Meshuggah have the most monolithic, imposing stage presence of all time. They simply arrive, deliver the pain, and leave. Absolute legends.
Mann I want that bass sound so bad😭
never seen them but these live on youtube are already totally sick. I can not imagine what it can be truely live
@@vienabalsi do ANYTHING in your power to experience this live. You won't regret it. I sure didn't.
@@vienabalsiI’ve seen them live 6 times. Their live mix is earth shattering. Super heavy but also very clear. Every note they play live is discernible. Their FOH mixer deserves live sound engineer awards, and so does their lighting engineer. It’s the most hypnotizing show you’ll ever see in person.
@@1LouderSound Absolutely. Next year will be my third time, but there is going to be a big difference. Both previous shows were open air, this time around it will be a closed venue. I expect and wish for more of these low end frequencies, which those gigs before lacked. That being said I provided no reason to doubt that MESHUGGAH is the best band ever :) Pozdro666
What band do you play?
- Meshuggah
What do you play?
-I'm the light guy
Edvard Hansson is the guys name, search his stuff out, amazing artist.
@@ksukhia no he doesnt "play" the lights here is his youtube, he programs them against a click track. Yes he is very good, but no he doesnt play the lights www.youtube.com/@EdvardHansson
Underrated 😂
light player
@@ksukhia Edvard is Thomas Haake's cousin I believe. So 4/4 may be in the blood lol.
I can't believe we're getting this for free. This is better quality than I'd expect from an official Blu-ray.
You're getting the entire mix settings of the record itself because all that stuff can now be loaded into a preset and recalled at the click of a button. They all have in ear monitor set up and are ready to go.
@@afrosheent3arcmichael69 That's what I think their team does live based on what I've seen. Soundcheck was literally only checking levels. 3 minutes, good to go.
Now, a bit of backstory, at bloodstock there was a guitar hero competition, and the winner got to see one of the headliners in front of the barrier, I ended up winning, luckily my headliner was meshuggah and I got to bring my friend there too, if you think this set is mental on a UA-cam video, imagine what is was like right in front of the stage, the stage speaker blaring in your face, and no one there there touching or bothering you, just you and meshuggah, I had an outer body experience and no gig will ever compete with that night.
That's an amazing memory to cherish forever! :)
You didn't just win at guitar hero, you won at life friend! Thanks for sharing this epic tale. I would've just turned into molecular soup if I'd witnessed Pravus from the vantage point you describe.
Holy shit dude. That´s amazing!
"outer body experience" lmao
Now i regret not walking into that games tent. Sounds epic tho
Rational Gaze live is pure metal. It should be on the periodic table.
Fact!
It was the first track I heard of theirs when Nothing came out. It hooked me, then had to go all the way back to Contridictions Collapse and Chaosphere. Rational Gaze was the first track I learned from them. Such an amazingly talented band.
Aahhahahahaahah
The guitar riff is so good.
MSHHGH=MC²
Are there awards for sound engineers? Give this one all of them. Dear god this is insane.
Yes! This sounds AMAZING.
As a sound engineer, I can assure you that you can only make it sound great if the band are great. As Dani Filth once said "you can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter"
I've been to 6 Meshuggah shows and where ever they play. The sound is ALWAYS good. The best of the best. Trust me, I've been to metal festivals where any other band would have horrible sound, but when Meshuggah enters the stage, it is spot on.
Besides being a very good band they have an incredible team too.
Underated! You're so right! This is absolutely amazing...
Its nice that Valhalla let's their house band play a few gigs down here for us.
💀🤘💀
Fuck yeah
I discovered Meshuggah in 2005 the same week I started reading the Tibetan book of the Dead and The Death of Forever. I am convinced that while I die, I will hear the groans and grinding sounds Meshuggah portray to us until I leave this mortal coil.
Still the heaviest band of all time. The kings.
Yes Ben, the GODS
Damn fucking straight
Absolutly
Uncle Ben has spoken
They’ve only gotten better over time, Jens’ sound just gets more guttural and deeper with age. Suits the music better than ever… Incredible.
