Lyrics:
Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion
Tremors, reverberating
Frequency of doom
How strongly the violent thoughts of vengeance echo
Setting in motion the strings of hate.
Shudder
Shudder
Vibrate
This is the soundtrack to our hostility
To our malicious intent
To the pointless grudge forever held
The callow dream
The dismal wish to harm
Animate now
The twisted sounds of our disdain
Our rage
The notations to our contempt
To unforgiveness and loathing
A sonic declaration of spite and resentment
Its resonance grinding to dust our souls
The twine of revenge tightly strung.
Its sub harmonics, the undoing of all
So enticing
The retaliation - chords of man
The all-deafening - Oscillation of the damned
Let forth the hateful, the murderous
Let their malignant prayers resound
The reverberant, odious request
The wish of death abound
So enticing
The retaliation - chords of man
The all-deafening - Oscillation of the damned

That's how I like my music, when it sounds like a gigantic monster of the universe that eats black holes for breakfast.
Really good description, man! This is (nearly) exactly what i imagine when listening to the song.
Only except for black holes i imagine it attacking and crushing planets ^^
I doubt any future comment is gonna be better than this one. Eats black holes for breakfast, WOW!!
Breakfast those black holes whose universe gave it gigantic monsters 🤣🤣🤣🤘
Recently discovered in “science” other forms outside of blackholes. Life ain’t all pussy or drag you down. Something else out there...
just like my coffee
Here's the truth dudes: there really aren't any bands like them. Very good bands like Meshuggah only come up once in a blue moon, and they're good because they do their own thing, and don't really sound like anyone else. This band is very heavy and technical, but they're not obsessed with being heavy, nor too mathy, fast, or random. They just make stuff that sounds fucking cool. Incredible musicians.
There is nothing technical about what they do. I'm sorry. I learned songs my first year of guitar more technical than Meshuggah songs. This band is a rythmic one, not focused on lead skill and thats fine. I love Meshuggah. But please don't think they're in anyway technical lol
Nothing technical? You mean to tell me that you could grab a couple of hacks on their instruments and play Future Breed Machine together no problem? I'd say they're pretty technically sound.
ChipmunkAsylum Since I've been playing music for awhile that revolves around odd meters and poly rhythms and so on and the other "hacks" where also as familiar with it, I would say we could figure it out with ease. It may seem difficult if you're not used to it, but eventually you get used to 9/16 and 3/2s as if they were 4/4. The other bits would take practicing, but thats with any song played by an entire band. Since most of Meshuggah's songs tend to revolve around one riff, once you have that down you are 85% done with the song. The rest would just be building up the stamina of playing that same thing repetitively desperately waiting for something to change in the song. I love meshuggah, but I personally can't stand playing repetition. That would be the hardest part, because it's so easy.
Nothing against Meshuggah, the band doesent get together to write difficult music.
Alright well if you can play the guitar that's one thing, but if you know a drummer of Haake's ability than kudos to that guy
Mike Scanlan there is nothing technical?....so for a man that was at the time playing the drums for at least 20 years having to take 3 months just to learn one song (Bleed) isn't a technical thing to do?
A great song to listen to while you’re eating pear slices
Chuckle alsotaking a Nap
oughtta pin this
Canned or fresh?
😂
Or taking a shit.
I showed this song to my little brother and he became my grandfather
Underrated comment.
@@Art-Sin for sure hahahaha
Showed it to my future grandkids and they became my ancestors
lmao
But what the hell does it mean? :D
Its beautiful, but what the hell? :D
This is the coolest shampoo commercial I’ve ever seen.

Ha ha ha..
I'm sure that they're laughing at this comment like us 😂😂😂
I want to headbang, but I'm not very good at math.
1234 my dude
Just listen to the snare and ride cymbal and you’ll be fine. It’s all in 4/4. Lol
just focus one's and zeros man...with ur head
Dave J meshuggah are mathematical madmen but this songs in 4/4
Dave J that just made me laugh fuckin hard, thank you 🤘😆
I dare say Meshuggah is the greatest metal band to ever exist.
