It's amazing this song was released 28 years ago. Meshuggah changed metal forever.

[@Jack_Fuego]

Yeah man, contradictions collapse, none, DEI are all so different but its still clear what they’re doing with their sound yk

[@MegaLaban12345]

I’m thirty years old, and have been listening to meshuggah since 2008. Crazy to think that this banger was 10-something years old at that point already…

[@WebsterA]

I gotta thank these guys for mostly being in their 50s and almost 60s and still bringing us this.

[@mvunit3]

Got into this album and became a lifelong fan in 1995. I am 60 years old now, and still have (all) my long hair :p.

[@alexfilma16]

Tomas Haake is a Terminator sent back in time that took up drums instead of killing John Connor. Change my mind.

[@Brucewayne2112-qk4ji]

❤

[@philmorgan3316]

Maybe he killed John conner then got bored and started a band.

[@7AKV7]

He is better than that.

I don't know . . . I have always said "Jens is the T-800 as he scans the audience with that LOOK, especially when he stares at YOU!"

[@Kenjames10]

I can't get over how badass this is. Especially Jens who is 57 and still growling like a mad man.

[@daniel4977]

This growl, live, is an improvement, if that is possible, over the actual record. Damn. Sick quality.

[@lollo2001ll]

Heard them last wednesday for the first time live, i've never seen a band perform better live than on records holy fuck im still blown away

[@frankholmes4175]

Had the chance to say hello because of Erica. I was starstruck. Bumbling dummy. And the Tomas enters the picture and I wet my pants. Jk, truly emotional night in Bethlehem PA.

[@freddieg]

‘The Melodie’s are over” and heads into one of the nastiest breakdowns in metal history

[@ricardoraposo3630]

keep in mind this usually their last song of the set, after playing 90 minutes of similarly insane music

[@danielreyna7897]

This is the best metal breakdown in history

[@thepotatotaxi2430]

applies to any part of the song

[@GrimSRT8]

This was their “breakthrough” song. It’s when I became a fan.

[@brandbird]

There's really nothing chaotic about Meshuggah. They are super orchestrated and precise.

[@dek86s]

controlled chaos!!

[@bananaempijama]

​@@dek86sa precise chaos 😂

[@ZT-fc8mw]

It's a weird variation of 4/4 if you ask Haake. All Meshuggah songs are essentially a 4/4 feel, but with a ton of polyrhythmic backbeat stuff at medium to high tempos, hence why total, it's in 7/8 or 6/8 or whatever, but they can be boiled down to a polyrhythmic 4/4 groove.

[@coreyellerbe]

I assume they slow this down live now because they're getting older, but it make is 100x more heavy, so it's a win-win.

[@Professor_Smoak]

No kidding. They're AARP eligible and still blowing people's skulls back.

[@symptomofsouls]

You should see them play Lethargica live, sounds like you're being run over by a tank

[@How2Lift2Day]

First time I heard this song it was live in a brutal mosh pit. And when that heavy drop came, and the lights went off, I was scared for my life not gonna lie. Metal has never been the same

[@7000drummerboy]

Who's gonna tell them that the album version is 2 steps faster?

[@lakabaka]

This whole concert is fire, huge sounding

[@jackquinn7238]

Best gig I've ever been to

[@frankholmes4175]

110%

[@mitcosonline]

main thing - they did this music in 1995. genius. we listening to 95 music now as like you listen 1966 music in 1995. but Meshuggah 95 songs is really technical and impressive even now

[@Catch3318]

Ive been listenind to meshuggah for ver 20 years. I get anxious seeing them how old and grey they have become, just because I don't know for how long is gonna be possible for them to perform or write this kind of physically challenging music. :( :(

[@muffmuff3631]

Marten Hagström said in an interview they will write and play music till their bodies literally start falling apart lol. That's what I expected from these iron clads anyway.

[@oldscratch3535]

These aren't the kind of men to just quit something because they're old. They will play and perform until they can no longer physically do it.