Best live sounding band ever
I get to see them at the end of the month.. it's gonna be in a small venue too. We are gonna be destroyed
@@thecallofthevoids I saw them in Oslo earlier this year. I sweated through my clothes. Even my fucking calves were wet. You're in for a fucking treat!
@@Sargatha same
Ooooh. Gojira though......
Beside PANTERA 👊🏽💥💯
Whoever the sound dude was this year was a total badass the sound was earth shattering
It is the same guy as always I presume? Old man with a super long white beard. He is a true genius and his sound making leaks of wisdom!
@@jenicekmm5220you’ve just described the whole band
While the band absolutely sounds amazing live, most live videos are these days remixed after the fact in the studio. Some even edited to sound better.
Judging by the sound, this is definitely not a raw front-of-house mix; the balances would be completely different.
@@samuliauno8163 nope they sounded exactly like this
@@thenoobdestroyer100 If you can't tell this is not a single front of house mic, I don't know what to tell you. Simple inexperience, it is completely obvious.
The engineer is the true star.
Jens is fifty-seven years old and still sounds as god-like as he's ever sounded before. This band is a truly fine wine --- aging into their aesthetic with nothing but a fuller and tighter flavour. Even the let's say conductor of the lightshow is refusing to step off the gas. I look forward to this next decade, when Meshuggah fans will only find deeper and truer love for one of the GOATs of extreme music.
I think he sounds better than ever
When you are a god you only grow more powerful the older you get.
Do not forget the flawless job of Lawrence Mackrory on mixing and mastering this concert! Absolutely amazing.
And OMG , The lighting tech is phenomenal. AMAZING
It's pretty incredible how great they sound here. I've listened to this concert many times at this point.
he should mix and master their albums.
@@Knome-AnslandAlways programmed by one the of the members' brother.
@@secoiftotally different job
The kings proving that NOT A SINGLE MODERN METAL BAND CAN TOUCH THEM REGARDLESS OF HOW HARD THEY TRY.
💯💯💯💯💯
I always say that meshuggah is an entity of itself and everybody tried to be them. When you as a band try to copy meshuggah or their influence runs through you, it goes through your filters of musical taste and becomes its own separate genre or style.
this is true!
They transcend the metal genre to me and instead I view them as organized sound that happens to utilize the same instruments and sounds of metal for utilitarian purposes to deliver the message. The expansiveness and psychedelic nature of the music isn’t compressed or restricted, it isn’t violent or imposing music as much a narration of the darkness of humanity, and lots of introspection. Meshuggah- possibly the most self reflective metal band, for the time they came out especially. Very esoteric topics and it was what originally resonated with me the hardest apart from the breakdown in Future Breed Machine. That song broke my brain and I have felt like AI ever since.
I literally cant even type a coherent parapgraph after viewing this video
There will never be a band like this again. Let's all just appreciate the fact that we were lucky enough to exist at this point in time 🖤🤘Absolutely and utterly unique 🖤🖤
indeed
Broken Cog has got to be one of the most maddening songs live. When they start, its like being kicked in the chest, then you slowly feel like you're going insane. Absolutely amazing.
Give the sound engineer a raise, it’s a miracle level recording and mixing, absolutely mind boggling
I agree....very impressive very
This is definitely a live record.
He needs his name on the video so he can be immortalized.
@@Guitarista78 It is but has been mixed and mastered separately from the multitrack captured live.
@@Guitarista78 yes, it is.
You capture every line input, and then you mix it in the studio.
This is the only sensible way of producing any live recordings.
Even if it’s streamed live, then there was some mixing made during sound check on the live board
Dear Bloodstock,
You have done Meshuggah fans the world over a huge solid!
From the bottom of my heart,
THANK YOU!!!!! ♥♥♥
"Bloodstock"... and no Bleed???
