Gojira have Meshuggah to be thankful for. Meshuggah influenced them and so many others over the last 20 years. The most influential metal band over the last 20 years.
Right, probably with Chaosphere I would say, although I think the second mix of Nothing with the 8 strings really changed a lot of things and brought all these Djent bands or other bands like Gojira.
You are are going to get a lot suggestions for Bleed. Do the full 7 min version. The live drum cam one is a must watch to appreciate the polyrhythm difference between his foot work and his drumming up top with his hands. I also love break those bones whose sinews gave it motion. Such weirdly beautiful rhythms in that one. New Millennium Cyanide Christ official vid, lol
Meshuggah is the band that “founded” djent. Straws pulled at random is a great song as well, most people know bleed, demiurge is heavy and groovy, and the demons name is surveillance is fast paced
It's Gojira vibe? Man, You don't have Gojira if Meshuggah didn't exist ^^. Even if I'm a French and proud to have a band so known in the world, Meshuggah was there before and Gojira is a technical baby next to them. All the bands like Gojira or Djent bands etc are here because of Meshuggah. And you right The drums lead, he composed most of the time and guitars players follow the beat.
Who cares Meshuggah existed before Gojira, how is that relevant? I immediately thought of Gojira when hearing the intro of this track, it’s a rythm/technique they used a lot on their Way of All flesh and L’ enfant Sauvage albums. So no surprise it may remind people of Gojira right. ‘All the bands like Gojira’, well there actually is no other band like them, they, just like Meshuggah have created their own sound, and would have definitely existed without them, although, i’m sure Mario or the band in general has taken inspiration of their technical aspect and tempo changes, just like Meshuggah was inspired by other bands. And to call Gojira a technical baby next to them, is also a bit laughable. Although Meshuggah will probably never be topped in that sector, because that’s really their thing, and they are the tightest to do so, (i hear their live sets are one hell of an experience, that much even Danny Carey was gobsmacked after seeing them live), but to minimize Gojira’s technical ability is just not right and it’s actually also not only what they’re about. They’re just different bands, why compare them… Peace✌
Meshuggah have been around since 1987 and still brutally kicking ass in their fifties. The upcoming album is going to be their 9th. They created djent and math metal. Sounds very Gojira sounding? Well yes they have heavily influenced many bands that are well-known today like Gojira. If you finally start reacting to Meshuggah... Oh boy there is no turning back. Their whole catalog is full of amazing unique music. That being said... Out of all the great bands I listen to Meshuggah is my all time favourite band. For next reaction I would suggest you to react to one of their classics "Pravus" (live from Tokyo). Or Violent Sleep Of Reason (studio version)
Meshuggah came long before Gojira, therefore Gojira sounds like Meshuggah. This song rocketed to the top of my favorite Meshuggah songs along with Future Breed Machine, I Am Colossus, Qualms of Reality, and New Millennium Cyanide Christ. This song is so freaking heavy.
This is my absolute favorite band. 🤘🏻🔥Their discography is god tier from start to finish. They are even better live. Definitely check out more by them. Future Breed Machine was my introduction to Meshuggah.
Dude, this has been my favorite band for the past 20 years (since "Nothing" came out). I am so goddamn jealous of you. I wish I could experience this band for the first time again. Glad you enjoyed it! I'll be looking out for the other 'Shug reactions \m/
nothing is my fave album. i like them all, but the tuning, the eventual introduction of the 8 string guitatrs, i feel like the meshuggah we know today started with nothing.
I'm 50 & they rule, thats why my kid thinks I'm coolest dad ever but he already knew that when I dragged him to a couple of Killswitch Engage concerts, awhile back!
Get ready to be spammed with Meshuggah requests😂 they're an amazing band though so it's justified. They have a song called Dehumanization and the breakdown is honestly the heaviest thing I've ever heard, it's beautiful. Their drummer is a genius too, not only does he absolutely smash it on drums but he writes the lyrics and even the phrasing too.
I know everyone's saying react to Bleed but you should consider listening to Straws Pulled at Random and Cadeverous Mastication. Couple of their oldies with some sweet melodic guitar solos
Meshuggah and along Fear Factory are the stepping stone for 30 years worth in bands like Periphery,Tesseract, After the Burial,Veil of Maya, Elitist, born of Osiris ect many many more bands both fear factory and meshuggah started in the late 80s early 90s and have been paving the way for bands til this day.
