[beanriffs]

the exact part of bleed that was playing in the background is my old ringtone

[frenzyhoodx]

u guys fucking awesomee!! cant wait for new album! koloss!

[Tool2142]

be there or be a rhombus....

[Zyborggian]

2011...... LOL remember when everyone thought that was when it was gonna come out?? FUCKING KOLOSS HELL YEAH!!!!!

[kev0ut]

thanks for the input jens. good talk

[44eelz]

be there or be octagon! 

[antibulletdodger101]

@44eelz lol makes no sense but thats cool!

[antibulletdodger101]

@44eelz oh.. square, octagon.. I get it lol

[futuredeath]

Brilliant musicians! may the band go on for a very long time!

[Ackemannen]

Saknar Umeå här i Montreal. Ös på gubbar!

[Mrbungle697]

KOLOSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AntiJonasZone]

Haha, look how often Jens nods.

[Freezaen]

So... Took a long time for jens to say these fours things: "EUAAARH!"

"Yeah."

"I be euh..."

"We're gonna be there."

He's so badass. XD

[axedstoninst]

March. fucking. 27th.

[concuscretus]

3:38 that how i'm gonna behave in my 40s in front of my kids too

[ParagonofReality]

Come on March 27....

[RazvanStrinu]

jens is fuckin funny

[movchok]

Jens, was that mushrooms kicking in, or are you just afraid of the camera?

The new album... mm, I dunno. If it's gonna be the same machine-like repetition of same intricate patterns over and over, then I'll skip. It would be better if M risked to make some actual music once in a while. IMO they haven't done that since DEI in '94.

[nonhasthisusername]

@movchok gotta disagree with you there m8. You can't say it's not music, you can say you don't like it but it is music. It's more rythmical music tho so you gotta have a rythmical sence to kinda catch the groove and to actually see what they are doing and putting into it. But music it is for sure and i dig it!

[BaronGhede]

am i the only one who was completely distracted by Jens head nodding?

[pumpkins0]

YEEESSSS. This is an album I can definitely get excited over.

[thegearmusic]

2:55 Jens: YAUHHHHHHH.....  Never were truer words spoken

[BeholdTheAshes]

Nod. Blink. Blink. Nod. Nod. Blink.

[Riddick00]

0:23 Jens: What Album? oO

[hanesoid]

new album coming in 2012 - the first real message about the end of the World!!

[reptile1000]

tool and meshuggah's new album early 2012! can't wait

[iAmPesukone]

2012? That's not that far away. If the stuff is good, it's always worth the wait. Knowing how good all Meshuggah so far has been, I'm confident the new album will be worth the waiting.

[unliborator]

Jens says it all. . .

[tacopeita]

it's october,!!!! I want !!!, oh fuck it's done 2012

[stewartbarnes15]

Tomas haake has a very calming and comfortable voice and a great vocabulary.

[ThexteraDrummer]

It says in Wikipedia that it'll be released in 2012..

[Cambrand]

Says late 2011 on wiki right now.



[ktuluak]

when the fuck is coming out ?

[MickeyLWalker]

@ktuluak late fall!!!!!

[paperpro3223]

@MickeyLWalker Is it already out?/ I dont know what to look for

[MickeyLWalker]

@paperpro3223 no its not out yet :/ fredrik replied to a message i sent him saying they would be finished in late fall this was like a month ago, but it may be early 2012 before the record company actually makes all the cds and puts them out....... either way keep your eyes peeeeeeled im sooo excited for this album

[skateNappreciate]

I don't wanta sound like a pessimist or whatever but... what else can they do? obzen was great but only because they meshed the old with the new, soooo now what? im excited for the album but im kinda worried it's gonna tread some really familar ground

[TheMBthree]

@skateNappreciate and thats a bad thing? lol I agree with you but even if their new album was nothing new it would still be superior to everything out there. I'll take my meshuggah anyway i can get it!!

[ParagonofReality]

@skateNappreciate I think you'll appreciate it when you hear it. I have the same feeling sometimes.

[BurnedFaceShreder]

It's September!!!! I want !!! Meshuggah!!!

[MrCopperhater]

@BurnedFaceShreder The record wont be done this year..

I´ve talked to the guys, iit will be done somtime around march 2012..

really sad.

