"Do not fast forward through anything in this. It is powerful buildup of mood achieved from this segment that is only fully appreciated by a patient ear." Man, that's the most important thing to say. This shit Is Prog! You have to be patient to enjoy the complexity of this masterpiece!
If you listen to the recurring noodling guitar motif in the background, you'll notice that for MOST of the album, the notes are "G...F...F#...", repeat. The first 2 notes resolve to the 3rd. My way of seeing this is that each one of those notes represents 1/3 of a paradox, and the constant, unending struggle to make sense of the world's contradictions. But in THIS song, the pattern is just "G...!!F#!!..." I think this represents the finality of death. No paradox, no struggle, just... resolution.
The feeding frenzy of my starving soul, gnawing voraciously at the bones; the exo skeletal patchwork protecting my own reflection within the twin and same engaged in the mirrored act of chewing away at the shell of my attacking self, the paradox unseen treacherous this deceit; to make no choice matter to have and yet lose yourself, until finally all reasons why are forgotten to live through one's own shadow, mute and minded, is to totally see eclipse the golden mirror, and the reflection is set free
I saw this in live Seattle; it was spectacular - Meshuggah's one of the best live and studio bands around, especially considering how long they've been around and the fact that they come out after their concerts and meet the fans. It was even better for me, since my dad is good friends with Dick, the bass player, and I got to meet the entire band backstage. One of the greatest days of my life, that day.
when i first bought this album i was not expecting it to annihilate everything within a ten thousand mile radius of me. hope they come out with a new album next year cuz they said they were writing new material.
Out of all the metal bands today, Meshuggah never cease to amaze and inspire me. They've got the balls to go against what everyone else is doing, including most "death metal bands" of these days. I have a varied music style, from trance, classic rock, metal to even some jazz fusion. I'm proud to say that Meshuggah takes up a large portion of the memory on my ipod.
I just had something happen to me, and then coming back and listening to this... The lyrics describe everything perfectly. My mind is blown into more bits than a shattered mirror right now.
The first time I heard these lyrics, they didn't make sense to me. As life plodded on, I realized more and more what these words meant to me. Meshuggah has really helped me by way of hitting the soul with things that make more sense as life goes on, I wish I can thank them in person for what they've given me haha
Ive experienced this twice already, and even though I knew what was coming, my god was it amazing both times. They're playing a lot of European festivals this summer so definitely go catch them, they're one of the best live bands to have ever graced this earth.
@Eddyles This song is so epic, so is every other song written, performed, produced, not-produced, evrything about them is just wow. Meshuggah have and will always be kings of djent.
@KainVKail I agree that it is good to listen to multiple genres of music, but it is always great to see that young people are listening to intellectualy stimulating music like Meshuggah
I saw them in April this year, and they played Mind's Mirrors, In Death Is Life and In Death Is Death in their entirety. It was INSANE. Definitely worth seeing, none of us knew they were gonna play it, but then all the lights went green and dark and we were just struck in the face with that DJUN at the start of Mind's Mirrors. incredible.
@RaKanMusik Well it may not be complex just off of theory, but I consider the entire finished product complex based on a certain principle: it's likelihood of being most original, or hardest to emulate. I have literally never heard an album of this structure, genius, organization, play-style...this album has everything. Five minutes extrapolating minute changes in rhythms, observed over extraordinary numbers of bars...tribal beats, insane, revolutionary, and simply SICK fucking music...complex.
@frzscat You ever listened to the latter portion of "In Death - Is Death"? I'm listening to it right now. This is some amazing music. This is music your average band in a bar could not up and compose off of the tops of their heads, or even the bottoms for that matter. As I said, while the music theory aspect alone may not offer consolidating satisfaction, the entire product is to be awed upon. Putting music out there and saying "this is who we are" is bold - it is not simple. It is complex.
@R4vetastic Right. We can only be sure of what we can observe and calculate. That's what we have science and mathemathics for. But knowing is not only about being sure, it's about understanding the boundaries and limitations on our knowledge, and not neccessarily accepting them, but moving forward in a methodical manner.
I would say this brings a sense of a near death experience. Some deep thinking with your inner self. It's like seeing your own self infront of you and doubting about your own existance. Wondering if death and life do really exist. Finding out that there is something behind your human body
@derekd234 no, those are the runtimes of the segments in this video, not where in the video they start in death - is death is actually 13:22 long, but this video was uploaded when videos could only be 10 minutes long, and that's why it cuts off before the segment finishes
@R4vetastic Time is not a river, it is a state of being. Velocity and gravity both affect the perception of time, because they make processes progress more slowly.
I used to sit and listen to this album in its entirety (I can't count how many times I must have done this). Sometimes, I would smoke and do it. It has been far too long since I have popped this in and just listened to it as it was supposed to be listened to - one full beautiful piece of music.
@jsabbott0 Pretty nice observation! I always paid attention to the three note motif, but never realized that the motif turning into only two notes could have a special meaning. Of course it has...on an album like this, everything has a reason.
@Pager1991 In a way they do. If you were to approach it the gravity is so strong it slows the object down to almost a complete stop...from the outside perspective if we were watching it.
@anwakeling I've realized there's another piece of art from the past that somehow relates with this section of C33 - Emerson, Lake & Palmer "Tarkus", particularly the "Eruption" segment. Try looking out for it on YT, you may be surprised.
@clarkshapedbox Nice! When Obzen came myself and another lad got a few buckets into us just before we threw it on, ten minutes later we were crying laughing at how heavy it was! :D
@dujl Thoughts are vibrations like sound waves, but just on a different frequency. Everything has a frequency which it is vibrating at, so thoughts are technically physical. But this is also to say that all physical reality is just a vibration of 'energy' or whatever you want to call it. There really is no true human word for it. It simply is everything that is. What we perceive as physical is a projection from within the mind created through infinite levels of vibrating information.
@signorellil I've actually seen that movie, and that fits quite well with this song, especially with the vocoder, the slower tempo and the eeriness of it. The rest of the album is really mechanical, which is why I said panzer tank. That 4/4 that the drummer plays around is like the ticking hand on the god-wheel of time.
