Yes, looks awesome. Especially at the beginning. There are several possible headbang-rhythms in most riffs of the song - so everyone can choose his favorite :) Most people choose the classic "Slow Jens Style headbang" because he can not be "wrong". ^^

That last breakdown is seriously the heaviest, sludgiest, most disgusting and beautiful thing I've ever heard. I could listen to 30 minutes of just that.
Totally! Plus it conveys that sense of total doom like there's just no hope, it's quite sad but beautiful at the same time. They seem to know the truth but noone will listen to them, so they'll scream till they fade away…
Meshuggah were playing on Metaldays, Slovenia, a few years ago. When I was drunk, I bought a white shirt and wrote that quote on it to go for the signing session. I was so nervous it took me a few minutes to realize that the guys actually liked it. I use it as decoration in my room now.
Honestly one of my favourite lyrics of all time. That and the end of Dehumanization: "Grinding, churning, the sweetest ever noises Decode me into their non-communication A soundtrack to my failure, one syllable, one vowel I" Blows my mind every fucking time...
The outro riff just fucking stuns me every single time, even now after all this time. It’s the sound of the apocalypse, of the universe ablaze. Fucking impossibly heavy.
When I saw them live play this song, that ending was marked in my memory, it sounded colossal, dark and apocalyptic. Then the trance ended because The Offspring started playing on the other stage 😂
Could this possibly be meshuggahs best song? It has everything they have mastered and is one of their longest tracks with one of the most epic riff endings
One of the best let's say. They have many good songs man, notably in Chaosphere, Nothing and The Violent Sleep of Reason. As the guy above said, Straws Pulled At Random is their another masterpiece with the best fucking outro out there!
You could argue it. You could also argue "Bleed", "The Violent Sleep of Reason ", "I", or even Catch 33 in my estimation. Hell you could even make an argument for "Future Breed Machine".
And i agree with all the other commenters in this section with the songs they picked too btw. Straws Pulled At Random, Demiurge, the stuff from Chaosphere and Nothing (personally one i like that nobody really talks about is "Corridor of Chameleons". in your face and groovy. Also like the "Alive " version of "Perpetual Black Second" , because it's in F and live and raw and yea)
It's unreal how Fredrik manages to improv amazing and different solos every god damn time and still make them sound like they belong in the song. One word: Legendary.

@@Dm3qXY tbf I have seen them live, and they don’t sound like they do on their older albums, but they’re still insanely tight, and they sound pretty close to how they do on Immutable
@@Dm3qXY I'd agree with you on this for other bands. But I just saw Meshuggah last year and other than the fact they play some songs a little slower, their live sound, sounds exactly like the studio track.
Anyone else think it's funny to watch the crowd headbang to some parts, when almost everyone is doing something different, thank you meshuggah and, and thank you odd time signatures
The whole tune is in 4/4 tho (with a triplet feel, or 12/8 if you wanna think about it that way) I know I'm kind of an ass pointing this out but it is why I love Meshuggah and not many other Meshuggah inspired bands: You can actually dance to this shit
@@tommihalonen6471 ok yah technically. But the way the instrumentation plays out, it's not perpetually obvious. If you concentrate you can find it, but "feeling" it, it feels different.
It's all in 12/8, there's no odd time signatures. You must know that 'Polyrhytmic odd cycles' and 'odd time signatures' are two totally different things
I'm fuckin big fan of Meshuggah. this band has changed my life. ıf they don't exist I can't imagine how my life would be. I just want to write these words on this video. thanks guys for music and all deeply breaths.
All joking aside, this album capper from the very important obZen record is a real artist's masterpiece. This is Meshuggah in 100% full. Like, other artists are not necessarily writing music that is this unique and this deep in meaning. Ive often oddly referred to some of Meshuggah's riffs as "serious". This is an example of a "serious" songs. These are not easy or obvious polyrhythms. But they are not just randomly complex either. There's great intent and meaning behind this kind of songwriting Moreover, it is just distinctly recognizable as Meshuggah. There are some riffs in this song i just cannot get over. Like even by Meshuggah standard they are some of the best polyrhythms ever in history. They're fucking soaked dripping in flavor. Fucking Fredrik and Marten, Tomas, Jens and Dick. They are fucking legendary. Thank you for this music, seriously, from the bottom of my heart.
