Switzerland created the FOCS-1 atomic clock; a clock so precise, that if you were to look at it thirty million years from now, it wouldn't even be one second off. Sweden's answer to this was Meshuggah.
The more of him I watch and listen to, the more I’m convinced he’s one of the greatest vocalists out there. I’m also convinced that he may actually have the hardest job up on that stage. The vocal phrasing and the way he syncopates up there, all while producing some of the most kind bending screams I’ve ever heard… he’s pushing himself to the limit. Super impressive to watch. I’m a drummer. I almost never say that about the guys holding the microphones.
@@spike05 It's a shame that a lot of new gojira fans have never heard Terra Incogtina... still my favorite of their releases because its SO FUCKIGN HEAVY, but I love and respect the changes the band made throughout their discography
@@spike05 I know right, I honestly think it's underrated in the metal scene. Gojira is hugely famous but that album isn't talked about. I think its less accessible than their more recent works though. it's a very avant garde album.
i dont know if satan exist and I dont fallow any particular religion but these have to be the most satanic lyrics ive heard in my life. he is literally calling for the return of what some call the antichrist. dope drummer though, haake is up there with carey.
+rastabg23 No actually they mostly talk about how reality is an evil illusion created by satanic forces and how we need to get the fuck out of here with meditation and drugs and shit
+Thomas Hinds yeah... agreed. Sometimes it seems like some of these Europeans understand the English language better than we do. A lot of it is very well written. Lying and deceiving seems to be a somewhat common theme throughout their tunes.
Usually I don't disagree to this, but now that I see your profile picture, I'll have to point out that there's, at the very least, a heavy contender ;)
@@mortenhansen3455 You mean musically speaking? If not, this song can be easily interpreted as a description of the Antichrist, someone in pursuit of a higher form of existence willing to deceive humanity and calling us to follow "the god of cyanide"
U just made me realize that's the only time I care about the lyrics of a metal song, I prefer instrumental metal unless the vocals and lyrics are as heavy as the instruments.
All are headbanging and then there's Jens 😂 I love how they headbang together and stop at the same time, like they had already planned and memorized the headbanging pattern.
synchronized headbangs are one of the best things on earth, especially when meshuggah does it. Slipknot are another prime example, back in their self titled days they used to do synchronized jumps and headbangs.
Agree 100% its the best sound I've heard on a youtube upload. At least for the genre. I always refer to this specific upload as much as possible. Its fantastic.
BananaSlayer64 I saw them in Nashville last month. fucking awesome. didn't like the opening band at all though. The mosh pit went throughout their whole performance. felt like I got hit my a truck for three days after
This is one of the only bands I've seen where their live performances are just as good as, if not better than, the studio releases. I think the only other one I can think of is Gojira.
Ive seen TOOL live and they do a really incredible job. All their members are masters of their craft and they have some of the best lighting effects ive seen. but nothing tops this.
thats the look of absolute awe, he has the gaze of someone watching the world end before his eyes and admiring the pure savage beauty. Like watching a nuclear explosion or a black hole swallowing the earth. Meshuggah's raw energy is so much greater than anything he ever thought could exist that he is absolutely mesmerized
Texan American I do say that at every show I go to. Because they are mostly death metal shows, ppl there understand that Pantera is whiny preteen music for those that can't handle real metal aggression and speed.
Fuckin meshuggah man... Its like this band knows exactly how to write all they're albums to my specific liking. They can do no wrong, only awesomeness.
Whenever I listen to New Millennium Cyanide Christ I can't help (amongst unsynchronised headbanging) but to imagine humanoid desperate for immortality trying it hardest to turn immortal via technology. Always get that biomechanic vibe I get from H.R. Geiger's art. Truly a work of art
Tomas Haake is used by our solar system as measurement unit. If you had early easter, it's because he played the hi-hat in 23,7/8, causing a variation in earth angle of rotation.
3:37 should be "A cleansing worshiping pain". I know that it sounds like something different, but those are the lyrics from the website, and on the album. Otherwise, thanks again for having the lyrics with the video!

Sweden's answer to this was Meshuggah.
Haake*
that was so fucking metal
Lord Voltain .... *I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND IT... BUT IT SOUNDS AWESOME*
sounds all like 4/4 to me. no difficulty there
he didn't say anything about difficulty
i swear they stopped playing cyanide christ because they fear for peoples safety when the breakdown hits
Jens' stage presence is so fucking badass
like, his facial expressions alone could command armies
Armies of djentelments
I think the swedish Kratos might have looked at me at summer during their Oulu concert. It was like Medusas stare. I froze and it was terrifying

