I always describe Meshuggah as violently meditative. It's like Zen at the heart of an infernal machine
well said!
That is the best description of their music I've ever read.
Absobloodylultely mate..!
obZen )
Being you said that- think of this and listen to the song they have called "Broken Cog"
It took Tomas Haake more time to practice this song than the rest of the entire Obzen album.
Great reaction, love seeing you getting into Meshuggah.
You're in for a treat!
He said in an interview around the same time that he had to completely change his playing style just to pull off the hertas.
He also recorded it in chunks. Obviously can’t do that live.
Meshuggah turns everyone in the band into a percussionist. Even the vocals have a percussive punch. They are an amazing group!
Meshuggah is one of my favorite bands of all time, but I feel that "Bleed" puts people off Meshuggah. It's a technically impressive song, which is why everyone always reacts to it, but I think there are many, many more accessible and groovy tracks. "Bleed" will give you a sense of a cold, lifeless, mechanical clock (which was done intentionally, I'm sure), whereas the track "Clockworks" (ironically) sounds far more groovy and organic (partly because it was recorded live). Another great intro to Meshuggah is "Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion" -- suuuuuper groovy. More great heavy groove offerings: Do Not Look Down, Beneath, Suffer in Truth, Shed, Ligature Marks, and many more.
Most accessible track is New Millenium Cyanide Christ
I think Do Not Look Down w/ lyrics is a great introduction to Meshuggah.
Nothing albun is awesome
Amen to this - Bleed did set the standard for what it would sound to have cancer evolving mechanically inside your body, but OH MY GOD, how GROOOOOOOOOVY MESHUGGAH is by 99% of other songs - to me it is something orgastic trance when listening those 99% other songs
Haha, I feel the same :')
Bleed isn't exactly their best song in my opinion!
Better introductions are for sure :
- Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion
- New Millennium Cyanide Christ
- Do Not Look Down
- I Am Colossus
- Spasm
- Swarm
A good second song from Bleed is Demiurge, a rhythmically groovy masterpiece of Meshuggah's contructions, or Straws Pulled At Random.
Love the reactions BTW
This.
Awesome to see a vocalist so into drums as well as having an understanding of what's actually being done to accomplish what you're hearing. "Clockworks" drum playthrough is well worth a view. It's just Thomas....not a concert. Your reactions are awesome!! Keep it up!!
Funny how nobody mentions the bass player in this song. He provides 1/3 of the percussion sound !
And not only in this song! Thanks for crediting the bass :-)
Glad you liked Meshuggah. Please check out "New Millenium Cyanide Christ", the mixed time signature is very present in that song aswell.
One of my favorites because of the breakdown after the guitar solo. That song hits HARD.
And the video is awesome.
That’s my favorite too. The ending grooves so hard. “The Abysmal Eye” on their new album has a similar energy.
Also the video is AMAZING 😁👍
My favorite music video ever
Tomas also writes nearly all the lyrics. Rare for a drummer, but makes sense given all the weird beat patterns.
He was a Neil Peart fan, so it makes total sense.
Legend recognize Legend 🤘
Please, as a vocalist reactor, look into ANYTHING involving Mike Patton! His original band was Mr. Bungle, but he found "fame" as the front man of Faith No More. He is the 🐐 of vocalist, hands down! He made old Italian pop songs sound amazing!!!
Really? I always thought Faith No More came long before Mr. Bungle. I was jamming FNM in the mid 80s. Oh well who knew 🤔
@@markbrown7968 Mike had Bungle while Chuck Mosley was with FNM. They brought Mike in once Chuck was gone.
You heard irony is a dead scene with Dillinget Escape Plan? Badass! Mike Patton is pretty awesome, he has an entire album of him making noises and shit.
@@jamellelangfordiii3586 my favorite project of his is Tomahawk. Great songs but kinda short. God hates a Coward, & Captain Midnight, I would say are my favorites.
@@marcusjones6586 hell yeah! I used to work with Dave Lombardo's daughter, she always said Mike was always super cool!
Awesome reaction Aileen! What people don't realize is that this is in 4/4 time, it's the polyrhythms that through most of, and something has to be said for that guitar solo, such a well written song!
If you enjoy drums and polyrhythm, you really need to check out Ne Obliviscaris. A great place to start is And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope (Live In Colorado 2016)
This so much.
YUP
Or, Of Petrichor Weaves Black Noise. Everyone does Kaleidescope and I'm here for it but something dif than what everyone does would be cool too.
