- Here's my instrumental guitar cover of "The Abysmal Eye" by Meshuggah! Go to 2:58 for the solo.
I also did a little one-take cover on my second channel: • Meshuggah - The Abysma...

I had a feeling we were going to get a new Meshuggah song on Friday, and we did! Once it came out, I started working on a cover and here we are.
I really like what Meshuggah is doing right now, this song is so cool! I love how a lot of the time, riffs don't get truncated by the end of a hypermeasure. For example: when the cymbals crash and the ambient guitars come in at the intro, the riff keeps going. A similar thing happens after the chorus, where the second verse "starts," but it's still the intro/chorus riff. Idk, I just really like how Meshuggah is able to still keep their formula fresh after all these years. I'm incredibly stoked for the new album.
Quick note about some production stuff:
I used GGD Invasion for the drums, but I layered it with two snares and a kick from SSD. I really like how massive I was able to make the snare sound.
I used Archetype: Gojira for the rhythm guitars, 3rd amp, 1st cab, no overdrive pedal. Took out some low mids after the plugin with an EQ rather than using an overdrive.
I used some of the fuzz pedals in Logic to get my bass tone. The bass was tuned to F standard, octave below the guitars, so it was very muddy. In the mix I think it sounds great though!

Hey! No smiling in metal!
Thats right
Dead looks only
Didnt know Steven Wilson played Meshuggah 😆
Great cover tho! love it 🖤🖤
Lmfao
Steve who
Wow. This song came out a week ago and you mastered it. That’s amazing
Yea, I was excited and waiting for this song to come out, I just had to haha. Thanks!
Loove it that you're just smiling and chilling while totally crushing it- thanks for sharing!
Bravo. Anyone who can play Meshuggah on any instrument has my respect. Cheers from Canada !
Thanks!
Fuck yes brother. Watching this between workout sets
You absolutely shred man. Keep that passion for music alive and always. I wish I had your skills.
Incredible. It is sound like the disc. Perfect execution, every note and execution are perfect. Greetings from Chile!
Thank you!
Bloody perfect! Awesome cover. Tones are on point as well. The drums in particular really have a ton of power to them. Meshuggah will always be one of my favorite bands.
Thank you so much!!
Haha I love the peaceful, relaxing vibes you give off at the beginning while playing a song like that.
But at some point even the most peacful minds start to headbang to Meshuggah: 4:06
Absolutely insane dude. You did them justice, incredible mix, incredible ear for being able to notate all that as well. Subscribed, can't wait to see more madness :)
you made it look so easy...just...wow. love it!
Thank you!
holy shit the solo is fucking amazing
Heck yeah, thanks!
@@KadeKalka also you nailed it!! do you have written the tabs for that or you found them? or you played it by ear?
I learned it by ear (programmed MIDI). I considered making a tab though, I might in the future.
@@KadeKalka yess and share it somehow in case u do it so we can learn it too :))
Brutally clean and tight! Well done, sir!
Thank you!
Wow. Extraordinary stuff. It's beyond my imaging to be able to do something like this, so it's a real treat to see you do it.
Thank you so much!
Sick job - the playing and the mixing. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
YOUR CLOSE UP SOLO 1:16 WAS SO UNREAL
Great cover, great playing
So awesome!
First of all, to me you emit such a positive feel good vibe I had to smile for the whole video, thank you for that! Absolutely stellar performance and it all sounds so nice together. Your guitar also sparked my interest. Is that a Ibanez RG8? And if so, are those the stock pickups? I heard the stock pickups are only mediocre. I am playing with the thought to buy one for months now. Keep up your attitude and awesome work!
Thank you so much for the nice comment, I really appreciate it!
Yeah, it's an Ibanez RG8 with stock pickups. I don't think the pickups are amazing, but I think they work pretty well for Meshuggah/djent stuff. Other than the pickups, I really like the guitar tho!
Fantastic. Hitting the notes that perfectly on beat seems really difficult. Do you have any synths going here, or is it just the guitar layers plus drum and bass?
Thanks! I don't have any synths layering the rhythm guitars, but I used two synths and a choir as layers for the ambient lead guitars.
You got all the bends in!
Wow! Always Amazing Musician and Producer! 🤘🏽
Thanks!
That's awesome!
This is a killer cover. Respect
Thanks!
Fantastic !!
Awesome job man! Really well done!
Thank you!
Это мегакруто! Отличная гитарная техника и безупречное чувство ритма. Все эти ритмические сбивка для неподготовленного музыканта просто вынос мозга.
hey man, I hope you see this. But you likely won't, due to current circumstances I'm sure you're all aware of. Your government has decided to do some horrible things, which you're not responsible of. Just want to tell you that I hope you're doing good, hard times are coming for everyone.