@dujl Yes the pineal gland is responsible for your circadian rhythm as well. It is quite an important part of the brain. It connects you with the very core of yourself, and probably has a lot to do with instinct. There is still a lot more information to this that you are not yet aware of. There are more frequencies currently given names by science including gamma, epsilon, and lambda. These frequencies can continue to increase or decrease in either direction.
@Netravick no it does not slow down the object, it sucks the object in. a black hole is a 3-dimension hole in the fabric of space and time, the black hole has super gravity and therefore it sucks in the object and stretches it out until it is a stream of atoms entering the hole itself. the hole is very tiny and therefore it squeezes whatever matter it takes in and compacts them, and the most efficient way of doing so is to break it down into singular atoms.
@R4vetastic A planck length is generally the smallest unit for distance that is used in physics to measure events. Google planck time if you don't know what it is.
@cameronl777 When you have studied and played music professionally for like 15 years you get to a point where you appreciate three half steps going "ding ding ding" for 5 minutes. Instead of a bunch of petty noises, it's one REALLY deep one. Like an adult who enjoys black coffee without all that fucking extra shit. Plus, there is a LOT of music in three notes a half step apart. I like how it builds up, and then "explodes" at 3:42 into three mini ones that go flying off like musical debris.
saw them a few weeks ago in glasgow. The played this then In Death is life and is death... Genuine shivers down my spine. Get yourself to one of their concerts ASAP!
@R4vetastic I like your deliberate use of "cosciousness", like it had any merit in this debate. Consciousness is what all humans have, but it does little for understanding how the universe works. Like any rational person, unlike yourself would tell you, it's all about scientific awareness and rational thought processing.
@ShreddingDragon Yup, changed the way I look at this whole album. Also worth noting is that I think I was a half-step too high - pretty sure the notes are "F#-E-F". Finally, I went back and listened to the whole album for more clues on the motif, and it's not just "IDID" that changes it up. On "Sum" the motif is just the first note (probably relates to the previous track's "one syllable, one vowel" bit)
@R4vetastic Thoughts are physical. They represent physical conditions of the world around us and our own bodily state. Misrepresentation occurs due lack of information or insight in cause and effect. Sometimes the mind itself is unhealthy, which tips the scales of reality unevenly.
I believe they downtuned the low F on the guitars until the strings were nearly coming off and flapping about. It works to great effect imo. you can hear the strings hitting against the pickups.
Adam Bellamy Uh....no. They used Ibanez LACS 8 strings with a 30” scale length to facilitate this tuning. The longer scale length allows for better tension and clarity in the lower registers. However, the “Nothing” album was originally recorded with downtuned 7 strings and those were a pain in the ass to record due to the lack of tuning stability. You can hear a huge difference in the guitars on the “Nothing” reissue.
DC 33879 Adam was referring to the guitar in minds mirrors, which I believe is a guitar tuned to E0, or two octaves below standard, on the lowest string.
@nubfaceforthelose: low F is the standard tuning they play in, you can get this effect with a tremolo, by making a nice divebomb and hitting the strings.
I know and love this song as well as any I've ever(considerable), I know every step but couldn't tell you how. The sway averts so naturally to me. Most people think themselves "musical" or "music person". I am a musician and one thing I've seen is that REAL MUSICIANS all appreciate their work!!
Really nothing for me to sing along, but that's what makes the music so interesting. Plus the lyrics are really out of this world. Perfect music for my mp3 player.
@Tiranozauras Black holes in no way shape or form "stop time", there is nothing that we know if that has the ability to "stop time" as time is believed to have "always been and always will" I believe the top theories with black holes involve exits through white holes. Black holes are holes in the fabric of space-time and I have no idea how that can be seen as "stopping time"
@SoilentGr33n That defiantly reminds me of the fans of the band Tool, people are entitled to their own opinions about the interpretation of a song and that's it, don't be thinking you're all a higher intelligence all together because you find meaning in a song. Just love the music because it's orgasmic. \m/
"Heed it commands, Heed you will Bleed, it says, Bleed you will"- -"My Reaper accompanies me in the act of nothing, A Sneering Grin, The voice of My Reaper, Sing a Song to My Deletion Chanting softly the Song of Depletion"- Words of Meshuggah, Bleed
I got to see them do this entire sequence. by the time in death/is death kicked off, almost the entire crowd just stood in awe head bobbing- no moshing for like 3 or 4 minutes. i've never been part of such surreal crowd in my life lol.
@Thraxxacor The greatest part about this album is you really don't need to be under the influence to understand what is going on. Than again music is my drug.
@R4vetastic Everything in a sense originates from outside sources. The mind simply decodes it in the ways it needs to. As I can agree things are within the mind, I can also say that there are things beyond the simple mind. Sometimes the mind is actually what can get in the way of what is really happening. This is just from my experiences and observations.
@dujl I've already sent you videos with scientific studies and explanations, but you felt it would be best to completely ignore it and not watch it. I don't see how I'm clinging to any kind of belief system when I am simply taking this from a different approach. You are the one who is clingy to think that science is the ultimate answer to finding out anything. Your understanding of science is still confined to the 3rd dimension. Another approach must be taken to understand beyond the physical.
Catch Thirtythree is the best Messugah album, (in my opinion) Also the other albums: Chaosphere, Nothing, Destroy Erase improve, ObZen... So.. I have no words...
@anwakeling Actually you may have a point here, as for some reason this has - funnily - always reminded me of the dialogue between the astronaut and the sentient/self aware thermonuclear device in John Carpenter's early movie's "Dark Star" (check it out on YT)
@R4vetastic No, that's wrong. It doesn't get larger, it gets smaller. You can't place the atom exactly, since you can't calculate the exact location of the electron at a specific point in time. You can only determine it by observing it directly. Light is a wave, but it is also a particle, but cannot be observed as both simultaneously. Infinitesimals are theoretic intities. The fact that you can divide a real number a potential infinite ammount of times shouldn't surprise you.
@R4vetastic A schizophrenic also has problems processing information, but that doesn't make them more aware. By taking those drugs, you make your mind more like the mind of a schizophrenic. I hope you're aware of this.
Yes, it was programmed. That's acctually how they recorded a lot of their albums, in an interview with Haake he stated "We used to sit around the same computer programming tracks but not anymore in ObZen." Although they all did this they are still fantastic musicians and can play anything they program 100%.
The struggle to free myself of youtube ads, becomes my very shackles ...
Adblock. 30 seconds time to install, a lifetime without UA-cam ads.