A Meshuggah gig is like a primal religious gathering. There is just nothing like it in the history of music. I've seen them live only twice, but it is just a life altering experience. They just batter your senses until to fall into some sort of mystical trance. They are in a legue of their own.
I agree, it is driving u mad, u feel so happy, u flip here and jump there, move ur knee, shake head, whistle, shiver, smile and DANCE (or go nuts in the crowd)! There are so many beats and melodies u can follow. Anarcho dream drum sounds dance festival!^^
When I hear a new heavy modern heavy metal band that’s pretty badass I always find live videos like this that remind me that you will never find a band as heavy as Meshuggah
There isn’t a group of people alive that can handle the truth like these gentlemen. We’re all of us, inferior.
Maybe it's their work ethic & perfectionist attitude which makes them so good.
This IS THE BEST sounding concert ever on UA-cam. Rivals and improve the studio versions of the songs. Meshuggah are the bar. LEGENDS. Thanks Bloostockfestivals.
Totally agree 🤘
2nd best, I'd say, with steven wilson's mixes of his band porcupine tree being n1 but yeah it's very good.
The mixes are okay. Lack some mids and are a bit too bass heavy. Had to fuck around with my studio monitor eq to get sounding even. Great live band though. And yes their live sound is to die for
Meh I'm the biggest meshuggah fan ever. Gojira at Red rocks is astonishingly good.
@@johnnyhurley7161 I could never get into Gojira. Lord knows I've tried but they're not my cup of tea.
Meshuggah's live sound engineer must be protected at all costs
We are building a statue of him in Sweden. And he got to marry one of the royal family!
He’s got a crew of five huge Swedes to guard him ;)
My only beef with this recording and not really a problem, but you don't get to see Tomas killing it. I've seen them live twice and he is amazing to watch.
Fr they should’ve given him more cam time that would’ve been awesome
This has to be the best recording of live Meshuggah in a LONG time

No Bleed. It must be their Smells Like Teen Spirit.
@@charleschi843 it's also very difficult for them to play it live
This is honestly my favourite era of Meshuggah. God bless this band.
They've literally only gotten better over time.
God is not with this band. Maybe Satan is. You actually think that God approves of this? No, he doesn’t.
@@meta45354I think they are always sitting on the highest point of their time. it's impossible to think always the same way when you get older, I also think until Obzen they are in their heaviest form. it's impossible to compose and create same amount of heavy waves in art all the time, if you do this, it means you are not honest with your presence, also your best works always get judged in the spectrum of your creations, the economy of your fans imprisons you. Music labels are greedy as hell too! No one will be able to be as heavy as these guys in metal history anymore think! I would put Nevermore, Strapping Young Lad, Opeth, Testament, and Death in a same catagory too.
@@meta45354 no detuning involved. except a half step down from standard. its called extended range.
@@jlee3925He said God bless this band. He never made any claims. God bless you.
This needs to be released as a live album, man this sounds so pristine
pristine is definitely the word
the best live recording I've ever heard, some songs are litterally better than studio ffs
I'm comfortably stoned off my ass right now in my dorm with the cold air coming through my window and experiencing such a euphoric calmness right now listening to this set.
I haven't felt this happy while stoned in years. Just letting go of my worries with great music. This is really nice.
I feel you. This band brought me closer to meditation than anything else ever.
How can Jens Kidman sound this incredible this far into their career is beyond me
his voice is definitely showing it's age some but he still sounds fantastic for real!
Honestly I think his vocals here are some of his best! Something about them are especially heavy nowadays, he sounds massive
He sounds better now.
I also think him not moving around as much helps him maintain proper technique easier. No wasted breath, no wasted energy. He can just focus it all on the performance. He picks a spot on stage he likes and plants himself there, and lets the performance speak for itself.
@@ProfChocMilkThe slower they play, the heavier they get. Example: Futah Breed Machineeeeaahhh
Did I just witness Meshuggah literally conjure up a downpour with the weight of the riff of In Death - Is Life?!
