YES!" for Mind's Mirrors + In Death Is Life/ Death. It is SO good to hear C33 stuff again. Also surprised but glad to see them not play Bleed. A welcome change. Like AaL with Cafo, it's good, but it's only so interesting to milk the same cow for so long. Great footage BTW

[@padawansound6423]

Yes! I drove down to Leeds for that one. The energy in the room was just absolutely incredible, been a long time since I've been to a gig like that.

[@Sh1bble]

Same here mate I got bare recordings of that show but I was more focused on them performing than getting good footage 😂 I was so shocked that they played In Death is Life / Death, the atmosphere at Rock City was so nice, really good vibes and people dancing when the heaviest bits were dropping, amazing gig ❤️

[@ekmad]

Saw them on this tour in Manchester and it fucking blew me away. I've seen Meshuggah on every tour they'd one in the UK since the 2008 ObZen tour and I genuinely think this was the best I have ever seen them. So tight, so brutal and that light show! Fucking *WOW* ! Brave decision to drop Bleed but it paid off as Mind's Mirrors into In Life was absolutely worth it.

[@patan93]

Thank you for this! My all time favorite band, there will never be another one like Meshuggah!

[@roseredflechette-vidya]

52:45 C33 was my first album by them... When I got to this riff on a first listen, I shit you not, _my brain turned into a car, Fredrik and Marten got in, and started doing fucking donuts in my skull._ Perfectly structured vortex of chaos. Then I learned to play it on guitar and realized its literally the same riff as the one before it just with every other note yeeted up an octave, but in such a way you'd swear they wrote it backwards. This band just blows my mind on repeat, forever and ever, amen, hail Satan.

[@rorz999]

The sound was actually slightly disappointing I thought. It was better for some songs than others. The faster / more complex songs sounded a bit muddy. Some songs also sounded louder/quieter than others. Frederik's solos were on the whole too quiet compared to the other instruments. It certainly wasn't terrible though, and of course the band put on an incredible performance. It's probably hard to get a room of that shape + size sounding good wherever you are sat or stood

Great show, they always live up to their reputation. Sucks they don't play anything from Chaosphere anymore... New Millennium Cyanide Christ was the song that got me into Meshuggah so I'd be bummed if I saw them and they didn't play it. They have so much material now it must be tough to pick what songs they want to play. I was lucky enough to see them pretty early in their career when they still played stuff like Humilitave, Soul Burn, or even Sickening... Perpetual Black Second is another one that hits super hard live that I love seeing them play. Also, that Broken Cog song from the new album really works well live as an opener with the psychedelic special effects.

[@trippinatormachine]

I wonder why they don’t play anything from Chaosphere anymore?

[@grizzlywhisker]

​@@trippinatormachine ​ I know right? It's sad for me because that was the first Meshuggah album I bought when I was in high school, so it was my introduction to them. I would love to see them put Neurotica back in the setlist. They played it on a couple rare occasions back when they were touring the Koloss album and I was really surprised to hear it live.
