Meshuggah - Lethargica [Alive DVD]

[@Korpsz]

I like that breakdown at 0:00-6:05 !!!!

[@Yek0ms]

The only band in the world that reached that level of brutality, complexity, intelligence.and power. You're a miracle, thank you.

3:10 is perhaps until this day, one of the hardest hitting grooves I have heard in my life.

[@ssorjnature7274]

1:35 hits like a black hole as well

[@jcannion]

I would love to see a Prog-Metal fest featuring Tool, Meshuggah, Mastadon, and Opeth!

[@xandolio865]

Chicago Open Air 2019. I was there. Meshuggah, Gojira, Tool, System of a Down, Alien Weaponry. It was amazing.

[@astrangemd]

meshuggah is inequitably the MOST influential band in metal today...maybe ever

[@newberry231]

100% after years and years of loving the “core” genre, they are why we have so many good bands that have followed. Man, these guys are seriously underrated with what they have done to the entire scene and genre.

[@RonnocCibbor]

At 3:10 I prolapsed.

[@maxnewellmz8025656]

brutals

[@draconianrush]

Once I got into the bands I'm into now (especially Meshuggah), I realised that there was no point trying to write music again because there is nothing anyone can do to beat this. It's just defeat in it's finest form. Fucking epic win.

[@Paniekzaaiertje]

Writing music is not a competition

[@AmitDas-wp4vp]

Same feeling.

[@optimus]

3:07 CHILLS CHILLS THE FUCKING CHILLS

[@timjones626]

So i saw Meshuggah with Ministry at the Hollywood House of Blues. Meshuggah finished their set and before Ministry came out, Jens Kidman was standing next to the Meshuggah merch booth. I approched him and introduced myself. I thanked him for the great show they had put on, and for the music they had released for all of us to enjoy. I extended my hand as an affirmative hand shake good-bye......it was as limp as a wet noodle. Fucking broke my heart. I still love them though.

[@Darrylizer1]

A truly unique band. Nobody sounds like them and I doubt few others could play this stuff let alone write it.

[@olpaxis]

I saw them at Dour, was BY FAR the most wicked hour of my life, let alone the best concert. My friend, get ready to experience something wild...

[@jcannion]

The real question is were you there in 2002 when these guys opened for TOOL? Best show I've ever went to.

[@chillassmofo96]

[@frenchlad9441]

meshuggah is the only band that can actually make me stop in place, frozen in pure...i don't know how to explain...i'm not even headbanging during the breakdown, i'm in a complete trance

[@TheStarlessAeon]

Their live sounds is uncannily good ! soo good.

[@Lethargicaman13]

I was at the Toronto show on this tour and still the best show I’ve ever fucking seen

[@invailed5]

5:42 I can't believe that he looks BORED after palying this song. This guy is a machine/

[@m4j0rbumm3r]

@mmmcculloch3 You're so right man. When I went to see my first Meshuggah gig I was half expecting the low-tuned stuff to sound flabby and muddy, but both the playing and the live sound engineering were flawless. The later shows I've seen were again crystal clear, so it's not just great on the DVD. Pretty amazing...

[@000trashcanhero000]

Sounds just like the studio version, they always play their songs dead on target, almost no flaws \m/

[@nonhasthisusername]

seen them live once, if you think this sounds good, your ears are gonna spew rainbown when your actually there, the snare was like a gunshot to my head, every single hit...

[@MortenBoHansen]

that end piece just blows my mind with harmony!

[@ssoulrakk]

masters, we bow to you

[@raas96]

this is probably the best dvd i've ever purchased. the audio CD is superb quality too

[@bluebunny61]

It doesn't get much heavier than this, this and Spasm are two of the heaviest songs.

[@MortenBoHansen]

that end riff just burst my brain with total harmony! It just cant be played loud enough, !

[@AdamDallas]

@tolisdrums I know for the newer 8 string stuff, the bass is actually tuned up so it's playing the exact same notes as the guitar generally. The scale length of the bass and thickness of the strings and pickups gives it such a different sound. With old songs I imagine he uses a 5 string tuned down a half step to Bb

[@homersimpson2963]

Ah man I love that ending riff.