[@qwerty.4450]

Same, I fear a day when we realize that bleed never returned to the setlist and it’s gone forever

[@Catch3318]

They actually went in a lot tours in the past years that bleed was out of the set list, but I've heard that they brought it back in this winter tour happening as we speak! the first time I saw meshuggah live back in 08. They played only half of bleed. Just like in the music video, cause they didn't have time to reherse it properly before the tour I heard, that tells you the level of endurance that song requires.@@qwerty.4450

[@Catch3318]

Well safe to say that Fredrik hasn't been much involved in writing ever since Koloss, and he already took a big hiatus from the band some years ago, that gives you and idea. @@muffmuff3631

[@wesleyb1458]

Greatest live metal band ever yes it’s a fact. I’ve never had an experience at a live show like I have had with Meshuggah

[@pipespeeps5349]

fr

[@666sicksatan666]

Absolutely unreal live performance, the lights, the show, the music. Not a single mistake, just perfection!

[@vzylexy1506]

I've seen Meshuggah once, back in 2016. Easily the best live show I've ever been to, probably the closest I've ever been to a 'religious experience,' it's absolutely unreal.

[@Djcimofficial]

Seeing them in 2 weeks and I can’t wait! Meshuggah is one of the best live bands and their light show is absolutely amazing!!

[@wichiwachigide2451]

How was it ??? Seeing them this year in Warsaw 🥳

[@jasonnielsen9683]

This concert may be one of the best live recordings I have heard. It is stunning. Thanks for the reaction.

[@frankholmes4175]

A wonderful brain bleed.

[@dontreadonme5331]

My favorite meshuggah song ever! Imagine the joy when I was sending this song to my son in law and saw you had a reaction to it 😂😊

[@vormulak]

This is at Bloodstock 2023. I witnessed this magic.

[@OzLeedsCrew]

not bad for a 28 year song huh. Brutal. Genre creators. \m/\m/

[@Snotric]

Seen them twice, they are from my hometown, always awesome 😎😎

[@trevoryoung3134]

Umea!!!

[@ckunderck7318]

Sometimes bands come out with their best work right away. I do enjoy all the new stuff but this one has it all. Clockworks is another masterpiece imo

[@MySackSweat]

Absolute godfathers of modern metal. Back in the 90s.... Insane

[@TaylorRodCarter]

This is like a bnsf 70 mph train coming at full speed my god is this insanely good

[@thqp]

Saw them live in august, this song put the whole crowd in to a frenzy! So glad I got to see them live again, they are just phenomenal! Hope I'll get at least one more chance to see them live. Can't believe they'll be doing live shows for too much longer.

[@theolinwox]

So happy you’re doing more Meshuggah, thank you!

[@C_1183_]

Short answer...Yes! And judging by the performance at their age, they should be capable of keeping it up for few more years. Anyways, absolutely go see them whenever you get the chance!

[@GahMehGrrrr]

The lighting ....there's a video showing the guy who does their lighting by hand....he "plays it". He is another essential band member

[@R...-...R]

I was waiting for the breakdown, knowing exactly how you would react 😂

[@luizde-rossi643]

Yes! My favorite Meshuggah song! So glad you guys did it. Bravo! 🤘🏽👏🏽

[@No-xr7vx]

Saw these guys last November and it was the single best live performance of any kind I could hope to see, and likely never will see something on that level again. A religious experience. Never, ever miss an opportunity to see them while they're still capable of playing (they ain't getting any younger)

[@notdynomonkey]

The latest tour was soooo kickass!!! This was the first Meshuggah song I heard (when it came out) and hooked ever since!! Do NOT miss this concert if you ever have the chance!! It's life changing!!...every time I see them!!! Awesome reactions!! You guys are one of my favorite channels!!!😊

[@D-ragon-S]

I'm sooo happy you talked about the trans they send you into! Because of pain I had to sit in a chair in a live concert. I was sober tranced into a state without pain for 30min+ .