The struggle to ignore dumb, vapid whining becomes my very shackles...

"Do not fast forward through anything in this. It is powerful buildup of mood achieved from this segment that is only fully appreciated by a patient ear."
Man, that's the most important thing to say. This shit Is Prog! You have to be patient to enjoy the complexity of this masterpiece!
And yet it’s skipped through the first half of the album lol
This is the only song i've ever listened to that legitimately freaked me out a little, the intro is absolutely insane. Freakin' love Meshuggah
Meshuggah are gods. End of story.
The greatest metal album ever made.
Beat Therapy agree
+sukadikandi NICE LYSOL PROFILE PIC FUCK YES
hell yes, brethren
The start is what happens every time that extra spicy burrito hits
God damnit I can't listen to this song without think of that 😂
If you listen to the recurring noodling guitar motif in the background, you'll notice that for MOST of the album, the notes are "G...F...F#...", repeat. The first 2 notes resolve to the 3rd. My way of seeing this is that each one of those notes represents 1/3 of a paradox, and the constant, unending struggle to make sense of the world's contradictions. But in THIS song, the pattern is just "G...!!F#!!..." I think this represents the finality of death. No paradox, no struggle, just... resolution.
I remember being a 13 year old girl listening to this. I'm 26 now and it still gives me goosebumps
they’ve been around so long, like that one horror movie that every parent owned and when we were little we got straight PTSD from it 😂
this album is so strong it will always be remembered
The feeding frenzy of my starving soul, gnawing voraciously at the bones;
the exo skeletal patchwork protecting my own reflection within
the twin and same engaged in the mirrored act of chewing away
at the shell of my attacking self, the paradox unseen
treacherous this deceit;
to make no choice matter
to have and yet lose yourself, until finally all reasons why are forgotten
to live through one's own shadow, mute and minded, is to totally see
eclipse the golden mirror, and the reflection is set free
Its "mute and blinded is to really see"
That riff is so deep yet so easy to play. Amazing how much you can do with so little.
You know, the...ambient noise behind the vocals reminds me of the chair-creaking intro to "Prison sex" By tool.
Alexis Wynter Yes: Floppy strings on a distorded guitar. Probably done with a floating bridge
The interlude between Mind's Mirrors and In Death Is Life never fails to send shudders up my spine.
I saw this in live Seattle; it was spectacular - Meshuggah's one of the best live and studio bands around, especially considering how long they've been around and the fact that they come out after their concerts and meet the fans. It was even better for me, since my dad is good friends with Dick, the bass player, and I got to meet the entire band backstage. One of the greatest days of my life, that day.
This is what I assume the end of the world would sound like
+SohoZiff haha indeed
+SohoZiff ..Don't worry, it will! (The beginning will be even crazier.)
hell yea
I have been at the end of the world and I can confirm.
when i first bought this album i was not expecting it to annihilate everything within a ten thousand mile radius of me. hope they come out with a new album next year cuz they said they were writing new material.
Out of all the metal bands today, Meshuggah never cease to amaze and inspire me. They've got the balls to go against what everyone else is doing, including most "death metal bands" of these days.

