@@arnoldronald3044 trust me, cuz I've met him, Jens is nothing but a large teddybear. Met him earlier this year, he was super chill and very nice, typical semi-old northern swedish man vibes. Back in the day he was much more explosive, but now he has calmed down.
Ive seen them twice, both times in theatres, which is absolutely insane with the lights.... they are the best sounding live band I have ever seen live. Everything is super dialed in, theres space in the mix, its not muddy, those no obnoxious frequencies over top of everything. Its perfect. I have seen so many big time metal bands too and no one really comes close to sounding as perfect and huge as Meshuggah does.
I think the longevity of this band depends heavily on how long Thomas Haake can remain rock solid behind that drum kit because my god hes so consistent and robotlike every single time.
Similar to Phil Selway of Radiohead. Human metronomes. Meshuggah and Radiohead, the 2 greatest current bands in the world. They didn't stand the test of time, they wrote the damn thing
actually you can hear him struggling a bit with the kicks in this recording. but it may be forgiven. you don't notice that with a bunch of beers in the belly moshing around like a madman.
@@OfficialArthusamakh Yup. Seen other clips (and also seen live). Even if he misses or struggling he always keep it together in the end. They've been touring since spring 2022, there is not many metal drummers out there performing at the Haake standard, night after night. Incredible, and when thinking about the issues he have both with his back/right leg and his palms noone can fault him for missing a beat or struggling with a Bleed-like effort on the bass drums.
@@andrewoverhere8525 Thats a quite uninformed statement Youve made there - especially considering the fact Radiohead arent even currently doing anything together.
90% of the sound is the result of the musicians who's playing there instruments with brio and skills, this IS the result of very very very good musicians who knows perfectly each others . Spécial thanks to Frédéric Thordendal and Allan Holdsworth inspiration
@@matounet45 oh absolutely, you're totally right on that. I just remember seeing some bands on that very stage before, all masters of their craft, but uhhhh....'questionable' ability to actually hear what they are doing xD
Meshuggah always have this top notch quality sound when they play huge live. the band knows the formula in live mixing. Animals As Leaders are a close second in sound quality when they perform live.
I saw them live for the first time in 1996, Blokhut in Rotterdam, I think with Hyprocisy as opener. If there were 50 people in attendence it was a lot. They still played their black/neon green UV's. One of the best shows I have ever seen and they only got better from there on, was a sick evening!
@Ryan80880 the downside of having seen a lot of bands in their starting years is that I am old now 😂 On a serious note: I know what you mean, I had the same with bands that were big when I was a teenager.
Whatever happens in our lifetime, we can feel damn fortunate about one thing at least -- to have been alive at the same time as the decades-unfolding phenomenon that has been Meshuggah.
I loved how Tomas Haake kept his eyes closed throughout the entire set so he remained in maximum concentration. Its probably why they didn't have Bleed in their setlist that night.
@@alee7275 Okay I had to come back to your comment to tell you what I experienced. Holy shit, just their presence seemed like they were some kind of nordic metal gods summoned from another dimension. They fuckin owned that space and got us hyped without acting over-the-top, and I have no explanation for how they did it. They mostly just stood there (aside from normal headbanging, of course), exuded this other-dimension energy, did their thing, and we went fuckin nuts. ESPECIALLY when they did Bleed as the encore. This was only my second metal show ever (seen 7 bands total between two shows), but I still conclude that they're built different. I have to give props to Lamb of God though bc they gave a spectacular performance at my first show that I'll never forget, but I even feel like comparing LoG's and Meshuggah's performances are like apples and oranges despite them both being metal bands.
@@annareeves9912 I couldn’t have said it better myself. They are just on another level. Other dimension is a perfect description :) I’m glad you enjoyed it. But, I’m also incredibly jealous. I saw them here in Switzerland a few months ago. Last year too. They haven’t had Bleed in their set for sometime 😭
Man!... This is like the most incredible Meshuggah video ever... "The Abysmal Eye" live and pro shot! It can't get any better than this... also the performance is amazing, Jens vocals are perfect, they sound exactly the same as on the album and Tomas's drum performance is on point. Guitars and bass sound super clear and heavy and the light show is amazing! Hope to see Meshuggah touring in Argentina, South America! Cheers! 🤘
I asked Jens at the tent there if he said he would come to Australia and he said it's hard because travel is too expensive, so might be the same problem with south America unfortunately@@Michel-uc6ue
@@Michel-uc6ue Yes! I can not wait for them to come to Argentina, it would be my 4th time seeing them and this latest album is a freaking bomb so I want to see that live!
the greatest extreme metal band of all time. the originators. I saw them live with this lineup years ago. Best live show i've ever seen/heard. It was like a religious experience.
@bloodstock if this is your guys own production I gotta say that it's the best live video I've seen from a festival, big props to the hole crew who put this together.
I’ve been a fan of Meshuggah since I first heard them back in the 90s, and it’s absolutely badass that they’re still fucking tearing it up! This is easily one of my favorites from them, it’s just a o damn catchy! 🤘🏻
Been hearing Meshuggah for more than seven years, though I have yet to see them live. Their instrumentation combined with the synchronized lighting already convinced me to keep listening to the complex and rhythmic challenging material such as ObZen, Catch Thirty-three and The Violent Sleep 🔥🔥
Amazing performance, but maybe you should have educated the editor more, we know the drummer is the star of the band, but not even showing fredrik during his iconic solo? And it was super-zoomed in shots as well cmon guys :(
Some metal bands can’t barely keep up with age. Meshuggah just keeps getting better. Saw them last year (for the 9th time). HOW CAN THEY CONSTANTLY GET BETTER LIVE?
These guys never cease to amaze me what a band ! I've seen them live twice extraordinary band really one of a kind energy ! lotso copycats out there tune low play some chugs but you can't be better than the originals :)
Was there in the front and it was incredible, had an absolute blast, one of the highlight of the festival this year for me, what a show!! This video was very well shot and edited, thanks for that Bloodstock, great to watch again!

