Lyrics:
Clockworks
Dismantling the clockwork that makes me the cynic
Pallet, wheel and click
The properties of my indifference
Reverse-engineering what makes it tick
Dissecting the finetuned mechanism
Rack and barrel, spring and pin
Its synchronous characteristics
To kill what makes it spin
Disassemble this machinery
Re-program these eyes, undo this design
Labelled and filed, each part indexed
Broken to pieces then thoroughly burned
Deconstruction of what I am
Buried to make sure he never returns
Taken apart, defused, blueprints turned to ashes
Eradicate the last remains, remnants of the insane
Disintegration, the destruction of me now imperative
To purge myself of this condition, complete this dissolution a necessity
Break this deceitful machine
A lie, what once I was, obsolete instrument
An outmoded contraption, a malfunctioning device
That callous self now extinguished, that malignant self now disused
That conceited invention to nothing now reduced
Complete disintegration, the destruction of me now imperative
To purge myself of this condition, complete this dissolution a necessity
Break this deceitful machine

He grows his hair that long just so you won’t see the midi cable connected to the back of mans head.
@JM Coulon bundle of fiber optic cable
Jajaja LoL
It's not actually hair, it's a flexible fiber-optic antenna
You mean the charging port? We all know he's a machine.
Its for covering those stiches up. Dudes got metronome with cpu installed next to his brain
that sensation when you cannot even air drum this song
the only way to enjoy this song is headbanging
nvm that's fucked up too
You gotta listen to it daily. Every Meshuggah song is a plague in the minds of musicians for weeks at a time. That's the only way to Meshuggah.
Forget that, I can't even just LISTEN and comprehend the drum beat lol
You just gotta do a full body wiggle. It won't be in time, but you'll never realize it
@@ToxicTerrance I finally figured out how to play Break Those Bones on drums, which by Meshuggah standards, is playing a children's lullaby.
His feet are blurred out because they’ve been deemed too obscene for TH-cam.
Underrated comment..come on where r the likes guys
Darn you youtube!
This is ace
Too obzen
i see what you did therr
Imagine being a china symbal fresh out of the factory. As you’re placed into a box for shipping you catch a glimpse of the address tag. And it says Tomas Haake.
😵😵
If it had a face it'd look like Philip J. Fry's upon finding out he was sentenced to death by snu-snu
Hahahahahahahahaha, can someone pin this holy fuck
Cymbalside
that's how you know you'll be used as a crash
After years of convincing myself that Bleed is the best Meshuggah song, I have finally come to terms with myself that every Meshuggah song is the best Meshuggah song.
Clockworks is better than Bleed tbh
Bleed is still the best Meshuggah song for red-light subwoofer showdowns
XD
Disagree strongly, my favorites are Future Breed Machine (Mayhem Version) and Suffer In Truth.
Meshuggah have more then one song?)
My two favorite drummers, Danny Carey and Tomas. Carey feels like an angel who descended from the sky with his intuitive polyrhythms and spiritual playing. Haake on the other hand plays like he's powering some machinery in the depths of hell.
Beautifully said and 100% correct my good man.
holy crap, yes
Dude fuckin spot on!!! Ive always thought the same!
Also be sure to check the Atomic clock himself, Mr. Gene Hoglan.
A 6' 7" angel
im uploading this to pornhub
Kyle Schneid title it "Can you beat your meat to the rhythm?"
Wow
NOOO! This kind of orgasm will kill people. Take it from me I'm a ghost now👻
Kyle Schneid lol!!!!
"Cool fat old man fucks the shit out of vintage cutey"
This drum play through has inspired me to quit drumming.
LMAO
Hahaha nice one.
I get inspired by these videos to practice as much as possible
Dude...Im with you. After watching this video I started and quit drumming at the same time.
Heh... a few years ago I would have totally agreed with you. I've been " self-taught" for nearly 10 years.. and finally something just clicked for me. Its weird.. but I can cover stuff like this no problem all of a sudden. I've always had metronome in my head, since I was in 4th grade and all I could pay attention to was the seconds clicking on a 1980s clock. . but when I started drumming at 18, it took me YEARS to finally just get it. I could always fill the space in time.. it just sucked.