@@6ic6ic6ic I think Plague Flowers live is better for an opening to the band. It's not their best, but it's a great showcase. I think the Citadel album is better for everything
@@ReinhardtBII You're probably right with a new listener in mind it's just ppl react to it and don't typically follow it up with any of the other great works they have.
Oh my god, this reaction video gave me goosebumps! This is exactly what Meshuggah does to you! I'm so glad you listened to this. Tomas Haake is an amazing drummer. They have another drum playthrough video of 'Clockworks'. It's not a live video, but it's so good. I know you'll appreciate it.
Finally the day has come, Meshuggah 😄
Meshuggah are one of the most influential metal bands of the past 25 years.
Their compositions and their tightness as a unit have been so far ahead of their time ever since their inception.
As an example, the entire genre/movement of Djent was born out of numerous bands like Periphery and others trying to replicate Meshuggahs chuggy, brutal guitar tone, and their unique approach to songwriting.
Meshuggah are that kind of band that other metal musicians respect to high heaven and countless musicians life goal is just to become like 10% as good as them.
My absolute favourite band in the realm of heavy music.
Another prog metal band with a great drummer (all great musicians tbh): Mastodon
Much different style from Meshuggah, they are more stoner metal, but very prominent, jazzy drum playing throughout their catalogue.
Check out "The Last Baron" if you have the time for a 13 min song. It is soooo worth it.
Tomas Haake: Your favorite drummer's favorite drummer.
Welcome to one of swedens finest!
It is said it took drum genious Tomas Haake 6 months to learn this drum technique to be able to play Bleed. Its very tough.
Also fun is that on tour they have a young woman running the stagelight live. She ”plays” the lights live and in perfect sync with all those crazy time signatures. Hard and advanced music
Stay Metal!
🤘😎🤘
the "stink face" is inevitable with Meshuggah , soo awesome !!
Yeah, Meshuggah wrecks my brain. They're the right kind of heavy when I'm angry and frustrated, which is why I've listened to more of their stuff the last few days...but it's also why I haven't listened to them much. Even when I can headbang, I'm not totally sure I'm understanding what's happening.
I actually listen to this entire song for the first time earlier today, to be ready for this video. I was pleasantly surprised when the melodic guitar section kicked in. It's a nice break from the absolute beating that your skulll takes from the rest of the song. It's wild - I remember thinking I was 5 minutes into the song at one point, then I checked and it wasn't even 3 minutes 😅
It's funny how many bands you've listened to in the last couple weeks that have made you say "I'm so mad I haven't listened to them before".
a friend of mine had a party at his place once, maybe 6-7 years ago. And Tomas Haake was there. And i've never met a more down to earth guy, when you spoke to him about Meshuggah or how good he actually is. He didnt really like to hear that stuff. He just wanted to get drunk and have fun. And i rly respect him for that.
Also, you’d love Sepultura’s Eloy Casagrande “Means to an End”. It’s mind blowing in a very different way. Metal has some of the best and unique drummers on the planet.
You really picked up on them fast. Of course you've been listening to all that Tool, has to help. Most people really have to work at getting their vibe, I'm pretty impressed. Great reaction!
10:37 Is one of the most bone-ratllingly, mind-crushingly and hilariously brutally heavy moments in any song ever. It's even 1000x more insane on the studio version.
Meshuggah is the best band in Sweden in this genre imo. Tomas Haake is actually a professor in drumming. They're so incredible tight together. Without Meshuggah a lot of bands wouldn't exist today. They're such an inspiration to so many people! Great reaction!❤
"I feel like he has something up his sleeve".... The whole song is up his sleeve!!!
Metal is really meditative, isn't it? A lot of therapy in that music and you can tell how intense these guys are, and how like engines their music is. It's got to be precise, driving and, yet, easy to listen to, if that makes sense. Thanks for your insightful reactions, knowledge of music and, of course, how lovely you are. : ) 🌺
Meshuggah are so fucking awesome! Make sure to check out "Dancers to a Discordant System" from the same album aswell! They recently released a new banger album too
I know it's about bleeding to death, but I always thought this perfectly described each member of this band playing/singing this song. They all BLEED!
More Meshuggah please. They are one of the greatest live bands of all time!
Absolutely!!! Gotta throw in Rational Gaze
this is just insane! i love meshuggah so much...one of my favourite bands. there is an interview with thomas haake, in which he also speaks about this song and how much exercise it takes to play this drumbeat. he is such a machine!
