[CarlOlav]

@rwmerlot777 You don't.

[MrJoeyMonster]

6 people were touched by Gary Glitter.

[continuum288]

i REMEMBER READING ABOUT THIS MELLOBOAT EVENT JUST BEFORE OBZEN CAME OUT! I WISH I COULD HAVE WENT! FREDRIK IS MY FAVE!

[RubriaRose]

pineal gland exploded.

[MostEvil7string]

This is so cool!! I talked to Fredrik a couple of years ago and at that time he used a midi expression pedal that changed the speed of a digital delay somewhatand that gave that treally wicked sound. I think like the way a boss delay does when you change the delay speed, it warps... rrrrrrrr love that sound

[suprjnt420]

need to c more footage please!!!!

[timtimtim1888]

much more interesting than ozzfest

[milkterd1]

"COME ON FUCKING HELL MAN!" - LMAO

[MainstreamKills]

no wonder u guys make awesome music after seeing this live xD

[MackBarrow]

i had been watching this video since its been put up and now i just figured out its on TesseracT's youtube,it makes sense now. Shows how much i pay attention. TesseracT fucking owns!

[smashtor]

melloboat was awesome!!!!!!!!!! HELL YES TO MELLOBOAT. <3

[qgloafhun]

Why do I live so fucking far away from these lunatics?

[qgloafhun]

Why do I live so fucking far away from these lunatics?

[CORNP00]

how does he get that really choppy pitch bend with those high notes? Is he just using a tremolo, or is there another way to do that?

[DeadPixel2009]

fuck America, I'm moving to Sweden!

[mdfk667]

Dayum that must have been a Uber gig! Nuclear musicians! 10x for the up!

[milleralive]

Holy fucking fuck ass shit fuck fuck shit shit ass fuck fuck ass shit fuck shit fuck fuck ass shit fucking fuck fuck shit fuck!!

[jazzmatik]

I would like to have heard "Through Fear We Are All Unconscious" and "Death At Both Ends" but this is still epic!

[LocketRauncher]

I didn't read the description, so when I saw the Caparison headstock and heard Eklundh's playing, I freaked out!! Can you say SUPER GROUP!!

[ForTheRestOfTime]

God Sweden sounds great! I mean, it's a couple of ugly nerds playing some of the darkest, mindboggelingly difficult music ever without vocals and the crowd is loving it.

Wish I lived there...

[DeadAmaranth]

What a privilege, to get to enjoy this in such a small, intimate setting. I love how they started going crazy when they heard the distortion kick in, heheh. I don't think I would have screamed; I'd have to wake up from my post-orgasmic faint, induced from knowing Fred stood six feet from my and would soon unleash. Wonderful stuff.

[atheismwins]

haha the intro to the actual medley is just KILLING, its like COME ON PLAY IT PLAY EEEEEEEEEEEEEET

[dreamopeth]

this is without doubt the most futuristic metal album ever alongside with catch 33

[Marleyaagaard]

Check out the new jazz from Norway as well.... Shining - BlackJazz Youll enjoy for sure!

[fetapan]

Awesome stuff!

Tesseract in Sweden enjoying SNG who would have belived. Hope you guys decide to play here too soon.

And comeon with the album already. :D

[schpleeb]

Opeth, Comus and THIS... how did I mis that boat..

[pickblade]

videos like this make me wanna move to Sweden

[heresyisprogress]

the new jazz. awesome...

[JustusFriedolin]

if theyd improvise like this, haha... woo

[atheismwins]

@heresyisprogress

... thats a strange comparison.

No.

But its still f-ing awesome XD

[GhostOfBrendan]

Look at those Vettas!!! Thordendal is the champ

[dablacksolja]

gustaf hielm?!?!?!

that's a big surprise

[abrelosojo]

is that the 8 string? why play it on an 8 string? i thought it would be a bugger.

[captainbloodloss]

"He's just teasing us now!"

Haha!

[organicshadows]

exelant camera work

[Colubedy]

Gustav hielm? wasn't that the bass player from meshuggah before Dick Lövgren?

