@@YanusDV that is not a new song my friend. That is from the nothing album
@@optimus Right you are! Kidman's brief vocal rendition of Haake's pedal hat on Glints Collide. It was quite dark and he lost his tempo a little towards the end.. They should have set up the click track and lights for that one.
Thank you 🤘
@Esteban Enzo wow 100% legit !P!!!1!!
I love how the audience appears frozen like they're witnessing an alien invasion.
Indeed, I aways thought meshuggah as Mass Effect's reapers kind of music hahaha
ruclips.net/video/_SlFicLFxLM/видео.html what happened in chile ?
Trust me dude...
I was abducted 2 times by this band. I was never the same.
They had me frozen when i saw them too lol they're fucking amazing. Such a great band
I can now, without sound, instantly recognize any Meshuggah song by the lightwork.
😆 hell yeah!
That's f..ing Cool!
You could probably probably hook the power supply for the lights up to a midi and recreate the track lol.
it's 100% live and more !!!!
It's hard to dislike meshuggah. It's so hard.
Usually the ones who dislike them don't really understand their music. Too unconventional for them
@@MrRundas exactly
@@MrRundas even though it's in 4/4 all the time. Being a duehard meshuggah fan any other music I'm hearing is always simple to digest and understand from the first playthrough. Meshuggah thought me to really dig into rhythm, groove and phrases. Somehow it makes you feel the music more with every kick and accen here and there. Still my Favorite band for a really long time and I think it will remain like that for decades.
I sent a friend of mine straws pulled at random. His response was that he listened to 1 second of the song and his ears bled. Hasn’t talked to me since… “i listened to one second of one song and my ears are going to bleed”
@@existentialopal721 Sounds like a cool dude. 👎
Happy Corona everybody!
Wish i could get back to work..
Hold on Edvard, we'll get out of this shit... Thank you for this precious material
trust me... We all do too lol
I wish you went back to work too! Hehe. Was on the front row for this show. My first meshuggah experience live. What a trip. Thank you good Sir.
Me too, been using this time to just create and experiment with virtual ideas in things like Capture. It's been interesting that's for sure, but I too am ready to go back to work and play with real lights.
I wish you could too man. Cant wait to see you lads again in Toronto Sooooon!!!!!
I think that it's quite a shame that nobody is talking about Per Nilsson, the guy who replaced Fredrik since his absence on tour. I feel that he deserves huge respect for what he had to learn in such a short time to keep up with these surgical tech metal giants!Just listening to his solo in Clockworks was the proof that he was the right choice for guest guitar player!
The Solos he always comes up on Bleed are incredible as well. His solo in Born in Dissonance is not exactly the same as Fredrik's but sounds 100% Meshuggah.
Absolutely an amazing guitarist and teacher especially when talking about mixing and mastering
Edvard is the 6th member of Meshuggah. Spot on.
No Band/Artist In The Entire Industry Has A Better Light Show. Period.
search in YT: "Excision Presents: The Thunderdome 2020 Live Experience"
I was completely blown away.
@@33MedvedevJeff used to be good…
@@33MedvedevEven his shows were better a couple of years ago.
I would say TOOL.
I'm an up and coming lighting guy (last doing club work) and I just want to say this is MASTERFUL. Having seen some videos on how this is programmed/operated, and as a big fan of using a similar style of scene setting bump-based busking, seeing the intricacy and consistency of this show is absolutely incredible. I could write an entire goddamn essay on this, but here's my short take:
You set up a rule system of where individual sounds have their respective hits, positions, and effects, so everything has an incredible amount of internal consistency in terms of timing despite being a relentless attack on the retinas. But the core of Meshugga's music is their intense and precise chugging, and using a "home" position of center/up and strobing to the hit means that while there's certainly repetitious visual elements, it's only repetitious in the same way the musical notes are. Everything is pretty much an expansion from there, all other looks are in contrast to this standard look, but a standard that's always fine to come back to. This also makes creating a bunch of unique looking moments quite easy since there's a comparison point, while never losing the identity of the overall aesthetic.