This song is so good! Its the first meshuggah song I listened to and I've been addicted ever since 🤘
I love that they created this song to sound like one described an aneuyrism. Like Haake sayed himself:"An aneurysm in your head killing you, and how you're transformed from a living being into dying. It's written in a lot of metaphors." So you can fell it in this up and down swelling at the end, driving you into insanity before death.
"close your eyes and ride the ryhthm" love that quote
Aileen that dinosaur in the audience is chicken suit guy! He goes to all the shows at the Fillmore in Silver Spring, MD. Awesome dude. There's also a guy in a wheelchair that crowd surfs at all their shows at the venue. Meshuggah have given shout outs to them both!
It was fun watching you groove to this song. Ive been a metal head for years and just started listening to them. The polyrhythms and the way you are riding a sonic wave in this song is amazing.
My favorite hobby: Looking up Meshuggah - Bleed reactions and watching the peerson that reacts trying to find a rythm to move their head to XD
I'm new to your channel but 17 seconds into this video you had me. Yes I play drums 🥁 and have my entire life so when you said that you love drums you had I new subscriber that same second 😄 I'm not a meshuggah fan but I love Tomas Haake 🤟😎🤟 Thank you for this reaction and my new favorite reaction channel. Take care and have a wonderful day. Hugs from Sweden 💖 🇸🇪
Death - Lack of Comprehension - Live in Eindhoven '98
Amazing band, and amazing drummer.
Meshuggah is my zen band. My favorite prog and djent bands. The drumming in this song is insane love your reactions. 🤘🤘. Your reactions always put a smile on my face. Never change. Keep it up.
Thanks for reacting to my favorite band, your a true djentleman
top tier comment ^^^
‘When it’s gonna happen’
Huh? It’s happening the entire time. That’s the point of Meshuggah, generally; but emphasized in this track. The relentlessness!
the Drummer, Tomas Haake, is married to an Actress from orange is the new black, and she is also a vocalist in a metal band.
The face you make at 5:44 is definitely one we have all made when listening to Meshuggah lol. It's pure filth, but in a great way 😂
He is the definition of a drum god!!!
Ah so cool! This will be so interesting to see what you think about it. 🤗
So the cool thing about this song is that it's basically entirely in 4/4 (aside from a few 2/4 breaks in a couple spots) The start of the song makes it super clear because the cymbal is keeping the time with the snare hitting on beat 3. What makes it feel like it's constantly changing is just breaking up the rhythm and starting on off beats. But if you were to count the whole song in 4, you would get a clear picture of how it lines up. (You can also look at guitar tabs online to understand what's happening)
Next Meshuggah Song Suggestion: I (21-minute track) It is an absolute gauntlet and almost never lets up. It's absolutely insane and isn't talked about enough
Yes! 🤘🏻 Meshuggah is my absolute favorite band. First time I heard this song I was like, what?! Then I saw them perform it live and I was done. The amount of talent this band has is just insane. I hope you react to more by them. I love this song but imo it doesn’t really represent what the band is all about as a whole. If you want a little bit more straight forward then Demiurge is a great song. Do Not Look Down, New Millennium Cyanide Christ, Rational Gaze, Dancers To A Discordant System…and the list goes on, they have such an amazing discography so it’s kinda hard to suggest…at least for me, love all their songs. Looking forward to the next one! 🤙🏻
Haake is ALWAYS perfect live. He missed NOTHING in this video. With Meshuggah, what you hear on studio album is what you hear on stage. With all the syncopation going on...ANY mistake makes the song an instant train wreck. There is no room for errors in this style of music.
@@ChiefThundrecock no lie detected in your comment
now with "phantoms" they have made a song that requires such precision to play that they won't ever perform it live (source: tomas haake somewhere in an interview)
'Clockworks'. That song is just next level Meshuggah craziness.
Missed the premiere, loved the video! It’s really easy to get sucked into this song. As you said, it’s actually very relaxing even at full throttle. If you ever want to see something really funny, Bill Burr has a funny story about seeing these guys live with his drum instructor.
I understand it took Tomas more than 6 moths to reach the level of mastery necessary to play this live. The precision is incredible. His limb separation is beyond belief, playing hertas with his feet and off-beat triplets with his hands!
Going to bed listing to metal gets out all my access energy and lets me fall asleep much faster.. drowns out all the things in my mind and puts me at ease.
My favourite band of all time. The most rhythmical, technical, djenty powerhouse in all of music.