[TheMandalic]

Correct : )!!!

[noddyfellsilent]

I filmed this video :D

[Tesseractproject]

good times :p

Need melloboat 2!

[mikamikamika666]

@Tesseractproject

yeah  !

[Meshuggahnize]

@noddyfellsilent you are the God that filmed this video?

you are great ! this video is amazing !!!! the attack of the song take me chills everytime I listen it..

thanks man!!!

and more ,MY FAVOURITE GROUP IS MESHUGGAH (and the fredrik projects) but at the 2 position there are TESSERACT!!!! thank Djent!!!

[8stringerr]

i love frederiks lead tone, how does he get that? he doesn't even have his breath controller here.

[na4yk]

WTF? Why is Mathias Ia Eklundh allways out of sight?? He is one of the most original and talented guitar players and musicians in the pro scene?

[Kafe420]

All of them is equal original

[metmilitia]

awesomness

[quisquefaber88]

epic intro.. gave me goosebumps when i recognized the song

[Jgresko]

This is fuckin goofy weird shit.

That drumming just does not go with any of that at all...wtf is morgan thinking?

[needlearmor]

you are wrong. if you choose only to listen to the ride cymbal and lead guitar, you'll get the wrong impression. look at the vid that this one is a response to. you'll be able to hear more clearly what he's doing and why it's awesome. rhythm guitar/bass/bassdrum always get the shaft in sound clarity on camcorder mics...

[Jgresko]

I know, Ive seen the Fredrik+Morgan medly before.

many times in fact.

But up until they burst into that medly they did, the drumming is just kinda absurd sounding to his leads. sometimes I get the idea morgan gets so excited he actually starts just hitting random things.

[gtrracer]

thats how drums go...

[MikePostDrums]

"That's how drums go"?

Are you kidding me?

[Lucidmammoth]

@MikePostDrums i think if you know the drummer and what he does, and keep an open mind its actually pretty cool. like i said i would use mallets. im sure alot of other people would use mallets as well.

buts its about creating the new and pushing the boundries so i think he did a fine job and created a pretty unique atmosphere, thats pretty recklessly smooth.

[Galactu5]

I think if the sound quality was better and you weren't watching him play instead it would be much better for you.

[Lucidmammoth]

@Jgresko no i agree i sort of thought the same thing. it upset me that i thought that, so i just assumed it was shit quality.

honestly if it was me though, i would have mellowed the shit out, even used mallets. thats just my style though. cant please everybody i guess.

[asdfasdsfsa]

eeew.. vetta head.. i hope he uses the axe-fx now..

[axemanhojo]

3:29.....motherfuckkkkk

[zoolekramer]

thx for that, great version

[Tesseractproject]

Still the best gig i've been to!

I'm pretty sure it wasn't a behringer midi pedal he using at this show. It was black one...very line 6 looking.

He uses a nord clavia which is in the rack underneath the heads which gets the weird sounds...aswell as technique! It might still be his custom 33 rack which is basically a custom nord synth thing only without the breath controller which he only seems to use on future breed machine now a days.

[retardification1]

@Tesseractproject he is a pretty line 6 kind of guy... and having some custom rack given to him by the greys wouldnt be beyond the dude

[MaXaNoMaLoUs]

..oh fuckin hell man.. are the last words on the video.. lol haha awesome musicians. Thatd be a nice thing to see at the bar on the boat huh? dang!

[Galactu5]

I just noticed that from 2:18 to 2:30 his guitar sounds like Tibetan Singing Bowl Ululation.

What is that you ask?

Please see below.

watch?v=3riK2f-MLXA&NR=1

[noizlessproduction]

awesome !!!!!!!

[b0ttomzone]

why the fuck was i not at this gig? the fact that i don't live in sweden is not an excuse for shit like this.

[Putrefraction]

Exactly what i was fucking thinking !

fucking.. sweden

no fucking way !

[theflyingscudman]

"He's just teasing us now..."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

don't know why that's so funny, but it's true.

[CizreK]

It must have been insane being there, the guitarist is so sick...