[BurnedFaceShreder]

@MrCopperhater :( ouh

[UltimateBadAssesUBA]

@MrCopperhater at least it's before the end of the world.

[theSyringe]

Just watching Jens makes this awesome in itself :D

[123121s1]

it is september RIGHT NOW

[OneSpudd]

dude, this was recorded on my birthday, plus why dosent Tomaas have swedish accent

[rasberrysauce]

@OneSpudd He does, it's just not very thick.. I suppose because he has to speak English so much?

[rasberrysauce]

@rasberrysauce whoops, commented on the wrong comment, lol

[dominiccss]

@OneSpudd He was probably taught English by an American, so he picked up the American accent.

[Samm3x]

Haha Jens made this interview much more interesting somehow! I am not saying its not interesting, I love to hear news about album releases and such! But he made it just slightly different! hahaha. Awesome! Waiting! Meshuggah \m/

[picball39]

September 2015...wait for it lol...I would do!

[MetalMannyG18]

try moving your head at the same time as jens.

[JudithStarbright]

I lol'd at the suggestion of Meshuggah *not* being tight.

[DistortedBrain]

No moreeee albums, I can already guess whats its gonna sound like. chugga chugga chugga chugaa. I love this band but they have no progression.

[BenjaminKuruga]

@DistortedBrain You don't know what the fuck they're gonna do.

[DistortedBrain]

@BenjaminKuruga U mad bro?

[BenjaminKuruga]

@DistortedBrain Yesh.

[rololoo]

@DistortedBrain

No progression? Ever gone through their whole discography? Guess not. Fuck off bitch.

[DistortedBrain]

@rololoo U mad bruh?

[rololoo]

@DistortedBrain

Seems you have no good arguments at all, enjoy being a simpleton fuck

[DistortedBrain]

@rololoo You mirin bruh?

[MrCopperhater]

The album will come out in mars.. I know the guys so talked personally to them about it.. relly long time

[dopefiend138]

i feel sorry for the guy on the right. he cant talk to save his life

[KHfan4ever23]

I don't think Meshuggah could ever make a bad album.

[MilitantOldLady]

@KHfan4ever23

i dont know, the first one was pretty iffy :D

[Spratcho]

2:37 I wanna be "ASS ANAL" too :)

[Orfeodrumshit]

LONG LIVE MESHUGGAH

[TheWezel1995]

Come to holland!

[DimePanterA123]

Come to Chileeee!!

[erdskom]

Jens' head movings are so compatible with the song right? :D

[phreestylesk8r]

2011 is a great year for music, devin townsend released two perfect records, cynic, meshuggah, opeth, mastodon, primus, comin out with a new record and dillinger escape plans recording something. 2011 is my favorite year ha

[ggalexhutchings]

@phreestylesk8r check out the new album by anomalous, OHMnivalent if you're looking forward to meshuggah. my fave album of the year.

[phreestylesk8r]

@ggalexhutchings sounds cool, il check it out thanks

[SlowlyYouRot]

@phreestylesk8r Hell yeah man! this year is just gonna get better and better for music. Deconstruction is probably one of the coolest albums i've ever heard. and Opeth being my other favorite band, im sure their new album will also blow my mind. Mastodon has a new album coming out? aaaawwsome

[daltonwatros1]

@SlowlyYouRot heeeeeell yeah dude the new opeth song the devils orchard is definitely like nothing i have ever heard before...not metal by any stretch of the word, but it is a good piece of music to say the least. i think mikael was greatly influenced by his classic roots and the the direction daniel gildenlow took pain of salvation with road salt one, which was stated by mikael to be one of his all time fav albums

[Willferox]

Come to England

[bumcookie1]

i'm still waiting to hear Tomas pronounce his last name

[rololoo]

@bumcookie1

Haa like in "blaa", long "a" sound, and ke like in "sketch". Haake. Not Hayk or Hayke, just Haake.

[bumcookie1]

@rololoo THANK YOU!!! OH MY GOD!!!! it was frustrating just hearing "Hey it's Tomas from Meshuggah" 

[ParagonofReality]

...Just waiting for the next asshole to pop up and say "I herd sum of teh nu ALBUM!!!" HERP DERP!!!

I'm getting more impatient everyday.