I've been a musician for 30 years, now, and these crazy Swedes never cease to leave my jaw on the floor, my head banging, and my soul lit on fire. THANK YOU, Meshuggah, for being the mad scientists that you are.

These are but avatars for a greater being. The dark sigil dawns the stage, the obelisks with instruments in hand. They begin to voice their message, a song of apocalyptic oblivion. The onlookers are taken. Vessels now are these bodies, taken by the truth of devastation. Rhythmic destruction reverberates between the husks and they recieve the breath of life, all is as it should be... in this sonic nirvana.
I was a dedicated metal head for nearly a decade, then I burnt out hard on the whole genre. Couldn't listen to anything, hard or soft metal, without getting instantly bored. Still, this band holds my attention. Each song is a cataclysm, each song sounds like they don't fuck around. And this song in particular, well, I'm sure it's a song Cthulu would play on his wedding.
Peter Schmidt I did, but sadly, the vocals and overall instrumental tone and concept, while certainly amazingly executed, didn't really click with me. I guess Meshuggah's analytical, groove-oriented formula of (simple song + complex rhythm) just works better for me. I'm looking forward to Fredriks next solo LP though, especially since he grew so much as a musician.
Peter Evans I'm not a lampy so I might be wrong but given Meshuggah play to click tracks I'd imagine the lights are all pre-programmed rather than done on the fly.
Sketchy Luke Actually, nope. The brother of Tomas, the drummer, controls their light show live, as far as I know, even songs like Bleed.. sick mofo on the light controls right there!
scarabaeus Just did a youtube search and found some cool videos of the guy mixing away. Got a lot of respect for the guy for doing that, normally when I watch lighting guys at work with click tracks it's programmed. I guess when you're on tour and have to adjust your rig to fit inside the venue it actually becomes easier to do lights manually after hearing songs a thousand times.
Nope, his name is Edvard Hannson. He is the extension of Meshuggah and kills the "maths classes" with them everytime on his Console. Search him up on TH-cam if you haven't! Nothing is as CHAOTIC yet PEACEFUL like Meshuggah! Jai Shree Krishna!
a gifted person she must be. genius can only be recognised by understanding (Y) very cool! I hope for my sisters (at 8yrs) sake that she will someday be able to comprehend this as well
Listening to Meshuggah is like an spiritual experience - every time. Others might come quite close, but they have never been surpassed. I hope that - despite being a relatively small/underground band - they realize that they've had an massive impact on this world. Even outside the metal community. I'm very grateful.
Only fans of Meshuggah or similar music will ever understand what orgasmic feeling this song is able to create. How easy trance overwhelmes you when standing in front row. When you want to dance, move and scream, but all you can do is widen your eyes and wallow in a different world while your body is in complete paralysis. Undescribable. Best song ever! Though I have to admit this video cannot quite catch that way of emotion. You simply have to BE there.
I get these orgasms even from studio versions and even better with live versions. I cant even imagine what the feeling would be live . Hopefully one day its possible. You're a lucky man!
You might not be a fan of Meshuggah. But if you're a fan of metal, your favorite bands are either huge fans of and/or influenced by Meshuggah. It's always seemed strange to me how underrated they are, while having such a massive influence and changing an entire era of metal.
I've dropped out of the metal scene a lot since high school, Meshuggah has brought me back in in many ways, and i don't mean your basic Metallica type of stuff, I mean real real heavy happenings, all because of their drummer, I can't fucking stop listening to their god damn shit! he is a god to me like Bon from Led Zep, Eric Moore with his huge banging chops, just can't stop listening. So smooth, so on point, such a god damn inspiration that I can't even explain.
I understand that exact face. Saw Meshuggah last year and they seriously put you in a trance like state of intense, almost tribal focus on the beat. My shoes were weighed down with mud, so I couldn't really dance or jump around, so I just rocked back and forth.