Occasionally I found effects where I was like "huh, I'm not sure if that totally belongs", but that's only because I get a very strong sense of what the show feels like in terms of an internal ruleset. Not a ton of designers do that for their shows (including stadium shows tbh), but I love it when I see it. You made a language with light and then wrote poetry.
by saying "relentless attack on the retinas" you mean that this could be hazardous for the people in front (for example)? Already been to a Meshuggah concert in a small venue, did not had problems at all. I'm also starting myself learning stage lightning thanks to Edvard, I've fallen in love with this form of art. On the other hand tho, I suffer heavy health anxiety (hypochondria) and since I've suffered a retina acciden with a car led headlight (luckily with low damage) months ago now I've becomed pretty phobic about high intensity lights. I know, it sounds funny, a new learner in light design that is also scared of lights... But nonetheless I'd like to learn more about using the lights safely so when corona will be over I will be able to go to concerts and also (hopefully) will be able to do my future light shows without the fear of damaging me or other people
@MrRundas There are plenty of other positions in a lighting crew where you do not need to look into high intensity lights. Rigger, Dimmer guy, Project management, Stage designer, Normal tech etc etc...
Any position at foh is pretty bad tho if intensity is a problem.
Bright lights is ofc dangerous, in many ways, but with short bursts with a long throw, it is quite safe.
Lasers is another story tho...
I had an illness a few years ago where my eyes got SUPER sensitive to normal indoor lights, that was the scariest thing ever, had it for 2 days where i just laid down with closed eyes.
luckily it was just my eyes reacting to my contact lenses..
Almost thought that was it.
@@EdvardHansson Hi Edvard, thank you for answer me! I feel you about the contact lenses, they sometimes can create annoying shit like the one you had... Speaking of myself I think in the end is 90% a problem in my head, I am definitely a hypochondriac, a HEAVY one, and this summer I had this stupid accident with a fog headlight lamp that did caused a little damage, luckily nothing serious, but that made me very worried about intense lights. But still, as you said, despite mobile heads can produce a huge output you don't shove them into people or into you for several seconds, it's just intense but rapid burst from a distance... Otherwise all FOH light designers like you would be blind like a mole,I guess.. On the other hand I think lasers are dangerous as hell and I'm glad there has been and advancement in safety regulations
@@MrRundas yeah, i have not heard about eye issues with lighting operators, yet.
We will see when i get really old, maybe i will see a meshuggah rig there in the distance while im sleeping. I will probably get dementia syndromes when i see it with closed eyes, starts to talk about the rig out of nowhere.
And yes the regulations about lasers is very strict.. Wich is good, but also very hard to work with at times. Like germany, where a special guy needs to be flown in to come and inspect and write protocols.
I'm also a lighting tech. So what they do is to upload all of their music into midi tracks and then use those midi tracks exported to a lighting sequencer software (like Sunlight or Onyx even) and place lighting Qs entirely locked with the midi track timeline. It's actually all pre-programmed by the band and their lighting techs just need to deal with the installing and wrapping before and after the concert. It's ridiculously easy. Which makes it even more genius.
This is an absolutely phenomenal concert. hats off Meshuggah, Aliens from the future who came here to evolve humans to the next stage of evolusion through music.
Absolutely insanen concertt
I've literally just been trying to explain how seeing Meshuggah is like a religious experience, and I came across this video. There's nothing quite like being there, but this gives you a fucking good idea of the intensity! Great job dude, you're definitely the 6th member!
33:06 is the heaviest breakdown in metal history and you cannot prove me otherwise!!!
Lethargica is just straight bone-crushing, planet shattering madness 🤯
Slaughter to prevail, last live show...
i think meshuggah outdid themselves with Abyssmal eye final breakdown/outro
Fam demiurge tho
Try Engulfed in Excrutiation by Defeated Sanity.
2020 is not so bad anymore. Thanks Edvard ❤️😭
@@stewiepid4385 So he's mis-spelling his own name? Is that what you are saying?
Thank you SO much for this! 😭🖤 Life is so dull without concerts...
Right!! I can’t wait to get back to them! Hopefully I’ll see Rammstein Gojira and Messhuggah live soon!
You are so right. I missed 3TEETH, Bauhaus, Tool Rammstein. Heartbroken over here. This Meshuggah video makes me happy.
18:20 A mellow ending of 'The Hurt...' and then it goes straight to Rational Gaze, fucking insane. I don't know how many times I've watched this set, thank you Edvard!
