[@fluffymunchkin]

Meshuggah is just ultra-heavy defiant jazz.

[@tailong9548]

Correct. This music and much like it was born from the nwobhm movement in the eighties. That original sound can be traced back to blues scales and rhythms. Jazz was part of the blues. The universe flickers like a meshuggah rhythm or jazz rhythm. Interesting how the random still promotes some sort of pattern. Djent.

[@ianholmes6568]

And Thordendal has stated Allan Holdsworth to be a significant influence

What is actually epic about this meme is that there is a room reverb on the track with appropriate reflections for this room.

[@StankFernatra]

Interesting. If there's a resource where I could learn more about it, I'd be happy to check it out. No pressure to provide one, but I thought I'd ask.

[@juniorvicepresidentofzimba4946]

​@@StankFernatra Think of most modern reverbs as extremely complex and modulated delays. Basically it's an echo, but instead of echoing the source back as a repeat, it simulates all the tiny little reflections of an entire room and then sums them into what we perceive as a 'space'. For example, longer delays with high frequencies attenuated that take longer to dissipate sound something like a dark cave. Shorter delays with lots of high frequency reflections can sound like a polished tiled room. There's so many sneaky little sound design things in this. The low pass filter when the chubby bearded man is on with the addition of the tinnitus ring, the finger snapping and voices with the original music removed. I would bet whoever this is, is a sound designer, sound engineer or self-produced musician.