[Playlistamac]

what kind of pedal is fred playing with to get that twitchy sound at the begining?

[strannger]

in the very beginning? he just uses very thin gauge strings, and he pushes his tremolo bar. if you have one, you can try it too. pick a note, than hit the tremolo bar quick to get that weird sound. Allan Holdsworth does it very often.

[narrocks]

nope dude!he's not using the tremolo bar,he doesn't even have it.

he's using midi controller pedal with whammy effect from his vetta

[strannger]

o.O i didnt know that. and what type of controller does he use?

[narrocks]

last time I saw them live in october 2008

fredrik's been using behringer midi foot controller

[larsulrich09]

didn't know mattias was on the project...awesome!!!

[psycho771]

I love Fredirik's little thing at the beginning,But I cannot figure what the hell he does to get that sound.

[anastu]

Probably a DigiTech Whammy Pedal, or he's using a Floyd Rose

[MeekDrill]

Awesome, but the video kinda made me feel sick :D

[dekadoroe]

Video much appreciated, but why can't the camera guy stay still. Thordendal is the shit, but apparently his sonic prowess makes the videographer's hinds shake incessantly.

[Tesseractproject]

what do you expect. Its on a boat in choppy seas at 2 am and everyone is drunk. :p

[AngeloftheFall1]

that'd be the fuckin shit, partying, then fuckin seeing Sol Niger Within DRUNK!!

I'd prolly shit everywere, then start drinking again!!

Tesserect also fuckin blows me away, fuckin kick ass shit right there..

[smashtor]

@Tesseractproject you said it!!! when katatonia played that boat was ROCKING back and forth!

[smashtor]

@Tesseractproject hell yeah, when katatonia was playing the whole boat was swaying back and forth!!!

[FINCHster]

the face that dude made at :50 is epic.

[titusbeertsen]

hehe +1 for "he's just teasing us!"

[mandrich]

OMG, I just orgasmed. Never heard before about that collaboration between Mathias E and Fredrik T. Incredible.

[eclecto]

you all fucking lucky bastards...to hear this song live and with eklundh/hielm colaborating...priceless.

[b0ttomzone]

my god. i would have murdered to be at that gig.

[josedrumer]

wow ! what a combination!

3 of my heroes up there!

thats sick!

[Sirdoman]

damn this show looked like it was amazing! thanks for the upload!

[00Dakka]

I CANT SEE NO MATTIAS

[ZeppelinRules]

That guy on the left playing the Caparison Applehorn through the Laney looks an awful lot like Mattias to me. In fact I think it is him.

[00Dakka]

it is, but the camera misses him most of the time

[ZeppelinRules]

Yea its a shame, his solo was nuts.

[killzoomer]

man i wish i was as good as Fredrik at playing guitar, well im getting better anyways

[666Luftballons]

I wish someone had kicked the shit out of that yelling moron in the crowd. Jesus Christ what a mongoloid ape.

[AmonAmarthRRocks]

My gosh! i think hes near the camera!!! Why Is he screaming that retarded like! you think hes retarded?

[666Luftballons]

"Retarded like"? Get the fuck off the internet.

[ZeppelinRules]

You've clearly never been to a metal concert.

[666Luftballons]

This is not a typical metal concert, and it's not really metal to begin with. Just because Thordendal plays in a metal band the people in the crowd don't have to act like a pack of wolves with ADHD. Some situations lend themselves for it, like a concert in a big theatre or an open-air festival, where everyone is shitfaced anyway. This is different. That guy should have been kicked in the balls repeatedly, until the sound frequency of his yelling exceeded 20KHz.

[Griffith101]

Sol niger is very fucking metal! Even though it has odd time signatures and holdsworth style solos sol niger within is an extremly heavy sinister sounding album. It's definatly metal just way beyond what most metal bands are doing. Which is pretty funny considering the album was made over ten years ago.

Anyway this was the mats/morgan all star band the Sol niger portions were metal and no doubt a big reason alot of people watched but the rest of the set was more jazz fusion and experimental.

