3:49 that final scream changes tone/pitch as it just escalates deeper, and deeper into the most evil & glorious fucking sound imaginable. Does it live, while performing and moving around committing to the performance visually. This guy, well these guy's are living legends that metal fan's will know and love for thousands of years to come.
Still the meanest sounding thing you'll ever hear from a stage. The best band in a generation. Their live show is spiritual, and has been amazing for over 2 decades.
Demiurge is the song which makes me feel like i'm a 100m large titan stepping on hundreds of tiny human bodies wiggling and trying to escape their miserable fate. Feels good bros
WeWantYouToStay Consider how long he’s been doing this. Watch the video where he is recording the screams for Catch 33. Its been almost 30 years of that. If anything, we should all be happy and grateful that he still pushes himself. One of the greatest frontmans of all time in metal IMO.
I've seen him live twice at the house of blues. He didn't seem as into it as he does here with tons of people in the audience. Not mad tho. Shit was life changing making eye contact with jens while moshing and screaming the lyrics in sync. No homo lol
@@GrungeIsN0tDead You didn't give any kind of response to what he said. "Nah they're mainstream rock" is not an answer to "not everyone likes them." Neckbeard weirdo, learn to talk to people.
@@JTguitarlessons I was responding to his comment, that guns n roses have haters yet they headline, I was saying that even tho they have haters they still a mainstream band that is easy to listen to by the mainstream audience, unlike Meshuggah. No need to be a dick calling me names like a child.
They blend together. The guitars and the bass. Being in the same octave actually. I'd even go as far as saying you really hear more the bass than the guitars. That low end density especially. As someone who's played guitar in a band, with time I started really noticing how *unimportant* are guitars lol (fellow guitar players, don't kill me!). I used to think that everything else is a filler but in reality... it's the guitar that's the filler. Yeah, no shit, Sherlock. In order to cut, the guitar itself must sound kinda weak and sometimes even shrill, but hey, what sounds good in your bedroom has almost a 100% chance of sucking in a live/band setting.
With the replacent member, his headless fanned frets guitar, the bassist new hairdo and Marten's new guitar it meshuggah almost looks like a new band, more modern. I like it, still kicks ass
I think Jens sounds great, especially since the last LP. I think he's exploring a slightly lower register. Some how it's more intense, deeper. It's perfect for Meshuggah.
He can't do the "shouting" vocal technique that used to be able to do a few years back. He said that it damaged his voice so he has to do this lower register scream. But I agree, it sounds pretty good.
Voice is great - it's his spelling here that sounds very unusual. But then it seems it was the last song in the set so he must have been running on fumes
@Ghetzta Moria & Sergeant Milan 2008 he sounded great after that but it slowly got worse But he says the next album will be similar to iowa so I'm interested in what he'll sound like
@@samjones9936 Yeah I think he sounded great on obZen but he sounded noticeably different on Koloss. I think he sounded the best on DEI. I'll always support the band though.
I bought Carnival is forever in Poland during a trip two years ago and it's so damn insane, plus I think they didn't overdub the guitars, so it's one track of everything and it still sounds fucking massive.
Really? I think it sounds hoarse. He has trouble hitting the higher and lower. On top of that his scream fades in parts where its supposed to be a full scream. I know it's a live performance and he's probably out of breath, but I can still hear lots of air coming out but it's just not vibrating his vocal cords. I might be wrong. But Don't get me wrong I'm a die-hard meshuggah fan. I have all of their albums on CD.
Meshuggah played in New Delhi, India in 2010.They started the gig with Rational Gaze and the crowd went wild. One of the best live performances I ever witnessed . Thank you Meshuggah !!
@@irena7777777 I agree. Don’t get me wrong. Fredrik is a legend and rightfully so, but his solos are all starting sound repetitive and phoned-in over the last couple of albums. Per brings a fresh energy and I was actually kind of bummed when his stint was over. Amazing musician.
still the best band i've seen live. and i've seen pantera ;) \m/ rip dime. .......and a LOT of other bands and been to countless gigs..... am 40 with 30 years of music behind me. meshuggah. are. IT.
I feel sorry for all the hard core long time fans because I've just found this band and this is the second te I've heard this masterpiece. Just like Tool, I'm excited to experience Meshuggah ripen over the years.
As a fan of both Scar Symmetry and Meshuggah, the idea of Per filling in for Frederik just about made my head explode. Good to see he's doing the job well.
Per Nilsson is an absolute freak. While he's technically adapt in so many different modes and scales the guy can actually write a decent song. Usually it's only one not the other.

Melt whole humans!
They destroyed , erased and improved the whole audience.
I'm impressed with Jens' live vocals.
30 years doing em
They are all masters of what they do and compliment each other well.
From the first note I was like holy shit this sounds incredible
8-string Les Paul. Now I've seen everything.
Since there's a double neck Gibson SG, why not
Same thing what I thought when I saw Them live
It's actually an Ibanez.
It's a single cut, but damn yeah

Hetfield: "yeah I have to play safe with my voice"
Jens: "brrreeeeeeeeee"
Jens doesn't bree. Don't be so disrespectful.
@@Alex-Walker , we have a snowflake.
Thats because his screaming technique doesnt stress the voice.

Feels good bros
i have felt that too
Best description ever of this song 😅 hell yeah
I think that is colossaly gay.
Feels good bro ZULOL
that feel !
Frederick is a legendary guitarist, but I do appreciate how Pers brings his own element to the song rather than just playing it exactly like Thordenal
All those beards add 10xp during battle.

My son was conceived while this song was playing, 7 years ago. He is now 11 feet tall, 700 lbs. I named him Harald
Hows Harald? Did he move to the mountains yet?
Probably their best performance of this song. I keep coming back to this one.
The dust kicked up at this show made me basically blind during the show, and I was in immense amounts of pain the rest of the weekend.
Worth it.
I don't know man..this just hits different than most metal. This shit is primal.
I have to admit, Santa Claus is actually doing a really good job filling in for Fredrik.
2:48 when the metal hits just right
Good lord, Lovgren's bass tone is fantastic when I can hear it.
I can constantly hear it when I have headphones on. It's actually quite present.
It's really loud haha

He did unbelievably well for so many years to scream and use the technique he was using before, he still sounds crazy good now though.
Voice is great - it's his spelling here that sounds very unusual.
But then it seems it was the last song in the set so he must have been running on fumes
Agreed.
yeah his technique is more gargly now but it‘s a nasty vocal that fits well and not a compromise (like other singers that lose their initial scream)
Straight up legends. Saw them live in Stuttgart recently, it was a religious experience!
Ich war auch da ! :D
Meshuggah muss man einfach live gesehen haben, live sind sie noch 10 mal besser als von der CD mMn :p
Yep. That is exactly the way I’d explain it
I saw them open for Tool in ‘03, and many times since. But that first show...seeing a stadium of bludgeoned ticket-holders was epic.
Jens puts 100% into every "note" down to the last millisecond.
Jen's voice is unreal! How can he do this year after year?!? Respect!
Every Meshugga song sounds like an engine. Each one more powerful than the last.
imagine SITTING IN for meshuggah. 😳 no pressure 😵
A former class mate of mine did for Haake. Freaking suicidal gig presaure I would imagine. He plays drums in C B Murdoc.

got tired of Slayer
I was just about to say the same haha