Just. don't.give . up It may not be sudden. but it will start to click
inspiring comment ;-) haha.
Bass drums look under their beds for Tomas Haake
Criminally underliked comment
Idk I'd be pretty terrified to be one of his rides
This makes laught really hard. :D
Made me laugh hard!
LOFL! Without a doubt!
This is truly a testament to what the human mind is capable of. Wtf dude!
Where does it say that Haake is actually human?
Maths. It can do maths.
just remember this man wrote all of this
Haake may have an autistic savant (for rhythym; like Einstein for physics) in which his brain is structured differently such that theorising and practising complex polyrhythym is not so difficult but rather comes quickly and naturally to him.
ha, Testament
Interesting fact: The Global Positioning Satellite system takes it's master clock from Tomas Hakke's right hand.
Another interesting fact: God keeps time (and space) by listening to Tomas Haake.
I'm just glad it's not his left hand!
Also, when I requestanimationframe in Javascript...Tomas IS THE FRAME
Normally drummers use metronomes to keep time. But how metronomes know if the timing is right?...................... They use Tomas Haake.
guitarplayer1234 haha right!
Haake is 48 years old and still pulling every Shuggah song of like a beast. Inhuman legend from Sweden. People say Zlatan I say Haake!
Zlatan is a chad, don't talk shit about him.
@@vonbraunprimarch He ain't Haake though
@@vonbraunprimarch They're both Chads in their own field
Think of Danny Carey who was 59 when the vic firth live video of that Tool concert was recorded
@@thomasdecorail8825 Danny and Thomas are like yin and yang lmfao
Thomas Haake doesn't use metronome. The metronome uses Thomas Haake.
It's funny beacause they didn't actually use metronome for this song hahahah
@@petarpavasovic6333 that literally made no sense at all.
This comment is on pretty much every video of a decent drummer on youtube. Try harder next time.
Actually this is real
@@ToxicTerrancethey didn't use metronome th-cam.com/video/qgCo1mlt-jU/w-d-xo.html
Anyone who thinks that he's not doing any thing impressive here is sadly mistaken.
Only member of the band that does though, he should be at the front while the guitars are at the back.
I don't know if I'd necessarily say the guitar parts are easy. But the drums certainly are the lead in this band. All the instruments play a more percussive roll than a traditional metal band.
Can't agree, some song are really difficult to play. Dancers to a Discordant System for example, i know some ppl like Johne Browne did a cover which seems it'd be easy to play, because their far beyond skills
Renegade That's what he said...?
+DomSchu they are all drummers. go figure
his ghost notes are so fuckin hard, i got no idea how he still manages to put accented notes in there
You can barely even hear them, you wouldnt even know he's doing them if you didnt see the video
he is a god
I've seen many non-metal fans at their shows who just come to witness a god of drumming
Theve come to his house of worship to pay their respects
Longstreths lightning, tomas got thunder tho
@@thegreatwebstar Lord Marco is up there too !
If we're gonna call Tomas Haake a drummer, what are we gonna call all those other guys who attempt to play this instrument?
Consural Better drummers? This guy is overrated af. I feel sorry for you guys putting him...or "it" on a pedestal you must live in a box in a very small world....or you're 5 years old lmao
Brandon B I cant tell if you’re trolling, you’ve came onto his play through to hate on him?
@@rmr5044 The way he says it has that perfect douchebag touch that makes me think it isn't trolling
ROEM exactly you can’t deny that
I called them Lars Ulrich
Is it more impressive that Mr. Haake played this or is it more impressive that he composed this?
Yes.
flugplatz21 LOL yes indeed.
@@sammckneil Hahaha, quite! |m|
composition is Master. As is he.
Composed. I try and tell this to my Tool fanboy friends also; any studio drummer will play Pneuma but very very few will compose it.

Listening to this is like being yelled at in an interrogation room. In a foreign language.
