No question the most unreal intro to a show I've ever been to. I saw them in a tiny back room right after Obzen was released, but I finally got to see the full light show with all the atmosphere a few months ago in Bristol on this tour. This intro absolutely blew us all away. Totally dark room and then they're just there above you, pulsing and disappearing like evil ancient gods. Still gives me shivers
These guys always live up to their reputation. I only wish I knew other musicians that were interested in playing this level of advanced/abstract music. I first saw Meshuggah in 2002 when Nothing had just come out. I had to go to this little basement venue that was underneath a bar to see them because they really weren't known here in the USA at the time. Even before they had all the super tight special effects and high tech gear, they would always put on a flawless show and blow the other bands away.
Absolutely. When they toured with SYL, it felt like it could never get better back then. The first notes of Stengah, and bodies just flew. Fast-forward to now, and I absolutely love how they’ve paved their own road to a more elegant and polished live environment. It’s all I ever wanted for them, but better because I never thought it’d pan-out as it has. Legends.
@@eyemoeba prefer small venues anyways. Not only because you can find quite interesting music there. But becauze it is also a much more intimate experience between the band & audience. I recently saw Rhapsody of Fire when they came to Boston a month or so ago. The bass player, towards the end, got off the stage and joined us in the mosh. _Mid-song!_ He was bumping fists when he had sustained bass notes in the song! Coolest sh¡t i ever saw!
Dude. Make it happen. Just make sure it’s indoors and at night. Saw them my third time at an amphitheater before sundown and was robbed of the epic light show and anything under 100hz. But of course, they still crushed nuns.
I had the privilege of seeing this very intro and song at Brutal Assault 2023. The best thing I've ever seen a live band do and overall just an other worldly experience.
@@davecrupel2817 yeah it's possible but it's improbable that it would sound like this one because of how many variables there are. Let's just say we have a cog wheel with 10 teeth, anywhere from 1 to 10 could be missing. Any order of teeth missing is possible. The odds of it producing this exact rhythm is astronomically slim. I wasn't saying it was impossible, just improbable.
@@jeromesnail Nostrum would be a great opener! They already have top tier presentation but their shows would benefit so much from pick the 'right' opening track
cool as hell intro song starts at 03:57 this is truly on another level beyOnd another level! some of the greatest marrying of light and sound you will ever see.
@@Cestariarts I heard the veal is good. Haven't tried it myself though. So Metroid. It's a really cool video game series from Nintendo. You should try it. This song sounds to me like music that would be featured in a Metroid game. You do know about video games, right?
Occasionally I would like those slabs of light behind them to shine grey, with some red shining up from below and some steam like they are being frozen in carbonite...or like they are unfreezing....
This is beyond insane, the way we see nothing but silhouette till Jen’s starts screaming, then we finally see them
Best album and concert opener for sure
@@SterlingSimmons22 I always thought minds mirrors and in death is life was a great opener but they always play that in the middle.
And even then you only see silhouettes.
I'm not afraid of nightmares anymore. Thank you, Meshuggah.
You turned the nightmare into a lucid dream.
@@darkySp he was once a slave to his nightmares.
Now they are slaves to him! 💪

I know it's been said many times already, but their light show is just......... words can't really describe it.
LED screens behind the 4 in front and lots of Red LED lighting. The worst colour for video and photos.
@@1pixman Who the fuck gives a shit about videos and photos

this is a good place to meet them, and out of the way dingy clubs are where you find most of the interesting music. frequent.
That's fucking cool

This is the most dethklok shit. We are so blessed.
Jens Kidman's vocals becomes better and better year by year
aged like fine wine fr
I still can't figure out how they play their own music. I love Meshuggah
Absolutely intoxicating. I’ve followed Mesh since 97. To see this level now…beyond proud of them.
Been listening to them since 2008. Hopefully one day I'll be able to save enough money to see them live.

Can confirm, that's exactly how you feel when your cog is broken
true
Fun fact, the beat is the rythm that a broken cog would produce when spinning
@@MrBaverbo each broken cog would make a different rhythm. So not really. But that's certainly what it sounds like.
@@nikosucksatskating cog with randomnly broken teeth? It absolutely could.
Not all cogwheels have 5 or 6 teeth. There are those that have dozens.