Had the pleasure seeing them last year, this recording perfectly captures the pure destructive and hypnotic performance that they deliver time and time again. Hard to see anything topping this, absolute gold!!
Broooo that breakdown of Pravus was better than album and old lives. Jens is crazy and guitar tones are amazing man. 22:10
dude thats what keeps making me rewatch this. the scream is so powerful and the breakdown is so fucking heavy. I would have melted if I was there live
It’s insane he just sounds better with age
This concert improved my bench press 3000%
It inspired me to give up a gym membership and buy a drum set lol
It inspired me to bench press my drum set
This is what happens when metal is on Tren.
😂😂😂😂 me too bro! Like seriously
it is known that listening to meshuggah gives you super human strength!!
After seeing them live, the intro when Broken Cog starts playing and their outlines flash in front of the red lights like some ancient humanoid demons that have been summoned to the stage, it gives some real goosebumps
Oh, this is so true!
not gonna lie, that part made me think of a super over the top dethklok intro.
Felt the same exact way. I understand now
Man I just saw them a few days ago for the first time. I went to the concert to see In Flames and had never really listened to Meshuggah but they ripped my fucking face off
Couldn't agree more.
Seeing Meshuggah live has to be metal's closest equivalent to what religious people feel on a pilgrimage to their holy sites. Their live show just...happens to you. It's not "going to a show," it's engaging in a spiritual journey. As for the new songs: I shed an involuntary tear at the ending of Ligature Marks at their show in Philly last year. They don't quit making perfect music.
I can totally relate to that. Saw them live about seven years ago, and it was indeed a nearly religious experience
Catch 33 is my bible sooooooo
Poetry brother. My first time hearing them was live. Stopped me moving for 45 minutes straight... I just stood there wondering if the reaper had come.
This is exactly how I describe it to my friends when I talk about all the times I've seen them live. I was there for this one too and it was no different.
I remember when I saw them some years ago. Waiting around for them to come on, I was gazing around at the people in the balcony seated section, and as I turned back around me and the random guy next to me caught eyes as we were both doing the exact same thing at the same time. We quipped that we'd much rather be down here than up there, had a chuckle and then left each other to it. Fast forward to the end of the show and everyone's filtering out, I walk past the same guy again. He's the only one facing forward at the empty stage, arms crossed but holding his open jaw in his hand with his eyes wide open. I simply laid my hand on his should and said 'I know...'. Wide-eyed and aghast, his reply was '......I can't believe what I've just seen....'. He'd just had himself his first 'come to Jesus' Meshuggah moment. It was beautiful thing to see.
Bro Meshuggah is literally an abduction
Festival goer : “Christ that last band was pretty heavy”
Meshuggah : “Hold our beers!” *proceeds to open a black hole with their music*
it's insane how some of the songs sound even better live
100%. I personally dont like the mix for Future Breed Machine on record, but its absolutely earth-shattering live
@@mattyglen87 I love the production of destroy erase improve.
Definitely ligature marks.
There's something about their album production that always felt off to me. Not 'bad', it just wears my ears out. This live mix I absolutely love though!
@@KevinStudent This is why I like the original production of Nothing. People(and the band?) hate it because the guitars aren't as pronounced, but the grittyness of it makes it feel more grounded to me.
Whoever decided to include the moshpit camera is an absolute genius. Brilliant way of showing just how into it the crowd were!
Presumably it was the same person who decided to have almost no footage of Tomas, so I wouldn’t be so quick to bestow genius credentials…
45:16 is the Meshuggah equivalent to the beginning of the Battle of Helms Deep. Minds mirrors was the calm before the storm then out of nowhere it looks like an all out battle just started in the pit, and the the pouring rain makes it even better.
The last two and a half minutes of “Straws Pulled At Random”: truly brilliant. It’s some of what they do best, and that is “simplicity”. It’s what separates them from every single one of the other bands that have tried to climb up the mountain on which Meshuggah sits. Breathtakingly composed and almost unbelievably executed in this, listen to just that and try not to be deeply fucking moved. Yes, they can be complicated musically, but never flashy. Every single aspect of their playing as musicians is completely and totally in service of the song. The riff. The vocals. The solo.