I like to listen to meshuggah while in slow heavy traffic, it's kind of like drinking a excessive of caffeine before getting on a plane
XD
Thats oddly specific
@@fedora997 it IS technical death metal... XD
Incredible comment. Congrats
"Here, learn these 600 telephonenumbers by heart and drum them back to back."
''and play those with your feet over a 23/16 polyrythm with your hands while keeping a straight 4/4 on a 22' Heavy ride.... for 6 minutes''
Mmm... okay then, but it would be more groovy if I divide every seven number by seventeen, I don't want people to get bored.
I'm blown away. How on earth does his body parts move so independently? Literally one of the top best drummers out there.
Body control and practice
Do something for 32+ years and you can master anything!
He is polyrhythmic maniac (in a good way). I am astounded by how he can drum so intricately but not get distracted by the rest of the band. Just by hearing the drums, I can tell that the song is played with polymeters. Or when each member of the band plays in a different time signatures.
This is like the extreme version of the whole tap your head rub your stomach thing
Insane practice and dedication.
Rare footage of an extraterrestrial in it's natural habitat.
5:59 Look at the closest cymbal. The drum kit is tearing up over this masterpiece it's hearing
And I was thinking the Drumset starts sweating :P
What I like most about him is that he isn't like most metal drummers in that all he relies on is ridiculous BPM and blast beats. He has the subtly of a jazz drummer. It is all in the offbeats and wrists.
My favorite metal drummers are actually those with a jazzy feeling just like you mentioned... Tomas Haake, Sean Reinert, Danny Carey, Brann Dailor etc...
4:12 Heaviest riff on the planet, dear god.
Yes, probably hardest piece of music I have ever heard.
It could do a root canal
Portal - Catafalque. Around the 4.20 mark, a riff is unleashed which tears holes in space time.
Gasolina y fósforos.
Fuck yeah. That's the Pantera Groove 🤘🏼
That feeling when you've successfully four-four'ed a Meshuggah song in your head through out an whole song
Because of the syncopation, it is very difficult
@@ethanmorrow4241 Indeed, you really have to concentrate, especially the first few times you hear it. Then after a while you can dig along to the flow of the groove.
That groove yo..🤘
His hi hat gives the 4x4 for you to follow most of the time
that 4:09 headbang part is so damn weird
Kick cam should be standard in any Meshuggah video
gitsurfer27 Messhuggah and his agent, won't allow it. Footwork is radioactive therefore classified Sir. You can hear it, feel it (at a proper distance of course and wearing appropriate gowning). Can't look directly to it.
Hahahaha
@@TheMoonchild1969 I heard that's actually true. Quite a dangerous man
@@TheMoonchild1969 Silence, they might be onto this
They blurred it out for safety reasons
I've been coming here for two years and this shit still makes my jaw drop to the floor. These levels of precision and coordination are well beyond human, this guy is a fucking machine
This guy is one of the greatest drummers of all time, I don't care what anybody says
Kyle Robins Also Richard Christy from Death
What about Morgan Ågren?
For real, I don't know who would be better than Tomas and Morgan... In metal.
vetlerradio morgan is more jazzy, theyre just different, both virtuosos
there is a bunch of greatest drummers of all time. end of discussion
Haake should've been in Fury Road on top of some monsterous, petrol-guzzling, abomination of a machine; leading the charge to track down the traitors, beating a gigantic, polished chrome drumset to within an inch of it's life & spitting fire.
Dalton Bedore would have fit perfectly to that guy with that insane guitar
Most true message I've ever read
To me, this is his defining moment. I know a lot of people say Bleed and maybe it had a bigger initial impact, but this song in particular just blows me away like nothing else.
@@YourHeartIsAGrave totally agree. Bleed is an amazing achievement but I think it's more of an endurance test. I think Clockworks is a more dynamic display of his ability, like you said.
this is my favorite meshuggah song, obzen is perfect in every way but this song fucking owns!!
This song kicks fuckin ass, but Bleed hits _different._ it's literally meditative.

Thank you Nuclear Blast & Meshuggah & Tomas Haake. This is exactly the kind of stuff real fans want to see. I don't take it for granted you guys posted this, you easily could not have but it is MUCH appreciated. We'd also love to see guitar playthroughs as well, maybe next time.