Jesus what an intro.
Did they seriously lead into the song with a slowed down version of the stifled outro? That's amazing.
If only they would play Stifled. such a great track
@@flavortown5124 They've only ever done it live once😔
I really was expecting Nostrum after that intro.
@@jeromesnail Nostrum would be a great opener! They already have top tier presentation but their shows would benefit so much from pick the 'right' opening track
Those are some fucking awesome visuals.
7:00, i dont know what it is about this riff but it slaps harder than grandma when you dont finish a meal.
That transition from the slow steaming first half of the song to the "real" riff is so neat and always feels like a volcano erupting.
Whoever programmed their lights deserves at least 3 raises.
What an incredible performance by people essentially standing still.
I was riveted.
I love that Stifled Outro so much.. it worked perfectly like this
The perfect intro does exist!!
cool as hell intro song starts at 03:57
this is truly on another level beyOnd another level!
some of the greatest marrying of light and sound you will ever see.
Man, they are larger than life up there. Absolutely Colossal.
Best show opening I've ever witnessed
This looks like something from dethklok. I like it
THAT VOICE MAN!!!!! OMG!
He is a titan
Love how the bass playing so smoothly on throughout the song, they let him shine
Pretty awesome how you can tell where the song changes happen by just looking at the lights.
Yes, the light show is something different.
I like the way that jens is standing with the mic in his hand looks similar to the thing in the album art, the mic looks like the dagger.
Absolutely incredible
Man, their light engineer is absolutely awesome
Seeing them live Nov 27th this year in Edmonton bro I’m so stoked
Seeing and hearing them live is a whole different experience.
I can’t wait seeing them with in flames and whitechapel
@@lebassdesign4850 it was just an incredible experience
@@aaronwerner3431I’m seeing them in Calgary on 28th. Saw them in Vancouver on the Nothing tour. Was epic. Can’t wait again.
Still the most innovative band in the genre. s t i l l .
The creators of the genre too!
@@nikosucksatskating I guess I was thinking of the entire Metal genere.
@@mikeygarcia8597 ah, yes. Then you'd definitely be right.
Nah, Polyphia holds that title now.
@@FalseGiggle fucking polyphia, of all bands
This Intro is Awesome!
Seeing everyone's phones recording is REALLY satisfying
the disturbing part is how many tools have their phones out
Jens . . . .
The T-800 Terminator awakens from his forge.
still love your work!!
holy shit bro this lights are epic
Fucking amazing!
Fuck, I love that lighting work.
No doubt the best way to start a concert
I’m not even there and I have goosebumps. I have got to see these guys at some point
Starts here @4:00 👍🏽👍🏽
Jens' screaming sounded insanely good
The conclusion to this track is hard as hell
ME
THE
BROKEN COG
lighting dude did it again
so fucking cool. as if the music wasn't enough, the stage was made to fit the song perfectly. Yummmm
Love Meshuggah.
This song sounds like music from an as yet unreleased Metroid game.
Metroid? Jesus...
@@Cestariarts No, just Metroid.
@@returntozero2112 you're so funny. Do you do stand up comedy? Tell me where your show is, so I can stay away from it
@@Cestariarts I heard the veal is good. Haven't tried it myself though. So Metroid. It's a really cool video game series from Nintendo. You should try it. This song sounds to me like music that would be featured in a Metroid game. You do know about video games, right?
Cool show, wish i liked their music
Sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Just noticed all the phone screens lighting up too cause everyone's recording. Looks like the phones are a part of the light show from this angle.
This just gives me the need to puch someone in the face when that snare shows up in the song.
No words
visuals perfect from this distance. up close it doesn't look as amazing.
So dammm sick 😢 I’m said I didn’t go to the one in MASS
Dude…….NONE BETTER
Occasionally I would like those slabs of light behind them to shine grey, with some red shining up from below and some steam like they are being frozen in carbonite...or like they are unfreezing....
Wow
7:10 and on Holy Fuck
this is the rapture.....fuck yea
Minor mistake at 9:09 hahaha. But I think it is hard to see under those lights hahaha
Well, there’s proof they’re not machines.
There is no such thing as a Meshuggah mistake. It’s simply called an accent.
@@snail415 hahaha very well defined
qui c'è da imparare e basta
Sounds spoiled if you put it like this, but I never fully appreciated this song until they played it in front of me.
Low energy crowd. Cameras smh.
