[ZevMAyLEAF]

Meshuggah is one band that doesn't cater to the masses.

[Cluttzzz]

i like how kids argue over music but probably listen to Suicide Silence and Asking Alexandria and call it metal. sit down children and listen to the good shit

[gaborik9494]

time to meditate

[egill4a]

Where's the replay button?

[Nepoot]

@egill4a its gone. i used it so much it broke

[PlanningMyDeath]

Admit it. We've all ripped off Meshuggah.

[yokiddingme]

@PlanningMyDeath hevy devy certainly knows this.

[WiShgranD]

axe cutting your brain fucking shit fuck yeah

[XXXtriplethefun]

@kevizzle10 lol i was jsut bored so i thought id do that, gotta keep entertained XD

[Thanos700]

haha i'm terrible at math...but this song kicks ass

[BasicBurnKiller]

@3:06 ready for Djentbanging

[ono24]

Does anyone have insight into what these lyrics might signify? Opinions, reactions, etc?

[jed52]

@ono24 I think they refer to modern society and how depraved human beings have become. We've been desensitized to the point that we enjoy pain and suffering, watching it and experiencing it. Our lack of understanding that we live in this obscene world of suffering is, in fact Zen. Thus you have ObZen.

[Xniffer69]

its called progressive deathmetal

[XXXtriplethefun]

@minastireth @drummerbadass1 please go listen to your easy to comprehend/digest poser "metal" and leave better music to the people who are above you i.e. us..... and drummerbadass1 if your a badass drummer, try to do meshuggah's polyrythms and patters, youd fail.... let me spell this out in easy to understand language of douchebags such as you... U R CUNTS

[drummerbadass1]

@XXXtriplethefun Fuck off . I don't take the advice of non player deluxe models such as you. If you can't play good fusion go slit your throat. Quit posing in front of REAL musicians... That includes all scumbag meth hags in meshuggah too.. Do as you are told less than wannabe..

[pwnmaster9]

@drummerbadass1 Im a jazz musician goin to humber college 2nd year..I think mashuggah has some pretty badass melodic displacement and insane odd time signatures

[drummerbadass1]

@pwnmaster9 Touche!! They indeed do. Now you know what course not to head your musical vessel to as this direction although avant garde just sounds like trash...

[pwnmaster9]

@drummerbadass1 No I wouldn't play this music. But, it still has those moments where I'm just fixed on trying to figure out what they're rhythmically doing. We we're talking about polly rhythms & odd time sigs one day in theory, and the prof showed us a meshuggah song in like 21/8. It was pretty crazy

[dumdumdugan500]

@drummerbadass1 Nice trolling, bro.

[minastireth]

@XXXtriplethefun why do you think youre above me because you listen to meshuggah? i listen to plenty of music to not have to think that im above someone by listening to these guys. you need to read your message back to yourself and see how much of an arsehole you look and sound. I listen to bands such as Born of Osiris, Uneven Structure and Sikth so im not exactly listening to "poser" metal. i agree with @drummerbadass1 that youre talking without any prior knowledge.

[kevizzle10]

@XXXtriplethefun Woah, hipster alert!

[joelcarignan]

meshuggah is probably the best thing that happened to music

[yokiddingme]

@joelcarignan not probably, they are.

This band sucks donkey dick with flys all on it..

[SvitjodsWarrior]

@drummerbadass1  Stop talking about your own sexuall fetishes, No one here cares that you're into donkeys you fucking tard.

[drummerbadass1]

@SvitjodsWarrior This is really a band? Cause it isn't music.. Tell the singer he vaporlocked on that donkeys chode and if you were a true fan you would give him the Heimlich maneuvre

[SvitjodsWarrior]

@drummerbadass1 Try play their songs, i fucking dare you.. Do Bleed or Future breed machine.

You'll fail like the deaf cunt you are.

[drummerbadass1]

@SvitjodsWarrior You dare ask drummerbadass to bore himself with Meshitta tunage???hahahahahahahahahahah What I will do each and everytime I play and record is smoke this overated shit sytle Hacke thoough. You have my word on it chump..hahahahahaha

[SvitjodsWarrior]

@drummerbadass1 Your just dumb as hell aren't? Looking at your channel your bashing every band out there.