If Pantera wasn’t a thing then yes
Nah Nickelback is the heaviest band ever
They are certainly sitting on a throne by themselves. They are untouchable in what they do.
@@ChickenJoe-tq6xdmy first thoughts...
@@ChickenJoe-tq6xd pantera sounds like imagine dragons compared to meshuggah
What I love about Meshuggah is that they dont simply make songs. They craft soundscapes.
I'll craft you in your soundscape
@@GrNen That took a turn for the good.
Hell yeah brother.
totally !
They are perfection indeed 🔥
So many people don't realize that the vocals in Meshuggah are used as a rhythmic tool. Tomas even said it himself. He said that it suited their music more since they're already a rhythmic machine.
you're completely right and it is because people love to say pure balls (cause they're usually uninformed) as well as not focus on beauty of the music itself.
just listens to the cymbals
thats why I like Tool and Meshuggah
@@mojojijo5767 and (sometimes) snare.
Exactly. It's all percussive, and magically glues together the band's tonal range.
I don't know why everyone seems to have a problem with the vocals, I think Jens is fucking amazing!
fuck them... youre rigth pal.
Each to there own. Same with Death Metal vocals.
He is.
BLFilms WHO HAS EVER SAID SUCH A THING?
His vocals are just right for this music. He is the perfect choice for this band. No less no more.
Can somebody take a moment and appreciate the walking monstrosity that this bass is?
For a second there I thought it was the drumms
Especially from 3:48 to 4:43.
"walking monstrosity"
Never has a phrase been more accurate, for Meshuggah's slower pace songs.
Slow, but *Heavy. As. Fvck.*
it goes: UHMHMHMHMH CHA UHMHMHMMH CHA UHMHMHMMH CHA UHMHMHMMHMHMH
Sorry, too busy giving myself a blood eagle so i can fastrack to Valhalla.
This really slow compared to other Meshuggah songs and i still find it one of the heaviest and most rhythmic of their songs.
It's not like a sprinting Cheetah, more like a stomping Elephant.
I love it!
I personally prefer the slower grooves. Like this.
That riff is just so nasty
That's exactly how i picture this track, like a Giant dark Mammoth stomping at a steady pace and destroying everything in its passage.
Lethargica imo is a bit slower and heavier than this.
@@sjn_ Hey man, it's not a comparison we're doing here.
Jens has been rolling his eyes back in his skull so long now he can probably see behind himself.
+Daniel Verberne He would just see his brain.
+smokejc you must be fun at parties
+Chuggsbigman Yeah? Well, shut up!
+Daniel Verberne But can he see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?
.
Alot of hate down here for Jens' vocals. I absolutely love the vocals. The band is all about rhythm and atmospere, not melody. Jens' typically sings at one pitch or note and adds another layer to the poly rhythm.
Jens' stage presence blew me away too...holy fuck he's so intense.
Listening to Meshuggah leaves the vocals at top priority for liking them. People can't seem to listen them without liking that part first. Always hate/like. A number of bands have more or less a casual singing type. Which means the vocals don't have people divided but the music is, and the singing is left with Neutral or Meh opinions
Jens though, really excels when the music is setup for him. When you don't really need or want a lot of vocal melody is the best time for him to be singing.
totally agree, I saw them live and Jens is absolutely fucking brutal!
Supermaster Metalthrower Indeed Jens is a fucking monster live, as is the entire band. I truly believe that Meshuggah NEEDS to be experienced live in order to fully appreciate their craftsmanship. If you get the chance, TAKE IT! you wont regret it. Absolutely amazing artists!
Adyman pretty brutal you gotta admit
Shnergen91 vocals are dragging this down
Weight lifting tune for Norse gods. Fucking perfection.