Gods of Rapture, and Ritual - Meshuggah from a None EP (1994) at that time is different style but still sound groovy and it's had kind of atmosphere sounding
The answer to "what is that sound?" is tonal shit being done with guitars that few/no other bands can pull off. I used to think guitar solos were boring until the twisted facemelters that Meshuggah delivered made me excited for them again.
So, my list of all good Meshuggah track to react to : Future Bread Machine (from the album Destroy Erease Improve ) Rational Gaze (from the album Nothing) New Millenium Cynide Christ (from the album Chaosphere) Bleed (from the album Obzen, make sure to react to the full 7 min version, not the clip which is only 4 min long) Demiurge (from the album Koloss) Clockworks (from the album The Violent Sleep Of reason ) One song per album, from old to new, this will give you a first look of how each album sounds Then you have : I Am colossus Behind The Sun Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion Combustion Lethargica Obzen Pravus Dancer To A Discordant System Stengah Perpetual Black Second Straws Pulled At Random Soul Burn Concatenation Corrido Of Chameleons Born in Dissonance Nostrum Thoses are the the songs i would recommend before what will follow next The whole Cath 33 Album this is a concept album about paradox, 13 songs that all goes together making a one big song, if you react to this, you have to make The whole Album in one reaction The EP "I" This is for me their greatest works, the EP is only one song, called : I but be carefull, don't start by this song, you have to know a lot about Meshuggah before trying to listen to this Enjoy and welcome to the great wolrd of Meshuggah
And then if they come thru a city near you, you buy the tickets and you see it live and you realize you could not have lived another day without having witnessed what you just witnessed.
gojira kinda sounds like meshuggah actually :D , nice vid :D, ( 2:39 ) if u pay attention, the rythim of the guitarrs and bass drums are changing every single time, they never do the same :p
Hey, imo Bleed is entry level meshuggah song. If you feel like it, hit youserlf with the ep called "I" Cool reaction :) Always cool to have new people liking meshuggah the godfathers of a lot of metal bands.
I was big into Meshuggah around 20 or more years ago when they were more thrash metal fast paced rhythm gods. I liked chaosphere and destroy erase improve albums the best. Try their sounds New Millinium Cyanide Christ or Future Breed Machine!!
Anyone who reccomends Bleed has never listened to another Meshuggah song in their life. Bleed is good. But it's SEVERELY overrated. Lots of other fantastic songs by Meshuggah out there. And i am forever grateful to you for choosing literally ANYTHING ELSE for your first impression of them.
I love their sound and the drum patterns. Unfortunately for me, i can't seem to get into the vocals. It sounds too monotone for my brain. I would struggle listening to them for an entire concert, even though i love the music.
Welcome to meshuggah hope u enjoy there music listen to catch 33 from beginning to end and don't you ever compare meshuggah to gojira u compare the opposite
Please for the love of God dont react to Bleed. just listen to it and get it out of the way in your free time. There are far more fun & extremely technical songs in every album by Meshuggah that deserve attention.

Truth
30 years * :)
@@vinikamatv2309 well they're around 30 years but it's about 20 or so when they started to influence metal the way they have.
While we all have lots of bands who influence still, we all rip off Meshuggah!
Right, probably with Chaosphere I would say, although I think the second mix of Nothing with the 8 strings really changed a lot of things and brought all these Djent bands or other bands like Gojira.

Straws pulled at random has some beautiful bits in there and it’s one of my favorites
Yes and yes.
The Gojira-like intro at the beginning is actually a Meshuggah-like intro. Gojira took Meshuggah's (founded: 1987) style and made it their own
I was about to type that, but first scanned the comments since I was sure someone else would say that.
Meshuggah is the band that “founded” djent. Straws pulled at random is a great song as well, most people know bleed, demiurge is heavy and groovy, and the demons name is surveillance is fast paced

Gojira are not djent, at all
@@seanroberts5915 I didn't say Gojira is djent, I said Meshuggah inspired the djent style and also bands like Gojira.
I love the OGs and Gojira owes them something. But Gojira is 99% memorable where a lot of Meshuggah is a cool exercise. Great tune tho!
@@guitearist And I think totally the opposite aha but all tastes are in nature ^^

I am SOOOOOO excited for this new album OMG!! I cannot wait.
This song is classic Meshuggah and I am here for all of it!
You have a lot to look forward to my friend, my pick to check out next is Demiurge from their Koloss album
Meshuggah came long before Gojira, therefore Gojira sounds like Meshuggah. This song rocketed to the top of my favorite Meshuggah songs along with Future Breed Machine, I Am Colossus, Qualms of Reality, and New Millennium Cyanide Christ. This song is so freaking heavy.