The near-60-year-olds still rocking harder than 20 year olds today.
Jens is 57, wow. Never knew!
guy who doesn't listen to any smaller metal bands
@@BikonitoYou clearly havent seen meshuggah live. I saw them in a small scene back in the days and i just saw this tour in an arena. No band is even close to the loundness and perfection those guys delivers live.
@@Bikonito No he's right
@@Bikonitoit’s not a case of people not listening to new bands, it’s the fact that no new band comes even close to these guys. These guys were groundbreaking in 1995 and are still groundbreaking in 2023 🤘🏻
FREDRIK THORDENDAL! He sounds so good. Always improvising those solos and adding cool flourishes to the melodies. Absolutely one of the most original guitarists in the world.
Fredrik moment 👍
the wizard himself
His solos are influenced by Allan Holdsworth, but yeah, Fredrik has a very unique sound, very creative.
@@mammontustado9680 of course. I also think he’s highly influenced by Wayne Krantz. Especially on the phrasing side of things. Wayne Krantz starts and stops a lot of his ideas on the upbeats which is what Fred does as well. I think where Fredrik goes out on his own is the mixture of his Holdsworth tone, krantz phrasing, and then his use of note clusters when he taps. It’s so unique.
Allan Holdsworth.
Tonight, I'm gonna see them for the 13th time in my life.
I consider myself extremely lucky that I lived when these guys were playing. Every moment is a blissful gift if I think about it.
i saw them yesterday the first time, not the last time hopefully. mindblowing!
I became a meshuggah fan three years ago... I've never seen them live... Seeing this makes my skin crawl... they are colossal monsters
The best description I have heard about Meshuggah is they are god-like machines from the future that went back in time to destroy mankind but got bored and formed a band instead.
the bass tone rips through your chest. The Abysmal Eye in particular was insanely thick.
This could pass for a fully produced Meshuggah live album/video release from the band themselves. Nice job capturing the intensity that is this band, Bloodstock!
100% This is better than their official live releases
@@CurtisSpiers Definitely their best live sound since Alive
It was edited by the lighting guy. I reckon they had a fair bit of say over the release of it.
The variations on the songs are ELITE
What makes you say it's not fully produced ?
The drop into Rational Gaze, the entire crowd is absolute chaos. Awesome.
the insanity of the moment. GASP \m/
Then the ascent into the "perceptions distorted" part! Holy god!
It's unbelievable what these 5 men are capable of producing. 5 brains. 10 eyes. 10 ears. 10 arms. 10 legs. 40 fingers. 10 thumbs. 5 mouths... consistently 20 years ahead of their time.
My life would be missing a vital piece if these 5 men never met. I often think of that.
Jesus Christ. What an intro. These guys came into Guitar Center Tallahassee back in 2009 when I was working there, and I talked to them all having no idea who they were until our drum guy said "Do you know who's in this store right now?" Seriously the nicest most genuine guys. I had definitely liked their music and how incredible they are,
but didn't recognize them on their day off. Great guys, but this is absolutely terrifying live. Wow.
Being humble
What a monumental band
The editing at 14:08 made me seriously question how high I was for a second
Same bro
haha man I was waiting for him to do that pitch fall and suddenly the whole scene changed and I thought I was tripping xD but I love those viusal effects! supports the psychedelic nature of the music
was sure i was for the shadow realm

This is just pure EPICNESS , words can't describe how colossal this performance is
Kolossis performance lol. They are incredible. Idk how they do it.
Absolutely phenomenal concert performance by the band, amazing sound, breathtaking lighting and stage setup. Also special thumbs up to Tomas Haake for playing so flawlessly despite his life-changing condition on his hands. He is such talented musician. Hope he can kind a cure/treatment soon!