Jesus Christ dude, let some of us have a chance with music. This might be the greatest thing I've ever seen.
John Browne good to see you feel like this too, as you make me feel that way a lot man! love monu and flux :)
dude.... you don't talk shit to john browne. He''d fucking overplay you blindfolded
Blows nothing away ya goon
Mal Reynolds tr0l0l0l
Mal Reynolds not really. I like it. Don't give a Fuck if you don't. Just a bit lame that your still here? Go listen to your shit music troll
Don't let the view count fool you, the 2 million is just me listening this on repeat for the past 4 years.
You're already fooled, my friend. At least 1 million is because of me.
He is very relaxed. He is actually grooving the whole time, like an R&R or jazz drummer. That is the thing that separates him from other metalist/heavy drummers. And there are lots of ghost notes and subtle accents in his dynamics. He is also a composer and lyricist as well as being a highly accomplished musician. The volient sound and extreme nature of the music tends to "hide" some of these factors. One counter-intuitive way to appreciate him, and the the band more, is to turn the volume way down and listen attentively, as an "objective observer". Later, you can "get into it" and "go crazy". Peace.
watch from 4:00.. hes not relaxed lol. he even said clockworks is the hardest track hes done to date
Yes, he struggles sometimes. Sure. And he says that in Bleed he has to use triggers, but only for that track. But his overall approach is to remain relaxed. All the great drummers use this skill.
Totally agree with your groove and ghost notes point. That makes a huge difference. Plus, he's not overplaying on his cymbals, just hitting them so they sound exactly like they should, not like other metal or rock drummers who keep smashing them hard all the time.
I kept saying that to myself too. I mean sure he gets into it at parts...but all in all he's very calm and composed. Just having a bit of fun
You are right, musically this band is incredible, and Tomas is the center of it all.
These guys must function in some kind of an higher dimension! Their timings are such a mind-fuck! Their _math metal_ genre is just a cover-up! This is fith dimensional metal!
MikeVonDoom that's what I love .it fucks with your head as the drums and guitars play different rhythms and keep switching. love it. its hypnotic
MikeVonDoom I can not agree anymore I still can't understand how the fuck all five members can pull this shit off wtf, I'm guessing they are not from this world smh love you guys man, I'm fifty n still love the shits you guys do wow
Ya'll should listen to some carbomb.
animale as leaders inspired their style from Meshuggah
MikeVonDoom ..... *VERY TRUE....*
This seems like it should be beyond the realm of plausibility. I feel like this shouldn't even be remotely possible. It's like most drummers keep time with whatever their dominant hand is, but I'm watching him stop tracking time with his dominant hand and temporarily shift to his off-hand - but the fucking right hand is still going away steady while the other half of his cognition is off doing something else without it. And this is all just his hands! We haven't even talked about what's going on with the kicks. Holy fuck, this shouldn't be possible.
How can one man with only four limbs evoke so much sound?
With practice and some insanity
i love the dudes modesty. go and watch a interview and you have to smile. he never claims to know his stuff. in one interview he said how he enjoys tool despite having no idea what is happening rythmically and that understanding music is not necessary to enjoy it.
he comes of like a real fan of music without sounding like some stupid elitist.
I remember when Bill Burr said he was watching Meshuggah with the drummer of Tool. Danny Carey is impressed with this guy
Incredible guitar, not just the drumming.
And vocals honestly. I don’t even like this type of vocals but I couldn’t imagine meshuggah with any other vocalist
@@MCLemonyfresh true Very few bother to notice this
Hey man don't forget the thumping bass. Without the bridge between rhythm and melody you got nuthin!
I guess we can all agree that they are really something especial as a band!
those leads are so abstract. Love it.
Tomas : Hey guys, I've written a song.
Meshuggah : That's great Tom, which time signature did you use?
Tomas : Yes!
rest of meshuggah: alright so it's in 4/4 but it will rarely ever sound like that. Lets just write stuff in 11 or 17 counts.
A lot of Meshuggah is actually in 4/4
I think it's more of an 8/8 vibe but alright.
