- An interview with Mårten Hagström from Meshuggah, explaining the band and the music behind Meshuggah.
There's a little finnish in the beginning, thanks to jjuspe for translating:
Good evening youngsters. But atm is not evening. The sun is shining, the spring is coming and behind me the ice is melting. We are here outside the Nosturi(nosturi=crane) by a crane. We're interviewing a band called Meshuggah, which has come here to play a gig. The band has just released a record called Nothing.
The quality on the live clips is total bullshit, and the editing is terrible. Don't judge Meshuggah because of that.

I saw Tool and Meshuggah play together. Tool is a great band, but honestly Meshuggah blew them the fuck away.
'i dont care if a song is tachnical or not, i just care if its unique to me.'
WORD.
The song in the very beginning is called "Stengah" its from the album "Nothing"
My favourite interview with meshuggah
meshuggah,tool,ad opeth...jesus christ i love those bands so much
this must of been around 2002 if its when the nothing album came out. cant believe he says ''we are kinda an old band'' wow, and these guys are still doing it in 2021
20 years of epicness.
For a legitimate *Swedish* guy, *Marten* looks like that cool & friendly uncle from *Texas.*
Realy interesting. This band is better every time I listen to it. This music is to die for.
I love Meshuggah, one of the best metal bands around! \m/
0:36 The fact that the filter they put on separated the album cover from the original and rerelease is very coincided.
I wish the footage of them playing in this interview was released somewhere on the internet. 3:
Sweet, and so the respect from me grows for these guys. Good shit.
I love Marten and Meshuggah! It's pure extreme metal! It's great that Swede and Finn talk on English)
It's like that song 'i want you (she's so heavy) by the Beatles, that hypnotic recurring riff at the end (which they mercilessly cut mid riff after like 2 minutes) except with Meshuggah, it's ALWAYS a hypnotic riff, twisting your mind into a pretzel.
I'd rate that as one of the heaviest riffs written to this day
@@liamblack8786 that was a pretty cool comment I made back in 2009

Do my eyes deceive me? Mårten Hagström being interviewed by Petri Eskelinen of Rapture (obscure Finnish band)!? Two guys from two great metal bands!
Great post! Thanks a lot.
Really great interview!
Meshuggah is GOD! and btw, great interviewer asking great questions
damnnnnnnn i love this band.
The song is called Stengah, and can be found on the album Nothing(2002).
let me tell you something. meshuggah nuts all over tool, 24/8.
He says the polyrhythms and syncopations just "come out" but they MUST be concious of when they for instance have 4 measures of 7/8 then make up for it with 1 measure of 4/8 (2/4). Plus they write on a computer so im sure that exact aspect is layed out for them. Only in the recent albums has every riff amounted to 4/4 timing and it wasnt too long ago they started writing on computer. I dont think it kills heart or passion but opens up doors and ideas.
Interview on a fishing boat - that's metal
you cant love meshuggah if you've never really listened to it. you cant "hear" meshuggah listen to it!
when you find out how unexpected it is you will never get bored
MESHUGGAHHHHHHH!!
Perpetual Black Second, from the album Nothing.
yeah i got the whole album two days ago, even though it's scheduled for release a month from now, at least in the states
'Mayhem version' is totally killer! :)
Great interview; great interviewer; great band - 5/5
That live concert sounds so incredibly clean! Is that Ozzfest?
@ElielChen762
They did actually Re-do the songs they just replayed them with 8-strings. basically and cleared the vocals and drums up.
Tool crowd was too scared to throw stuff at them. Meshuggah sound's like an angry mother bear robbed of her cubs.
Haha yeah i know! im totally lost in the Meshuggah swamp, i once met the drummer you know, such a great and funny guy!
nothng is better than wake up in the morning seach in the refridgerator for a beer and fuckin crank up meshuggah.
Well Nothing came out in 2002, so this interview is pretty old, I actually got the impression from the last Tool album that they had been listening to Meshuggah a lot, especially when I heard Vicarious.
Called Stengah from the album Nothing
I totally hear ya.. but they must be at least concious of it. Haake would have alot of explaining to do ;) "Start over when you hear a cymbal!" lol
Sweet interview, tho, thx ;)
BORK BORK BORK
wehat an awesome language....
Yep.Obzen and chaosphere is more addictive than alcohols, i mean in itunes i've played it more than 760 times in just 1 month!
the computer thing is pretty old. my mums actually pals with thomas and jens and they were talking about it many years ago
Meshuggah is Meshuggah and that's great. And IMO for fuck's sake it should never be emulated.
