meshuggah has the ability to either make me energetic as hell, or fall asleep. it’s really interesting actually, i think it’s because while it is incredibly heavy, the rhythms are really mesmerizing and almost trance inducing. pretty cool stuff

Seeing a lot of comments saying that the song sounds better faster but to me the best part of this song is the slow, heavy beat. It's like a fucking mammoth just wreaking havoc, stomping around too big too escape.
I think those comments are adressing the fact that they play their older songs slower ever since playing to a click, slower than older live versions anyway.

@Alex Amaya I might have to disagree with you. There is actually TONS of things wrong with pop music. First of all, literally EVERY FOKEN POP SONG IS OVERPLAYED AF. Then, the songs themselves are usually terrible, boring and repetitive. Don't get me wrong, i like some pop songs, but most of them are really bad and the artists are selfish jerks who don't care about their fans and life is way too easy for them.
It's not just 'heaviest', this is one of the most evil songs I've ever heard. Metal is often too over-the-top to capture the menace and terror of real evil, but Meshuggah (especially their most recent output) captures it so well.
What's so crazy about that? I have always thought of Meshuggah as a jazz combo with a broken PA. They also make you realize how little metal bands there are that openly embrace free tonality / atonality.

I'm not going to lie, this makes my adrenaline pump more when I have anxiety. Difference is that I can push forward with that form of adrenaline instead of feeling crippled by it.
It will seem strange, but the music of Meshuggah puts me in a state of... meditation. It is so correct, so measured, as if they are playing not on musical instruments, but on my soul.

That ending riff is literally the heaviest thing I've ever heard. Listening to that with some really good in ear headphones, really loud, feels like my head is going to implode. Its heavier than a fucking neutron star!!!
+Evan Blake honestly, most times i dont listen to the vocals. I dont give a fuck. i just listen to the instruments, the groove, the music is the thing which catches me, not the story around.
There’s something trance-like about that continuous riff throughout the song and the marriage it has with the drumming. I could just have that riff and drums playing in the background my entire day and I’d be happy.
I’m a 54 yo grandma that exposed my sons to heavy metal at a very young age. Recently, visiting my now grown son and his fam, and after kids in bed upstairs, he’s like “mom, listen to this…and they are from DFW Texas! (Where we are from). 2 minutes in and both sitting on couch headbanging! What a great mother/son bonding (but we’ve always listen to metal and share music). Vocals here are a little much for me, but dayum those riffs are fucking badass!! 🤘 I look out of place 😂 and strangers are shocked at what I listen to at my age 😂 my sons’ friends are like “hold up! Your mom listens to this stuff?”…hey there isn’t anything wrong being my age and headbanging! I really wished he would have gotten a reaction video of we played this song for me then 😆
Usually, when waking up at 5:50 or earlier, some people might have a coffee, breakfast and chill-out day. But sunrise with Demiurge in headphones means a very good day to me....
This may sound cliché, but go see these guys live. It has been 3 years since I saw them live playing this as the last song of the set and I'm still blown away at what they can make you feel. It's been said over and over, but the wall of sound that hits you is real, you don't listen with your ears but with your chest, it's the best I can describe it, it is f-ing unbelievable. I may attend better or worse concerts in my life, but Meshuggah will always be on a category of its own. OMFG.
Yeah, Meshuggah should be experienced live at least once:) Sounds so much heavier live, hah.. Seen them a few times over the years and been top tier everytime.
Seeing Jens Kidman in a fucking Zeppelin shirt... It feels good to see the evolution of genres over the last fifty years or so, spawning stuff so diverse and so iconic that a band like Led Zep can say they inspired a band like Meshuggah. Weird, but really cool to me.
Everyone complaining about the repetitiveness of the song, to me it's what makes that song so fucking awesome ! If the songs lacks riffs, it gains heaviness ! It should be the anthem of the swallowing of this fucking world by a black hole
This batshit mentality that a song is "heavy" because it lacks any sort of talent or riffs is completely retarded, i'm sorry. Listen to Dark Are The Veils Of Death by Candlemass, which has one of the heaviest riffs ever put together, and tell me it's not as heavy as this. And keep in mind that it was made in the 80's.
Akhamesh I'm sorry, "Dark are the veils of death" is just not heavy enough. Omega Massif's "Aura" has a very discernable riff, however, it doesn't have a vocalist to ruin it's heaviness. And it was recorded in something that wasn't a garage. It metaphorically takes color away from your perception of the world and makes it hard for you to breathe.