The drum cam for Clockworks is otherworldly.
I seen them for the 1st time at ozzfest somewhere between 2004 -2006 & what stuck out to me was how the drummer sounds like he is playing out of time in a way like he is playing purposely in between the time signatures..... it has a very interesting sound to it very unique
Dig deeper into Meshuggah, I love this song but check out more of them. Rational Gaze, dancers to a discordant system, closed eyes Visuals, future breed machine, pravus, the mouth licking what you’ve bled to name a few
All awesome suggestions! I Am Colossus is another killer track I always come back to
@@daetros1626 thank you!! They are one of my favorite bands. There is heavy and then there is Meshuggah!! 👍🏻🤘🏻
You could listen to contradictions collapse too, give you a different side of meshuggah, also shows how they progressed into their style.
God I love Rational Gaze
@@johnarchibald6 my favorite Meshuggah song
Those drums are so fucking good. God damn.
Ghost: Infestissumam/ Per Aspera live Argentina 2014.
It's an absolutely explosive opener to a concert.
There’s a video that breaks down the technical rhythm of the drums. It’s something that can’t be described. Absolutely outstanding
You might love Meshuggah`s "Clockworks"! 😁🤘 Thomas Haake is a beast, Meshuggah come from northern Sweden and to me they seem like the ancesters of these vikings who simply were to lazy to go south and kick some ass! Alas, "Clockworks" (there also is some drum cover video, but the official video is Ok as this also was recorded in a kind of session) is a huge bunch of different rhythms put together in an insane rollercoaster ride. And - there is the most impressive build-up in metal history!!! 😀👍😆🤘
He's playing 4/4 with his hands and 7/8 and 5/6 with his feet. It's insane what he's doing. We enjoy it because he's flawless, but we should hate the sound of it. He's that good.
"I'm excited for the when its gonna happen".
Me: Miss, its already happening. its been happening since the beginning. Do you not see his feet and the poly-rhythm. Dudes a machine.
That’s what I thought
Meshuggah is absolutely insane in every way!! They are all machines especially Tomas Haake. You have gained a new subscriber. It’s amazing to see a lovely woman who is into heavy metal! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥☺️😉😊
Awesome! Thank you!
I knew when you would eventually get to this song you're gonna choose this version which is great cz i know how much you love drums 🔥🤘🏻
The Clockworks play through is worth the watch as well.
I'm not sure if i watched this one but probably will
the tightness of this band live comes from the click track that everyone have in there in ear monitor. even the effects of the guitars are programmed to this click track, so you dont see any step dance on a pedal board.
Someone slowed down the video and it made it so much more heavier and more evil. It’s amazing!
Me: *sees you're reacting to Bleed*
"I love drums."
Me: "Actually, there's a video focused specifically on Tomas Haake and it's--"
*video starts*
Me: "Oh, nevermind then. You're in for a treat."
I respect Meshuggah so much. It's a bit of a coin toss if I ever get into any given music they release since they are just beyond my normal music taste, but damn, they can play. I've seen them in concert and it was just an assault on my entire being (in the very best sense). The near-unrelenting intensity of their music makes for a fantastic live experience even if you're not into their setlist from the start. I just love it when you can feel live music in your bones, and yeah, you can feel Meshuggah in your bones.
Have you heard of Cult of Luna? They're not similar to Meshuggah in any particular way (aside from being from the same Swedish "birthplace of so much amazing metal" town, I guess), but they are another band that I just love seeing live. I become completely entranced whenever I see and hear them. Superb alternative/post-metal. I can really recommend songs like Following Betulas, Ghost Trail, and Dark City, Dead Man.
Also, a funny thing to relate to your love of drums: seeing Cult of Luna live was the first time I ever saw a band have two drummers share the stage with their own drum kits to handle the craziness that was happening. They are *legit*.
Tomas Haake is the drummer. He’s one of the best metal, if not of all types of music, drummers ever. The music is pretty much 4/4 time signature but he makes it REALLY interesting by using polyrhythms. Pretty much his beats are very intricate but they all line up to a steady 4/4
As a guitarist I've played around on the drums quite a bit. I have to agree about how hard it is to keep all your limbs going in perfect time and strength. But I think with practice, I might've been a good drummer.
Glad you watched it live but the official video is pretty fuckin rad too
Welcome to the fantastic family of Meshuggah fans. I've been following them since 1994 and I have very little to complain about. They seem to, with each album, reinvent their own style in a new direction. They have been an amazing ride for me, and I hope you will take some time and listen through their whole discography and have an amazing ride as well.