A man of taste 😍
I think if there's no Meshuggah, there's no Gojira, or Periphery, Born of Osiris, Veil of Maya, Vildhjarta, Humanity's Last Breath etc.
You've never heard of Meshuggah before? you NEED to reaction to Meshuggah - Bleed
This is what they say
@@Hoopsick and they are never wrong ! Nice reaction like always brother
@@Hoopsick Gotta go with the full album version or live. Not the official music video because it cuts a considerable chunk of the ending.
Dude, this has been my favorite band for the past 20 years (since "Nothing" came out). I am so goddamn jealous of you. I wish I could experience this band for the first time again. Glad you enjoyed it! I'll be looking out for the other 'Shug reactions \m/
nothing is my fave album. i like them all, but the tuning, the eventual introduction of the 8 string guitatrs, i feel like the meshuggah we know today started with nothing.
Bruh, they've also been my favorite since Nothing!! Since seeing them open for Tool on the Lateralus Tour.
@@Egoblivion Same here, man! That's the tour that got me hooked also.
I'm 50 & they rule, thats why my kid thinks I'm coolest dad ever but he already knew that when I dragged him to a couple of Killswitch Engage concerts, awhile back!
that sound is the lead guitar with a “breathing” effect pedal
Pioneers, man. You have a deep rabbit hole ahead of you. Dive in.
I see a new meshuggah album is coming, INSTANT vinyl preorder ❤️🔥
This band is beyond incredible..been living under a rock for years...this shit is true Progressive Metal
Gotta do Rational gaze from Meshuggah. their live stuff is mixed really good too. Welcome to the Meshuggah show
Get ready to be spammed with Meshuggah requests😂 they're an amazing band though so it's justified. They have a song called Dehumanization and the breakdown is honestly the heaviest thing I've ever heard, it's beautiful.

you mean gojira sounds like meshuggah my man just like a bunch of bands out there
congrats! now that you ve experienced Meshuggah you ve reached manhood!
These dudes set the standard for djent! Great Reaction!
I know everyone's saying react to Bleed but you should consider listening to Straws Pulled at Random and Cadeverous Mastication. Couple of their oldies with some sweet melodic guitar solos
Bleed overrated.
@@madcrazyhouse-vf8nh Bleed was what got me hooked on Meshuggah but I'll have to agree with you
Meshuggah are the goats
Meshuggah is a must live…they will blow your mind away🤘🏻🤘🏻
They might as well be known as Mechugga. That guitar work 👌
Meshuggah and along Fear Factory are the stepping stone for 30 years worth in bands like Periphery,Tesseract, After the Burial,Veil of Maya, Elitist, born of Osiris ect many many more bands both fear factory and meshuggah started in the late 80s early 90s and have been paving the way for bands til this day.
I know I'm late but good reaction and that PC looks awesome!
5:12 Another chin conquered by Meshuggah
Meshuggah doesn't sound Gojiry. Gojira sounds Meshuggahey.
Gods of Rapture, and Ritual - Meshuggah from a None EP (1994)
at that time is different style but still sound groovy and it's had kind of atmosphere sounding
You don’t get a Gojira vibe, without first having a Meshuggah vibe lol
Dude...how have you not heard BLEED by Meshuggah....your in for a fucking slap around the face when you hear and see the drum cam video 🤘🤘🤘🤘
watch them live , they are the kings
Calling "banger of the year," so damn excited for this album, matured Meshuggah... with Fredrik back!!
I love these guys, their sounding! Thanks for reaction, bro!🤘🔥
Gojira have to thank Meshuggah if they exist...
The answer to "what is that sound?" is tonal shit being done with guitars that few/no other bands can pull off. I used to think guitar solos were boring until the twisted facemelters that Meshuggah delivered made me excited for them again.
So, my list of all good Meshuggah track to react to :
Future Bread Machine (from the album Destroy Erease Improve )
Rational Gaze (from the album Nothing)
New Millenium Cynide Christ (from the album Chaosphere)
Bleed (from the album Obzen, make sure to react to the full 7 min version, not the clip which is only 4 min long)
Demiurge (from the album Koloss)
Clockworks (from the album The Violent Sleep Of reason )
One song per album, from old to new, this will give you a first look of how each album sounds
Then you have :
I Am colossus
Behind The Sun
Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion
Combustion
Lethargica
Obzen
Pravus
Dancer To A Discordant System
Stengah
Perpetual Black Second
Straws Pulled At Random
Soul Burn
Concatenation
Corrido Of Chameleons
Born in Dissonance
Nostrum
Thoses are the the songs i would recommend before what will follow next
The whole Cath 33 Album
this is a concept album about paradox, 13 songs that all goes together making a one big song, if you react to this, you have to make The whole Album in one reaction
The EP "I"
This is for me their greatest works, the EP is only one song, called : I
but be carefull, don't start by this song, you have to know a lot about Meshuggah before trying to listen to this
Enjoy and welcome to the great wolrd of Meshuggah
Yes it is coming from a guitar-the magik of Frederik Thordendal.