Amazing work mate !
Thank you!
Perfect!!
sick cover my dude most excellent playing
You rock dude. Good job.
Beautiful ❤
Insane cover dude!!
Thanks!
brilliant stuff, keep it up man
Thank you!
well done 🤩
amazing job!
Thanks!
More proof that Meshugah should release an instrumental album... The music is so interesting.
Nice one Kade! I have the same Ibanez RG8W :) I would love to cover this song!!!
watching this made me even more confident in buying the archetype gojira plugin. got it yesterday 50% off (: already made some cool stuff with it. maybe I'll post it soon
(Also this was amazing, your guitar sounds great)
Hell yeah, thank you! I hope you enjoy the plugin, I love it!
@@KadeKalka if I paid this much for just the whammy effects I'd be satisfied 😭 it's really nice, was already enjoying the trial version. Got some super CHONKY tones with it. Also tried the Tosin one, i think you'd do that more justice than me since you're a lot more technically proficient. Definitely feels like it'd be good for slaps and taps and what not.
Very clean, subscribed.
Thank you so much!!
Sick!
Did you have to do much/any modding or aftereffects for this guitar to sound good?
Good job man, finally someone who includes the solo.
Not really. Just stock pickups, D'addario 10-80 strings, and Archetype: Gojira.
I'd like to get new pickups someday, but I'm fine with these for now.
sick!
Tight!!
Killer!
this is so sick
Thank you!
bro, big respect. u r very good
Thank you!
Wow! This girl is brutal🤘
Jeeze,,, didn't realize how hard this song really is till I watched this,
Great shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great
Hell to the yeah \m/
Holy shit this is sick
Great sound, what VST you use? Or not vst)))?
For my guitar amp sim, I used Neural DSP Archetype: Gojira.
Well done
Thanks!
@@KadeKalka I have also mastered this song already but on air guitar and my steering wheel sooo
Lol
Hell yeah lmao
Great job! Did i program the drums under or get drum from track from somewhere? Sounds exactly like the original
Thanks! Yeah, I programmed the drums using GGD Invasion and SSD!
@@KadeKalka fantastic job! Cant imagine how much effort it required! Did u do the same for God He sees in mirrors? Im having a hard time picking the drums for that
Yeah, I did the same for God He Sees in Mirrors. I've been programming drums for a while, so it's usually not too hard, God He Sees in Mirrors took definitely took a while tho lol
@@KadeKalka are u sharing the tracks/midi anyplace?
Not atm, but I can put them up on my Gumroad page later tonight. I'll let you know!
Fucking amazing
Thank you!
Wow
There’s a decent few meshuggah songs I can play but there’s quite a lot like this one where I think they’re just too random to learn, like I can’t pick up any repeating patterns.
Yeah, this one was really tricky to pick out, I had to program it out and practice it for a while for it to stick.
I barely remember how the main riff works anymore lol, it's just not intuitive the way a lot of their other stuff is
Ah glad it’s not just me haha. You did an awesome job 👍.
@tompayton84 thank you!!!
Really old comment but, how did you get that close to the tone? I’ve been trying for months.
I'm not sure lol. Like I said in the description, I used Neural DSP Archetype: Gojira (3rd amp, 1st cab) without an overdrive pedal.
Hope that helps tho, thanks for watching/listening!
@@KadeKalka hell yeah dude, it sounds sick. I use Gojira aswell so it helps a ton! :)
@TheHybridMind sick!
Where is the Meshuggah face??? Amazing play anyway \m/
🏴☠️👍🏼
What model is that guitar !!! Sounds perfect .
It's just an Ibanez RG8, thank you!
@@KadeKalka wow thats great I was thinking of getting one too \m/
i love me sugar
mii sugar
@@KadeKalka mmm
wtffff, just how
such a cute femboy ❤️
Wow you're very talented!! Also, holy shit you're pretty.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!
Dainty
Is it me or does this dude have giant hands?
/standing ovation ...
No kidding! Badassery period!
Thank you!!
djentlewoman
Flake de Rammstein jajaja 🤣
So…You dating anyone? I’m just kidding!😅 Unless…
Warning. Viewing this cover may distort your perception of this song. that's what happened in my case, i haven't seen anything more off-putting in a long time.
How do you mean?
Bro, relax. I’m sure you’ve quit guitar already since posting your last video. Post a cover of this song if you hate this video so much 😂