I love how Tomas is so focused on his drum patterns but at the same time really digs what he's playing. In my opinion, if not the best drummer in the world, he definitely is among the best ones.
what they've created is unique, and his style is such a huge part in that. i think any drummer recognises the genius is what t(he)y are doing. he's the drummer's drummer: always keeping it simple. the perfect cog for this complex machine.
i hear you man, Tomas Haake is freaking amazing :) another favorite drummer of mine is Mike Portnoy, I would love to hear him play Bleed one day or something :D that'd be freaking epic
I'm going to go fight a mountain.. I'll be right back
You take the north side I'll take the south and we'll fight each other once we've fucked kilamanjaro up!
Alright bro im down, sounds like a plan XD lol
Good, lets get the Hound and avenge Oberyn's death together.
Sorry, had to make the reference...
Best comment ever \m/
mal-phite me in reallife
So this is what it's like to be crushed by a neutron star.
Yes! Thought the same one day
Underrated comment.
more like to crush one
Badass analogy, although technically speaking you'd be crushed under your own weight magnified 200 million times. Still badass, I'd say.
Legend has it that Thor’s hammer was forged by Meshuggah’s heavy metal.

The word "djent" doesn't even begin to describe the balls deep chomping smash that is the rhythm section of this song.
I've listened to 5 Meshuggah albums one day. I started to function in polyrythm...
Polymeters not poly rhythms
@@hatebreeder999 no lol
@@iwantmyprivacy2217 yes actually. Do you know the difference?
@@CodamATW I dont, can you explain please?
I see a lot of people complaining about the vocals in the comments. Well, I think growling/dirty vocals aren't something that many people will find immediately palatable. For a first time listener, it probably sounds like nothing you've heard before. A lot complain because they can't understand the lyrics, which I can understand. But what I find weird about that is most people listen to rap music these days, and to me many rappers are indecipherable, not to mention use a lot of slang that isn't even a part of the English language.

The hilariously ironic part of this comment is that you're trolling this guy for not liking the music, when he never actually said anything near that. He's actually defending it.
Jared Pitcher Isn't it wonderful to realise what kind of stupid people use technology/listen to such music/make idiotic conclusions?
Ironic eh, Jared Pitcher ? ._.

When will Sweden change its name to Meshuggen ?
Make a petition
Not worthy of the name anymore. :-(
The world may never know
@Da Cashman 😂
They never will because they are slowly turning to "Hens" and shit like that. They will not be able to even survive listening to Meshuggah in a few years.
Legend has it no cameraman survived the filming of this video
So this is what it feels like to be reincarnated as a pissed off goose in a crowded public park.
more like a pissed off roiding moose

Another love song.
I made 3 babies to this song.

@@korruptedhimself9372 My wife's initial reaction of "wtf are you listening to" has gradually morphed over the past couple years to me catching her headbanging to Meshuggah songs and I couldn't be more proud of her arc.
wait, why does this give me chills? listening to meshuggah is literally a body and soul experience.
Cant believe it took me this long to find this band. Some of the best music I've ever heard
Welcome! They've been around for 25yrs
Cant go back.

Meshuggah ages like Wine, they're a rare breed, surely more than mere mortals.
yeahhh
Agreed, I've listened to them for well over a decade and they've just become much better.
Obzen had such a depth to it man, almost a psychedelic horror show. Bleed could be considered the world's worst trip :p
Bleed should be watched every trip.
*****
Ayyy
Of all the communities and subcultures, Metal community is the most bright, accepting, funny and diverse. And that in itself is such a beautiful thing.
yes. I believe this is totally true. something about the world hurts a bright person with a big heart and can lead them to have a need to aggressively decouple from those feelings in a non violent manner. When it can be done with something as intellectually interesting and as stimulating as Meshuggah, there is a bond there that nothing else will fill.
I await the new album with faith. If at first I dont click with some songs, I am sure I will in time. That's the way new good stuff is. That's what it takes to GROW into something better or further in to the advancing complexity of eventual decay.
Till u find the eletists
This is literally the craziest song I've ever heard. The rhythmic pattern. Meshuggah as fuck.