Demiurge comes from the greek word "demiurgos (greek: δημιουργός)" which means "the creator". In Plato's book "Timeus", which has to do with the creation of the world, demiurge is the technician, as well as the creator who designs by his kindness the universe, the motion of the stars and planets and the rest of life. He managed to gather the unorganized and rude materials and then to create the best possible world for everyone, which would look alike demiurge's kindness and form. Enjoy!.
@@sabrinakrisb4672 it's truly accurate description of demiurge, according to Plato's Timeus. Maybe you know another interpretation of demiurge. I'm letting you know that demiurge is a greek word, and also I told the story about demiurge of Plato's in order to give a story about Plato's perspective and link it with Meshuggah's relative song. Maybe we're talking about a different perspective, and that's why you refuse that perspective... What perspective you're talking about that makes you disagree with mine?...
@@sabrinakrisb4672 I meant that someone can interpret the lyrics their own way.I interpreted it using the idea of the Gnostic Demiurge while Marinos interpreted using the idea of the Platonic Demiurge and someone who doesn't know what a demiurge is will understand the song differently
I had never heard of them before and showed up to day 2 at a festival massively hung over. They kicked off with Demiurge and my buddy spilled beer all over us from the concussive shock when they began. That was many years ago, I think Koloss had just been released. Been a Mehugghah-enthusiast ever since. :)

Gonna be honest. Never heard of this band until I watched a Bill Burr interview. AND DAMN WAS HE RIGHT! THIS BAND IS FUCKING AMAZING! The drums and guitar and the heavy growl make me head bang so fucking hard. MESHUGGAH!!!
@@filippians413 this is kinda basic. I'll try to explain this the best I can, but it's 3 in the morning and I'm tired af. The more dense an item, the heavy the item is. So let's say 1^2in of diamond is more dense (stronger) than 1^2in of lead, the diamond will weigh more. I'll look into this to see if I'm wrong or right, this is just what I think/thought was right
It feels so good to see Fredrik wearing a Great Indian Rock T shirt, the only Rock/Metal festival in India that was badass (and existing) at that time.
One my favourite Meshuggah tracks, so surreal, trancey, energetic, happy and calming, all at the same time. At one concert, it sent me into a happy berserker state, tears streaming down my face. People nearby looked worried, so my face must have looked weird but I was just too full of trancey fierce happiness to contain it.
I dont think it's pssible to get sick of 2:26. It was absolutely the highlight (for me) of the whole gig, the last time I saw them. With the added mega-experience bonus that their lights person is likely one of their most devoted fans and perfectly times every single part and transition in all its polymetric detail.
nonsense. no one does that. you look at the phone to point the camera in the right direction and then you hold it there and look away, it's not rocket science lol. i've seen toddlers nail this concept down. besides, if you can see the screens from the stage, the people holding them up obviously aren't looking at it rofl
plenty. you seem like a stranger to it though. believe it or not, operating a camera phone works exactly the same when you're at a show as it does anywhere else on the planet, still can't see the screen if it's pointed away from you rofl. _back of the phone gets in the way, it's weird._
just recently found meshuggah and holy shit they are so fucking good. like just pure concentrated beautiful metal. Ugh i cant explain with words, they are geniuses.
Listening to metal for more than 20 years. Ashamed to admit I've just now bothered my ass to listen to these guys. Known the name for a long time. No excuses. This is the most crushing music I've ever heard.
I love how around 4:16 it shows the whole band trying to keep from being ripped apart by the heaviness and then shows tomas back there just chill as hell. He is one with the groove
@@pancadeusus9227 I won't deny it. I always had a feeling that this song is about black hole, and you can observe similarity in the color spectrum used in this song and the color of the black hole we saw in the footage (they are quite different, but there are similarities)
I found this song a few months back and this is by far my favorite song of any band, I keep playing this all the time especially whenever I need to relieve stress.
4:18 cracks me up everytime as he clenches his teeth trying to hold his body together otherwise the heavy groove would rip him to pieces