I know it's in 4 or 12/8 or whatever, but the band is just so in synch it sounds like they just took a random off beat and said "this now an on beat, this is where we move" and everyone's just like "mkay"
its hard, maybe first time even more tough. but its just, after all these years, so, so, so fucking beautiful. This track, these lyrics, this particular live video. It's so perfect. And if you are here you know. No words needed. But i had to write it off my chest. This shit is so fucking beautiful its breaks my heart, and it breaks it several times during this track. Fuck this shit man its not for every day use for sure. I want to drink another beer and feel lost and found at the same time while dwelling on this nonsense from Sweden. Its just, there is no further after this, maybe Born in dissonance, i will just put that on now.
This song, my goodness... I've listened to the studio version since the album came out and now I've been listening to this live version every day. If you combined the total amount of times I've heard this song it's probably a thousand times which is almost 170 hours... Hard to believe but there's just something majestic about it.
The guys are the Tool of extreme metal. On top of being one of the most innovative bands of their time, they're heavier than a fucking freight train running off the track and ramming into the side of a mountain. This song in particular is a masterpiece. I can't truly pick a favorite song. Phenomenal.
@@im_in_immense_pain double irony is that tool loves them back, according to bill burr in one of their concerts tool's drummer was there and he was fucking amazed at the stuff haake was doing in bleed.
The drumming and guitar is so heavy that after a certain point in time you feel detached from your current reality and transported somewhere else - Unbelievable
8:04 from this moment on , i love this so much it is literally the BEST part of a concert i have ever witnessed in my life even i was not there. It gives me chills all over my body , its like all the song is only playing for this moment to unify everyone in one big wave of heavyness.Fucking amazing.
Meshuggah take a while to understand but once you get it there is no where else you can find that sound. It clicks and you go “Jesus Christ! This is just amazing!”
These guys just get better and better - like an invincible force of metal. So innovative, super-technical rhythms, makes me want to pull my own face off.
As a lighting guy, props to their lighting guy! I've seen other videos of him operating. I'm a musician so my timing is good and he's got that same kind of timing.. .really on-point and with the music. One thing is you actually have to offset your cues slightly early to make up for lag, so it's a little extra weird.
Jonathan Linderer Dude I'm just curious, I met a dude named Jonathan Linderer in California in 2014 and I'll shit if it's you lol just scrolling through comments and music on youtube
While everyone's feeling butthurt and whinging about this amazing band, I'd just like to point out that they are the tightest motherfuckers! So good, love Meshuggah!
I saw Meshuggah for the first time last year, yeah this old man (me) was all the way in the front, just one or two people in front of me. It was so fucking awesome!! I only got kick in the head once from some crowd surfing, and only elbowed someone in the face (totally accidentally of course). But the thing that really stuck me about the music...as side from it's heaviness was it's trace effect. I was spaced out high (natural, no drugs) for at least 24 hours after the show. Meshuggah is trance music, metal of course, but trance music.
Whatever it takes, DO IT! I wasn't aware of them until they opened for Tool back in '00 and I kinda spent all of Tool's set contemplating how awesome Meshuggah was! \m/
hahah man that lights me up xD finally someone who enjoys both. fuck yes meshuggah blew me away too, though i havent seen them live yet, it is a different kind of amazement from tool definitely
One of the greats. A song that takes more then one listen before it clicks and then you yearn for the maniacal repetitiveness to kick in. It's almost meditative. Obzen is probably one of my other favorites off of this album

They are the sonic equivalent of carpet bombing. very low altitude, B52 Stratofortress just reigning destruction .