One of the heaviest most primal songs I've ever heard.
Meshuggah is the god that scolds all the sins of humanity through the bodies of 5 random Swedish dudes.
+The Dopamine Cleric True
The first time I saw them live I remember thinking they seemed to take the forms of towering, wrathful Norse Gods
Implosion. Happened before. Catches everyone off guard in the mulitverse, everytime; 60% of the time.
Its the spitting out that hurts.
YEESS! Their lyrics and music explore the absolute and irredeemable darkness of our species.
@@joseph-zoramcbride4029 not irredeemable at all.
the riff starting at 5:45 is the most grooviest thing i've ever listened.
It’s one of their best grooves hands down. I love it.
Tremors, reverberating frequency of doom
How strongly the violent thoughts of vengeance echo
Setting in motion the strings of hate
Shudder, shudder, vibrate
This is the soundtrack to our hostility, to our malicious intent
To the pointless grudge forever held
The callow dream, the dismal wish to harm
Animate now the twisted sounds of our disdain, our rage
The notations to our contempt, to unforgiveness and loathing
A sonic declaration of spite and resentment
Its resonance grinding to dust our souls
The twine of revenge tightly strung
Its subharmonics the undoing of all
So enticing the retaliation-chords of man
The all-deafening oscillation of the damned
Let forth the hateful, the murderous
Let their malignant prayers resound
The reverberant, odious request
The wish of death abound
So enticing the retalitation-chords of man
The all-deafening oscillation of the damned
Appreciate you for this my man! By far, the heaviest song I've heard to date! Currently going through some shit with my fiance, so this one is right on time! Baddest band on the planet!
@@charlesthompson4166 oooh! Feel for you brah! But she still a fiance still a good time to call it off lol
Had to bust out a quick set of 10,000 pushups listening to this.
My favorite metal band. Nobody can copy this style; some tried, but failed.
Q deMayo Check out the band called Tardive Dyskinesia
PissedOffWhiteMF Pantera is still one of my favorite bands and I still listen to their music on a regular basis. I saw them four times: once on Far Beyond Driven, twice on Trendkill and once on RTS.
I've been listening to all type of music since the early 80's, but i'm a metalhead without a doubt. \m/ \m/
Q deMayo gotta right your little "typo" :D MANY tried, but failed.
THERAMMSTEINFAN490 That would be the correct, if many, had tried. Actually, there have been some bands(Contortionist, Tardive Dyskinesia) that tried. Not a big deal! \m/ \m/
Chunk-a-chunk-a-chunk-a-BLAHNAW-chunk-a-chunk-a--chunk-a.. I can't get enough of this right now. Stomping about my flat with the Meshuggah face on. The new track Ligature Marks reminds me of this. Rhythmic masters!
Chunk-a-chunk-a-chunk….I like it!
Here is proof that esthetical simplicity and shadows are very...very effective. This is art.
This Riff is so heavy and satisfying
+Furpez lmfao
+bdstwn HA XD
+bdstwn HA XD
It's the same riff throughout the entire song...very djent of them!
Listen to thear first episode none. You think that was heavy. None sounds like dump trucks falling out of the sky and landing two inches from your face
Relentless procession, clockwork behemoth, diabolic mechanism
Marten & Fredrik is Legendary Duo...8 String Power!
I come from a hiphop/rap, soul background but something bout this band speaks to my soul. So creative!!!
Almost the same for me : I come from sanity, but something about the autism in this band talks to my madness.
listen to istasha! he sampled this song in Irradiated Air Particles it's a weird Rap, Metal, Trap mix up
There aren't many bands that can get away with making a music video of nothing but them performing in an empty, dark room. Nice!!
they at least have instruments this time. Though I do enjoy New Millennium Cyanide Christ.
That's what you get for low budget shit
+Neab N best video ever
Or lip-syncing their entire song on their tour bus
And air guitar/air drums lmao
You know you are a good band when you are one of a kind
One part Steve Reich, one part Led Zeppelin, one part acid.
drumttocs8 Listen to the Shaggs and tell me that.