@@alexbaum2204 yeah you know he’s good when a drummer says that about him and he’s in the same band as Tomas fucking Haake!
It's funny as shit though. Guy seems like he knows his face is a meme worthy
So New Millennium Cyanide Christ is basically Cyborg Jesus.
I think I get it.
And he's the opposite of Republican Jesus.
Cyborg Jesus = Keanu on Cyberpunk
I think they're talking about the Heaven's Gate cult. They killed themselves to hitch a ride on a comet and become higher lifeforms.
@@caseybv74 That is messed up but metal as fuck
No it describes swedish society
Just mind blowing to think that they wrote NMCC in 1998.
BirthEATER99 Its even crazier that they wrote music like this in 1990
It's even crazier than they have been around since 1987
What's even crazier is that they're all norse gods and have been alive for thousands of years.
It's even crazier to think that these guys were born in the 70s
The same year Refused wrote New noise, which would forever change punk/hardcore. And both bands come from the small town of Umeå in northern Sweden.
That ending of New Millennium is so fierce. Wish it went on for ten minutes...
@Blacknight 209 its because on the studio version they play on 7 string guitars ,while live here its 8 strings guitar ,more deeper ,fierce sound :D
@@UrosVukovicObr Its also much more raw sounding, because its live.
Yes brothers we shall form a circle to the outro and freak the fuck out!!!!!
@Blacknight 209 it's how it was when they played transfixion when i saw them. fucking crushing
Yeah. They are just tight man.
When im seeing this...i feel gojira is lightweight metal
Still heavier also
Gojira still very heavy
@@spike05 It's a shame that a lot of new gojira fans have never heard Terra Incogtina... still my favorite of their releases because its SO FUCKIGN HEAVY, but I love and respect the changes the band made throughout their discography

GODDAMN IT MUST FEEL GOOD BEING IN MESHUGGAH.
Right? I would look forward to each show just to hear my own concert!
it must feel God to be in Meshuggah
the metal version of playing first chair violin for the new York Philharmonic, i'd imagine

Song from 1998 btw
My buddy beat the shit out of his piece of shit stepdad when he was 17. One of my favorite stories

the thing is you're not wrong

If machines can fail, then Haake is the oscilation cicle of a Caesium Atom
kaxitaksi he’s fucking insane
Yes he is very unique. I love his work.
makes metallica's later albums sound like johnny cash
+Boston Stump funny how metallica were one of their primary influences in the start
Nothing wrong with Johnny Cash tho
Boston Stump Well we are talking about two different genres, and Metallica influenced Messhugah alot.
Boston Stump I know it was 2 years ago but if you dont know, check out gojira
Car Bomb are heavily influenced by Meshuggah, but on their album Meta I think they come into their own! And Uneven Structure are phenomenal
that end breakdown in New Millennium always gets me...
Sebastian Knee-Wright where they play that riff? yeah thats the stuff
funny thing is their songs are one continuous breakdown ahaha
Is it the face?
Me too
Pioneers. Leaders. Pathmakers. Colossal. Mystical.Unfathomable. Menacing. Monstrous. MESHUGGAH.
wow that's a comment
Truly satanic. And no it's not a good thing.
Immutable.

Ever heard of a band called gojira? Their great. They basically play each song like its from the album
@@keeganbrewington792 mostly play better than the album
You should watch the meshuggah ophidian trek live album then
One of the few metal bands that have lyrics that are as heavy as the instruments
U just made me realize that's the only time I care about the lyrics of a metal song, I prefer instrumental metal unless the vocals and lyrics are as heavy as the instruments.
All of Meshuggahs lyrics are insanely dark💀
I am imagining Bill Burr watching this and losing his shit.
Some kind of Sharri's berries/meshuggah collaboration is needed....
I love his vid
I lost my mind to this
This is great deadlift, and squat music.
Absolutely. They're always on my playlist to boost my weightlifting training to another level.

