Meshuggah - Pravus (Alive DVD) (HD)

Pravus by Meshuggah played in Tokyo, Japan and ripped from the Alive DVD.
There were already videos of this on KZbin but the audio quality in the ones I could find was disappointing so I wanted to offer a better one.

Jens' performance in this song was WILD!!! That "VIOLAAAAAaaaaaate" always makes me squint my eyes like if i'm in pain, it's that intense!!! It's just unbelievable how incredible these guys are. Meshuggah is definitely the best and heaviest metal band on Earth.

[@sjquitzvlogs8416]

3:36-4:14 is the heaviest riff of all time in history of metal.

[@RicoRomanProductions]

It sounds like it could be the soundtrack of a movie like Dunkirk, it sounds what I feel like dive bomb planes coming in for the kill sound like. Bring the heavy

[@TechNMusic]

Not trying to stir the pot, but I'd have to disagree. Within The Ruins has some epically brutal breakdowns that out do Meshuggah. Also, Leprous-The Sky is Red. The last 3-4 minutes of that song is insane. Sure it may not have double bass blasting you in the gut, but the synergy of all the instruments in that crescendo make for one of the darkest and most intriguing breakdowns out there. I get being a fan and really feeling the music, but try not to hyperventilate over a small section of music that's found in a much larger ocean of heaviness.

[@FuckoffDickhead]

TechNMusic naaah dude leprous has nothing on Meshuggah lol. In my opinion. Meshuggah is the Sound of destruction and apocalypse

Meshuggah technically aren't music. For music you need harmony, melody and rhythm. But they are still my favourite band.

[@codywolfe1001]

***** Theyre fucking amazing is what they are

[@squiresuzuki]

***** 1. I don't see how Meshuggah songs don't have harmony/melody/rhythm. Elaborate please? 2. Aside from that, having harmony and melody and rhythm is far from the definition of music in my opinion. I'd define music as any collection of sounds that the artist who made/arranged it would call music.

[@aleksababa]

Wooooow. Deep bro.

[@EGGamingFolks]

***** They have rhythm and melody; not a lot of melody, but it's still there. You can't disregard that. If you want to hear them play a very obvious harmony, listen to their song "Unanything". :) They play music for sure, man!

[@zodiacmanan]

Controversial opinion ahead Gojira is a great band and they showcase what human beings can achieve. They are the epitome of human perfection, everything from emotional aspect to precision, everything is great. But there is a point beyond that a human body can't achieve. But these guys...these guys have achieved beyond human capabilities. It is like i am watching Gods performing on the stage. I am convinced these guys are not human. In fact, the real question is what dimension they are from!