Yeah man, these boys and Strapping Young Lad....oh what they've given me hahah
LikeLickingBirds Me too x3
They were influenced by tool, that's what tool did to me
Damien Rios I really don't think so...
Well what are telling me for, go find out for yourself.
i cant stop listening to this
Every time I put this on, I'm ready to *FUCK SHIT UP*.
+Lain Iwakura Nice to see you here Lain.
whenever I am being a lazy fucktard I listen to this guys, and there's always something that makes me go out there and 'fuck shit up'.
The first time I heard this, I totally understood what he was saying. I love this.
Impossible
so upset track 2 on the album is not available in my country -_-
I'm with you, bud. What country are you in?
+Neurosis A.D. us
+Galen “Leny” Carr I have an easy solution, buy the physical album.
or just use a vpn like me; just sayin
For some reason, this always reminds me to buy chicken drumsticks at the grocery store. Especially around 4:28. Finger lickin' good.
Chicken Tomas Haake said so?
Thanks for the reminder. I'm going shopping.
love it brohammer, HELL YEAHHH!!!!
The insanity of existence made music. I always return to this record when things appear too absurd. Because they are. It gives me strength.
Ive experienced this twice already, and even though I knew what was coming, my god was it amazing both times. They're playing a lot of European festivals this summer so definitely go catch them, they're one of the best live bands to have ever graced this earth.
the detuned rumbles hit you so hard in the chest, it's incredible
Wow, philosophy and Meshuggah walk hand in hand. Who would have thought of something like that...?
Noooo it stopped during the best part
+Robyn Withrow It is one song cut into 13 peices. If you want one song only check out the album called "I".
+Nuclear Disco Donkey uh no... it cut out during the epic god Damn breakdown.
@Eddyles This song is so epic, so is every other song written, performed, produced, not-produced, evrything about them is just wow. Meshuggah have and will always be kings of djent.