*just putting this here so it’s easier for me to get to*
The rhythm section is like the eternal pulse of the universe...the guitar is evolution in action...the vocals the voice of truth explaining all...
hits blunt :D
The drums the heartbeat of creation
Shit dude, I like that
shit can i get some of that?
thomas haakes right hand controls time itself
whoever did the audio for this was on point. \m/
Pick up the Alive on Vinyl, you wont regret it.
totally, it sounds great.
The audio here is shit compared to the actual thing. This is extra shitty compression here.
you should see their Lighting guy. Its literally an instrument in itself./an extra band member
Agree 100% its the best sound I've heard on a youtube upload. At least for the genre. I always refer to this specific upload as much as possible. Its fantastic.
that riff in new millenium cyanide christ at 2.06, fuck my ass is that awesome
+Phil Gillespie FUCK. MY. ASS.
that' just the oopening riff again
MuffMuff36 it's somehow even more aggressive
This is the FUCKING OMEGA OF HEAVY!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Beatie
Very, very rarely does a band impress me as much as these guys do. It’s almost unbelievable how good and unique they are.
totally agree
This sounds even better live OMG
i dont care if i was 10 i should have went to that show
+Anarchist Tomato shame on you!!!
Same
after this I need a moment...
I totally get why everyone's crazy with their music but can we take a moment and also enjoy the greatest lyrics of all time?
OH MY GOD. NMCC is an insanely more powerful beast with lyrics..
I'm going to one of their shows next month, it's probably gonna be the best day of my miserable life.
BananaSlayer64 I saw them in Nashville last month. fucking awesome. didn't like the opening band at all though. The mosh pit went throughout their whole performance. felt like I got hit my a truck for three days after
Was the opening band High on Fire?
BananaSlayer64 yeah I believe that was their name
BananaSlayer64
wish you the best☺
Simon I already went, it was fucking amazing!
Meshuggah makes me so happy damn also the lyrics dude the lyrics
equivalent power of thermonuclear strike
3:19 That moment when you just wish you were there on the stage headbanging with them... that part of the song is just magical
Can't wait for them to tour on South America again, there's no way i'm missing them live
That's what stands out to me the most from their old live shows. They always headbang in sync with each other at the heaviest parts. So cool to see
This is one of the only bands I've seen where their live performances are just as good as, if not better than, the studio releases. I think the only other one I can think of is Gojira.
Early SOAD as well
Ive seen TOOL live and they do a really incredible job. All their members are masters of their craft and they have some of the best lighting effects ive seen. but nothing tops this.
Pantera were way better on stage
Theres other bands out there that aren't metal but yes Meshuggah is amazing for being so accurate considering how difficult this stuff is
Jinjer
Bass of "Stengah", I can't describe, just banging here.
I replace my bones with bars
pun intended?
gods walking amoungst mere mortals
Kid at 3:52 is too metal for this
He's like "ayy lmao wts dis"
+Alex Menendez I always think hes more like in a stasis mode. Like he sees god.
when you have to concentrate on not dying
thats the look of absolute awe, he has the gaze of someone watching the world end before his eyes and admiring the pure savage beauty. Like watching a nuclear explosion or a black hole swallowing the earth. Meshuggah's raw energy is so much greater than anything he ever thought could exist that he is absolutely mesmerized
Yeah those eyes just hypnotized :))
Let's apreciate how calm and yet so powerfull Thomas are while playing .
6:15 Fredrik literally THREW himself into that headbanging!!!
They've done for metal in the 21st century, what Pantera did for metal in the 90s'. Simply amazing grooves beyond my comprehension..
these guys have been around for the last 25 years or so...........and also, FUCK pantera
What I said is true. 100 percent. Pantera will always be top dog.. Hands down no contest.
yeah its great, now we have a billion bands that all sound the same, truly great.
haha yeah pantera was fucking shitty, dimebag was really overrated as well, its so stupid.
Texan American I do say that at every show I go to. Because they are mostly death metal shows, ppl there understand that Pantera is whiny preteen music for those that can't handle real metal aggression and speed.

Catch Thirtythree and Nothing will always be my favorite albums
never forget the mighty ObZen
Oh my God, they broke my brain... these riffs, this heaviness... marverlous
The ending of New Millenium Cyanide Christ is just MASSIVE. Holy shit! It gets me every time! \m/,
What a lovely song, I'll talk to my pastor to sing it nexr sunday at the service. Just to lift up our spirits.
And dicks/clitorids
the tapping solo in the mouth licking what you've bled is honestly some of the greatest moments in all of music.. 13:05
'Shuggah concerts must be so cathartic. Hope I catch them at least once in my lifetime.
Why does new millenium sound so THICC
I was a fan of this band since I was 12, now I am 78
Happy birthday to raghu
No joke this music puts me in a trance while meditating and stretching
Canadian mosh pit: ope, sorry I bumped into ya, eh.
Your turn now eh, I'll wait for mine.
you made my day mate
this is montreal bud they dnt tlk like tht
Actually they will only do thst if you fall. If not they act like maniacs in the pit
No matter how many bands rip them off, nobody can top Meshuggah.
Holy fucking SHIT that solo at 2:56 made me tear up a little from the shear brutality
That's where they get their name
How I wish they still played this song live! Its by far still my fav song by them! I seen them in Boston this year 2023! Epic show!
Meshuggah is pure metal. It should be on the periodic table.
It's like tank warfare. Tanks crashing into each other at full speed. It's glorious.

this is not a concert. This is 5 geniuses at work.

Feels like these metal songs can understand you better than people around you.
So talented
I love a bass eq punch in this video!
If you like advanced mathematics and extreme metal....boy here is Meshuggah. I do.
Seeing them live is something else. So much more intense.
This band seems promising, will be fun to see where their career goes!

You know a song is good when within the first 10 seconds all you can say is “Jesus Christ”
try to not headbenging...... impossible
The lyrics go so fuckin perfect with the music. Great stuff
This is just sheer power. Feels like planets crashing into each other.
perfect sound quality
that scream at 14:58 is ex-fucking-quisite
4:10 is a shining example of the perfect breakdown
Watching a stunned crowd take in the full measure of what would be considered a lyrical nuclear blast ...priceless.

Did not forget to watch this today.
