"Bleed" by Meshuggah EXPLAINED (part 2)

[@kevinking1569]

I know I'm almost a year behind here, but I just wanted to add something. The last section you discuss, with the A B and C patterns, the C patterns aren't placed randomly. Or at least, there's a way to describe exactly where they are and what they're doing. In that portion of the song, every pattern (A, B, and C) all use the same 3 notes: F#, F, and D#. I learned this song on guitar, so for simplicity's sake I'm going to refer to these notes by their positions on the frets of a guitar: F# is 3 (3rd fret), F is 2 (2nd fret), and D# is 0(open/no fret). Within each pattern, the O section and the X section are only ever using 1 note at a time. So for example, if I say that OOOX is the notes 3203, that means the first O is 333-3-, the second O is 222-2-, the third O is 000-0-, and the X is 3---. (In this case the numbers are pick strokes and the hyphens are just the beats where nothing is picked; this is basically guitar tablature notation) You can imagine each pattern as doing a different task. Every B pattern shifts around to a new "home" note each time it's played. Every A pattern except the first one goes back to the same "home" note instead of going to the next one. There are two little rules to this whole section. Every O section will ALWAYS be the note that follows the section immediately before it. Every X section ALWAYS follows an O section, and it is ALWAYS the SAME NOTE as that section. And in this part of the song, the notes are always going in descending order, with 0 going back up to 3 (so, 3 2 0 3 2 0 3 2 0 3 2 0 etc.). So, to put that all into context, the way the patterns work together is as follows (using the O/X structure from the video as a guide): 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 X 3 2 0 0, 3 2 0 3 3 , 2 0 3 3, 2 0 3 2 2, 0 3 2 2, 0 3 2 0 0, 3 2 0 0 , 3 2 0 3 3, 2 0 3 3, 2 0 3 2 2, 0 3 2 2, 0 3 2 0 0, 3 2 0 0 I'm sure you can see a pattern emerging. Basically, the B pattern moves the song to the next "home" note (the one that gets played twice in a row), and the A pattern just loops back around to the same "home" note again. A simpler way to look at it is that every A pattern is just the last four sections of the B pattern before it. And if you look at the last note from every section, you see the descending order: 3, 3, 2, 2, 0, 0, 3, 3, 2, 2, 0, 0. SO! In this section, after a few repeats of the basic AB pattern, there's a crash cymbal on the first beat of one of the measures. When I'm playing this section on guitar, that crash signals something to me. The VERY NEXT time we get to 2 as the "home" note, when we're about to use the B pattern to shift to 0 as the "home" note, INSTEAD we play the C pattern. It follows all the same rules (except that the A pattern after it is the same as the A pattern before it), and looks like: 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 3 2 0 3 2 2 It is played exactly the same way both times, and it's played in exactly the same place within the note structure both times. From the crash cymbal: B______A______B________A_______B_______A_________C_________A_______B________A_______B_______A_______B________A_________C________A________B___ 0 X, 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 X, 0 0 0 0 X, [fill] 0 0, 3 2 0 0 , 3 2 0 3 3, 2 0 3 3, 2 0 3 2 2, 0 3 2 2, 0 3 2 0 3 2 2 , 0 3 2 2, 0 3 2 0 0 , 3 2 0 0, 3 2 0 3 3, 2 0 3 3, 2 0 3 2 2, 0 3 2 2 , 0 3 2 0 3 2 2, 0 3 2 2, 0 3 2 0 0, 3 2 0 Interestingly, the C pattern serves the exact same purpose as the A pattern. You'll notice the descending order of the last notes of each section has changed slightly, with the new C pattern almost pausing it. The new order in this part is: 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 0, 0, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 0, 0. The C pattern extends the amount of time 2 is the "home" note compared to the previous measures. And the way it gets back to 2 is kind of this long, meandering group of sections that feels like it lacks resolution, like it's unsure or wandering aimlessly. It sets up the end of this portion of the song beautifully, with the last note being 0, which then resolves fully into the next section (which is an earlier variation of the opening riff, and then the opening riff itself, both of which use 0 as the "home" note all the way through to the end). Anyway, PHEW. Just had to get this out there, as I've done a lot of thinking about Meshuggah over the years, and if anyone else watched your video through to the end I figured it might be interesting to get a little of the melodic context to go along with the rhythmic context you provided so succinctly. Thanks for the video!