I don't normally comment on music vids, but when I do it's for the undeniably heaviest fucking band on the planet. Meshuggah is by far the heaviest band on this planet.
Car bomb, Frontierer, *Methwitch* are all quite heavier. Meshuggah is like above-avarage among heavy bands. It's on that level, where many "normies" still can listen to it, and all the other bands I've named are not
Edit: not that it's a bad thing
Check out Vildhjarta
This is the most metal shit, and that’s coming from a blacksmith’s son. I see a lot of fuckin metal.
now our kids will never forget what sinews do..see? Metal is Education!
Education is no relationship with metal ..
normal people will never understand how incredible this is
Cool story
true.
normal people get it, weird people don't
Normal people can understand this smh
100%🤘
Gojira and Meshuggah...thats the magic I hear everyday
Awesome song to jam out to while you're alone eating a frozen meal.
I think Meshuggah has some of the most unique and easiest to understand vocals in metal.
Sounds like you need to listen to thrash metal! Demolition Hammer, Sadus etc etc
exordiumdeath no...we dont those bands are god awful but thank you. Tune into meshuggah whenever you like though!
IICAPTN
Sadus puts Meshugga under the table by far.
Haha, nice pun. Meshuggah is signed to Nuclear Blast Records. XD
Best vocalist in metal is Chuck Schuldiner
14, female, and pure African. I'm probably the only person like this that listens to Meshuggah... I feel quite alone.
Hugs from Scandinavia. If you dont live in a big city, listening to complex epic music like this will always make you an outsider. Ive only become more proud of that fact as the years has gone by. Im 30 now :) Looking at the "insiders", i would not want to be one of them anyway XD
You're awesome
Thank you for the kind comments! :) It's always pleasing to see people from different cultural backgrounds who are somewhat outsiders in their surroundings come together and support one another through the likes of music.
I thought Africa didn't have Internet nor Meshuggah.
Male , 25 and pure Bengali, I feel you sister!
Meshuggah is the type of music that terrifies you and makes you uncomfortable. But at the same time you can't stop listening.
that's genuinely how i felt when i first discovered them with bleed, just couldn't stop coming back to it and now they're my favourites of all time
Do you noticed the dual voice sound that Jens does in the chorus? Two separated notes (the low from gutural, the high from mouth modulation) that come together in the final "DAMNED". The band is a masterpiece.
My philosophy professor brought me here
Seems to be a nice guy.
MaKinzi Wright That's fucking awesome
whats your professors name so i can rate him/her full stars on ratemyprofessor
So.. What do philosophers think of Meshuggah?
lol my philosophy professor likes metal too
A band like no other. Every last aspect of Meshuggah has a purpose. The dead-pan vocals and almost mechanical rhythm section make it feel as though you're listening to some lifeless behemoth of a machine trudge around. I love it.
heaviest song in existence
They Move Below is in my opinion their darkest song, or The Demon’s name is surveillance.
Obzen
When the mind stops, consciousness is transcended,you realise the world in terms of mesuggah and everything in it.everything is mesuggah.everywhere but none
This song is makes you feel like a beef cake injected with synthol on steroids. Gonna go wrestle an Ox with my bare hands.
so... Rich Piana?
right babe?

I literally can not stand them anymore!
p3rs0n42 At first glance I thought it was a picture of KISS and I wondered what you guys were on about.
by the way, using Fag as a derogatory in 2014? I wonder who the prepubertals are... After looking up BVB though, yea, they do really suck donkeyballs.
This is probably their biggest riff. It makes you feel 5 feet taller and ripped to the point you muscles are breaking your shirt. Just feel the sludge moving through you, fuck yeah!!!!