Say one band you like you fucking hater.

[drummerbadass1]

@SvitjodsWarrior What does it matter what bands I like?? Just tell meth hag Meshuggah.. Is it all of them or just one or two to get off the meth before I beat their ass..Meth heads are scumbags , liars and thieves..

[SvitjodsWarrior]

@drummerbadass1 You don't dare saying what faggot bands you listen too do you? Becuse you know you'd get laughed at, Obvius really..

Hater will hate, And haters are nothing but Uncreative boring wastes of human lives..

Go and commit suicide please.

[MrBillaross]

@drummerbadass1 everyone is getting mad at you so fuck you bitch

[drummerbadass1]

@MrBillaross You are defending methheads? You are mental then..??? I will pray for you to be well in the head..

[MrBillaross]

@drummerbadass1 REALLY!? well i guess i fucked up then haha sorry just following the group :o

[minastireth]

@drummerbadass1 the exact word i'd use for this band. "Overrated". Its boring. i almost forgot i was listening to this song

[SvitjodsWarrior]

@minastireth Your comment is overrated, Don't like it? Go listen too something else homo.

[drummerbadass1]

@SvitjodsWarrior I told you to tell Meshuggah to quit posing in front of real musicians and to get off speed before I kick their ass.

[kevizzle10]

@minastireth It is boring if you aren't listening to it. If your purpose to playing this song is to pay attention to it then meshuggah is a very fun band to listen to. It is fun to challenge your self by moving your feet up and down trying to follow the song.

[sam261007]

haha, I was just given the option to skip the Maybelline skin foundation ad to watch this, yeah

[Latem2A]

im a metalhead.. i type on youtube "meshuggah" i hear 2 songs.. -> Meshuggah have a new fan

[czoraa21]

BLEED YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!! BLEED GOD DAMIT!!! I WILL RAPE YOUR DAUGHTERS AND DRINK YOUR BLOOD!!! WATCH AS I CUT YOU AND WATCH THE BLOOD FLOW!!!!!

[MutilationOfTheWeak]

@czoraa21 Was that at all neccessary?

[czoraa21]

@MutilationOfTheWeak im expressing on how this song makes me feel sir......

[17kostaae]

@czoraa21 goddamn mexicans

[czoraa21]

@17kostaae meshugga should make a song called "mexican border decapatation machine"

[kevinmm20]

Why is it that a lot of the meshuggah uploads on youtube are low quality?

[xDisgorgementx]

@kevinmm20 cause these are old songs. no one has uploaded new 720 or 1080p versions. this album is 5 years old.

[SuperWoocash]

2:41 - 3:06 best bit on obzen

[WilliamEdmiston]

Not sure which is heavier, this or Bleed.

[cdmolenaar]

@WilliamEdmiston I'd say this song does, but they both kick ass.

this would be the perfect boss battle music

[rololoo]

@haributo

Fuck yes

[MrJiilo]

best song

[MichaelsMusicSpace]

Djent is not a genre... its a movement within metal music. Djent is an onomatopoeia that has to do with the picking style that creates the sound "djent"

[agonialodi]

best parts at 1:34 and 3:07... no, excuse... all the song.... nonononono, sorry.... ALL THE FUCKING ALBUM!!!!!

[Splintervention]

Well lots of bands are starting to call themselves "Djent" now, so unless they're calling themselves "picking styles" then it's probably turning into a genre or something of the sorts...

[MudIdol]

Bleh I've tried multiple times to get into this band. Can't do it. This just kinda comes across as irritating noise.

[MudIdol]

@takinapiss haha i definitely voted that up :3

[coryjt420]

@takinapiss LMFAO

[lorenyork]

The next person to say 'djent' is getting pistol-whipped.

The aforementioned style has no rhythm. Nor does it have any timing. Thus, it is not musical at all.

I could be wrong, but I am listening to music right now.

Djent fans: Please go kill yourselves if you think this is djent.

