro are unbelievable. The way the main guitar track is mixed with the bass and drums to create a low, primal, driving feeling is sublime. Once you add the second guitar track pushing the higher register , especially considering his pick attacks are so pronounced add a panicked/suspenseful feeling to an already thunderous roar. You hardly ever see a track produced and mixed so well anymore, I'm just blown away.

[@paulfitz6614]

I can't stop listening to this song, one of the best metal songs ever written. The groove is insane.

[@ohisheh]

This song is makes you feel like a beef cake injected with synthol on steroids. Gonna go wrestle an Ox with my bare hands.

[@Alloverthecarpet1]

so... Rich Piana?

[@DjClayface]

right babe?

[@obafwsmeshuggahcrazed7836]

Tyrone Hogan I just got done listening to New millennium Cyanide Christ and I cut a bears nuts off and fed them to it while playing the worlds largest violin while cooking biscuits and gravy

[@3m7c]

This is so unique and awesome. Not many bands can accomplish this kind of originality and awesomeness at the same time. True legends.

[@dadebbil4888]

Such a great song! One of the first Meshuggah songs I learned on bass.

[@sithebugguy3193]

love meshuggah. jens vocals are amazing. hypnotic almost.

[@emchammer1815]

You'll not find many Meshuggah covers, if ever. they are difficult to time. this is their quality. Love this stuff!

[@brandontadday6288]

I always mean to get around to attempting it but then I realize how much hard work it is to perfect and memorize all the rhythmic modulation and I just give up.

[@MFKR696]

***** Rhythmic displacement is kinda a double-edged sword. On one hand, it makes it really easy to map out a head-bobber, but also extremely difficult to pull off correctly.

[@MFKR696]

***** Who ever said 'Shuggah tunes don't require technique? You're havin a laugh dood.

[@MFKR696]

***** Sometimes "simplicity" can be deceptive.

[@MFKR696]

***** Whatever you say Mr. Ubermensch.

[@josephd.davison6766]

donde están los latinoamericanos fanáticos de meshuggah, reportense.

[@felipej674]

No.

[@victorfranco1308]

aqui!!!

[@donwladi]

esperando el reencuentro. Despues de 3 años hoy Meshuggah se presenta nuevamente en Chile. Allá estaremos !!!

👍🏽

[@pablohenriques1849]

[@tomekzareba1656]

rytmicznie , grają jak trzeba !!!

[@GenericInternetter]

While most Meshuggah songs are my favourite song, I think this one is my most favourite out of all the favourites.

[@rockandrollemergency]

dear meshuggah. thank you for following your dreams and continuing to create the beautiful music you've shared with us all. much love.

[@MeekDrill]

Meshuggah are amazing, only saw them once and it was brutal. One of my favorite band to work out on too.

[@GusHampton]

Man, the artistry of the songwriting and lyricism together in this song is INCREDIBLE. To the critics who can't understand - learn to appreciate concepts like consonance and alliteration with the crushing rhythm in this track. "A SONIC DECLARATION OF SPITE." Wow.

[@robertcuntlover2967]

So I started to go to the gym listening to Meshuggah a month ago. Now I'm Mr. Olympia.