I was at this concert, was the best performance of entire graspop. The sound in the "tent" was so insanely hard, and the bass was so full. The extremely tigh playing and the lighting complimenting this. The bassdrum on some parts was connected to the lights and all. Never like Meshuggah as much as i did being there. Damn what a blast.
Still getting goosebumps remembering the show in Hamburg when you strucked me with dem Lazerz.... By far the best live show I've ever seen. Thank you ledvard
Gives me goosebumps still remembering may 2019 Louisiana show. Greetings from USA Texas
Nothing drops so hard in this world as the Rational Gaze intro
never in my life have i ever heard and seen a live show recorded this good.
Thank you! This concert genuinely influenced me so much. All of the Graspop 2018 was incredible. If you see this Paul, me and Jerry miss u! (Message to a lost friend from Graspop)
duuude, after knovelmetal i was dying to see the whole graspop concert in similar quality - nothing but love for posting this!
I'm stunned visually and frozen by my eargasm
Man, I love Meshuggah, but you... You are INSANE dude.
INSANE.
Love the snare sound this night.
56:12 The best melody on the planet right now to me!
That neverending bridge ...
Absurd. Ridiculous. Crazy. Insane.
It's infinitely better seeing it live somehow. Best band ever.
My friend... i have no words. The lights are such an integral and powerful part of the experience that is watching your combined efforts live.. This is the One Infinite Creator speaking. A truly spiritual experience.
randomly pulled straws are epic and those ghostnts at the end oh sweet lord!
The "Light Effects Guy" is the man! AWESOME!
Meshuggah is in my top three best bands of all time FORSURE, but this light show is the coolest fucking thing I've ever seen in my life! Dude seriously
This sounds so crisp holy shit
man.... after this video i decided i can't die without seeing meshuggah live
After seeing them a few times live i can say (after 100's of heavy music gigs) they are the most intense music live experience on earth..
This is absolutely overwhelming and breathtaking. I really love that feeling of way too much input. If i had only one wish, i think there should be a big giant light to rule them all, along with every hit on the snare drum. :)
Looking so much forward to seeing you all in December!
It wasn't the flashing lights that gave me a seizure, it was those damn time signatures 😵
I say this light show was your best work...Amazing.
Wow this must have been an experience
I've literally watched this every day since you uploaded it, thank you so much. Such a fucking epic stage presence.
I was here, somewhere up front, watching the awesomeness unfold. Fantastic.
Meshuggah generates internal energy within itself and then unpredictably erupts in symphony like a lashing cosmic mind. Literally like you are wayyyyyy too close to something that could easily vaporize you but this is the last moment of your life anyways so you are now here being existentially shown the true meaning of a singularity
Best live Light show ever!
In clockworks, the super bright white beams that "slide" down with the guitars is so VIOLENT. I love all of this.
I love how the lights truly look like straws during Straws Pulled At Random. Genius.
The ending part of bleed with this distortion live is just perfect
Hooked since 2008. They have the most exciting music on the planet! Thanks for sharing! \m/
I've waited 20 years to see them...hopefully they come to the US again by 2022
Update: Saw them in 2022 and had the absolute highest of expectations before the show. They exceeded my expectations to an impossible level and I will say that NO video exists which shows the true power of their modern light show, nor how devastatingly heavy/loud they are. Life changing experience
Thank you edward sincerely raymond from the may 2019 concert in louisiana usa it was nice to meet you in person
This is fucking fantastic! Thanks for making my night better Edvard!
Got tickets to see Meshugga in Nottingham in December - I really can't wait. Absolutely incredible show
In my humble opinion, this; 11:02 Can not be heard loud enough. One of the heaviest riffs ever!
