Meshuggah- Humiliative

[@haven252]

insanely far ahead of its time

[@mattinwinkymg]

like marty mc fly came back with his tape recorder in your sleep and enlightened your whole childhood ahead of its time

[@newspaperlightbulb]

This album came out in 1991. Just let that sink in. Tool hadn't even put out Undertow yet.

[@billybobmybutt]

the song itself was actually 1994

[@supnegus7711]

'What billy said, THIS song was in 1994. It just came with the re-release of the same album in 1998. All said and done, this song coming out in 1994 is fucking mind blowing.

[@newspaperlightbulb]

Still, Meshuggah is and always has been lightyears ahead of their time.

[@Yojimbo711]

I know man... Certified geniuses for many years now. Can't beat the feeling you get when you first listen to these guys.

[@bertilbulowkarrebk9867]

i don't know man. Tool and Meshuggah are both my favorite bands. i don't think could choose one over the other

[@brandontadday6288]

I could listen to that intro groove for years on end and never get bored.

[@sphacelus]

crazy how much their style has changed... this track is dope.

[@michaelion7753]

Meshuggah, At The Gates, Candiria, Fear Factory are bands wayyyy ahead of their time Killin it in the 1990s

[@shREDhead44]

24 year old song??? Still holds up today just fine, Shuggah so far ahead its ridiculous.

[@acgaming9127]

Meshuggah started djenting in 1994 🤯

[@joeyjones9041]

My band used to blow people's minds in highschool playing this song. I was 15, i played guitar. Good times...

[@aarontabor7098]

This album is a masterpiece as far as Im concerned. I never get tired of it no matter how much i listen to it. I wish they would have stuck with this technical/progressive thrash style. As much as I used to like it, it's hard for me to go back to modern Meshuggah knowing that this exists.

[@lol909ism]

Combine James hetfields voice with Phil anselmos = Jens Kidman

[@jbasti227]

No matter which era and style, Meshuggah was always an insane talent

[@Anomalocaria]

I can't believe these motherfuckers have been around since the 80's. This is heavy for days even by today's standard. We've got shit like deathcore and beatdown setting the bar for heavines for the past decade or two, then there's these guys doing the same shit 20 years before its time. Honestly, I feel like modern metal would be much different if they never existed. There's always that constant desire a lot of musicians have to be heavier than the rest, we would have gotten around to what we have today eventualy, but we skipped a couple of decades because of these dudes.

[@elysianfury]

4:45 now there's the meshuggah I know! this is 1991?!?!?

[@maccunningham497]

Ive only listened to chaosphere and beyond, never gave this album the chance it deserves, and god bless does it crush. I love the outro riff, one of my new favorites from them.

[@danieldraugsvoll236]

4:32 I think I found a new favorite Meshuggah riff

[@theolajide]

these cats and pantera are the top of the food chain as far as extreme music i concerned in my opinion

[@TheSuperHalloweenie]

As a musician,I first heard these guys in the mid 90's.....HOLY SHIT !!!!! was all I could come up with as a response.The urge to emulate was uncontrollable.Going from Pantera timing signatures to Meshuggah's poly's was fucking incredible and neccesary as a guitarist . DD To this day

[@muffmuff3631]

nobody talking about 4:04 though! what a riff!

[@browiththecoolslidyface9709]

Really sinister sounding part

[@Pureasmr101]

Messhugah back then was insane especially chaosphere this is definitely the best contradictions collapse song

[@MDevpxl]

The drumming in this son is freaking insane

[@Cavirex]

My god they sounded great even then. These guys always were fantatic and only got better and better with each album.

[@musiclover01ization]

Look guys, meshuggah and pantera both rock. Why are we arguing about shit like this? Let's just listen to the music. Music is subjective

[@aquateenman3]

Ive listined to meshuggah for a long time(5 years) but I never gave this album a listen until yesterday. Im shocked

[@RenzXVI]

For a second there, I thought the album cover was the loading screen for Red Alert 2 until I realized there were no Kirov airships around.

[@Dimebag08RIP]

@Megadeth916 Where did i say anything about Pantera? I take as much Meshuggah pride as anyone, i've seen them live four times, i own all their records and i've even met Fredrik Thordendal. A little bit of an over-reaction on your part.

[@italktobananas]

brutal jazz*

[@v12kid]

LOL @ all the Pantera and Metaillica comments. Metallica has sucked since 1991 and Pantera is now whatever. I am a fan of both but recognize the superior firepower laid down by Meshuggah. Respect

[@WizardZazaOfficial]

Damn, they must have been using an Ibanez universe on this track cause this is heavy af! They came out roughly around 1990 anyway before they released this in 91, so they were probably one of the first besides Korn to use a 7 string.

[@NoahShulman]

Hell fucking yeah. Riff after Riff...i used to rock to this back in the days!!!! SO FUCKING SICK!

[@justinjohnson1766]

Celticus You wish bro ROTMFFLMFAO. :'D

[@justinjohnson1766]

Avrian O'Brien They do not sound like Pantera in anyway shape or form, period. Phil Anselmos voice is so much deeper than Jen Kidmans voice. Their instrumental ideas are way too different. I love both bands but they DO NOT SOUND THE SAME.

[@BannanaOfDoom]

Its actually from the album "None", but it was included on the Contradictions Collapse.

[@probassistNOT]

@FreeByrd007 I think that on the album before Meshuggah they started playing 8 strings and from tuning A# they switched to dropped F...or sth like that,lol.

[@NothingKillsTheSun]

This probably has bin mentioned before in this comment section, but "Humiliative" is not on the original "Contradiction Collapse". It first appeared as Opener of the 94 EP "None" - 4 Songs of "None" were then added to the re-release of "Contradiction Collapse" in 98. You can clearly hear the 3 Year Gap to the Rest of the Album - "None" already sounded a lot like Destroy Erase Imrove.

[@ryuuy6313]

damn dat fucking bass

This is ahead of the curve.. The future of destruction..

[@NickBFTD]

@substatic10 Contradictions callapse and none were available on the same disc, wiith Contradictions callapse as the main sleeve and none just had a little square in the corner, that may be why the poster used this cover.

wow meshuggah has been crabcore before crabcore even existed

[@CoolCoverBro]

it was also on the re-release of contradictions.

[@dmytrotsvyntarnyi799]

The riff on 4:31, which goes till the end, reminds me of a part from " I ". I am almost sure that it's even the same notes (edit: yeah, the notes are of the same pitch and kinda similar rhythm) Edit2: the riff on 7:08 on " I "

[@BlackHowl1]

This song was released in 94. By that point, Pantera had already released CFH, Vulgar and FBD.

[@Thanos700]

I like both styles.....I like how their old stuff is different from new... they have some technical albums and some more traditional.. i would abeen pissed if every single cd was technical

[@Thedrumsurgery]

I don't speak spanish but this seemed like a generally favorable comment. VIVA EL METAL!!!!

[@mrmustang2000]

It is quite easy to hear some of Meshuggah's early influences on their first release, "Psykisk Testbild" from 1989. (The title translates to something like "Psychological Test-Picture".) I would mention Metallica as a major influence. The music of this EP is simpler and more straight-forward" than their more recent material, but some of their more progressive elements are present in the form of time-changes and polyrhythmics, and Fredrik Thordendal's lead playing stands out.

[@Nathani3l1]

it was added to CC as a deluxe addition thing later on :P

[@greensmurf9623]

The fact you're using a name such as LittleEmoBoy001 pretty much tells us whether or not to listen to you when it comes to music. This album is awesome

[@DominoRooster]
