[@hatredcadaver5148]

Pasquale Vaccaro yeah, how did he not pass out during that solo?!

[@pasqualevaccaro5506]

Septic_Blue _Syra In reality I think that he uses some breathing technique like circular breathing or something. Didgeridoo players are famous for infinite drone sounds

[@LordTankian0]

Definitely circular breathing. You can see he uses his lungs to take in more breath

[@LordTankian0]

So I'm assuming he has a bit of air in his cheeks.

[@renloris460]

yeah, you can see him using circular breathing specifically at 2:18, you can watch his chest rise while he's forcing the air with his cheeks. I've been playing clarinet for 9 years and still haven't gotten it down. That man has put in his practice hours.

[@moyai551]

Thank you for *basically* remastering one of Meshuggah's best songs.

[@tristanmahler4471]

@jonny j It absolutely does not sound as good. The original album came out in 1998, and it sounds like recording guitars through tin cans compared to what's possible today. The RELOADED version is a huge step up, but it still sounds pretty dry. This version is super smooth and has a really fleshed out low end profile that sounds a lot like Violent Sleep of Reason.

[@johnmoore9588]

Yeah honestly this version sounds pretty amazing. Compressed a little too hard, but definitely nicer than the original