We need this full concert, please 🙌

Yessss
yeesss
Yes please❤
Yes
These guys are in their 50s btw doing this
One of the best of all time
These men are like good wine. The older the better🤩😁
Jens is 57, insane.
I like Jens. But I'm kinda scared of him

@@arnoldronald3044I mean he's intimidating as fuck
this sounds EXACTLY like a studio version. INSANE
It's so close that for a while I genuinely thought it WAS the studio version.
Even better than the studio version!
The way they sound live is just ridiculous, I came to see a live perf, not the album 😂
Much better than the studio version.
Ive seen them twice, both times in theatres, which is absolutely insane with the lights.... they are the best sounding live band I have ever seen live. Everything is super dialed in, theres space in the mix, its not muddy, those no obnoxious frequencies over top of everything. Its perfect.
I have seen so many big time metal bands too and no one really comes close to sounding as perfect and huge as Meshuggah does.
There is going to be a time when Meshuggah isn't around anymore and the world might as well end at that point.
We arent far off both so yea basically
I think the longevity of this band depends heavily on how long Thomas Haake can remain rock solid behind that drum kit because my god hes so consistent and robotlike every single time.
Was just thinking the same. These old men are pushing it with this one 😆

The mix sounds really good. It has no business sounding this good. Big applaud for the mixing engineer.
Last few years Bloodstock have been smashing it mix wise. Wasn't that way first few times I went 😂
90% of the sound is the result of the musicians who's playing there instruments with brio and skills, this IS the result of very very very good musicians who knows perfectly each others . Spécial thanks to Frédéric Thordendal and Allan Holdsworth inspiration
@@matounet45 oh absolutely, you're totally right on that. I just remember seeing some bands on that very stage before, all masters of their craft, but uhhhh....'questionable' ability to actually hear what they are doing xD
They definitely mix the audio source when making this video. The mix would be different in a live concert due to acoustics.
Meshuggah always have this top notch quality sound when they play huge live. the band knows the formula in live mixing. Animals As Leaders are a close second in sound quality when they perform live.
When Bill Burr said witnessing Meshuggah live is an life altering experience. He wasn't joking. What a show!
I saw them live for the first time in 1996, Blokhut in Rotterdam, I think with Hyprocisy as opener. If there were 50 people in attendence it was a lot. They still played their black/neon green UV's. One of the best shows I have ever seen and they only got better from there on, was a sick evening!
It's absolutely on a whole 'nother level from any other band.
@@renespeksnijder8815I would give anything to be born again a generation before me just to witness these guys underground

The kick rhythm during the solo at 3:08…INSANITY
chills bro
made me spill myself on myself
I loved how Tomas Haake kept his eyes closed throughout the entire set so he remained in maximum concentration.
Its probably why they didn't have Bleed in their setlist that night.
They haven't played Bleed for a few years now, since COVID they have basically performed the same setlist.
They played Bleed as one of their encores at their Berlin gig on March 16 and it was sublime!
@@gergonikk this is just straight up wrong their europe march tour from this year had bleed in almost every setlist
Beardshuggah is my absolute favorite version of this band.
White ass Santa Beard arc
My favorite jazz band!😇
With my favourite rapper!
See them live. Nothing I say can do it justice. Unbelievable.
Amen
I'll be seeing them for the first time next week!
@@annareeves9912 Don’t want to talk it up too much… But personally… Meshuggah has ruined other bands live performances for me. Period.