4:50 the heaviest riff ever made
I would challange that with the middle Riff from I am Colossus :D
You're goddamn right
Listen to the hidden tune
The essence of lies in note defined
As we dance to the dissonant sway
The choreography refined
Will subdued and shackled
Reason washed aside
Pledging our love to the chains
Our ignorance ever amplified
Blooded hands lead the waltz
We're trapped in the out of tune swirl
Still we set the show on continue mode
And dance to a discordant system
We accept the nails we're fed
Lies sharpened to bleed us silent
Muted from the pains
Defiance employed in vain
Any attempts to leave the dance
Invisibly suppressed
Questions unasked, we learn the steps
Eyes shut like all the rest
Unsuspecting, willing, blind, controllable herd
Pawns in a covert game conducted by hands we trust
Dominated, compliant and deceptable
Confident that we matter, we don't see that we're but dust
Committed to a lie we cannot see, cannot know nor comprehend
We're all asinine drones kept in the dark, kept in line
Confined, bereft of reason
Withering in toxicity
The deadly fumes deceit
And we all reek of complicity
Humbled, brought to our knees
By the weight of our own guilt
Our innocent ways the catalyst
To injustice and inhumanity
We dance, to appease
Compete in stupidity
Obscured faces file our points
Numbers fed to the machine
Still we stand in line for the next show
The human spine liquefied
What are we, but stupefied
Dancers to a discordant system
We believe, so we're misled
We assume, so we're played
We confide, so we're deceived
We trust, so we're betrayed
Possibly the MOST impressive live performance ever
I wish everyone in the world would able to listen this song as it deserves to be listened...

Danny Carey?? :)
Dont disagree but I'd add Carey and Adler to the list as well
Carey definitely agrees about haake being on the list.
matt garstka cmon guys
Definitely my absolute favorite band of all time... they're amazing on so many levels.
My 12 year old niece like this. I've taught her well
12yr old niece >:)
a gifted person she must be. genius can only be recognised by understanding (Y) very cool! I hope for my sisters (at 8yrs) sake that she will someday be able to comprehend this as well
good job
I wonder what it's like to comprehend such complex music? Too bad we're all just a bunch of dummy dumb-dumbs down here.
Poor little creature
One of my absolute favourites. This song doesn't get the praise she deserves. What. A. Masterpiece.
This music actually calms me 🎶🙏🏻🎶😌
The only reason why i am alive right now is just because I NEED to see them live. Their art is Sublime, the true gods on earth
Listening to Meshuggah is like an spiritual experience - every time. Others might come quite close, but they have never been surpassed. I hope that - despite being a relatively small/underground band - they realize that they've had an massive impact on this world. Even outside the metal community. I'm very grateful.
Wow…I finally get it. This song is like a movie in your head.
Only fans of Meshuggah or similar music will ever understand what orgasmic feeling this song is able to create. How easy trance overwhelmes you when standing in front row. When you want to dance, move and scream, but all you can do is widen your eyes and wallow in a different world while your body is in complete paralysis. Undescribable. Best song ever! Though I have to admit this video cannot quite catch that way of emotion. You simply have to BE there.
What drugs where you on? (jk)
I get these orgasms even from studio versions and even better with live versions. I cant even imagine what the feeling would be live . Hopefully one day its possible. You're a lucky man!
hehe, only fans
@@vetlerradio do not joke drugs are a big part of it
You might not be a fan of Meshuggah. But if you're a fan of metal, your favorite bands are either huge fans of and/or influenced by Meshuggah. It's always seemed strange to me how underrated they are, while having such a massive influence and changing an entire era of metal.
I've dropped out of the metal scene a lot since high school, Meshuggah has brought me back in in many ways, and i don't mean your basic Metallica type of stuff, I mean real real heavy happenings, all because of their drummer, I can't fucking stop listening to their god damn shit! he is a god to me like Bon from Led Zep, Eric Moore with his huge banging chops, just can't stop listening. So smooth, so on point, such a god damn inspiration that I can't even explain.
The dude abides this level of heaviness
I love this song insanely but the dude at 8:28 cracks me up everytime
I understand that exact face. Saw Meshuggah last year and they seriously put you in a trance like state of intense, almost tribal focus on the beat. My shoes were weighed down with mud, so I couldn't really dance or jump around, so I just rocked back and forth.