4/4 - _-
2/2, take it or leave it.

@@-Markus- yeeeeeeee
Love how Tomas finishing the song with one single snare-hit.. like putting a lid on a 7 min carnageattack.. absolute legend.
I almost love the comments in this section more than the playthrough itself.
How about some playthroughs from Fredrik Thordendal?
Just edit a video of him playing 00000 together. There you go.
Artillathehun it's actually 1111111-1-2~~~-11111
Not sure about you, but I think it would be interesting to see some of his more 'updated' improvising. There's a lot of soloing in 'The Violent Sleep of Reason' album that resembles some Allan Wordsworth legato patterns, octave displacement, off-beat rhythms, and dissonance. It's a great re-hash of Fredrik's earlier project "Sol Niger Within."
Yes Frederik is a huge Allan Holdsworth fan, he has said in interviews.
all bands making fakethroughs and no one cares
respect goes for the players of course but why keep stupid trends?
When you realize that he's not using a track to record the playthrough (they are playing in the back).
Maybe it's just the recording session. One shot, and go to bed !
@@pierresmith It wasn't this take though.
For real? Fucking mind blowing
Such a genre bending style.
such a space-time continuum bending style.
Triple M .
Here's some advice to all drummers:
Speed never matters when drumming
What matters is coordination and separation of limbs
And don't try to sound better than Tomas Haake, try to sound better than the way you played the other day because if you do that then someday you may even sound better than Tomas Haake because he didn't do this shit in one night
Just saying this too cuz personally I haven't heard anyone say this is easy but I've seen too many people try it thinking they did it right
But anyway this song is FIRE
Wisdom from Eric Cartman?
That's new... :)
You will never be Tomas Hakke, you will never be Chad Smith, you will never be Buddy Rich but, you will ALWAYS be yourself. Do better only for you, nobody else. This way, you always see improvement, instead of striving for the impossible.
LOL Did you just say Chad Smith.....? Chad Smith bows to a Haake shrine every night offering baby sacrifices in praise and worship. No contest.
Chad Smith is a seriously recognised player, it wasn't a comparison it was a fact. Comparing players to each other or yourself is a totally pointless exercise. It's about expressing who you are and what you want to say to the world. Haake is a phenomenal player but you wouldn't find him playing the kind of music Chad Smith plays.. they aren't the same person. How else do you think music finds it's way to uniqueness?
yeah ok man. thank you sir wise one. I will forever be enlightened by your extreme wisdom...………… LMAO dude I can probably slap polyrhythms around you for days..... I'm tired of your types, always something to prove LOL.... but thanks for the couple of absolutely retarded comments, I got quite the chuckle. Chad Smith doesn't TOUCH Haake. The fact you'd even mention them in the same sentence shows what level you are on. Tah tah grasshopper.
This guy plays like that band meshuggah
because he is
@@ericshredder1120 wooooosh
My brain collapsed at 5:45. His extremities become their own time and space.
dude ur profile pic, fits so fucking much ur comment xD
Oddly enough, that's one of the easier patterns in the song 😂 play it slow and without the right hand, then add in the right hand over the top of it and increase the tempo as you get it figured out.
This album feels faster in tempo, more organic, more band chemistry, more sophisticated and compositionally dense, than previous records. A masterpiece of the Meshuggah style. I couldn't be more satisfied.
Well said. It's so insane in it's composition, I agree - this song alone has got me all bent up in the intricacy of time they're, literally, toying with. Fucking brilliant and no one can compare. I see them in Denver in about a week.
they come to Australia early next year. There's no choice, I am seeing them for the third time.
Andy McLeod just saw them in st Louis, they are the best period. the new live set is God tier.
Just saw them live last night in Philly... they are as tight as the album... it's almost nauseating... fucking brilliant
agreed. been stuck on a meshuggah listening spree all month. saw them live in Nashville last month. The best show I've been to so far.