I am not a metal fan and yet I love Meshuggah, how is that possible? These guys are insanely good live
They made you a metal fan my friend😊
cause its just jazz with distortion pedals, tell me am wrong
Seems you are a metalhead after all.
Welcome to the family!
When this band formed, they wanted to mimic Metallica. They've done surpassed them! Creating a whole genre, popularized 7-8 strings, monumentality raising the bar of technical music. Meshuggah deserves every bit of fame and attention... 🤘
Subgenre, Periphery would have a word with you over calling djent a genre.
@@Remedy462 Thordendal literally coined the term 'djent' which described the the sound the chugs made. Shug did 'djent' way before Periphery.
@@bhaskarvillehes making a joke about p5s name
Contradictions Collapse was more than a Metallica- style thrash album. It was very progressive and is still highly underated.
Not just that - pushing a hard as fuck mesmerizing, mathematical style no-one had heard, cheers
Thank you for watching, please make sure you Subscribe to our UA-cam Channel and Ring that Bell to stay updated on upcoming Metal videos from Bloodstock.
We would like to Thank Meshuggah and their team for working with us on this Monumental performance.
Bloodstock Team
Thank you for making my weekend!
The mixing and mastering in this was amazing.
Lawrence Mackrory killed it, what a mix
Great footage. I'm jamming along on guitar to some it on my studio stereo lol 🤘.
when is the premiere?
I wasnt actually a meshuggah fan.
I simply did not realize how monolithically sick this band really is.
I dont even know what to call the vibe they're nailing in their performance. It is darkness and light, beauty and ugliness, ecstacy and pain, magnitude and insignificance, spirituality and harmony equally along side cognitive distortion and dissonance. Perfectly presented in a way that somehow makes sense to my brain. They don't even seem human in their performance. What a vibe, and what a way to get hooked by a band.
This straight up gave me some kind of spiritual experience. I did not want this performance to end. My opinion of meshuggah was largely "ehhh" going into this video. what a pretentious snob i have become. Meshuggah are fucking legends. I needed this donkey punch to the balls.
Fucking wow. Also anyone know the name of who mixed this video/stage? I really really want to know.
Many metal bands sound a bit like a little gremlin acting creepy for halloween. They are edgy, and it can be fun for sure.
Meshuggah sounds more like the cosmic horror of nothingness, an infinitely large meteor on collision course with earth, or maybe the brutality and deranged parts of our human species.
They embody such immense darkness but its so groovy and well written that their concerts are like a spiritual release valve to me.
Their lyrics are pretty damn poetic too.
The struggle to free myself of restraints
Becomes
My very shackles
Cheers brother. I had the exact same opinion until I saw their "Live at Summer Breeze" video a couple years ago (check that one out too). Absolutely legendary band.
great comment, dude!
Fuck. I love these guys so much. Seen them twice, and each show has been an almost spiritual experience. There will never be another band like Meshuggah.
This is the culmination of 30 years of honing in on sound. This is everything they’ve been trying to achieve. They’ve been my favorite band for the last 21 years, I’ve seen them live eight times, and I’ve been saying since Immutable was released: this is the best the band has ever sounded, and that record I rank amongst the classics. Having Fred back (he’s absolutely on fire during this set) makes them whole again, and if they weren’t already, this performance puts them at the top of metal music forever. I honestly do not throw this term around often, especially when discussing music, but what else do you call them at this point other than “genius”?
Hear, hear
I couldn't have written how I feel about them better than you have there. They are just incredible on every level
Eldritch beings lmao
Straight facts.
69 likes. Lol.. but yeah, totally agree! Only got to see them live once.
I also don’t understand when other massive festivals (looking at you Download, Hellfest ) won’t give bands like Meshuggah, Elder, Gojira, Royal blood a chance to headline the main stage. They always linger to the geriatric bands. That’s why people complain about not having new big rock/metal bands. Kudos to Bloodstock for giving proper dues to the bands who are actually relevant.
Even then people flock in droves to Download and Hellfest. If people start boycotting such festivals then probably the organizers will understand.