I know it's in 4 or 12/8 or whatever, but the band is just so in synch it sounds like they just took a random off beat and said "this now an on beat, this is where we move" and everyone's just like "mkay"
We should do something about the issues they're adressing
i like that Meshuggah doesn’t overproduce their music like literally all other djent bands.
I will give you a microphone for saying
its hard, maybe first time even more tough. but its just, after all these years, so, so, so fucking beautiful. This track, these lyrics, this particular live video. It's so perfect. And if you are here you know. No words needed. But i had to write it off my chest. This shit is so fucking beautiful its breaks my heart, and it breaks it several times during this track. Fuck this shit man its not for every day use for sure. I want to drink another beer and feel lost and found at the same time while dwelling on this nonsense from Sweden. Its just, there is no further after this, maybe Born in dissonance, i will just put that on now.
my friend you should get into car bomb as well. i think you’ll find the beauty there too. a very different approach to music though.
I cannot believe how fucking tight this is, 10 minutes of perfectly executed complex music. Absolute gods
I listen to this shit whilst making my morning coffee and teacakes..... best fucking breakfast ever :)
don't forget to put some 'shuggah in your coffee!
I love how the audience is just moshing around to their own internal rhythm. Truly "Dancers to a discordant system"
Holy shit. Even though I've heard their songs so many times, sometimes it just feels like I'm hearing it for the first time and it blows my mind.
Tight riff and Fredrik Solo always give meditative feeling
WOW Guys clearly the best part at - 0:01 - 10:01
This song, my goodness... I've listened to the studio version since the album came out and now I've been listening to this live version every day. If you combined the total amount of times I've heard this song it's probably a thousand times which is almost 170 hours... Hard to believe but there's just something majestic about it.
That crazy part is they pretty much play fret board blind in the dark!
The message in the lyrics is strong af
zx
I absolutely adore that sensation of a circular rhythm that this song has
The guys are the Tool of extreme metal. On top of being one of the most innovative bands of their time, they're heavier than a fucking freight train running off the track and ramming into the side of a mountain. This song in particular is a masterpiece. I can't truly pick a favorite song. Phenomenal.
The irony is that Tool is one of their main influences!
@@im_in_immense_pain double irony is that tool loves them back, according to bill burr in one of their concerts tool's drummer was there and he was fucking amazed at the stuff haake was doing in bleed.
@@bonogiamboni4830 both Danny and Tomas are just stellar S+++ human beings as well
Oh god, I just read the lyrics for the first time and this is now my favorite song ever.
The drumming and guitar is so heavy that after a certain point in time you feel detached from your current reality and transported somewhere else - Unbelievable
8:04 from this moment on , i love this so much it is literally the BEST part of a concert i have ever witnessed in my life even i was not there. It gives me chills all over my body , its like all the song is only playing for this moment to unify everyone in one big wave of heavyness.Fucking amazing.
I _have_ to see those guys at least once in my lifetime
I have an 8-string guitar BECAUSE of Meshuggah....... definitely a great band to get into a new style of guitar playing! Great band!
I'm amazed of Jen's suspiring growls in this live, is like two voices overlapping each other. Overall great btw, this is pure Math Groove.
those two last minutes.... PERFECT !
That Outro!!!! kills me.
Meshuggah take a while to understand but once you get it there is no where else you can find that sound. It clicks and you go “Jesus Christ! This is just amazing!”
one of the most important metal band.
Kudos to the lighting people.
At 8:23 Thomas looks supremely satisfied with this song
it's his favourite from the ObZen album ;)
so he should. he just played that solo.
THE best Meshuggah song
although without the high notes on either side of the solo near the end it definitely loses some of it's brilliance
the solo is THE fcking best part!
schpleeb mhm
They said they would never play this LIVE! But im 10 years late
my favorite song off an incredible album
im so glad there are so many people that love this song as much as i do. you guys rock
That solo though. that solo
These guys just get better and better - like an invincible force of metal. So innovative, super-technical rhythms, makes me want to pull my own face off.
This song is perfect!