I saw mushuggah live in Atlanta, Georgia while they promoted “Violent Sleep of Reason”. I became transfixed on Tomas Haake about halfway through the show. That dude is a fucking monster. That complex of a style of drumming, relentlessly, for about an hour and a half. Mind blowing. That show had me in a pleasurable daze from beginning to end, and Tomas was the machine that drove it hard.
omg...this guy can divide by zero
Best comment, ever.
Ever since I've heard the song, I wanted to see a drum playthrough of it just like Nostrum. Now I have it ! Thank you Meshuggah for all the music !
I felt the same way. So glad he did it.
As soon as I heard Clockworks I was wishing they'd do a drum playthrough video haha I'm with ya!
This performance deserves a Grammy Award
Actually it's the Grammy who wishes they'll be capable to deserve a Tomas Haake someday.
The china on the left was waiting until the very end before it got smacked
Could you imagine the suspense it felt while watching the rest of the kit get brutalized for a little over 7 minutes straight?
At 2:000000567 seconds he obviously missed a one hundred twenty-eights note.
Lol. nice
Well go to 5:10 and listen and look for the snare :)
Swede Odén Hansen oh shit
@@SwedeOfEnbound OMG. Dude, that is seriously discouraging.
@@SwedeOfEnbound also, at .46, he hits the china and the sound is NOT a china.
When I first saw him play, I was extremely surprised by how many ghost notes he keeps throwing in. I now think that they’re there to help him keep tempo and memorise the rhythms (he mentioned before that he sees Meshuggah as straight 4/4 but with fucked up bars).
Things are starting to make more sense now. He’s still a cyborg.
Who else thinks the new Meshuggah album is some of their best work?
\o
I do
I think some songs are less than stellar in their new album.
It's an acoustic hot mess. It's fun and aggressive, but no Catch Thirty-Three.
It's monotonous in many parts, but still a good effort. Destroy Erase Improve is their best
Syncopated polyrhythms in 4/4, sounds like or ∞/∞, no verse, like a run on sentence
My neighbor reported me to the cops today for playing this to loud........
They arrested him
WOW ANDY WOW
Your neighbor is too old lmao
Fantastic lol
@@pn4951 your a goof.
Speechless. Too much for my brain. This dude is seriously beyond any other drummer out there.
I get cold shivers down my spine everytime watching him play.
I'd say him and Blake Richardson are top teir of their Genre. Both have superb control of their craft.
+Mathias Frias couldn't agree more
I hate the word craft and all the Abe Lincoln bushranger coffee makers who use it.
too bad teehee
75 dislikes?! what were you expecting, eurodisco, rainbows and unicorns?
pe11e i seen it one time on a live set with lethargica its on youtube somewhere
you just made it double, jinxer
pe11e this is not good drumming, not even close. This is pretentious crap.
John vincent oh shut up.
GhANeC mad because I'm right?
Meshuggah is out of this world. If any drummer covers Meshuggah then his or her life is a complete success.
Incredible. It only just occurred to me, that Haake must have insane physical endurance, akin to that of an athlete. Some shape strategic forms on field, others weave beautifully dark rhythmic structures, to inspire.
"This is my drumkit. I use it as a crash".
That's a nice comment, mind if I crash it?
😏😂😂
1:30 is so damn awesome, got chills
Isn't he doing ghost notes around then?
02:59
"Wait a minute, this rhythm i´m playing is just too plain simple..."
03:05
"Fixed!"
I know that there are alot of great drummers, and everyone has their personal favorite. But, I don't think there is any drummer that can play something that Thomas can't.
right? the signatures he plays is so complex and he has such good limb independency and speed I don't think he'd fail to play any song on drums
i think many people are just "overestimating" Tomas' skills. yes the drumming is basically complex patterns but I don't think that there is any professional drummer out there that could not play this. Tomas admitted in an interview that he's basically not knowing to bits what he's doing on a musical level. He's more of a drummer that plays by feel.
I think it's more likely that Tomas cannot play jazz drums than another drummer not being able to play what he is playing...
Tomas is insanely good, no doubt about it, but some people here should expand their horizon drummers-wise.
