Meshuggah - "Pravus" (Eldritch Nightmare Edition)

I took the Alive DVD's version of Meshuggah's concert footage for the performance of Pravus and extruded it bit-by-bit into a digital alembic, using a magnetic resonator to bind the resulting solution to a frequency offset from my portable reverse Gellar field, recombining it crudely into this mpeg file which I just uploaded to the internet.

If anyone wants to find art related to this: H.R.Giger, Zdzislaw Beksinski, C.M.Koseman, Heironymus Bosch

I feel like the members of Meshuggah should watch this. Not only does this tempo really bring out a different quality that would sound sick live, but I do feel like this type of visual portrayal in a video might help to bring about new ideas. As a long-time fan of the band, I would favor this outcome.

They did smth like this with They move below. Really cool!

[@RupertBreheny]

Please tell me you are taking commissions for this sort of thing. You should be making a very good living generating this sort of art for a certain kind of clientele. Hoping their people will be contacting your people soon.

Holy shxt that looks so fukim awesome. Sucks that it's not the original speed but slowing it down had shown a buttfuxk amount of details that might've missed!

[@TheEndofThis]

Hey man why aren't you on other social medias, this shit is amazing. Just found you, but you're literally so next level. Hope you find a platform where u get recognized, you're amazing dude ✌️

[@chronicdisease1722]

So many extremely cursed frames. 😀

[@carbon239]

Congrats on the music video you got to do for They Move Below!

[@Wizardhead]

Thank you. :) It was one of the biggest thrills of my life to hear the news that the band was really into the piece.

[@azlan_2024]

Each frame can easily be an album cover for a metal band. So rad

[@TheMatthewIsland]

The artwork here is bizarre and disturbing, the music is slowed down and just grooving as hell... In case of artwork, Wizardhead is one legitimate successor after H.R. Giger

[@frankylayneproductions4685]

what app do you use for the ai eldritch effects?

[@Wizardhead]

I used to use custom python scripts leveraging VQGAN and RIFE for tweening, later Disco Diffusion Jupyter notebook and lately I mostly use StableWarpFusion. You can learn more about the latter via Alex S's Patreon patreon.com/sxela and its companion Discord channel.

[@meeekeeey]

This looks like a colossal amount of work, it's brilliant as ever.

please make an edition of Perpetual black second from Alive too!

[@Useful-_-Idiot]

Glad there’s more of this. 🤤 Congrats on the Meshuggah *They Move Below* Video! That’s Huge!

[@padufhtagn2106]

The quality and definition of every single frame is absolutely incredible. Best work in your channel so far. It's like watching an entire flipbook of paintings from Geiger, Beksinski and Dalì. Expecting to see stuff like this in museums at some point in the very near future. Also would be interesting to know what kind of paintings do you feed to the AI (or whatever algorithm you use) that creates this stuff. EDIT: Ok I'm totally in love with this one. Some frames are shockingly beautiful, you could easily sell them as prints. Watching this without pausing every 2 seconds does not make it justice whatsoever.

[@Wizardhead]

The diffusers are good at blending sources. I use a lot of different artists' work as input depending on the goals, including Zdzislaw Beksinski, Dariusz Zawadzki, Mariusz Lewandowski (man those Polish surrealists are an amazing crew) as well as Dan Seagrave, HR Giger (of course) and many other of my personal favorites.

[@padufhtagn2106]

@@Wizardhead How did I not hear of Darius Zawardzki and Dan Seagrave before, thank you for the suggestion! It would be also cool if you tried integrating some works by Francis Bacon, if you haven't already (my profile pic is actually from one of his paintings haha). I personally prefer his lesser known pencil drawings, I saw some of them at an art exhibition. Anyway keep doing the good stuff 👍

[@nick.maldonado]

Love your videos ever since a friend showed me your channel. This past year I have done a lot of testing with different kinds of mushrooms and definitely appreciate your work. Huge fan Meshuggah, seeing them live next Saturday.

[@Wizardhead]

Their live shows have an almost trance state inducing quality with their layers of rhythmic syncopes tightly sequenced with Edvards next level lighting -- it's like some kind of close encounters of the hyperdimensional metal kind.

[@very_not_emo]

man it's so sick that it's just incomprehensible chaos and then sometimes there's a humanoid figure

So many weird images in this one. I love how varied and bizarre they get.

On my 21st i saw Tool live for the first time. I had eaten about half an ounce of the bluest shrooms I'd ever seen, taken 3 or 4 buttons of mescaline, and just before the show 21 hits of some NASTY LSD. This is essentially what my head was doing that whole show.

[@Wizardhead]

Enhanced live music performances -- is there anything actually better? I mean if there is, it's a real close fucking second. 🤟

[@cerealvapist333]

@@Wizardhead I've described that show as trying to stand up against a hurricane of sound and images. You've captured that really well. You fucking rule at what you do. Truly magic.

[@Wizardhead]

I'm on a quest.

[@bartekkucharski3880]

Man. I paint and draw biomech stuff and this is overload of references for me. Every frame is a painting that I love. Im against AI stuff but its great to boost your creativity when you hit the wall.

[@ryanaiden]

Truly beautiful ye Wizhead! It feels like if Meshuggah did the soundtrack to eldritch Fantastic Planet! This is a sight to behold!

[@wo1fs_FX]

amazing job man

[@Wizardhead]

Thanks. Its not as smooth animation as others but the variation and detail and shapes in the frames was worth it to me.