I'm so glad I found your channel.
A woman who finds Meshuggah relaxing.
I think I'm in love lol.
Thomas Haake plays two different time signatures while he plays. One signature in his hands and another in his feet.
There we go! I love seeing the look on peoples faces when they realize it sounds like upstairs and downstairs are not playing the same song. I find this song to be very powerful, but it hits me harder than most. If you didn’t know, this song is about a brain aneurysm rupturing(just read the lyrics). About 10 years ago I was experiencing extreme migraines and they mainly effected the left side of my head. After many tests/images were performed, they showed nothing was wrong on the left side, but they discovered an aneurysm on the right. That news was depressing and forced me to face my own mortality. This song helped me accept my little friend and find peace with what will probably be the cause of my death one day. I see you are about to get into “Orbit Culture” and I can wait to see you experience my favorite band.
as a guitar player that most of my influence comes from meshuggah i get what you mean when you say they are relaxing, thats why i love them so much when i learn a song from them and can play along to the songs it puts you in such a state of flow and peace thats like nothing else i've experianced.
Sometimes metal is relaxing to me. It's an outlet when I'm feeling pent up. It often has the opposite effect, though, and gets my blood pumping and I want to fight someone.
VERY impressed with your open minded attitude towards metal. Metal has a LOT of subgenres and can be quite a turn off for many people but not you! Great to get your insight into it as I would expect your experience to be different to mine as I grew up listening to metal very young (36 today).
That's a cool setting 😎
Everything in Meshuggash including vocals work as part of the rhythm soundscape. They are masters of polyrhythm as you found out that Haake is playing 2 different patterns in kick drums and snare.
so heavy but equally groovy at the same time
Oddly enough I even find it kind of relaxing. And I don't even listen to heavier types of metal usually. Something almost hypnotic about this one.
Tomas said in an interview that he had to take the time to rework his drumming style in order to be able to play this song. The guitarists wrote the song a long time ago but it was never recorded until ObZen because Tomas couldn't do it. He said he basically had to learn how to tap dance in order to play the song.
It's funny that your heart rate drops when listening to this. I'm pretty sure mine does too. Most people outside of metal would expect the opposite, but it's very calming, especially meshuggah since they tend to have this droning, repetitive vibe, in a good way.
such an unbelievable and technical achievement by everyone involved to pull off this shit. eye would recommend the video to Demiurge.
Can't say it enough I love your reactions ❣️
Thank you so much! ❤️
Yes just please more metal please
Thomas Haake smashing skins with the best of them. The guy must have calf muscles of the gods to keep that kind of bass drum rhythm. 🥁 🥁
People react to this drumming like they do because even the professional drummers are amazed of the difficulty of this song to play. The main reason being the continual "herta" double base patterns during the song. Apparently it took him 6 months to learn it.
Just wanted to recommend my favorite band between the buried and me! They’re absolutely my favorite progressive metal band.
Tomas Haake should be #1 on your list ;)!
You understand it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No more need to be said.....
said in an interview that it took him at least 3 to 6 months to re teach himself to play drums for THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my new favorite reaction channel😉
Meshuggah - Clockworks Drum playthrough !!
what I most love about this song is how weird the time signature is.
Listening to Meshuggah is like having a corkscrew slowly spun into the middle of your forehead... but in a good way.
Do more Meshuggah! Any drumcam vid, or really any song.
Obzen - Djenty and reminds me of Periphery and good for first getting into Meshuggah.
The Violent Sleep of Reason - Like dark tribal machines chugging through space. Reminds me of Vildhjarta and Humanity's Last breath but their Dad.
Koloss - Gojira but more raw.
Nothing - This is where the memes come from
Catch 33 - it's one song
Chaosphere - Reminds me of Slipknot's crazier step cousin
New album Immutable is fantastic as well.
Rhythmical masters and have a rightful place on Metal Mt Rushmore IMO
I highly suggest that you check out "Rational Gaze" and "Clockworks" from them next. You would be blown away by their technical prowess
Riding the rythm is such a good phrase. 🤟
Aileen, you're dappling into black deaf metal. Meshuga is a deaf metal group from Switzerland and they take metal to some very dark places. But they have more talent in one finger than I have in my whole body. Especially Thomas Hawwke, the drummer that doesn't need beer kegs or kettle drums to sound like a drum god.