End riff sequences in "behind the sun" from Koloss i think is one of their heaviest ones. Make me scared of myself just listening to that.. and im like, the least scary dude ever xD
Fuck yes
absolutely insane, you rule Edvard
Thank you so much for sharing this whole show @Edvard Hansson ! I'm a light technician myself in a little Theater, really really appreciate watching this, sick sick sick work :O New album is just bombing , Meshuggah fan for a lifetime
Fucking incredible. Thank you so much. I bought tickets to a show in New York a couple years ago now and was never able to make it, I was super fucked over at the time, and I kept the tickets but they kind of haunt me. It's hurt ever since to even see the words "Meshuggah live" together, and I am well aware that sounds ridiculous but I was seriously destroyed at that time and it was the only thing I could look forward to. But just recently I have been able to see what I missed and this is incredible and helpful. I'm very tempted to buy tickets to the upcoming philly or new york show, but terrified of being screwed out of going again. This will help in the meantime until I get these fucks out of my life. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this. My goodness, thank you.
man....i see you in São Paulo Brazil 2013....i was mixing the opening band....I can't explain the experience of seeing you working! I hope to see again
Very impressive work with the lights, it really adds a level of intensity to the music !!!
10:13 - 50 seconds of pure pleasure
Those lights make perfect metronomes for each member
This precision in sound is unbelievably stunning.
Sad that it cuts off during the early part of Demiurge. But still, I’m so glad to have most of this show finally available in this quality. I don’t think I’ve ever seen/heard a live recording capture the absolute hugeness of Meshuggah as well as this one does. Amazing.
Damn this is so good.
The lightning at straws pulled at Random is absolutely sick 😃😎
we will back to work for sure !!!!! thanks for this material !!! you are awesome !!
This is amazing, you're the God of Lights!
Love your lighting work!
Thank you. Best concert of my life.
The light show cured my astigmatism and my erectile dysfunction, all in one shot. Thank Meshuggah! 🤘
whoaahhh!!!!! So hypnotic👽👽👽
THANK YOU, I have been looking for something like this for so long!
there can only be ONE!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!! I've seen this live in stockholm and it was a life altering experience.. this video brings me back
Your lights elevate this music incredibly.
The music is very moving and extremely dynamic to begin with, and then the lights epically raise the perception to a place of transcendance.
Huge admirer of your work and this band's work.
You've designed a unique visual representation for every single riff in the whole concert. That's mad. Madly brilliant work! When there's something as already great as Meshuggah and you can come up with something that genuinely enhances and elevates it to a whole new level, that's when you know someone's a master.
I love you my man, thanks for this concert
Lighting is so good.
Please put all those songs in a Live album and sell it in every place you want! We want to ear this in maximum quality!
I want a full album through the foh or whatever it’s called
this year, iv come to realization that i need to watch these guys before they retire. good thing im a swede so i will get some oppertunities.
GREAT SHOW... AS THEIR ALL
Hell yes! Thanks for the upload
You work is insane!!! Greetings from Chile!!
Amazing as always!!!!
Hey Edvard, stupid question from a noob admirer...Do you still handle everything 'by hand' or is some/all of it programmed now that the band plays to a click?
Seems to me it's partly programmed and partly manually handled.
YAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS recently rewatched older videos and now his THIS comes up! 😍
Thanks for this video. I still call this "my M.R.I. music". You know, all the loud hammering and vibrational noise you hear when you lay in the M.R.I. tube. I always liked it, and when I heard Meshuggah, I thought, WOW, thats it !
This is absolutely amazing.
The legend! Just brilliant. One day I will catch thee guys live and witness this level of lasers to the face and brain.
no lasers here
What a glorious cataclysm! Thanks for putting up this video!
That Lethargica breakdown is the single most heavy riff that exists. Would be fun to see some of my Indie friends (nothing against Indie thou) getting their faces melt in front of that stage!
Pravus sounds like a swarm of angry, angry bees
Everything is the best show. I want to see in my eye from bangkok. 🖤
Epic! THANKS!
So the lighting guy is the 6th band member?
Holy Cow
La banda mas brutal de este maldito planeta......!!!!!!!! Ultrasonic chaos.....!!!!!!!!!!
I wish this was 5000x lounder in my headphones
Absolutely awesome
Clockworks took me like 3months to get the whole song clear
52:04 imagine if this happened during a gig and the lights didn't come back on.
There's a video from before the lights were programmed, showing a guy mashing buttons at an insane rate, and knowing each and every moment, of each and every song, intimately. Think about having that job. Got to blow your nose? Forget about it. Need to scratch your bum? Aint gonna happen. Gotta pee? Better learn to hold it. Or, invest in some of those wonderfully absorbent adult undergarments.
Violent Sleep Of Reason... Just 🤤