[@clarkburkhart3366]

that breakdown around 3:30 gives me chills everytime

[@DaGagamel]

OMFG!! Meshuggah is the only band which makes headbanging difficult!

[@--Brushy--]

I miss metal Boromir :(

[@slitherlock]

@SlaveOfNihil never noticed til your comment....too lost in the music...but yeah..haha..beyond amazing they never stop clanging. Meshuggah is like literally being inside of a musically harmoneous math problem that has frustrated scientists for years.

[@burrito1331]

i like how these guys have breakdowns with grooves in them

[@matjazkarlovcec924]

Wow, the ending riff is such a trip!

One of my favorite Meshuggah songs :)

[@vykroft]

those god damn heavy palm mutes...

[@brandonburch1447]

Sounds like the studio version.. Incredible

[@JasonManning23]

@LfunkeyA When i listen I'm glad there is a purposeful removal of the extra linearity that melody implies. For me the rhythms gain more perspectives, because there's one less thing enforcing the rhythm and you can pick and choose different flows or grooves whatever. Change it up every time you listen to it

[@OudeWellington]

@m4j0rbumm3r Saw them live at Brutal Assault in the Czech Republik. Pretty much the hole festival suffered from bad sound. Only Meshuggah refused to play, 'til everything was well mixed, took about 15-20 min extra time, before they could start. Worth every second, totally agree with you, one of the greatest live-sounds I've ever heard :)

[@supah1337B]

@MrProg Yup, in a little card, and when you open it up every triplet from his drums and every Yell from Jens BLASTS out. Kinda dangerous if you think about it.

[@tolisdrums]

guys may i pose a question??? I saw meshuggah live on march 31st here in greece, does anyone know what dick does with his bass guitar so that he plays the second string as an open F for these newer songs but also as an open D# for the older songs??? some kind of pitch shift or something like that?...

[@PeripheryFanboy]

im getting that guitar ;) asuming its a ibanez 2228 prestige rite?

[@LfunkeyA]

@LINKENSSPHERE yeah that one sounds great. i'm not saying they're bad musicians from a harmonic/melodic perspective, they just choose to focus on rhythm most of the time.

[@LfunkeyA]

@mannotaurable Yeah at times Meshuggah almost has a jazzy/fusion approach to their sound. Them avoiding typical song structures and sections is intentional.

[@ThrashMetalMan1]

@Zagorulez can you put up Humiliative from this DVD? I can't find it anymore it used to be on youtube somewhere.

[@DaGagamel]

@SlaveOfNihil i try but playing the song and headbang is reaaaally difficult :D

[@jackal198666]

I just caught a glimpse of the center...

[@ClassicColtCabana]

"This one's called Lethargica!! "

[@supah1337B]

@Zozol6 Hell yeh. Its actually not apocalyptic in a way. But, if you can agree with me, All the songs on "ObZen" have lyrics that seem to Personify Death and Evil in a very Terrifying and ominous fashion. The song lyrics on "Catch 33" seem to personify a person thoughts, a person who is trapped in insanity and paradoxes "Chaosphere", the songs in chaosphere seem to actually be from perspectives of the Common-choatic-destructive nature of humankind. Meshuggah is shakespeares cyborg.

[@LfunkeyA]

@LINKENSSPHERE yeah Cynic has some complex progressions, good stuff. i think when Meshuggah plays more melodic stuff it weirdly sounds jazzy.

[@666gugi666]

@JIMMYmetalhead it's so awesome!

[@imita01]

These guys are sick!..I don't care what anybody says, this band throws down every fucking time... To me that's what makes metal what it is... the idea of going all out every fucking time... If you don't get it you're not metal.. and there's nothing wrong with that... We'd rather not see people who are not metal and are not down with going all out at a Meshuggah concert anyways... BTW... Did I mention that these guys are sick?

@LfunkeyA haha, but seriously though, we all have to agree that the end of dehumanization is the most tittyripping composition anyone has ever came up with! xD

[@CaptainBeefy]

you can tell his voice is getting a little raw at this point in the show. this must have been one of the later tracks

[@Velcharoon]

I would say that this whole song reeks of impending doom, not only between 3:10 - 3:50.... Idd the soundtrack to the end of all things... So damn dark...