Absolutely agree with your point but I don't think Royal Blood deserve to be mentioned on the same level as the other bands you described lol
@@deepseaape Royal Blood? Is that the 'Death From Above 1979 B-Sides' band?
Meshuggah should just be headlining every concert.
@@apersonontheinternet8034 yeah pretty much
Unreal seeing them as elder men with huge beards just playing the most heart thumping rhythms music has ever seen.
They invented the breakdown and what metal became. Before anyone else did it.
Meshuggah and Gojira are king.
Thank God for Meshuggah 💙💙💙
Im standing in the middle , eyes open , magical. best gig ive seen in years and im 57
its official.
MESHUGGAH IS the BEST HEAVY band in this universe.
they have been doing it so long, so good, so consistent, yet so humble.
most vocalists of this genre loses their voice in a few years.. but this screamer damnn
Meshuggah and Decapitated are the best touring the planet these days!! 🤌
@@estebanpaz4909 Jens is easily the best extreme metal vocalist ever walked on the planet Earth. His voice gets better...
But the heaviest element may be in France. Having something to do with the coastline and Mont Blanc. At least according to a certain band from there.
@@estebanpaz4909 Not even close lol, only if you're doing it wrong.
having a full 15 minutes of catch thirtythree in here is an absolute treat
I’ve done a lot of Meshuggah over the years and I’m healthier than ever
It's amazing how much older they get, the stronger and more perfect they are.
As a viltrumite
ITS CALLED EXPERIENCE
Meshuggah are one of those bands I often choose to listen to live because their sound is so massive. It’s like the tectonic plates shift when they play
Nice one, I feel like getting run over by a freight train when I'm in the crowd.
just epic
Well they take production to a whole another level
Saw them live in Seattle last month they shook the theater! Could hear it from the street during Demiurge encore and they did Bleed! Epic!
Feels like the sky is about to Collapse on to you
Man i so badly want to see them live atleast once before they stop 😢
Ditto!
you absollutely have to, best concert of my life.
That outro on Straws Pulled At Random just cured my depression
they need to put this on CD immediately, sound is so killer
Blu-ray too.
its 2023, why?
Vinyl to 😮
What's a cd
They should put this to tape and sell meshuggah walkmans
Grammy award to the sound engineer and induction to hall of fame
Being a fan of this band since the late 90's, it's such a treat to see them still flattening people all these years. They've never sounded better!
dude the vocalist is fucking insane, sounds like a fucking monster
THAT GUITAR/BASS TONE. HOLY FUCK.
I cannot believe they sound as good live as they do on their albums. Pure madness.
get the chance and test it live... u wont be the same again
@@schueff0r I saw them live a decade ago and I still remember it like it was yesterday.
@@Mass5775 One concert out of too many to count. Most memorable of all.
It was my very first one.
i lived it and it's true , perfect song perfect blast
heaviest matter in the universe
Pravus is a song I love more the more I hear it. It is just mighty and mean. Perfect.
I remember meeting these guys on their first U.S. tour. With Slayer. Thomas and all of the guys were in an RV. I walked up to the window which was open and they were conversing with a few people. I waited politely with Destroy, Erase, Improve and Chaosphere selves in my hand. I asked them to sign these if they didn’t mind and Thomas offered a bottle of whiskey to drink from and I did. I mean, how often is it that you get to drink from the same bottle as a legend such as this. It was a good night.
I drank Mystic Heated Wine with Jim Morrison, and maybe a couple others. The wine part came from a VW van from Napa, and the heated part, western Arizona. It was an amazing illuminating night. Sorry, it just came to me when I saw that.
More Meshuggah histories like this in the comment box please
@@lagallinatomasitasaw them on the same tour, in Orlando. I love Slayer and respect them for having the balls to have Meshuggah open for them. Even the volume difference between opener and headliner didn't mask the fact that they sounded like the Muppets after Meshuggah.
