this song is like the eye of the storm. A short break from the violence to show such beauty and emotion. The violence is to me an analogy of the meaninglessness of life, yet there is hope after all. Meshuggah is the greatest.
The feelings this song gives me is just unexplainable.. like it's a feeling of almost overcoming eeriness, but at the same time, just complete inner peace... Meshuggah never ceases to amaze me...
Unbelievable, makes me feel as if my brain is removed from my body and then put into a space vessel. There my brain is free to travel the universe for 10 000 years while it gains infinite knowledge of our galaxy and the creation of the universe. It eventually returns to me and fills my being with insurmountable, incomprehensible knowledge of the creation of the universe and thus trapping my meaningless existence in an infinite digression as I relive the creation of matter for one billion years.
i hear the similarity! the way the background guitar and the melodic sound of the lead just blend together with the right attitude and strength/smoothness. love it
I remeber playing Quake 2 with this CD. What an awesome soundtrack for this game. Try running some Q2 gameplay and Meshuggah at the same time - awesome set.
Seek Allan Holdsworth. Albums : Road Games, Atavachron, Metal Fatigue. Fredrik Thordendal (of Messugah) had released work similar to this track. He is a BIG Allan Holdsworth fan, as am I. :)
this song is why i love destroy, erase, improve so much. it counterbalances the whole record. without it, destroy, erase, improve wouldn't be as powerful as it still stands over ten years later.
@hearshotkid91 My first experience was Paradoxical Spiral/Re-Inanimate/Entrapment, and Shed from Catch-33. I was like "this band doesn't seem to be that appealing to me", and I left them alone for a long time, until just a few days ago I had an urge to listen to them again, and wound up listening to their entire albums of Catch-33 and Destroy, Erase, Improve, and I started to really like them.
when listening to destroy erase improve, i sometimes think that Meshuggah had already explored all their possibilities in 1995...yet, it always feels great when meshuggah comes out with a new record..
Not a great fan of Meshuggah myself but this song has got me thinking how awesome it would be if the rhythm guitarist released a solo album with these kinda songs.
the mood reminds me of some Joe Satriani's s stuff, and also a bit of Dave Gilmour. Definitely an atypical song for Meshuggah, who are usually a stomping stedgehammer of a monster, with 8 string guitars! Destroy Erase Improve had a lot of moody stuff on it, though...love this album.
taste is in the ears of the listener, if you don't like a piece of music, it means that your mind is not yet ready to understand it.. by the way, Meshuggah isn't thrash..
That's the beauty of music my friend - bridges any language. Check out some books on lucid dreaming if your ever up to trying some new things out, enjoy!
this song brings to my mind some terminator type stuff. i see dead bodies swaying on racks waiting to be turned into meat batteries for cyborgs under the supervision of mechas that invaded earth. haha.
@soberdude84 Yeah, I agree. I have like 33 songs that I like from them when it used to be only two. Ah, Rational Gaze is one of my favorites. And oh, cool.
I've been trying to find the guitar tab for this song, but can only find tab for a 7 string guitar. Does anybody know how/if I might be able to play the song on a standard 6 string guitar? Help much appreciated, thanks!

Meshuggah is the greatest.
When I listen to this I feel like I'm drifting on a river of radioactive waste and looking an orange colored sky
Sometimes music speaks louder than words.
Arguably one of Meshuggah's best songs, because it's totally fucking different than almost anything else they've released
Sam K I would love for Meshuggah to release a record that's nothing but stripped down music like this.
@@MortonGoldthwait No, not me. They would not be Meshuggah.
@@justinjohnson1766 wdym it would literally be meshuggah. just because you wont dont mean shit.
@@greedo69 They choose their music output, not anyone else. Get the fuck out here dickweed no was taking to you.
@@justinjohnson1766 dude it was just and OPINION so stop crying about it
The feelings this song gives me is just unexplainable.. like it's a feeling of almost overcoming eeriness, but at the same time, just complete inner peace... Meshuggah never ceases to amaze me...
This song always reminds me of the most important things in my life
I picture somebody having a out of body experience and being taken through stills of every moment of their life
Voice from the soul. So good!
Maybe you already know but 'Voice of the soul' is a great instrumental track from Death

Thordendal paying homage to his hero, Allan Holdsworth
Simply the best song i've ever heard in my entire life..
I've never heard this one before. So the entire time I was waiting for the heavy to kick in, lol.
i hear the similarity! the way the background guitar and the melodic sound of the lead just blend together with the right attitude and strength/smoothness. love it

Meshuggah's Catch 33 is great with Doom I & II as well.
This makes me remember how I played Quake 4 with Meshuggah discography playing in the background ten years ago.
Rafał Szymaniewicz good thing the new order Wolfenstein has thorendal
bangasou12 Unfortunately only for one track. Would have been nice to hear more material from him throughout the game.
Merlyn White-Aldworth This would be badass. Definitely going to try it!
wish they would play more tracks like that one.
We have to accept and love them as they come.

@@ReggiePostlethwaite No you don't. Meshuggah are boring as hell now. Nothing like the genius of this album
@@LintRiggs_ incorrect
Past Tense and They Move Below
One of my favorite instrumental songs and bands . MESHUGGAH ftw
this song is why i love destroy, erase, improve so much. it counterbalances the whole record. without it, destroy, erase, improve wouldn't be as powerful as it still stands over ten years later.
I wish meshuggah did more stuff like this. Genius. around 9:30 of In death is death is awesome.
and first time i got this album back in high school was 17 years old, how it must be strange its exactly 20 years later now
This is soothing and chilling at the same time. This one really stands out.