"honey it's our anniversary, let's put on Demiurge for old times sake" - Meshuggah fans in 2040.
There’s something trance-like about that continuous riff throughout the song and the marriage it has with the drumming. I could just have that riff and drums playing in the background my entire day and I’d be happy.
That riff at 2:27 is fucking sick! One of my favorite breakdown riffs ever!
I’m a 54 yo grandma that exposed my sons to heavy metal at a very young age. Recently, visiting my now grown son and his fam, and after kids in bed upstairs, he’s like “mom, listen to this…and they are from DFW Texas! (Where we are from). 2 minutes in and both sitting on couch headbanging! What a great mother/son bonding (but we’ve always listen to metal and share music). Vocals here are a little much for me, but dayum those riffs are fucking badass!! 🤘 I look out of place 😂 and strangers are shocked at what I listen to at my age 😂 my sons’ friends are like “hold up! Your mom listens to this stuff?”…hey there isn’t anything wrong being my age and headbanging! I really wished he would have gotten a reaction video of we played this song for me then 😆
I'm listening to this at 61 and regret I didn't find it sooner!
Usually, when waking up at 5:50 or earlier, some people might have a coffee, breakfast and chill-out day. But sunrise with Demiurge in headphones means a very good day to me....
2:26 **Breaks everything in room**
in slow motion like a giant berserking sloth.
Lmao with this comment...
🤣🤣
@@ivenssiqueira What the hell is even that? Lmfao
I AM WILLIAM WALLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly, I do my homework online listening to this stuff. It helps me relax.
Takes the test stress away
Shit like this is on my playlist for when I'm writing, it makes me focus
Hey its been a year I hope I reminded ya this song have a nice day!
Me too
Good for you.
Absolutely, without doubt, the most badass band to have EVER formed.
And they started the djent phenomenon in the metal world which is pretty lit in its own right. Most of what I listen to is considered djent
There's so much emotion in the vocals, he really went all out on this track. Respect
Perfect song to play Solitaire to
never try minesweeper!
Perfect music for next nike ad,just do it
Its great for dumping bodies in a swamp at 3 am
If by "Solitaire" you mean "Masturbate tearfully to gory pics of your dead ex-wife"... dammit, ya beat me to it by 3 months!!
It`s great to solve really complex mathematics.
Was listening to Doom Eternal's soundtrack and it reminded me of this song. Would be cool if they slipped a Meshuggah song in Doom.
Mick knows some guys of the band personally so it's fair to say he got inspired, that's good enough for me
The guitarist is the guest musician on Mick Wolfenstein OST.
Meshuggah doing doom music since 1987
@@kusumsharma979 Pantera did it first in terms of "writing for doom"
Fredrik did a song for Wolfenstein called Herr Faust its the part where you take control of the nazi robot in new order.
This may sound cliché, but go see these guys live. It has been 3 years since I saw them live playing this as the last song of the set and I'm still blown away at what they can make you feel. It's been said over and over, but the wall of sound that hits you is real, you don't listen with your ears but with your chest, it's the best I can describe it, it is f-ing unbelievable. I may attend better or worse concerts in my life, but Meshuggah will always be on a category of its own. OMFG.
Best concert I've ever been to! I will never miss another one when they come close by!
Yeah, Meshuggah should be experienced live at least once:) Sounds so much heavier live, hah.. Seen them a few times over the years and been top tier everytime.
Seeing Jens Kidman in a fucking Zeppelin shirt... It feels good to see the evolution of genres over the last fifty years or so, spawning stuff so diverse and so iconic that a band like Led Zep can say they inspired a band like Meshuggah. Weird, but really cool to me.
I'm more amazed to see Lovgren wearing a Willie Nelson shirt :P
Who is Jens Kidman?
Stairway to Valhalla
If they play any lower or down tuned notes, they might open a black hole!
He has an 8-string. It's not down-tuned that much.
+Shining Armor there's always "that cunt" isn't there?
+molochz a RUclips music guru, yeah. That's why I called him that.
+Lyrical Jones can we all just enjoy the music instead of bitching like bunch of lil cunts?
That open F note btw...right in the feels ❤️
+Daniel Saldanha
i believe, they did already \m/
Everyone complaining about the repetitiveness of the song, to me it's what makes that song so fucking awesome !
If the songs lacks riffs, it gains heaviness !
It should be the anthem of the swallowing of this fucking world by a black hole
agreed...this is trance magic from beyond the veil of reality
This batshit mentality that a song is "heavy" because it lacks any sort of talent or riffs is completely retarded, i'm sorry.
Listen to Dark Are The Veils Of Death by Candlemass, which has one of the heaviest riffs ever put together, and tell me it's not as heavy as this. And keep in mind that it was made in the 80's.
Akhamesh I'm sorry, "Dark are the veils of death" is just not heavy enough. Omega Massif's "Aura" has a very discernable riff, however, it doesn't have a vocalist to ruin it's heaviness. And it was recorded in something that wasn't a garage. It metaphorically takes color away from your perception of the world and makes it hard for you to breathe.
Akhamesh
You didn't get my point...
Whatever...
if this kid want something more talented go to dragonforce or iron maiden...meshuggah is awesome!
Writhing and embraced
Retribution, soul eclipse turns solid
Energized
Sucking vomit, acting like its honey
Deprived of I
Falling while thrusting squares through circles
Serving one single new dimension
Terror rising
Agnostics' nemesis
A prophet of extinction
I scorch the skies before your very eyes
My deliverance
Enslavement labelled love
Just trust this, nemesis, to sign and seal extinction
If this was the only remnant of humanity, I think outer terrestrials would know that we didn’t play around.
They would think twice before attacking us for sure
Some sort of sacrilegious ritual. The act of sucking vomit like honey, forcing squares through circles, is a trivial thing.
I personally find this music WAAAAY cooler than Bleed.
This song is better for sure but bleed is famous because of tomas haake dude never skips leg day
Me too!!!!
bleed is way overrated, literally all of nothing and catch thirty three is better
@@foomfs there are like 4 other tracks on ObZen that I like more than bleed tbh. Combustion is perfection
fair, combustion is great
Demiurge comes from the greek word "demiurgos (greek: δημιουργός)" which means "the creator". In Plato's book "Timeus", which has to do with the creation of the world, demiurge is the technician, as well as the creator who designs by his kindness the universe, the motion of the stars and planets and the rest of life. He managed to gather the unorganized and rude materials and then to create the best possible world for everyone, which would look alike demiurge's kindness and form. Enjoy!.
I think they are talking about Yaldabaoth,the gnostic demiurge who created the world as a prison for the souls.
@@sabrinakrisb4672 it's truly accurate description of demiurge, according to Plato's Timeus. Maybe you know another interpretation of demiurge. I'm letting you know that demiurge is a greek word, and also I told the story about demiurge of Plato's in order to give a story about Plato's perspective and link it with Meshuggah's relative song. Maybe we're talking about a different perspective, and that's why you refuse that perspective... What perspective you're talking about that makes you disagree with mine?...
@@spawnofchaos9422 probably. I haven't heard of this story. You did good telling me there's this one.
@@sabrinakrisb4672 Well the meaning behind the lyrics is complicated so you can't blame him for understanding from another point of view
@@sabrinakrisb4672 I meant that someone can interpret the lyrics their own way.I interpreted it using the idea of the Gnostic Demiurge while Marinos interpreted using the idea of the Platonic Demiurge and someone who doesn't know what a demiurge is will understand the song differently
Hearing this song live was a spiritual experience
I had never heard of them before and showed up to day 2 at a festival massively hung over. They kicked off with Demiurge and my buddy spilled beer all over us from the concussive shock when they began. That was many years ago, I think Koloss had just been released. Been a Mehugghah-enthusiast ever since. :)
I flew to Gothenburg from London to see them this year, felt like a religious pilgrimage 😂
I Saw them not too long ago. The man that stepped out of the building was not the same that stepped in.