@iLoveDaSweetLeaf
The paradox of Meshuggah for me is they say the opposite of everything they mean. I love it.
@R4vetastic Right. We can only be sure of what we can observe and calculate. That's what we have science and mathemathics for. But knowing is not only about being sure, it's about understanding the boundaries and limitations on our knowledge, and not neccessarily accepting them, but moving forward in a methodical manner.

@R4vetastic Time is not a river, it is a state of being. Velocity and gravity both affect the perception of time, because they make processes progress more slowly.
Meshuggah is waaaaaaaaaaaaay better live than in studio. Their live show when I went to see Decapitated is what got me into them.
I used to sit and listen to this album in its entirety (I can't count how many times I must have done this). Sometimes, I would smoke and do it. It has been far too long since I have popped this in and just listened to it as it was supposed to be listened to - one full beautiful piece of music.
For the second part of "In Death -- Is Death" there is a live video.
@jsabbott0 Pretty nice observation! I always paid attention to the three note motif, but never realized that the motif turning into only two notes could have a special meaning. Of course it has...on an album like this, everything has a reason.
I had this experience yesterday.
Distortion fest in Holland-Eindhoven.
They opened with this, best thing ever.
@Pager1991 In a way they do. If you were to approach it the gravity is so strong it slows the object down to almost a complete stop...from the outside perspective if we were watching it.

i was on the verge of tears seeing meshuggah, especially when they played this...
I saw them in Dallas last night. They played this in it's entirety. I don't know if any band can top how fucking insane it was.

I remember when this album first came out. I was 11 back then and that robotic voice scared the living hell out of me.
Hey man thanks for uploading this, saw them play this the other night in Brighton and it was immense! Pretty sure its 'In death is life' though...
These three tracks combined... my favourite Meshuggah sequence, perhaps
@dujl Yes the pineal gland is responsible for your circadian rhythm as well. It is quite an important part of the brain.