[ThisSpitefulSnake]

You've clearly never been retarded. :)

[schwarg]

lol is acle of tesseract filming this?

[Tesseractproject]

hehe yeah. well my mate was who I was right next to. one of the best gigs ive been to! the hangover wasn't pretty the day after...the boat was rocking everywhere.

[0BLOODMOUNTAIN0]

alright i didnt watch far enough. NOW i can hear the meshuggah influence!

[0BLOODMOUNTAIN0]

arrrgh i wish i could get into this, but it sounds like Sunn O)))

i thought Sol Niger Within was a jazz fusion metal album..

anyone help me out here?

[Remission76]

Sunn O))) ..nothing of the sort. i take it you're well versed in mastodon, considering your name, however; much more of a coltrane/davis/holdsworth influence here. pure jazz. feel the rolls off agren's set. merely artist's complimenting each other. nobody trying to steal the spotlight. that's why these two are an amazing pair.

[0BLOODMOUNTAIN0]

well for one the sunn O))) thing was just the first moments where there is only feedback..

and yeah i can feel the jazz, i recently got into Coltrane

and i never said anything about them being like mastodon, or anything about them not being complimentary!

[Remission76]

haha no offense. it seems alot of mastodon/lamb of god/etc. fans try to get into this stuff and label it as "crap" because of its complexity. If you're trying to get a feel for SNG, this isnt the best example. Don't get me wrong, its an amazing section, probably my most favourite riff of all time (along with tool's Triad) but the album itself is much more jazz based (mostly the soloing). although fredrik is (in)famous for his rhythm, you can find alot more of the jazz in the actual album.

[0BLOODMOUNTAIN0]

Complexity? its the best stuff, i.e. Meshuggah, Dream Theater, Opeth, Sikth

[luke666808g]

i'm pretty sure Sikth only had that one album, I do believe a couple the guys out of that band have formed another band kinda Sikth like, but the name escapes me right now.

[0BLOODMOUNTAIN0]

umm, what is that in reply to? i never said anything about me needing more Sikth... i have both their albums! bit confused dude

[josedrumer]

gustaf is so lucky

he has played with pain of salvation , meshuggah and now this!

holly crap!

[ZaphodBeeblebrox65]

Sikth had 2 albums, "The Trees are Dead and Dried Out Wait For Something Wild" and "Death of a Dead Day".

[EmbodiedDespair]

The first half of the video sounds like Sunn 0))).

Go buy the album, it's fantastic.

[0BLOODMOUNTAIN0]

Well at least i was partly right!

Yeah i really want it but its very expensive for a CD and i cant find a paid download anywhere =/

[EmbodiedDespair]

A paid download might be harder to find than... oh, say....

....

...think about it.

[0BLOODMOUNTAIN0]

What do you take me for, subhuman scum? Course that occurred to me but i prefer to buy music

[EmbodiedDespair]

Then go to a local record store and pick it up. They should carry it. It's not that obscure of an album.

I don't take you for anything. I don't know you. haha.

[0BLOODMOUNTAIN0]

Lol, fair enough. I've looked, but the UK sucks for that kind of music... It really is pretty obscure!

[EmbodiedDespair]

I wouldn't know, as I live in California. I mean, I bought the album at best buy... how hard can it be to find it?

Order it online?

[0BLOODMOUNTAIN0]

Nah we don't have best buy here, the high street is a bit of a dump here. Ill try to order online but its pretty damn expensive.

[EmbodiedDespair]

Try and find the source of it, if you're gonna get it online. I.E. Buy it right from the label or whatever source cuts out the middle man the most.

If century media or nuclear blast has it on their site (which they should), you should be able to get it for less than 15 of our crappy American dollars.

[0BLOODMOUNTAIN0]

cheers man

[EmbodiedDespair]

Cheers.

[Lydianshadow]

where is the melloboat?? Sweden??

[ENJohansson]

Yep, It's a boat trip that goes from sweden to finland, and then back again during one weekend with live music almost around the clock onboard.