[Junkiemaxxx]

Jens is a hypnotic headbanging machine!!! Does he bang while sleeping? :D

[djentmadness]

jens is headbanging WHILE drinking from that cup

[PunksDeadEmoK1dsN3xt]

See you on the road !..!

[supah1337B]

So wait ....the best band on earth ...Is going to get better?

Oh holy shit. x*O I could cry

[AtanasovPetar]

I heard somewhere Dimebag and the Meshuggah guys was friends when he was alive.Does anyone have info and what Meshuggah thinks about Pantera?

[ATtTheGates]

@AtanasovPetar I can't say i've ever heard it myself but i can imagine it - Contradictions Collapse 1991 / Cowboys From Hell 1990 two very metallica influenced albums, maybe they did a show together back in their thrash days.

[AtanasovPetar]

@ATtTheGates Come on...you are giving metallica too much credit for influence.Like on shows and TV they are trying to make metallica the first heavy band.There was so many bands that started it all even before metallica.

[ATtTheGates]

@AtanasovPetar Whoa whoa whoa! back up a min, If anyones gonna say that metallica's not the best band in the world it's gonna be me! haha. I just meant that, that may have been how the two bands become acquaintances - through both being fans of a particular band. It is a fact that both Pantera and Meshuggah were fans of / influenced by metallica back in the day. I am personally not a fan and am fully aware of the fact that they were not the first metal band!

[AtanasovPetar]

@ATtTheGates Man i miss Dimebag...

[YoYoHall]

Jens looks so bored

[fjanton83]

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha this band is soo out in the space

[skootch84]

he said "ass anal"

[ATtTheGates]

@skootch84 Ass Anal haha I love it!

[partyboysproduction]

Jens is awesome hahaha

[suizidium]

best band ever. fact.

[supah1337B]

@suizidium Pfff of course thats fact bro.

[m80kamikaze]

@suizidium I can independently verify that face.

[bloodyrockfire]

hmmm might the machine craft some emotion through the atmosphere it creates? I certainly hope they will maintain what made them unique and as they always state further develop

[picball39]

can´t wait to be pulled into spaces nothingness by this wonderfull band!

Into an ever diving rope that peels itself inbetween time to its own end of pure vacantness of sound.

greets from germany!

[metaldemonseanknels]

i bought an 8 string guitar just i so i can play meshuggah... and now i play my own style and i can't play 6 string worth shit anymore

[vsv23te]

Best Band ever.

[multisonus]

these guys literally revitalized metal... they're amazing innovators.

[Tool78Maynard]

lmao @ jens 1:43-2:02 lol What the hell is he doing? He is so fuckin awesome.

[hewhodosestuff]

@Tool78Maynard he's trying to trip out all the stoned people watching this. well atleast that IS what he's doing

[NecroDhalia]

@Tool78Maynard well, he has to do SOMETHING since Tomas is doing all the talking :)

[polarcane]

"nods"

[emilosallo]

No one can drink water like Jens Kidman: 3:35

[LOGonover]

you guys are fucking legends, im itching to see you guys live but i dont think you tour canada very often :(

ive been lisning to you guys for about four years now, and your songs never get old. i really hope to one day see you live, mabey ill visit europe and catch you on one of your tours. in any case, i cant wait to hear the new album :)

[MetalDeth777]

"Ass anal". hahaha. Can't wait for the new record

[HatredTowardsAll]

I cant wait to hear another master piece ever since i started listening to meshuggah since i was 13. one day randomly came across one of their song which was chaos-sphere the song naurotica ever since i listen to that song for the first time it sounded so different of style i couldn't understand it the vocals so complicated in what they describe and say i new right then and their that i needed to hear more and im 23 know i saw them drop album after album i have all albums.

[tmayne220]

thomas sort of reminds me of neil pert... which is very fitting because they are both awesome drummers hehe

[neelshiv]

Sick interview. Super irritating poorly done background loops.

[lamuertenvida]

ohhh fuck...im spanish and i dont understand NOTHING!

[GojiraNoKyokai]

im really curious how the next album would sound like, they said they would loosen the technicality to breath life into their songs and make it have emotion, which i guess is kind of hard to feel in their previous ones because its like a machine, but then i guess too much of something makes you lack something vital, im excited to see this new hybrid album!! all hail MESHUGGAH!!

[X3lfl3X]

Personally they are taking far too much time to perfect the material and that they are going to destroy they're own band, the last album is very nice but they will kill they're own name.