Met Thomas, Jens and Frederik outside before the show, and they were cool as shit. They were bothered by the heat and humidity in Orlando and actually looked funny as fuck all red and sweating. We had a good laugh - I must've been 20-21 at the time.
you are so fucking lucky dude@@AbeRodriguez79
The breakdown in ‘Pravus’ is one of the heaviest on planet earth. You know which one I’m referring to. 🤪🤘🏼
Exactly! Hearing it now, reading your comment... And that long GROOOOOOOWL!
VIOLATE
Metal has become exactly what I knew it would be at around the 1/4 mark of the 21st century. The old fellas are still grinding it out while looking like grey wizards onstage hammering it out from generation to generation. I knew it would be like this. METAL WILL NEVER DIE!!!
This might be the best live show recording of all time
Marten's and Fredrik's backup vocals on Future Breed Machine 🤘😎
hell yes
Clsssic
will just watch this on repeat until the premiere
i have been waiiiiiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES. COME WITH ME MY PEOPLE. TO THE SPEAKERRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSS!
Premiere of what??
@@mariajosequintanalopez5479 Before this video you see right now, uploaded 1 day ago, there were only fragments (a couple of minutes) from the concert available.
@@wikipediaH thanks for the assist!
I saw them last night at The Paramount Theater in Seattle. They are unlike any other band I’ve seen, and I’ve been going to concerts for over 40 years. Very tight and menacing sound.
the venue they picked was also perfect... the ornate vibe of the place juxtaposed the music so beautifully
I was there brother unforgettable night! First saw them open for Tool in 2002!
@@Lolaandcassidyadventures did you see the tool show at the dome a month or two prior?
Meshuggah has been, genuinely, melting faces to the same degree for damn near 30 years of my life. Never changed. Always Brutal. Thanks for that.
Jens Kidman is 57. Just let that sink in.
That means their 25th anniversary remastered album editions are old enough to be be my kids parent!
He's a time-tested, battle-hardened elder. 💪
His work on Immutable is un-fucking-believable. Easily in my pantheon of metal vocal albums. He’s only getting more powerful 😂
He likes juice. He finishes his juice, because it is in fact a filtered vitamin substance.
I don't know how to put this into words.... just how colossal Meshuggah is.. even compared to other titans and legends of metal. I am not trying to shit on other legendary bands, I appreciate all their music, but this is almost like pure devastation - being utterly consumed by death - beaten by a juggernaut.
Y'all know what I am saying?
Juggernaut is a good word hey mathematical, mesmerizing. I hear a bit of the heavy King Crimson in there - but i could just be me - they always sound like Meshuggah
I know what you're saying.
Like the very sky over your head is about to collapse on to you
All eyes closed, the sign of a profound transe. These human beings were meant to meet and create genius together.
Incredible. I saw them earlier in this tour. Total perfection.
Holy crap. They're not kidding, monumental is an apt description. This SLAYS. Haake is a goddamn machine.
This is literally the worst he’s ever sounded. Watch their other vids
That is one for the history books! WHAT A PERFORMANCE!
Realizing there's not one
"yeah" or useless added curse word on any of their lyrics truly speaks to their writing and structure being a cut above anyone in the buisness...
Not to mention the obvious musicianship and sound.
By far the greatest thing to ever happen to the metal genre in my book.
Legends! Touring with them in Europe and doing the first shows in the states was unreal! No one like them! Never again!
Speaking of legends, if you're actually Chris Pennie...one of the best to ever do it, bar none
@@LilDeuceDeuce Hey thanks for the compliment! Yes it is me! Have to pay my respects on here! Still mind blowing after all these years! Cheers!!
Never paid them any mind until I saw them at bloodstock this year. Converted on the spot. So much respect for their musicianship.
this world fails to make sense, until I listen to Meshuggah.
They played Pravus - most violent metal in true gravity
The whole performance is utterly mesmerizing. But light the shortening fuse in particular, WOW. Feels like the sky is about to fucking collapse right on top of you.