Best intro into one of the best songs...
@R4vetastic A planck length is generally the smallest unit for distance that is used in physics to measure events. Google planck time if you don't know what it is.
this is so great man.. one of meshuggahs best songs. 5 stars
This is a great song, but I find the beginning very disturbing. Its beautiful, yet rather scary at the same time...

genious.. this album is a pure masterpiece in every aspect..! the weird rhythmes rule!!
the beginning is just absolutley spine chilling.

@nubfaceforthelose: low F is the standard tuning they play in, you can get this effect with a tremolo, by making a nice divebomb and hitting the strings.
So I guess this is the continuation of Gorguts sweet silence
That makes sense! Aha. Well noticed.
One of the best chord progressions I've ever heard: 8:49
I know and love this song as well as any I've ever(considerable), I know every step but couldn't tell you how. The sway averts so naturally to me. Most people think themselves "musical" or "music person". I am a musician and one thing I've seen is that REAL MUSICIANS all appreciate their work!!

wait im confused, are you speaking of my fav bit, the heavy BASS reverberating part or the weird technovoicing
marijuana and metal...an absolutely perfect equation...i must say
Amber Peruch first time listening to this album I was pretty high and loved it turned out to be my favourite album
"Heed it commands, Heed you will
Bleed, it says, Bleed you will"-
-"My Reaper accompanies me in the act of nothing,
A Sneering Grin,
The voice of My Reaper,
Sing a Song to My Deletion
Chanting softly the Song of Depletion"-
Words of Meshuggah, Bleed
@FlaccidSunday The whole album runs together. It is superb.
@Pager1991 Gravity affects time, so such things like black holes affect time significantly, check "time dilation".
I got to see them do this entire sequence. by the time in death/is death kicked off, almost the entire crowd just stood in awe head bobbing- no moshing for like 3 or 4 minutes. i've never been part of such surreal crowd in my life lol.
beginning sends shivers down my spine.
@Thraxxacor The greatest part about this album is you really don't need to be under the influence to understand what is going on. Than again music is my drug.
@R4vetastic Everything in a sense originates from outside sources. The mind simply decodes it in the ways it needs to. As I can agree things are within the mind, I can also say that there are things beyond the simple mind. Sometimes the mind is actually what can get in the way of what is really happening. This is just from my experiences and observations.
@dujl I've already sent you videos with scientific studies and explanations, but you felt it would be best to completely ignore it and not watch it. I don't see how I'm clinging to any kind of belief system when I am simply taking this from a different approach. You are the one who is clingy to think that science is the ultimate answer to finding out anything. Your understanding of science is still confined to the 3rd dimension. Another approach must be taken to understand beyond the physical.
Catch Thirtythree is the best Messugah album, (in my opinion)
Also the other albums: Chaosphere, Nothing, Destroy Erase improve, ObZen...
So.. I have no words...
@anwakeling Actually you may have a point here, as for some reason this has - funnily - always reminded me of the dialogue between the astronaut and the sentient/self aware thermonuclear device in John Carpenter's early movie's "Dark Star" (check it out on YT)
@R4vetastic No, that's wrong. It doesn't get larger, it gets smaller. You can't place the atom exactly, since you can't calculate the exact location of the electron at a specific point in time. You can only determine it by observing it directly. Light is a wave, but it is also a particle, but cannot be observed as both simultaneously.
Infinitesimals are theoretic intities. The fact that you can divide a real number a potential infinite ammount of times shouldn't surprise you.
@R4vetastic A schizophrenic also has problems processing information, but that doesn't make them more aware. By taking those drugs, you make your mind more like the mind of a schizophrenic. I hope you're aware of this.
@cameronl777 It's called a slow buildup. It has an impact on some people whose brains are actually working.
it's about the concept of paradoxes/the entraptment that paradoxes create and the trial of how one may be free of them
awesome vid man!!! the combo is just MESHUGGAH!!
Yes, it was programmed. That's acctually how they recorded a lot of their albums, in an interview with Haake he stated "We used to sit around the same computer programming tracks but not anymore in ObZen." Although they all did this they are still fantastic musicians and can play anything they program 100%.