[Nem33]

@X3lfl3X wtf are you on about?

[bloodyrockfire]

@X3lfl3X The way they've performed all along their career, I doubt they'll suddenly become a straightforward band.I think they were talking about atmosphere that subsequently crafts the emotion, the audience may feel

[jteshuwah]

glad to see an artist these days realize they need to get back to that old ENERGY, that "vibe" that only comes from working the material out AS A BAND, and not just each one going in, recording their part and moving on! that's why so much modern stuff is so sterile and lifeless! good job, guys! can't wait to hear the new album! keep up the good work!

[Wajomatik]

sic



[ettan1991]

Gött mos!

[BlakkToothGrinn69]

This needs to come out, like right now...

[ffr3ak]

haha is Jens high? :) anyway can't wait to hear new stuff

[rvpmetallica]

if you dont like this video please f@*# off and die

[mattnsim]

I'll be there.

[DennisFischer88]

Hoping for I

[ChimpFromSpace]

Hoping for a new experimental "Catch 33" type album. Either way you guys can do no wrong. Meshuggah is gonna be HUGE in the next few years. Mark my words. Bleed has like 80 billion views.

[ChimpFromSpace]

Is Fredrick still working on his second defects album? Or working on both new Meshuggah and new Defects at the same time?

Jens don't need lyrics, it would kick almost as much ass if he just stood on stage and head banged the whole time.

[L4wr220n]

Men ni ska väl spela i sverige också? De måste ni, jag hade kommit, utan tvekan :)

[Boopji]

new album in September? i guess ill just buy the new album for my girlfriend for her birthday and her be like "i dont want that shit" and then i just keep it =)

[theSyringe]

Watching just Jens already makes this video epic :)

[IdyllicDream]

screw the david icke lyrics...just get in there and scream rrAHHHH a whole bunch of times. everyones singing about the same thing over and over again. the music style is what I dig about Meshuggah. It's not boring, although Jens is the best metal singer I've ever heard...flame thrower vocal chords.

[shewontdie07]

Fuck yes.

[JackedUpNGoodToGo]

Ever since I've read a comment comparing Thomas to Obi-wan...I can't stop thinking that he REALLY looks like him...

[BurnedFaceShreder]

can you guys come to Puerto Rico??..unfortunately not,people here dont know shit about real music :/

[proggod876]

i know its gonna be a great album...ya wanna know why?...cuz its MESHUGGAH!!!!

[MrShavvo]

Damnit, my neighbors are going to call the cops on me AGAIN for playing meshuggah so loud it sets their house on fire.....oh well it's worth it

[antonio610]

Tomas has surprisingly good English.

[tominator510]

@antonio610 he writes the lyrics and he sang for spasm

[SwedishBerzerker]

MESHUUGGGAHHHHH!!! FUCK YEAH!!!! 2011 - NEw Opeth, new Children of Bodom, new Amon Amarth, new Meshuggah. This has got to be the best year in metal since at least 2008!

[milkterd1]

jens is like the stig of metal

[milkterd1]

*spazzin out*

[ktuluak]

can't wait

[NoaOno]

Coming soon: Meshuggah and Periphery album. Lovely!

[herculov]

@NoaOno And Tesseract, Born of Osiris, and Textures =)

[RuroJiruries]

@herculov WHAT, a TesseracT Album? Not the Concealing Fate EP but another release this year? Fukken' ace if so.

I like all the Artist names I'm seeing in the recent comments as well, feeling right at home~

[herculov]

@RuroJiruries And Periphery's releasing a new EP plus touring US again with Fair To Midland and Scale The Summit. Ya, Tesseract has a new video coming out also with Concealing Fate extra DVD which I think will come with the CD purchase. And Sikth's guitarist Pin has a new project which if I remember right is in the writing process for a new album.

[RuroJiruries]

@herculov Oh lawd, SikTh members at work too, thanks for the info :D There's plenty to be spazzin' out about!

[herculov]

@RuroJiruries I believe the new band's name is ALIASES.

[NoaOno]

@herculov I don't care for them.

[separatorable]

звяздато!!! нью албум бейба!!! соседам пиздоц!!!))))

[Apollo13AndTheirProb]

[igiwarcraft]

[BmGeoBm]