I wouldn't say its not possible that it just comes out that way, when you think in terms of the drums you kinda feel something is needed hence the 4/8 in the end of that example. You dont have to count it just make it sound... somewhat natural, if you know what i mean.
first time i ever listened to meshuggah,i said,incredible technique but they are kinda boring..well,i've listened some more again and again,and now i ve got the point and i'm addicted to this band!i remember myself saying,why do they repeat the same riff all the time?(''rational gaze'' or ''I'' for example)now i want more!i dont want the riff to end!i don't know why,but it happens!just listen every album while you do something 2-3 times and you will find yourself loving meshuggah!!well,i do!
biggest metal band EVER
Thanks man, appreciated, I'll try my best to do as you recommend.
but i think you mean
MESHUGGAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-with plenty of h's... ;]
I think its natural to them at this point :) haha yeah :D i would love to hear them explain a song :D
you like chaosphere, and you want them to play slower? ^^ anyway, i havent heard that track... but i love when they go a bit slower sometimes
oherto rimus fuzzigad, ragatag libwib imher ututu ipsil,ipsil...
6:44 he said he doesn't REDO stuffs, so why the heck the album that the man was holding RE-released in 2006?
Well in terms of, I don't know, casual speech, English is relatively easy to learn, yeah. But to learn all the in-depth descriptive words and the similar, it's really quite difficult.
I mean, I speak English and Filipino. Filipino is FAIRLY easy to pick up and use it to its potential, but with English, there's always going to be a word you don't know, and some have really in-depth meanings or similar meanings, and you can also get tricked with words such as 'there', 'their' and 'they're'.
safe as fuck, thanks for posting :o)
The one thing, like he says, is 'how do you not get bored'? sure they're a freakin awesome band, good death metal, all around. But still what do you listen to to keep your attention through an entire concert if every song is low guitar playing repeated with growling and screaming lyrics, which is also difficult to understand.? please let me know so i can come to appreciate this band more...
i envy you sir.
Not really. It has more to do with the programs we watch on television rather than anything else in my opinion. They are mostly from North America. My mom e.g. has a more British feel to her English because she didn't grow up with American programs. And having been to America, one gets a feel for how it sounds (like I have; also my wife grew up in America). But our languages are quite different pronunciation wise. It's a big shift in the mouth to switch from one to the other. Just FYI. :-)
these are actually decent questions....
Even on the nothing re-release? cause it sounds MUCH better to me, the original release is crap though...
Wich song are they playing at 8:37?
This may be a lame question, but why does Marten have such a North American-sounding accent? Was he raised in NA for a little while before moving back to Umea?
WE NEED SUBTITLES!!!!!
No we don't. The interviewer doesn't say anything important in Finnish. I'm Finnish.
han har man drukit öl med:)
I WANT clips of that show pls contact me to get them!
0:29 meesh-huggah xD
because in sweden english is their second language,
and almost everyone knows it haha
can you imagine meshuggah and tool writing together on their tour bus? how sick would a collabortation be.
you mean sweden
Marten sounds Irish XD!
Whats that guys accent?!
haha thats like 25 times a day
beginners do plolyrhythms by accident, its basically play off beat. if you play with a manic kind of approach it can come out. but like the guy said if you think on it too much it becomes boring
Im Dave, how do you do?
Anyhoo, my point is (and I believe Martens is) that a Meshuggah riff requires no more planning and forethought than any bother riff from a more standard and generic metal band, infact he states as much, There rifs are unconventional, but no more difficult or time consuming to write, I could write meshuggah-worthy riffs in my sleep (well drunm beats at least, I'm a drummer). Like I said, it requires unconventional thinking, not planning and technical skills.
I dont agree with you Anglo, but whatever. Whatever they do is good,imo.
I love em but i don't buy the "polyrhythms just flow out of us naturally" thing..
eh This is going to be the end of the discussion I hope. He said " I dont care if its technical or not". Thats already a lie because if he doesn't really care there will be more simple things in their albums and that doesnt happened. Im a fan too and its ok to be a pretentious math-head guitar player theres nothing wrong with that. Just keep it real damn it.
Hi I'm Marten: You know , you know, you know , you know..
argghhh
written english is harder...
Most complicated in the world? I'd sooner say one of the easiest in the world! Try learning chinese, japanese or arabic dude, I can't imagen that enlgish is harder to learn than those languages, espacially/at least for people from europe/'the west'.
english is really harder to learn after you have already learned another language. if its your fisrt then its easy.
Try to learn Polish and tell us about your progress in it. The you'll take back what you've said, and you'll agree that polish is... Definitly harder then english :)
Your clearly not a naturally talented musician, Its not difficult to think outsdide the box and write stuff like Meshuggah. If your so inclined, it does come naturally.
Most of Meshuggahs work is actually quite simple, it sounds complicated because it uses unconventional musical devices, namely overlapping, yet by themselves simple time signatures.
I am a massive Meshuggah fan, and I recognise that the bands true genius is in its simplicity, not its complexity.
which song is being played at 2:39?
I know this comment is old as balls but its perpetual black second