Djent is as relevant to Meshuggah as the following link is to pancakes.

[guitarszzz]

The best thing you can do is laugh when you realize meshuggah's genius.

[thefallingdream]

@guitarszzz hahahaha, seriously man

[ZombieNinja13]

BLASTOIDS!

[asafkomemy]

israel show was great

[vukstanovcic]

i wonder why don't they perform this song live, it's fucking brutal

[Destructerator]

@vukstanovcic They don't? That riff is so good...

[00banky00]

Young impressionable people will shortly be rising to the positions in our societies necessary to make declarations about the things they see in the world. Once in these positions, they will make judgements, which will be shared, modified,agreed upon (mostly) between each other (other being defined as another person who, given the same general timeframe of birth and the same general cultural stimuli, provided by us, their parents/makers/guardians).

[00banky00]

A catalog of these types of judgments would include what would be perceived to be separate disciplines such as fashions, decorations, and musics, including their many, many apparently distinct categories.

[00banky00]

However many of you and I will claim djent is not a genre, there will be rising mostly two groups of opinions. One group saying, "it is djent!", and another, "It isn't djent!" Eventually, it will be considered by most if not all, djent.

[VicariousSoul88]

3:06 Makes my brain turn upside down in the most amazing way possible.

[EternallyFalse]

its called progressive deathmetal

[NOodleFISH72]

@EternallyFalse It's called Meshuggah.

[TheMarkyy]

that intro is fucking amazing.

[NicolayKjarnet]

Call it djent and stop arguing about it. Meshuggah invented the fucking genre, point blank period.

[lifeleech]

Please stop with the Christmas related comments. Thank you. :)

[TigerBloodElite]

stare at meshuggah and obzen on the screen =D

[ChainsawVsGod]

Me and my family will be standing around the piano, singing along to this song this Christmas.

[bioarnie867killer]

@ChainsawVsGod Cause N*ggas don't fuck with me! sorry scary movie 2 moment ;)

[slim0221]

Meshuggah you need to release a new album! I've been waiting almost 4 yrs!

[prakis57]

YOU FUCKS, DJENT IS NOT A GENRE, its a picking style... sheesh.. stop talking like you know

[Luisdietsch]

@prakis57 Tell that to wikipedia.

[TheDrummingClown]

@prakis57 Djent is a tone. And regardless to what anyone says, meshuggah can't be classified as one genre. Just enjoy it

[thegrouchboy]

@TheDrummingClown Djent started with being a tone but is now used as a genre. Punk started with being another word for an idiot but is a genre too now... But Meshuggah is just what inspired Djent...

[StaggnGuvnor]

@TheDrummingClown it can- metal :L

[4WOF]

@prakis57 Hence the phrase DJENT DJENT DJENT.

[HesterProgressive]

@prakis57 Uhm, Djent IS a genre, characterized by tonality, computer alteration of guitar parts, and most of it is progressive. Stop talking like you know.

[0DaveC]

@HesterProgressive Usually I don't get involved in petty youtube arguments but just how are the guitars 'computer-altered'? And don't try to back out of this by saying "OH I MEANT AXE FXs AND VETTA HEADS! PROCESSORS!"

[xxxPinkyGSterxxx]

@prakis57 Go to Got-Djent . com and say that...

[LeapingDodo]

@prakis57 yeah, but the picking style made a genre, it is not a official one. But this is enough to say it is a diffrent kind of metal therefore making a new genre.

Not implying i beleive this is a genre, just providing a counter arguement here.

Altough when i play something like this i say i am playing djent for comfort's sake.

[MoonlapseOpethian]

@LeapingDodo Agreed. I don't really consider a different style of riffing, or tone, or things like that a new genre, though I can kinda see how people would think otherwise.

But yeah, if I played that style of riffing, I would say "djent riff" or whatever.

[Kikki118]

@MoonlapseOpethian Well..different riffing is ofthen the essence of a genre. power metal has repid medlodic, black metal has unaccurate tremlo, death has pounding, accurate riffs.

I can see djent as a genre, but i hate that its called djent.