Whenever you’re feeling down, crank this and be free
Reason why I'm here now
3:35 my favourite sound that exists
When the hair on the back of your neck rises
Tom Fowkes ⚡️⚡️🔥🤟🏻🔥🤟🏻🔥⚡️⚡️
@@starikashka577 I legit read your comment as that happened to me wtf
Dude, 4:00 from New Millennium Cyanide Christ is how I wish I could scream at some people.
I never knew this song existed before today. Wow, what a masterpiece!
Glad to have you here. You’re now one of us.
*One of us ! One of us !*
Same here. I'm glad I'm here now.
Gonna be honest. Never heard of this band until I watched a Bill Burr interview. AND DAMN WAS HE RIGHT! THIS BAND IS FUCKING AMAZING! The drums and guitar and the heavy growl make me head bang so fucking hard. MESHUGGAH!!!
I heard that interview as well!
BR-D-BR-D-BR-D-BR
Just another masterpiece by the masters. Heavy as lead, hard as diamond.
Diamond weighs more than lead
@@filippians413 this is kinda basic. I'll try to explain this the best I can, but it's 3 in the morning and I'm tired af. The more dense an item, the heavy the item is. So let's say 1^2in of diamond is more dense (stronger) than 1^2in of lead, the diamond will weigh more.
I'll look into this to see if I'm wrong or right, this is just what I think/thought was right
@@filippians413 you right, you did your research. Thanks, I've learned from this. Have a good day
@@filippians413 Meshuggah is heavier than Osmium ;)
Harder than dimaond Meshuggah is made of Grantite
When this is your standard of a good band you will constantly be disappointed with everyone else.
3:34 one of the greatest sections in metal history . Almost daily listen.
It feels so good to see Fredrik wearing a Great Indian Rock T shirt, the only Rock/Metal festival in India that was badass (and existing) at that time.
Me : a wholesome mom with an apron, doing the dishes & cooking dinner
My headphones :
The first time i've ever heard Meshuggah, my only reaction
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW DUDE..."
Mine was "W00-00000-00-0000-0-00"
+Thall Thall This comment. ^^😂👏
Mr. JG mine was Daaamnnnn, where was I when this happened???
Mr. John WOOOOOOOOW DUDE 0.O
That was my react too
One my favourite Meshuggah tracks, so surreal, trancey, energetic, happy and calming, all at the same time. At one concert, it sent me into a happy berserker state, tears streaming down my face. People nearby looked worried, so my face must have looked weird but I was just too full of trancey fierce happiness to contain it.
I dont think it's pssible to get sick of 2:26.
It was absolutely the highlight (for me) of the whole gig, the last time I saw them.
With the added mega-experience bonus that their lights person is likely one of their most devoted fans and perfectly times every single part and transition in all its polymetric detail.
I do my dishes to this.
Not many left to dry and put away then?
I thought I was the only one
now you don't have dishes
Im so glad im not alone 🤗
I do maths homework to this
The best thing about this video, when it turns to the crowd, you don't see a blinding wall of phone screens.
BearCat Stare cuz the suck
TeddyGNOP that's different from not being mentally present and watching the entire thing through a screen though x
nonsense. no one does that. you look at the phone to point the camera in the right direction and then you hold it there and look away, it's not rocket science lol. i've seen toddlers nail this concept down.
besides, if you can see the screens from the stage, the people holding them up obviously aren't looking at it rofl
TeddyGNOP how many gigs have you been to? Lol x
plenty. you seem like a stranger to it though. believe it or not, operating a camera phone works exactly the same when you're at a show as it does anywhere else on the planet, still can't see the screen if it's pointed away from you rofl.
_back of the phone gets in the way, it's weird._
BRO THE INTRO ‼‼ that's why i love groove metal
Try listening to Metallica after this. It sounds like pop.
Metallica sounds even better after listening to djent shit.
imagine thinking meshuggah is shit LOL
i'm sorry djentlemen.
Try Amon Amarth later, you guys will like some melodic death metal.
but i actually liked this song, even tho i kinda hate obzen and clockworks.
After master of puppets they always sounded like pop
4:18 I love the strained expression on his face like it's taking all the effort he can muster to just hang on to that guitar
3:35 is sickest drop I've ever heard.. can't stop replaying it.
Jens Kidman ❤❤❤❤
This song is so amazing. I'm going to have a professional fight soon and I'm coming out to this.
Best of luck homie!
Where the hell have I been. This f*cking rules.
Dude, I was late to the Meshuggah party as well
You were in Gaytown, my friend. Welcome back.
Welcome to the chaosphere :)

