Meshuggah - In Death (Live @ Royal Albert Hall 03/06/22)

[@lamlengaming]

the best Metal band on the planet

[@smokejc]

Correct

[@fasthow223]

Basically like if you turned Michael Jordan into a metal band

[@rottencrowfromcaelid7183]

Truth has been spoken right up there

[@wilkinsos]

100%

[@autechrr]

Absolutely correct!

[@alvaroluke99]

I would 100% be the security guard at 5:43 , impossible not to groove with those monsters on stage.

[@siryeetsleyiii872]

Bearded security guy getting down with some of the slamming riffs 😀

[@TheRandomSpectator]

Reminds me of a certain Chelsea Grin video

[@no66666]

2:56 This is what makes In Death is Death the best Meshuggah song.

[@gregjeanfreau8027]

My beard just grew 3 inches watching this. Amazing, Thank you for posting.

[@AbstractMan23]

security looks like he's part of the band haha!

[@PleaseForgiveYourself]

Catch 33 is such a banger of an album.

[@jxcn]

Man getting to watch Fred and Mårten play so tightly in sync with each other is a true delight 6:23

[@MrBaverbo]

Looks so mesmorizing!

[@eliofernandes565]

This album came in 2005. For almost 20 years now I am listening to this. And yes, the 06:23 part is probably, at least for me, the most haunting thing that I´ve heard in metal in my 36years of life.

[@djangofett4879]

i had heard some songs from Chaosphere and Nothing before Catch 33 came out and thought it was just a lot of noise. then Catch 33 came out, i bought the CD on impulse because it looked cool and after listening to it i was like "this kind of sucks, why did i waste my money?" then i gave it another chance a week later and it clicked! Something curious kept me coming back to this band until it reaonated with me. Now its one of the few metal bands i still listen to.

[@PeladoMachine]

FUCK YEAH

[@AdamDallas]

Looks like the rest of the band has made the transition to Scandinavian God to match up with Tomas. That Stoneman Ibanez Fredrik uses looks so freakin badass.

[@Sam-rf8yh]

Haha. Perfect observation.

[@guybuddy1]

The ascension will be complete once Marten's hair goes grey. lol

[@VortechBand]

Even the security guy grew a beard for the occasion. Or maybe the songs did it.

[@blasteffect19]

Fredrik was already a Scandinavian god

[@Phybia]

Incredible how they are able to flawlessly play the riffs at 2:27 and 3:43. I've listened to them a million times and I could never crack the code to any of them. They sound so fucking random!

[@pipespeeps5349]

Thats the one part i just cant wrap my head around

[@Phybia]

@@pipespeeps5349 There's just no fucking logic to it, no apparent pattern, just pure clusterfuck

[@PanasonicTooth]

I never thought about it until now but the band bangs their head in 4/4 while playing those wack riffs. Try playing air guitar along to "In Death Is Death" while nodding in 4/4, it adds a whole other level of difficulty, at least for me it does (i cant do it).

[@jeromesnail]

That's how they wrote them, that's how they feel them.

[@drumkidstu]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2e5lqWBmcilhbM take it back a few years and it was a full body bang in 4/4 lmao

[@chlenz]

It's all about the groove baby

[@Isaac-eg3um]

i mean it is in 4/4

[@fasthow223]

You can start to associate with poly meters by the relationship that exists between turning signals of cars (different timings per brand) while at an intersection. Similarly, if you walk on a sidewalk, and pace your steps evenly, you will likely create a poly meter with your walk, based on the difference of length between your steps and the length of the cement blocks.

[@siryeetsleyiii872]

They play this way tighter and smother nowadays. Awesome.

[@piazza1129]

What a masterpiece! I'm lucky enough to have witnessed this twice out of three times I saw the band live. Not bad 😃 Also Straws pulled at random with Marten playing the solo part, it was like an out of body experience.

[@GodlessFiend]

Best songs from catch 33

[@grizzlywhisker]

Holy crap Fredrik has short hair and the mega beard now lol, I haven't seen him in such a long time. I still remember the first time I saw them in like '02 or '03 whenever the Nothing album came out. I was obsessed with Chaosphere when I first heard New Millenium Cyanide Christ and I remember waiting so long for them to come to my town. They were still pretty unknown in the USA so they were playing these crazy flawless shows in small basement venues back then. I miss them playing all the old Destroy Erase Improve songs and even some of the older stuff like Humiliative or Sickening. Their newer material is great too, but I just miss some of the classic thrashy songs.

[@Medddler]

So good to see Fredrik!

[@Capt_shred]

Thank you for capturing this glory

[@puranjansilwal4498]

[@Dalimagnus]

Proof that having long hair makes head banging not painful and effortless. Cut the long hair off equals less head banging for fear of a headache. Still with short hair…still badass. 😎

Fredrick looks like Justin Chancellor

[@NoSubjection1]

Why is Fredrik constantly tapping that pedal following the tempo with his left foot? Just curious.

[@drumkidstu]

It's an expression pedal that controls his delay for his leads. When he is tapping his foot it's not engaged so he just uses it to tap his foot to the music. When he plays his leads, he engages it, and it allows him to manually control his delay.

[@NoSubjection1]