[@NicolaiAwesome]

Super impressive break down! You should really be doing a collaboration or your own vid.

[@drumkidstu]

This is called an isorhythm. Simply a pattern as well of pitches. The prechorus of Stengah, this riff, the first 2 and a half minutes of Pineal gland optics, a lot of the riffs in dancers, The descending riff in I am colossus right before the guitar solo, several of the riffs in do not look down, the intro and outro of swarm, and the outro of demiurge are all examples of this.

[@V3xxe]

That C pattern riff actually DOES make sense! It's because they aren't just working with rhythms, but tones too. As the A/B sections repeat, they switch what tone they end the riff on. They add those two sections in order to change what tone the riff ends on, so they can end the last phrase on the lowest of the 3 tones.

[@Leo_rebena_drummer]

@Yogev Gabay you need to see this !!!

[@YogevGabay]

I suspected it had to do with that, but wondered about the placement of those Cs. I mean, They could have just jammed them at the and, but they didn't so I'm wondering!

[@V3xxe]

@@YogevGabay If you listen to the tones it's because the C always occurs on the same tone :) It happens when the previous A and B has ended on the middle tone, and the next one SHOULD be lowest but it adds the extra length to make it end on the middle tone again. Personally I think it was Fredrik Thordendal just going "I like that tone, I want more of it" 😂

[@drumkidstu]

This is an isorhythm. A pitch pattern that cycles. And in Meshuggah's case it creates a secondary cycle.

[@V3xxe]

@@drumkidstu Aye, that's the word! Thank you!

[@MonoIce350s]

As someone who studied music theory and ethnomusicology I appreciate what Meshuggah does so much. There are so many tie-ins with classical music of the modern era (Bartók, Stravinsky, et al using polyrhythmic chains, agogic accents, and phrasing over the barline), Indian music ("talas" / extended beat cycles), Balkan dances (breaking rhythmic chains into long/short steps), and the list goes on. All put into a blender and run through the pure Scandinavian death metal filter. Truly wild.

I don't understand Bleed anymore than I did before watching both parts, but this is absolutely incredible to see broken down so well.

[@MatvaNabor]

I really want to know what goes on in Thomas' head while playing this. How does he keep track of all those extremely minor variations.

[@CTyler84]

Well... Keeping track of it is probably not that difficult. Having listened to meshuggah a lot, I can tap along to the beats pretty easily, having never seen this pattern at all. Having to compose it in the first place, and then learn to play it repeatedly... That's a mystery. It's a lot like normalisation in language. People who learn English from text or spoken word will automatically learn all the rules that make up how the language works, even without having a clue what those rules actually are! The Meshuggah boys definitely know the rules. They don't break the rules, but they use those rules in ways you don't often hear. Right in your face. Like Shakespeare did: "though I with death and with reward did threaten and encourage him, not doing it and being done..." Meshuggah, the Shakespeare of music.

Dude, these two videos are CRIMINALLY underrated! I think Bleed is honestly one of the greatest metal compositions because of its cunning use of rhythm. I knew it was 4/4 and used the herta rudiment, but I didn't realise just to what extent it went into with the intricacies of the subdivisions. The thing that gets me is they not only had to write it and remember it, but they had to practise the hell out of it to pull it off (especially Tomas Haake). There's two geniuses here: the ones who wrote the damn thing and the one figured the damn thing out. I shall appreciate it much more now that you've demonstrated it in real time. One day - yikes - I may even have a go at playing it. Subscribed man. Keep up the great work, because you're like the Rick Beato of rhythm!