This sounded incredible. These guys are legends.
My god, Edvard Hansson is absolutely the best in the business and it's not even close. 👏👏👏👏👏
WOW. I would pay good money to have this full show in this quality with this editing. SPECTACULAR.
Tomorrow night at 7!
We definitely need the full concert. Meshuggah was the one I looked forward to the most throughout that weekend and they blew me away.
Full set is on You Tube Sat 11th November at 7pm.
This is my favorite Meshuggah song right now. 🙏🏻
Mixing sounds better than on the album! Can't wait to see these guys perform
Jesus Christ, what a sledgehammer. So glad to see pro-shot stuff from Meshuggah.
Hope you guys upload more from this show, greatly appreciated!
I hope we get the full concert. Always a phenomenal performance
Best metal band of all time !
@bloodstock if this is your guys own production I gotta say that it's the best live video I've seen from a festival, big props to the hole crew who put this together.
How many shots do you want of Tomas? YES
Can never have too many shots of Tomas.
He’s getting old

Congrats to those that shot, edited and mixed this. It's a work of art and we need the full concert!

Seeing them in 3 weeks Seattle can’t wait! Saw them 22 years ago open for Tool.:)
For the love of god pls upload the full set 😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏
Reading descriptions is very useful
fredrik's line at 0:30 is my favorite lead part of their entire discography. somehow makes major chords sound terrifying. haunting as shit
This band is unbelievable… its so unreal and crazy. The real real best band of all time! Long live Meshuggah 🤘🤘🤘
Please bloodstock we have to have more of this. What an awesome video.
Fuck yeah! Finally a pro shot of this tour! :D
Been hearing Meshuggah for more than seven years, though I have yet to see them live. Their instrumentation combined with the synchronized lighting already convinced me to keep listening to the complex and rhythmic challenging material such as ObZen, Catch Thirty-three and The Violent Sleep 🔥🔥
The breakdown of this song always has me losing my shit. Meshuggah, gods of metal, none the heavier.
Stay healthy boys. Crazy seeing old heads still going this strong. Seeing them again this month. Take care of yourselves ❤️
Definitely the best metal band. Fan since the beginning ❤
Tomas Haake, the human drum machine 🥁🦾🦿
These guys really are just top notch. They sound studio! Phenomenal!
Amazing performance, but maybe you should have educated the editor more, we know the drummer is the star of the band, but not even showing fredrik during his iconic solo? And it was super-zoomed in shots as well cmon guys :(
I NEED THE FULL SHOOOOW
The mix on this is freaking awesome!
November 11th cannot come soon enough. 👍
Best live mix I've ever heard ! Unbelievable! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
HOLY GOD JESUS CHRIST
Furiously banging my head to this
So tightly locked in
The lights are holy shit
My favorite metal band. Incredible!
Guitars are a bit muddy, but finally Tomas is more in front. MESHUGGAH is the best band ever. Pozdro666
This isn't even my fav song off this album, but they are such brutes that they make it sound awesome live!
an absolutely maniacal song.

Listen to this before going to bed makes your beard grows twice faster

Seen them on the Immutable tour both in Dublin and in Stockholm. Excellent video! I. Want. More.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I WAS THERE AND IT WAS AWESOME AND IM SO HAPPY THAT IT'S FINALLY OUT!!!
Favourite show I have ever been to! Absolutely amazing band. 🤘
Wow. Just wow. Unreal to be so spot on live.
Some metal bands can’t barely keep up with age. Meshuggah just keeps getting better. Saw them last year (for the 9th time). HOW CAN THEY CONSTANTLY GET BETTER LIVE?
Man this is cooler than the Artic breeze and I’d love to see more of this if not all of it please!!!🤘🔥
There are very few bands that make the pit absolutely explode on the very first note the way Meshuggah does 💥
upload the full thing, future breed machine was so good to hear!
Sounds epic full live album and concert video? You know it makes sense
after all these years they still sound so tight live
That mix is top notch. Can’t wait to see them in December
Yes!
These Boys Go Hard AF Live 🔥🔥🤘🏽🤯
It's even better live...
Like by soooo much...
Legends.
I was front row right under Jens and Fredrik, best experience of my life 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I can feel the world crushing down at 4:15
I love those David Lynch effects the video has, long live Meshuggah!
That was so amazing I remember being right at the front and getting bodies flying over me every 10 seconds
Very good sound and performance hope to see the full set
Please also credit the people who shot and edited this video, it is impeccable!
And of course, go see Meshuggah live, the show will blow your mind.
HOLY MIXING!!! GREAT
This soundboard audio is SO HUGE!
from 2:18 onward, it just keep coming with each part into the next

Superb, one of the best shows seen at BOA
Almost fell into a trance 😂🤘🔥