[@thepotatotaxi2430]

This song is unironically, as a fan of prog in general, one of the most important in metal history EVER. It inspired the dissonant low tuned djent thing as a whole, did a lot of things that just hadn't yet been done, and managed to be to this day top tier heavy

[@Jesperadoo]

Fucking love this song, great reaction! Can’t seem to the find this exact live video, sounds amazing!

[@larsbo999]

11:03 well said lady, I couldn't put it better myself 👍

[@frankholmes4175]

Lady??? Ms. Dlife to you.

[@zanethef0x531]

Listen to the album version. If you thought the tempo on this was fast, the album version is faster. They watered down the tempo a bit. But keep in mind that this song was created in 1995. They are much, much older here. God bless this band for still going on!

[@dalejohnson2047]

This was my introduction into messuggah been a fan every since, I wondered if they would bring the alarm sound back in the song like the record

[@sebbenilsson860]

I love these guys! They've been such an inspiration to so many bands over the years. Misha Mansoor from Periphery loves them. He's got some side projects that are very Meshuggah-inspired. Also, Meshuggah's current main bass player Dick Lövgren was a stand-in bass teacher at my school in high school. At that time he was a stand-in for Meshuggah's bass player, but he later on became their main. ❤

[@AbeRodriguez79]

That's so cool. Was he teaching rock? Jazz? Was he a cool teacher? So many questions.

[@robnorwood3591]

I saw them last Friday and they played this. Best live band since SLAYER retired!

[@christopherrothwell9118]

Until today ;)

[@Acklack]

A friend bought the record 28 years ago. We went to my room and put it on. Metal was never the same afterwards. We both cried and laughed. Will never forget that moment

[@rubaidaallen2764]

Such a great song. It was awesome hearing it last year 🤘🔥

[@darkphoenix2]

I'm so glad I eventually "got" Meshuggah. They originally wore me out and too many of their songs sounded the same to me, but now I appreciate the differences and can hear the 4/4 rhythm in most of their stuff. You guys gonna get back to Periphery soon? You still barely scratched the surface and you were really enjoying them! And they're in that same family of metal as Meshuggah!

[@thepotatotaxi2430]

Periphery is the only "djent" band that can stand to Meshuggah and my favorite band after Haken

[@Djent_Djenerator]

Lucky enough to see this track live twice! The craziest crowd reactions ever were from this, and Bleed

[@jebslept8515]

6:05 the most brutal moment

[@SwissyChief1265]

I was at the last show of that tour. It was amazing.

[@HabemusNapaIm]

Nice, now you definitely should listen to Dancers to a Discordant System.

[@danielreyna7897]

The best meshuggah show was in Chile

[@staratlas7778]

One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded ❤️🤘🏼

[@ricflair_mclaren]

Seeing them on the 10th in north jersey, cant wait

[@jonnavvir]

Real god tier metal band.

[@lefunghi6151]

I hope they play it live when I finally get to see them next year. 28 Years old yet still one of the greatest tracks they have made. That first Solo just takes you to a different dimension and then brings you back to earth with the breakdown. Amazing

[@ThePeca1988]

I've seen them live about 20 years ago, and this was their closing track back then too, and it's just absolutely insane. Seeing them now, so many years later, doing it better than ever, with all grey beards and sh*t, is honestly kind of unbelievable. To play this only track alone is insane, let alone doing it at the end of a 1+ hour show. I mean they are the absolute master of this, and are just on top of their game even after so many years!

[@williamlarsen799]

Nice to see another video is out. You should do spasm next

[@mvunit3]

Now you guys need to checkout the Studio Version and read the lyrics. Still my fave album and track. When you hear how the guitar solo sounds (in-studio), you'll have to find Fredrik's muse, the late Jazz/Fusion guitarist "Allan Holdsworth", where Fredrik gets that "sound" when he used to play his solo in that style back then (and his solo efforts). Also, as the "Wife" said; "Thinking of Math", well there is a subgenre or umbrella term called "Math Metal" (not "Mathcore", which would be created by "Dillinger Escape Plan" in 1997), and the band I heard 1st called that was *Watchtower* in 1988 for their 2nd album "Control and Resistance". Some bands to try out: Watchtower Sieges Even (debut album) Atheist (A Questionable Presence)* Thought Industry (their debut album; Songs for Insects) Zero Hour Spiral Architect Aghora Cynic (Focus) Alarum Twisted Into Form Momento Waltz To-Mera Fractal Universe Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects (from the Lead-Guitarist of Meshuggah)* . . . for starters. And most have "Melodic" vocalists (except those with *). There are TONS of Technical-Death Metal bands that are complex as well.