[@StephenChapman]

Man. It's so awesome that you took the time to make this two-parter! I watched it entirely. This song has perplexed the shit out of me since I first heard it -- specifically, the two parts where they play circle 6 times. It always felt so cool to listen to, but I could never really seem to pin down exactly when it would happen. Listening to the song as you've laid it out, it makes total sense, but the end result of listening to the song without sitting down to figure out exactly how it's composed, really feels magical. Anyway, thanks again for investing all the time and effort that you did to make these videos. It's shame this is almost too niche of a topic and band, musically, to get all the views you deserve for this effort. Thanks again; I will definitely be revisiting these in attempt to tackle this song on guitar all these years later. =)

[@YogevGabay]

Oh man thanks! And yeah, Meshuggahs songs are always a treat to listen to and I love sitting down and discovering what's actually going on. I'm happy you enjoyed this! This song blew my mind and still does, and Meshuggah will be a band I'll DEFINITELY cover here more than once. Happy you like it!

Meshuggah is one of the most fascinating bands, for me. I've always liked how breaking down one of their songs feels a bit like decoding a crypted message. Once you have it it's so satisfying to play along ! And the way they focus on the pure rythm with very little melodic variation makes it quite hypnotic and pleasant to listen to. Thank you for making those videos, it's always very clear and entertaining at the same time.

[@Maxpen14]

That random C pattern in riff 3 HAS to be some kind of math puzzle! Wonder who could solve it...

[@DOTACeej]

I now understand why Tomas Hakke was worried he was never going to able to play this live.

[@Henry14arsenal2007]

The reason for the 2 seemingly random 6 "O"-s is because the riff resets itself into the same position after the first 3 of those 6 "O"-s. The riff plays 3 notes over that 3/4 "O" switching pattern, so each time you end up on a different note pitch. It plays F# - F - Eb. The F is played on the open 8th string while the other 2 notes are in a higher octave, but for the ease of explanation lets put them in the same octave, played on the 6th string, the pitches all fall within a minor third interval: 3-2-0. So we got this pattern: 333-3--222-2--000-0------333-3--222-2--000-0--333-3----- and so on, repeating over the beat with a note being shifted each time since its only 3 pitches but over either 3 or 4 "O"-s in the pattern as explained above. When the time comes for that random 6 group of "O"-s, it plays like this (for the sake of brevity i concatenated same pitches into a single digit): 0-3-2-0-3-2-- If you replace those "2"-s with "0"-s on the 8th string each time, you get the correct pitch of the song (in fact many tabs have it incorrectly tabbed as 0-3-2, but you can find the separate guitar track of Bleed on youtube and clearly hear its an open 8th string instead of 2 on the 6th). Those 6 digits are the 6 "O"-s of this video and the longer dashes in the end are the "X". It really makes sense when you learn the riff and comes very naturally after a while. In fact its surprising how a lot of the stuff in this song falls into place after you spend enough time honing it in. In the end, the hardest parts to nail down remain the bends in the riff, especially towards the ending because its hard to understand where exactly the bend starts and its different in length each time i believe.

[@YogevGabay]

Oh man this makes sense! I was thinking in t hat direction, but couldn't put my finger on it. Thanks!

This is called erudition and dedication.

Bless you and thank you Yogev for your opening statement. I have felt the same since 1998 when I first was captured by Meshuggah. I owe my entire drumming improvement and growth (and mind splitting) to these legends in Meshuggah.

A pure genius is a man who can explain very complicated things in a simple way. Well, I suppose you are genius. I am very far from making music, I don't even play any instrument, I'm just a listener. But you expleined it so easily and fascinatingly, that I couldn't stop watching this 2 videos about "Bleed". Thank you so much!

This is so good! Always loved their albums and tried counting in all sorts of ways. Now I really understand,. My head banging live has always been in 4 | 4. You just have to follow the singer…