Gojira, my ass 🤣🤣🤣 Gojira has always been one of my favorites. But theres no way gojira compares to Meshuggah lol.
you need to check their stuff out more their legends of the scene
also yea its all guitar
We need some more Meshuggah reactions. How about some Celtic Frost/Trptykon reactions
Those brutal patterns and downtuned sound you get in Gojira? That’s djent. Meshuggah literally invented djent.
I like this, but this is far from where to start.
Rational Gaze or Corridor of Chameleons is where you need to go.
Corridor Of Chameleons is way too underrated! Nobody reacts to that...
they are the kings
This is the big PAPA of thicc 8 strings guitars metal, they have like 200k albums it's insane
Jens is so furious ! !
Actually, Meshuggah gave birth Gojira, there's no Gojira without Meshuggah, just to be clear.
You are in for a wild ride if you continue messugah
Jealous, I’d love to hear everything again for the first time. What a buzz.
Please do Nostrum drum cam, one of the most mesmerizing ones!
Hey you know what you should do? You should listen to bleed and literally everything else they've ever released.
Like ever
And then if they come thru a city near you, you buy the tickets and you see it live and you realize you could not have lived another day without having witnessed what you just witnessed.
Gojira sound very Meshuggah (I love both)
New Millennium Cyanide Christ, Future Breed Machine, Born In Dissonance, Combustion and War to name a few songs i like. Legendary band!
THE GREAT DISMANTLEEER
gojira kinda sounds like meshuggah actually :D , nice vid :D, ( 2:39 ) if u pay attention, the rythim of the guitarrs and bass drums are changing every single time, they never do the same :p
Hey, imo Bleed is entry level meshuggah song. If you feel like it, hit youserlf with the ep called "I"
Cool reaction :) Always cool to have new people liking meshuggah the godfathers of a lot of metal bands.
Gojira doesn't even Palm mute
Behold the progenitors of djent. So hyped for their new one.
They are always awsome 🤘🔥🤘
The Fathers of Djent 👊🏼
"very gojira style intro" xD
Percussionist
Three 8-string guitarists
Vocalist
gogira bit meshuggas style bro.... just a little fyi. meshuggah came wayyyyyyy before gogira.
Its not the same exact rhythm throughout it slightly changes every so often
Bleed 7 minute studio version for sure, I agree with the other commenter.
Nice reaction
you should do more meshuggah since you love mick gordon...
Gojira is very Meshuggah 😀
There would be no Gojira without Meshuggah
I was big into Meshuggah around 20 or more years ago when they were more thrash metal fast paced rhythm gods. I liked chaosphere and destroy erase improve albums the best. Try their sounds New Millinium Cyanide Christ or Future Breed Machine!!
Put a lot of attention, the rythm does not repeat, hear the time signature, there is always a new variation.
That sound is a 8 string guitar.
Anyone who reccomends Bleed has never listened to another Meshuggah song in their life.
Bleed is good. But it's SEVERELY overrated. Lots of other fantastic songs by Meshuggah out there.
And i am forever grateful to you for choosing literally ANYTHING ELSE for your first impression of them.
Combustion
I would like to see gojira cover this
I love their sound and the drum patterns. Unfortunately for me, i can't seem to get into the vocals. It sounds too monotone for my brain. I would struggle listening to them for an entire concert, even though i love the music.
Welcome to meshuggah hope u enjoy there music listen to catch 33 from beginning to end and don't you ever compare meshuggah to gojira u compare the opposite
Lethargica... if only for the brakdown
GOJIRA STYLE LOL... im dead. opposite yes
Relentess! That "sound" you're talking about kind of reminds me of their track "Behind the Sun"
Father's of Djent
Please for the love of God dont react to Bleed. just listen to it and get it out of the way in your free time. There are far more fun & extremely technical songs in every album by Meshuggah that deserve attention.
Didn’t watch the video