[@trevoryoung3134]

Saw this live in Grand Rapids! The crowd went insane! Epileptics passed out!

[@tictocbang7443]

Just saw them twice last month. They're transcendent, especially live.

[@mr_klotz5534]

they are currently on us tour. you gotta see them live!

[@misterscarisma]

"This song is craaaaazy." Never gets old.

[@buh1808]

crazy how good they sound after 30 years

[@tommyjones5793]

Love that muddy sound

[@deadheads1352]

Breach - It's me god

[@AidenCantrell]

Just saw them Sunday. Can confirm they are the best live band.

[@laniking6114]

Greatest metal band ever!

[@roaringviking5693]

It's the direct opposite of chaos. Chaos means no order, this is hyper ordered.

[@meshuggah434]

I remember hunting the country side for this album. After rock video monthly seeing Transfixion and I was done.

[@jhamilton1007]

Yes, Meshuggah is chaos, controlled chaos. They were the originators of Djent, and because of that, you can also thank Meshuggah for bands like Spiritbox. Meshuggah originally were more like Metallica style Thrash when they first formed though.

[@sambarnett1851]

I was at this show bloodstock was fuckin unreal

[@riffgroove]

One of the sickest songs of all time.

[@NooDLES411911]

I just saw them a few nights ago, uhhh yeah theyre the best live band ever. Soooo fucking powerful. Meshuggah and Gojira get my votes, Tool as well but thats a different vibe.

[@satricon]

why did it sound like jens had an arnold accent in the end! Also haake wtf! I thought they played it slower age is a against them, but haakes fn double bass after the song went fast as fuk!! wtf i had no idea he had that speed in him!

[@tompayton84]

This is from Bloodstock 2023, best night of my life!

[@nicorido]

did you reacted to Strapping Young Lad? please react to them with a song from "Alien"'s album!!!

[@DustyDigits]

Skeksis or Shitstorm for sure!

[@user-sx4oj2jg9r]

Best song for ever

[@lesprod6302]

Meshuggah is a dark paradise and Thordendal is the God.

[@dannotwalruslarkin9324]

I just about cried laughing at the simultaneous stink faces produced at the start 😂😂😂. Both looks screamed "what the fuck is this?!" Love Meshuggah. Hard to believe these guys have aged so much and are still improving both in studio and live. That *does* not happen, ever.

[@4WOF]

These guys will be gone too soon, even after 3 decades of melting faces....the world will never experience this again

[@GodlessFiend]

Can you do abysmal eye from meshuggah live at bloodstock 2023 next?

[@cryptotalksnetwork]

Meshuggah live is a life altering experience. I'm not saying this lightly. If you ever have the chance to see them, go. Even if its a 12h drive. It changed my perception of music for the rest of my life.

[@guitaristssuck8979]

This live version is slower than the recording... they started slowing down years ago

[@michaelpeterson9016]

Anybody got a link to the original video?

[@GiGi-fu6qs]

Beyond Fiction - Endless cycle

[@felipecampos3045]

this is the BEST meshuggah song

[@arcadeshift5071]

They used to play Future Breed Machine way faster 20 years ago. I know everyone ages, but it sounded better when they played it faster than the recording. Also, as fantastic as this song is, I'd rather they play other deep cuts in their set. They've been playing this live for almost 30 years and most Meshuggah fans have seen them play it live many many times.

[@kingbrutusxxvi]

The band members are descended from Vikings. They make music that would terrify the devil. Coincidence? I think not.