I'm having glorious flashbacks of this show at Mill City Nights in Minneapolis. Craziest light show I've ever experienced
6:03 - 6:33 I could take a bath in that riff
+NoLa I bathe in my own tears when I hear that part
As a lighting guy, props to their lighting guy! I've seen other videos of him operating. I'm a musician so my timing is good and he's got that same kind of timing.. .really on-point and with the music. One thing is you actually have to offset your cues slightly early to make up for lag, so it's a little extra weird.
He is a family member of the band and has been with them forever! Timing is everything, and it shows how well they work together.
Holy shit that was heavy
Jonathan Linderer Dude I'm just curious, I met a dude named Jonathan Linderer in California in 2014 and I'll shit if it's you lol just scrolling through comments and music on youtube
Haha yup that was me! Who is this?
Jonathan Linderer it's James Knapp. I hung out with cintron a lot and we always talked about playing guitar
SEMAJ oh haha! hell yeah, you had the spider valve stack right? what are you doing now man?
What are the fucking chances of this happening? ....
What a god damn legend of a song.
Picked up an 8 string today and it was the only song I could think of.
this is jazz. but its metal. and its djent. but that intro is totally jazz! wtf meshuggah!
theyre playing at te Bortreux (or something) jaz festival I France this summer I believe
I'm well into my 30's. Tell me, which came first? Djent or Meshuggah?
thanx man, gotta keep up on all these lables i guess :/
+Gigerian Frederick described Meshuggahs style as 'djent' in like the 90-00s can't remember who with or what on though, that's where it came from
Be cause No he didn't. He was just describing a guitar tone. It was in a Meshuggah fan newsletter in the late 90s. He said it that one time only.
Lol that Lebowski shirt, though!
El duderino!
Brilliant choice!
\m/ LABOWSKI!!!
Unbelievable Track. This is real music. Masterpiece
While everyone's feeling butthurt and whinging about this amazing band, I'd just like to point out that they are the tightest motherfuckers! So good, love Meshuggah!
I saw Meshuggah for the first time last year, yeah this old man (me) was all the way in the front, just one or two people in front of me. It was so fucking awesome!! I only got kick in the head once from some crowd surfing, and only elbowed someone in the face (totally accidentally of course). But the thing that really stuck me about the music...as side from it's heaviness was it's trace effect. I was spaced out high (natural, no drugs) for at least 24 hours after the show. Meshuggah is trance music, metal of course, but trance music.
Words cannot describe any aspect of this video
Meshuggah- the only band to make any other metal band sound like my little pony.
I'm watching every Meshuggah video I can find until they release a single from their upcoming album
same hahah :D then im watching that 2000 times and then ill be back to sourcing youtube until they release the album
metal injection has it right now
Aaron Dixon one song yes... And its not even good.... Im disappointed
+THERAMMSTEINFAN490 I think it's fantastic good sir
TheMeatballMen fair enough :P what would life be without contraring opinions..
Goddamn I want to see them live so bad :o
+Amira Tora Lloyd I love meshuggah and I love meat
+Amira Tora Lloyd I hope you will!
They are fucking amazing live. :)
I was a moderate fan until I saw them live, now I'm absolutely obsessed
Whatever it takes, DO IT! I wasn't aware of them until they opened for Tool back in '00 and I kinda spent all of Tool's set contemplating how awesome Meshuggah was! \m/
hahah man that lights me up xD finally someone who enjoys both. fuck yes meshuggah blew me away too, though i havent seen them live yet, it is a different kind of amazement from tool definitely
One of the greats. A song that takes more then one listen before it clicks and then you yearn for the maniacal repetitiveness to kick in. It's almost meditative.
Obzen is probably one of my other favorites off of this album
That 8 string thunderbird though....
mate thats not a thunderbird... its an iceman.
Its neither, its his new "Stoneman" from the Ibanez LAC's shop. AVH Guitar repair has a write up on it.
It's a mixture of iceman, thunderbird, and Explorer with the knobs being placed like a flying V.
+PalePrince it looks like a thunderbird , not and ice man mate
InsideJob I know this comment is super old but it's his signature model called the Stoneman
To the guy in the front row with the DTP shirt: you win.