[thavador]

Pure panic, pure energy. <3

[theshellfishturkey]

For a second there i was hoping they would break into hogstomp bitch.

[theshellfishturkey]

Shoulda hijacked the boat. Made them sail around and play sol niger within all the time.  No sleep for Frederik either!!

[8stringerr]

Mattias is a great guitarist but totally fucked up Sol Niger within, it just sounds like something he plays in he clinics

[Leaveboyen]

NO! this was great!

[reptilizer]

alveeee (1 week ago)

I can't forgive myself for not being into that concert...

SAME!!!!!!! :[

[alveeee]

I can't forgive myself for not being into that concert...

[schwarg]

Fred kicks so much mother fuckin ass

[Bkyilik]

Ah lads, Morgan Agren is much more skilled than Tomas, I fucking love Tomas, and his style is seperate, he is more powerful and and whatnot, but I don't think he can match Morgan's playing. But that is not to say he altogether better.

I believe that Morgan could play with Meshuggah, but it would not be the same. Tomas' polymetrics are entirely unique.

Also, his dynamics are out of this world.

[yamamato44]

Why bother comparing when they play totally different styles?

[killerbiene243]

I would like to hear Fredrik playing some jazz standarts. Like, Spain or Blue Bossa.

[trembar]

oh god there is mattias ia eklundh too right? they`re awesome

[magnum789]

Morgan's snare hums in the beginning because of the guitars:p

[mikejarr]

i dont think morgan intimidates fredrik, i think his skill isn't quite as honed as tomas' and thats what throws fredrik off. morgan is great though

[skezness]

what? although I like tomas' style more, I think morgan agren is just as skilled as toms or even slightly more, have listened to mats/morgan band? but yeah then i go back to destroy erase improve and start doubting, that album is so perfect drum-wise

[mikejarr]

yea tomas has got a cooler style thats for sure, i cant say much for morgans own work as i've only seen/heard him on sol niger...

DEI is fuckin killer (wow future breed blows my mind) but haven't you heard obzen? lol the drums on obzen are out of this world

[strav12]

Agren is so fierce at times I think he almost intimidates Thordendal - poor Fredrik seems a bit subdued with that drumming - he's a bit more crazy when with Meshuggah where he can, er, let his hair down.

[rTuomikanto]

HAHHAH! Morgan made a mistake between the 1st and 2nd riff! xD Great save though! ;)

[mcufre]

dissapointing sound, love the album though

[BlooBeluga]

damn, we're you in a tsunami on the ocean? hold the cam steady!

[Tesseractproject]

haha almost we were on a boat! you try keeping a camera steady with a mosh behind you :p

[BlooBeluga]

ah, i should have assumed, hehe.

[larenuf]

Sweden ruls !!!

[ari1234a]

Sweden dosent RULE.

Finland does.

[skezness]

what's finland got? black metal?? yuck

[ari1234a]

Värttinä, Ultra Bra and Hurriganes.

[skezness]

i liked Värttinä! I remember a finnish band that mixed metal with finnish folk music, it was really cool, forgot their name though.

[zdoering]

was it Finntroll Perhaps?

[thethirdandthemortal]

Shut up bitch!!!!!!!!

Finnish bands kick ass!!

[skezness]

i know i wasn't being serious

[8stringerr]

fag

[skezness]

ii wwaassnn''tt bbeeiinngg sseerriioouuss

[8stringerr]

then why say stupid shit? seriosly

[skezness]

i dunnno, lots of people say the stupidest stuff in youtube...guess i'm one of them sometimes?

[8stringerr]

ya i can understand what you mean though...atleast your not some pompous asshole

[specialDFX]

HAHAHA the teasing! That is just a fucking riot, gotta love those guys.

[skezness]

disable ratings before they go 34 and ruin it...everyone is going to rate it 6 stars anyway

[Tesseractproject]

[ZeeKat]

[skezness]

[josedrumer]

Gustaf Hielm is one of mi heroes! he´s been in meshuggah and pain of salvation! and now with matts & morgan!! holly crap!!! sweden rules!

[josedrumer]