[MrPeaceloveandgreen]

@prakis57 LET IT HAPPEN.

[ShemyDjent]

@prakis57 dude. its a band style. the double-bass drum follows the guitar/bass line. thus the coin of the term, "djent". how 'bout YOU stop talking like you know.

[zomfgiquit]

@ShemyDjent You're wrong. Djent is a picking style. It has nothing to do with drums following anything.

[Zardi82]

@ShemyDjent haha lol

[medicmanosu]

@prakis57 hahaha it's funny because you care so much.  Just listen to the music asshole.

[mmmyeahgurligotswag]

meshuggah was playing djent before they knew they were

[emanresua]

This song really gets my bowels moving, makes me wanna take a rapid-fire dump

[laffyta2]

@emanresua What. the fucking fuck. lmfao

[markdeming1989]

@emanresua hmmm compliment or criticism? haha

[swaapo]

@emanresua poop and shoot....

[lrest]

@emanresua Well Bleed must turn your asshole into a minigun then...

[queerduck321]

fucking love the tone of the guitars.

[GeorgeWheeler]

DA-DA-DUN DUN DUN DA-DA-DUN DA-DA-DUN DA-DA-DUN

\m/

[Zyborggian]

I just realized what this song is about!!!! (at least in my opinion)

Its about people who go to gore sites on the internet and watch people get beheaded and commit suicide. and they find entertainment (zen) in this.

[TheVlad9]

you cant beat messhugah any band ......

[666lordgaara]

i just got the meaning of obzen = obscene zen :D

[Zyborggian]

@666lordgaara no shit sherlock

[666lordgaara]

@Zyborggian dig deeper watson

[ShreddingAngel]

@666lordgaara Nah dude, obZen means, as one of the members explained, ob in some other language means anti, so the full meaning would be anti-zen, which is what this album is entirely about, some type of evil that us as a species can sometimes sink into and face in our lives, eg. thoughts of murder, lying to achieve things yet destroying others lives in the process.

[TheDreamingDeadBeat]

@ShreddingAngel

AND: It's a play on words. Obscene.

[ShreddingAngel]

@TheDreamingDeadBeat Yeah man! Sorry, misread that part! You're right :)

[dujl]

@ShreddingAngel Or a "zen" in the obscene.

[filth69ify1]

best album so far. can't wait for the next.

[1key3doors]

[StaggnGuvnor]

I tried to play this on the guitar, but i physically cannot pluck in 9 different dimensions.

[fukinluvfukingshitup]

horrible sound quality

[danceofdestructi0n]

These lyrics are amazing!

[DimensionsOfficial]

I wouldnt say extreem. Technical yes but grind core and tech death hold the extreem stuff but its all good n heavy

[riguez98]

Fuck ya genre's unless it's for finding it in a music store. Just turn the lights down low, give ya chick or man a glass of champagne then crank this fucker up to 11 n watch as they run for their lives. This is music at it's most extreme. :D

[DimensionsOfficial]

its djent, progressive metal

[hellraidzor]

genre? its technical death metal or math metal

[babykkkyle]

@hellraidzor this is NOT technical anything metal it would have to be technical and complicated in order to be so....it isn't

[hellraidzor]

@babykkkyle And where is your argument? It is.

[babykkkyle]

@hellraidzor how is it in anyway complex like no offense but i don't get why people say that about this band what are you comparing them too?

[ShadowEater120880]

@babykkkyle Its not a consistent beat and/or the instruments don't play the same time signature at the same time. As the guy in The Inbetweeners says "too jazzy?"

[stevocro]

@babykkkyle learn some music theory then you'll understand(no offense)

[babykkkyle]

@stevocro i may not know music theory but i know plenty about music i may not be able to describe it properly, but thats because i am self/influence taught. listen to decapitated you'll understand why wht these guys are doing is so basic to me and not really a big deal like i said befor if that was one part of a song it would be one thing but the whole song is basically the same minor variations which i know can change everything just here they don't

[SilentDarkness2332]

@babykkkyle its not about how technical it is, its about how they.. move sound, its pure groove. Decapitated is one of the best bands out there but so are Meshuggah. before Meshuggah no one sounded that heavy, go back to 1998 with the 'Choasphere' album or '94 with 'None' nothing else sounded like this back then, they re wrote the language of extreme music..