They are in a league of their own. Live they are absolutely phenomenal, so many musicians come to see them. Glad I had the chance to see them.😮
For a long time I only listened to rational gaze, bleed, and a few others, could never get into the bulk of their stuff..... then suddenly I realised while listening to new milleneum cyanide christ how much i love their sound
This song smashes when you’re pissed
I'm watching live video of a volcano devastating La Palma and listening to Meshuggah. It's the perfect match.
meshuggah is just the opera of metal.
So my girlfriend and I were hanging out in the library, and we we're using the computers, she sat across from me, and just stared as I was air drumming to this, tapping my feet rather loudly. She said quietly "Stop!.. Please...." And then I promptly remembered I was at the library the whole time listening to this song and rocking out. I don't regret it. Thanks Meshuggah. :)
This is the song that turned me into a Meshuggah fan. Before this, I was sort of viscerally aware of Bleed, but didn't care for the mechanical feel. But this? This album (Koloss) and their next one (Clockworks) have got such a groove, I just got sucked into their world and I'm quite happy to remain there, thank you very much :)
David Simpson check out their song "abnegating cecity"
the album's name was The Violent Sleep of Reason ( Clockworks was a single and it was one of their finest products)
catch 33 my dude! it might take a few listens, and some of it is filler, but the juicy bits are some of the best meshuggah ever in my opinion! truly a masterpiece
> didn't care for the mechanical feel
Wait for some 10-ish years, you will understand what's true musicianship, and you will appreciate Bleed as well as everything else that's worth it.
All of Meshuggah is good. Their EP “None” released in 94 is amazing.
So much metal music but there’s truly just a handful that create greatness
like any genre I suppose ... like anything
People like things for different reasons , as long as it moves you ... it’s your good
I like my coffee like I like my Meshuggah...Black with extra Shuggah
I literally can not get enough of this song.
Man, the artistry of the songwriting and lyricism together in this song is INCREDIBLE. To the critics who can't understand - learn to appreciate concepts like consonance and alliteration with the crushing rhythm in this track. "A SONIC DECLARATION OF SPITE." Wow.
That guitar sounds like it's eating the speakers for a living!
I need this
probably their best song to listen to in all 3 play speeds. Normal, 1.25, and 1.5. Completely different songs. I hope each play gives them a credit to another view..
Maaaaan, you've discovered the hidden Meshuggah dimensions... Thank you!
Like most Meshuggah songs, there are odd metre riffs over a very clear 4/4 foundation driven by the constant quarter note pulse that haake keeps on his hats / cymbals. The snare is usually (most songs) on the expected 3 of each bar. You can head bang to the quarter note or half not pulse and you will almost always line back up with the riffs. The beauty of this band's compositions, and one of the reasons why I like them so much, is that they think of time and riffs on a larger scale i.e. 8, 16, and 32 bars before things loop back around. They also manage to do this and make it seem complicated while making it sound natural and organic due to Haake keeping everything anchored with his quarter note pulse reference. Pure compositional genius, which finds itself grounded in very fundamental and basic key concepts. Hail Meshuggah
we should never have been able to reach this level of experience .... after all we are but mortals
*''To the pointless grudge forever held''*
While most Meshuggah songs are my favourite song, I think this one is my most favourite out of all the favourites.
Jens would kill the Ricola commercials "Riiiiiiiicola ......RRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIICOOOOLLLLLLAAAAAAA!"
Jens probably lives on throat lozenges.
Life would be easier having a 9-5 job than being a guitarist or drummer for Meshuggah
You mean a twelve hour shift + weekends?
just bass and drums aswell as the bits of atmossphere, but 3:48 has to be one of my favorite moments in Meshuggah history... it just grinds through your brain like a steaming hot drill through butter
Requires awesome technique and thick hair to headbang that slow.
+Johan Å Je, I agree. By the way, your last name isn't just... Å, is it. ._.
No need headbang anymore cause its become The Ring that numbed with blood flowing trough every holes
I can't stop listening to this song, one of the best metal songs ever written. The groove is insane.
These guys just tattooed my brain I’m a fan for life
Meshuggah can never be played loud enough 🤘