@@Tintop I'm sorry, but that is just dumb. It is very highly unlikely that Tomas couldn't play jazz, as he had mentioned specifically that jazz fusion as one of his influences. Also, his level of limb independence is just top-tier. On top of that, his sense of groove and time is just amazing. Jazz would be a cakewalk for him.
You might be right that most people overestimate his skill level by saying no one else can play everything he does. Top-level drummers could definitely play them. But the point is, how many people can be considered top-level? Not that many.
@@fiction0711 exactly. Many drummers considered "top-level" could try but would rather fail. What matters most in today's genres (said by a long time deathcore and metalcore fan) is to achieve the highest bpm ratio available. I mean.... Lord Marco Petruzzella (Six Feet Under, Session for latest Rings Of Saturn album, Huhnau Minchal and many other bands) is considered the fastest drummer on Earth... Yes, he is considered top level, but I doubt he could play any Meshuggah, which is based on odd signatures, polyrhythms and so on. I'd just stick to the fact that Haake is out of this world for his technicity, same as Marco Petruzzella is for his speed, Neil Peart was for his creativity and many other top drummers.
@LiverHook Placed same goes for any death metal/deathcore drummer though. The point of the comment, imo, was that many people do overrate Haake, but it seems quite difficult to find any other drummer on Earth that would be able to play his complex drum patterns.
There are lots of godlike drummers in different genres, who can't compete against each other because they are specialized in different things.
Haake is complex, but rather slow.
Mounier is fast, but doesn't use polyrhytms.
Marco Pitruzzella is unreachable with 300bpm and slight complexity of drum patterns and so on.
It's like all 4 of his limbs are playing different songs and somehow it's fucking incredible.
my girlfriend doesnt understand messhugah... she said theyre music doesnt sound harmonic lol
Anja Bukal because a lot of it isn't nor is it supposed to be. The definition of music is "an organized series of sounds," not "things that sound pretty"
Ur girlfriend is dumb. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds like you need a new girlfriend.
She’s not wrong when she says they’re not harmonic.
if she wants harmony she should listen to post-metal, which is gay af
HOW is it even remotley possible..to come in here..check out the video ,and decide to DISLIKE it?i do not get that AT ALL!!
One of my favourite drummers all time!! Love ya ,Tomas and Meshuggah!!!Cheeeers from Norway :)
Haters gonna hate... Haake is legend.
Butt-hurt Nicki Minaj fans.
Haters gonna Haake'd ;)
it's what people who don't actually understand music keep bringing up.
"feeling" that is..
fuckinlowdowndrummer must've been on drugs and hit the wrong button
In 1996, in my long search for the next awesome band, I was lucky enough stumble onto Meshuggah. I bought DEI on a hope and a prayer that maybe this band might be the cutting edge, evolution of metal I was looking for. Turned out to be just that. I sat down, I istened to it, and my mind was blown. All these years later, they are still the cutting edge. Hail Haake. Unbelievable what he does. So bad ass.
I got into them in 1986. Saw them live in Argentina. Supporting Def Leppard. I'm pretty sure it was the back in black tour.
Legend says, Tomas has each brain for every limbs. True story
That looks really easy. 😏 To watch. 😏
Haze Anderson uh no, even this is giving me heart palpitations
@@PunisherNBK718 he need some milk
Ive watched this countless times. Still floors me. Such precision, such passion. Thank you for everything you’ve given meshuggah. I’ve listened to your albums almost every day without fail for the past 21 years. Sometimes i think its something to do with the roughly seven year cycle of release that makes each meshuggah album have distinct links to sections of my life. Meshuggah has never been just music to me. More like existential sonic psychotherapy. I meditate to it. I go to sleep to it. I train to it. I focus at work to it. Like an itch I must scratch daily. As a half swede you make me wish I had grown up in my mothers country. More MOoooooooRE!!!!!
That´s what I call intelligent drumming, I haven´t seen anything like that. The tempos are always odd and he nails them all the time, that is what amazes me, the precision, brutality and taste. That playing is inhuman!!!!!!! What I love is that he makes it look so easy, he is like playing two songs at once.
I know its great. My dad showed me stuff like Matt Cameron, Danny Carey, Bill Bruford, and Matt Garstka and now I've stumbled across this. This type of music always seems to amaze me.