Nicholas McNeal the face you make when you destroy the world with a nasty riff
Lmaoooo underrated comment
When there's no drugs or coffee .... There's Meshuggah
just recently found meshuggah and holy shit they are so fucking good. like just pure concentrated beautiful metal. Ugh i cant explain with words, they are geniuses.
that's exactly how I felt a couple days ago when I just found out about them like where have they been all my life haha
me too my bro just told me about these this song is fuckin awesome....sorry for thw language
Check out rational gaze if you haven't already it's a good jam
+rowan box Do you know the band DEATH?
+Walamonga 1313 kinda, I've not listened to them to much
Listening to metal for more than 20 years. Ashamed to admit I've just now bothered my ass to listen to these guys. Known the name for a long time. No excuses. This is the most crushing music I've ever heard.
One of the only bands so heavy they require a mouth guard to listen to. I'm always worried about shattering teeth because I'm scowling so hard.
I love how around 4:16 it shows the whole band trying to keep from being ripped apart by the heaviness and then shows tomas back there just chill as hell. He is one with the groove
"enslavement labeled love" i love how meshuggah writes very little lyrics compared to some bands but they always have such deep meaning
Meshuggha is the real reason that recent black hole photo was taken.
i don't get it?
@@dinoman6123 There music opened the black hole🤣
@@pancadeusus9227 I won't deny it. I always had a feeling that this song is about black hole, and you can observe similarity in the color spectrum used in this song and the color of the black hole we saw in the footage (they are quite different, but there are similarities)
@@Krimson5pride Sounds right.
Pretty sure Meshuggah opens gates that we're not ready to open. Like the Event horizon.
voldermort in his free time
It is the other way around. Jens play Voldemort in his free time
Screw Rihanna...we need a Meshuggah Superbowl halftime show.
I remember when they performed this live at the Oscars, one of the best performances of all time!
Idk if your joking or not but if you aren’t, that video was faked
One of the sickest songs I've ever heard!
I found this song a few months back and this is by far my favorite song of any band, I keep playing this all the time especially whenever I need to relieve stress.
One of the nastiest breakdowns I've ever heard my life