[babykkkyle]

@SilentDarkness2332 well i won't dispute individual taste with you to each his own. as far as heaviness goes see deaths human from 199o no it definitely different but if anything was a lot heavier. they (meshuggah) didn't reinvent or pioneer heaviness in anyway sorry but that's just very misinformed to say.

[MetalReigns2]

@babykkkyle IVe seen you on several meshuggah videos, I have put up with you on the bleed video, but can you please fuck off? I know I'm being rude but seriously, if you dont like it, dont listen to it.

[babykkkyle]

@MetalReigns2 I have indeed stopped listening I just thought it would be unfair to judge them based on one song and the only other one I commented on i mistook for this one which I was already debating with ppl on. I apologize for offending you.

[stevocro]

@babykkkyle well what can i say, i do not agree with you

i think its pointless to debate this if you don't understand their music

lets just leave it like this

[StaggnGuvnor]

@babykkkyle the complexity in this song is in how it is played and how the instruments work together, not how technical the playing actually is. its called polyrhythm and its damn difficult to do :L an example of how its weird is that if you listen to bleed by meshuggah you can tap in pretty much any time and it will still be in time! :O weird ass i know! love meshuggah <3

[MetalReigns2]

@babykkkyle Its alright, but please, you are only continuing the arguing which we all know needs to stop on metal videos, making metalheads look bad.

[lorenyork]

Instead of debating what genre or slang term applies to the music, how about everyone just shut the hell up and mosh? \m/

[rubenshein]

@lorenyork why don't just shut up?

[nehpets96]

@lorenyork amen

[TotalOmnicide]

@lorenyork I think this genre of epic belongs to Djent if im not wrong.

[fearfactorymeshuggah]

my 3 favs songs on this disc pravus bleed and obzen

[CorruptZDI]

Hey guys, does anyone know if they've played this song live? I can't find it here on youtube...

[Meshuggaaaahhhhh]

@CorruptZDI They do not play the song Obzen live to my knowledge... I wish they did too, I think this song is just fucking awesome rhythmically and the melody also kicks ass during the chorus on both guitars. I mean the chorus really sounds orgasmic (example 4:00 - 4:28). When I bought an 8-string guitar :) :) :) (agile intrepid pro, left-handed) I learned SuM first and then Obzen, that's how much I like this song and album. But yeah Meshuggah doesn't play this song live because Tomas can't rise

[XxTh33ndxX]

@Meshuggaaaahhhhh What ya mean cant rise?

[Meshuggaaaahhhhh]

Tomas isn't allowed to play Obzen because he will rise above the usual 146 degrees fahrenheit and FUCKING EXPLODE. Which would end Meshuggah tours on this dimension.

[CorruptZDI]

This song must go down in metal history, as it has one of the most staggering intros ever. Love the bending stuff as well, makes it all groovy.

[paperpro3223]

Looks like dudes eyes are gonna open up any second

[jonelle414]

@paperpro3223 His eyes are open .... :O

[paperpro3223]

@jonelle414 HOly fucking shittt!!! hahah :p

[lorenyork]

@jonelle414 thanks to meshuggah, my eyes are open now too =D

[immortalperser]

@paperpro3223 He probably enjoys listening to Meshuggah with his eyes closed after killing someone with his right hand ;) I wish I was that calm!

[bom2]

sick of people calling Meshuggah math metal. This is the grooviest shit i've ever listened to. it's about the groove.

[kbreeding69]

@TheRevScare

You could simply have said that and left out the comment about Meshuggah fans, honestly I remain un-offended due to the fact that I do not claim to be a fan, I simply enjoy some of their music... Regardless, you had to go about calling everyone pious which in my opinion is unjustifiable considering that I was not trying to act pious when I directed my comment towards you and still yet you have to toss about insults which I honestly feel was directed to me as well as others