5:10 glitch in the matrix confirmed?
Trinity : What did you see.
Neo : Thomas Haake Making a mistake.
Must've been so haake-ward. Or did he make a mist-haake? Works no matter how you want to pronounce it.
And yet, he just eases back into that fucked up grove like it was nothing. Makes me sick.
@@andrew7603 how did he fuck up? Im just curious I dont even notice anything at 5:10
it looks like he was supposed to that fast combo thing hitting evreything which he did but start it just a little earlier? this is after watching it like 6 times lol
@@mosca2810 he missed a snare hit. Caught the rim too much
Anyone just fall into a trance watching this?
He's not native to this planet...
Hoooo my God... What is this? Demon? Angel? Machine? Alien? ir Tomas Haake? :)
Half animal, half machine
bet he would be grandmaster chess player if not drummer, imagine iq for this
This is my favourite song off the album, so glad he did a video for it.
And that's how you write an opener for the most crushing band on Earth.
And this son, is how baby drums are made!
That's something you can do when you have a separate brain for each limb
Is that...melody that I hear popping in and out, there?
hahaha :D
Are you listening to the radio paralel?
Now I wanna quit comments instead of drums
Nobody can, after seeing this, deny that cyborgs are living among us.
Men, I'm sorry, but you recorded this album in live to make it more organic... But you forgot you were fucking beast machines! There's no damn human capable of what you're doing, SHOW YOUR TRUE FACE, we know this is a TERMINATORS' CONSPIRACY!... I'll give you Sarah Connor for another album like this one by the way :-x
I keep coming back to this
same brotha. still mystified...
@@DETHofMAN its crazy because he just appears to just "groove" through one of the most metal songs to have ever metaled
Right here
I'm back again wtf!
Back again!
I like that you can see the guitar playthrough in the back, through the glass in the other room
Yeah, i learned the song from that guitar playthrough.
Im so thankful to be alive when meshuggah roamed the earth. Light years ahead of comprehensive.
It's not even funny how hard it is to drum like this man does. Drumming is already difficult as it is, it takes a ton of practice making each of your limbs do different things independently and not have it sound like sh*t, but he just takes it to a level very few can achieve, even with years and years of practice. You can see how hard he has to concentrate, constantly scrunching his face. Even Danny Carey, who has always been my personal favorite drummer, says he watches Tomas to learn more and improve his own technique.
A clock. The Guy is THE Clock :/
This guy's literally the greatest drummer who ever lived.
To igmo rock metal fucks maybe...not for people who know what they are talking about though.
Literally, huh?
Max roach would eat him. Haake is very skilled though.
I think garstka and halpern both have him.
@@jingalls9142 ok so I thought, give this clown 🤡 the benefit of the doubt. But dude you are talking crap. I watched some vids and Max was good for his time which has sadly long passed. Its like saying Hank Marvin is better than Dimebag. Ludicrous
can we monitor this dudes brain activity during playing and build some AI's out of that?
Brain? No, it must be i7 newest generation...
Before someone complains about the cam not synced with the playing in some parts, the playing is still out of this planet.
Tomas (and Meshuggah) recorded this album live, so some parts do not correspond to what you see in the video (like on 1:50 where he's hitting a crash, and you're hearing a china).
You're hearing the final mix of the song, so some parts were changed during the mixing process, which is totally natural.
This guy is my favorite drummer, and this video is just another reason why.
This is a playthrough, this isn't what he recorded for the Violent Sleep of Reason, they didn't changed anything, he was just playing over the final track.
I believe this is what he recorded, buddy. You can see Fredrik on the background and Dick can be seen on the previous video for Nostrum recording as well, so these are takes that went for the album. Maybe it's not the take that was chosen for the album, but he isn't playing over the final track for sure.
Exactly, they did several takes of the songs and then used the parts where it sounded best, but they only filmed like one or two takes. So some parts on the album might be from this specific take, and others not.
He recorded these videos after the album was done. NONE of these takes are on the album
How do you know that? Do you know for sure?