My thoughts too
when listening to destroy erase improve, i sometimes think that Meshuggah had already explored all their possibilities in 1995...yet, it always feels great when meshuggah comes out with a new record..
great song to mellow out on a hot day. but more importantly, great band.
Transition from this life onto the next in another universe !!
avanguardia , minimalismo armonico, pazzia ritmica. sta band mi succhia la mente.
i think their older stuff can be considered thrash, but if anything its more like a thrash/death kinda thing to me
Not a great fan of Meshuggah myself but this song has got me thinking how awesome it would be if the rhythm guitarist released a solo album with these kinda songs.
gives me chills everytime
You can really hear where Periphery got it's clean guitar tone from in the beginning.
@hearshotkid91 Not to mention they're the reason everyone plays 8 strings. And Meshuggah started on 6 strings.
this song should be the theme of Zelda series...
This song is beauitful..it relaxes me everytime
Reminiscent of The Last Vigil - these are among my most beloved Meshuggah songs
This is one of their best, I think, cause there aren't any other songs like it, by them or otherwise. "Dark void of insanity" sums it up nicely.
Мy God, how I love this melody..!!!!
I wish this song was longer.
For some reason I get a Fallout 1 & 2 vibe from this song. It's got that post-apocalyptic sound to it.
beautiful
Why does it have to be only 3 minutes?
Maybe it’s 3 years but your mind tells you minutes
Sounds like Steve Vai. So it's fucking good!
The fuck did this masterpiece come from
Cover is signed by the band. Looks like Hagström is there too.
one of my favorite songs to play rhythm guitar for, try it on an acoustic and it sounds soo fucking beautiful that no one realizes it's metal.
I wouldn't even call meshuggah metal anymore lol they have their very own unique genre and if you ask me they have an opera influence...
Wish they would create pieces like this more often than the free form 4th dimension stuff.
You can see that kind of thing on songs like Closed Eye Visuals, Straws Pulled At Random, to some extent even on Bleed and Lethargica.
This reminds me of What wes borland does solo. Freaking awesome!

Acrid Placidity, such a fitting name.

amazing!
just .... great
thanks for the video...true art.. :)
You can hear the Holdsworth influence.
Yes. Nice of you to point it out.
Resident Evil vibes
That's the beauty of music my friend - bridges any language.
Check out some books on lucid dreaming if your ever up to trying some new things out, enjoy!
@arrestedshrimp It is a signed album cover.
@Boooby
I think it's Fredrik Thordendal.
this song brings to my mind some terminator type stuff. i see dead bodies swaying on racks waiting to be turned into meat batteries for cyborgs under the supervision of mechas that invaded earth. haha.
BEAUTIFUL

this song is very pretty...
but it's also one of the creepiest songs I've ever heard, along with everything else on DEI
Matrin wrote an amazing song with this one!
If you don't knoe Allan Holdsworth you should. Take 50 listens or so to get it.
Exactly. Same thing with me. Just thought they were a pick fast band and shred it...but when you look at it all it's out of this world.
@dujl
thank you good sir, for your very smart intervention.
How do I get that guitar tone?
use EZmix
fredrik used a breath controller on his leads back then
Damn! This song gets under my skin, but in a good way. :-)
Sounds like the music in Bejeweled
nothing was recorded on de-tuned 7's... performed with 8's though >:D
to avatar
YOUVE KILLED MEEEEEE!
...good!
@gangsterthomas1000 It's just a mid/low frequency with delay and reverb.
you write like they write when they are exaggerating texting, whn ppl abrvate evrthng. vry intrstng.
Probably not, but probably because they were the ones they listened to when they were growing up, that introduced them to metal, ya know.
so much for the niceties. Now let's rock.
Nice.
Sounds like Steve Vai shredding over Rush.
That magic moment, among million idiot comments, you find a person that have seen things as they are.
and it took this long lol
Reggie Postlethwaite So, are we going to fuck or what?
Reminds me of the acoustic Pantera songs. Just the riff sounds like this love and floods
Steve is shit similar to Rush
@msw0322 dang the only reason I ask is because Marten has writing credits for this song
The sound of Ecstasy... lol Fucking awesome song
@daaaaavie Yep, you're right, Fredrik is...
I was two years old! *.*
@Boooby Fredrik Thordendal it is.
That's actually Tomas signature
This song belongs on the opening credits of a terminator movie
yeah and then have them do the complete soundtrack.
giusto! io li vedo live a nyc in maggio!
steve vai plays happy songs
i wish to hear an acoustic album from meshuggah. in joe satriani style. :D
@dujl I agree about Enter Sandman being overrated. Plus no guitar player metallica has ever had can compete with Thornendal.
@MolecularHeinosity I Found that out just after I made that comment. Just googled his name and there it was :)
@Jdcie Agreed!
Unanything from Chaosphere
that may be because it's a very different music style? O_o =P
i dont think they started the 8 strings until Nothing
What does FTW stand for? Sorry for the newbie question.
Who's playing the lead guitar bits on this?
@agemo2007ed Hahahaha. My inner troll is hibernating for the winter season :)
@AaronQ1222 FUNYUNS THAT WHISPER
You're welcome. =)
Yo this is way br00tals!1.. wait wha
