vintage meshuggah, i wish they would have retained more of their thrash influence in the recent years. really took a lot out of my liking for them. now they just crush. back then they used to crush and roll you the fuck over. devastating power they had.
@mvunit3 you probably were...i rememer seeing this vid on headbangers ball back in 94. they used to play it quite often on that show. ahh the good old days.
@fatalgrace79 - hehe, moved to San Diego County and my 1st Video Game Co. Job as a Conceptual Artist-I guess I was immersed into my assignments and busy buying as many obscure CD's I could get my hands on :D Weird to see Tomas Haak with a buzz cut here too XD -mvunit3
Most original metal band I've ever heard. Love that guitar sound, such energy. Yeah I agree the guitarist does have an Alan Holdsworth sound but there is where the similarity ends.
@047912 Yes they do...and I have the playlist from when they played my hometown. Damn...it was awesome. I remember this vid/song from back in the early 90's before everyone jumped on the Meshuggah band wagon.
I went to see Allan Holdsworth yesterday at Ronnie Scotts in London. I couldnt believe when I saw your comment here as thats exactly what I thought yesterday. Soli like Meshuggah!
holy crap i meant to plus 1 you. I agree. Meshuggah is a bad ass band. if anyone hasn't had the chance to see them live, make the effort. it's worth the while.
@subhumanmaster its better than alot of the shit coming out today. Although i am VERY impressed with many of the modern thrash acts and death metal acts.
@subhumanmaster As a former huge PanterA kid/teenager fan, I now gotta admit that your statement is GODDAMN TRUE. Judgin' by Meshuggah's impact on me, I should probably have gotten a Meshuggah logo carved on my brain's cerebral membrane by now.
@subhumanmaster they WHERE the future of metal. they gave birth to soooo many amazing metal bands, like periphery, parkway drive, the contortionist, etc.
Interesting song; I enjoy the band MEshuggah. I own their EP I and their debut full-length Contradictions Collapse. That is the first time I've seen Thomas Haake with short hair, by the way. It's also the second time I've seen Jens Kidman with that skullet (with all due respect, I'm glad he's got that shaved off).
I remember watching this video on Loud about 10 years ago and hating it... Now its usually the song i test any heavy tones to... just gotta love this song!
Everybody listening to this in '94 '95 really scratched their heads why this band wasn't popular yet. When I bought DEI in '95, it literally blew my mind, after that metal wasn't metal anymore.
this song is about tv lol seriously read the lyrics. youve probably all guessed that anywayz. but yeah its about tv. think of it...there are ppl that choose tv to tell them how to cook or sumthin instead of buying a cook book and reading the information lol. but its like theyre obssessed with it. but there aremother things like how it lowers IQ n kills brain cells, from radiation. you also dont see the time fly when watching tv. THEYRE ALL BLEEDING FOR THE "ENTITY OF WAVELENGTHS!" lol
uh.... you're obviously misinformed. While Haake tends to write the majority of the more recent lyrics, Fredrik and Jens wrote alot on this record and a few other albums.... Tomas took over when they went all progressive.
what do the lyrics mean to you? i mean to me its quite obvious...even the video kinda tells ya its about the effects of TV lol theres static which looks like someone is changing channels, or "selecting illusions". you get wavelengths from tv or what they use in the song "devine screens, radiate us now, your blessing..." but fair enuff you can relate it to whatever ya feel like, im not stopping you lol i just like to find the real meaning to their lyrics, cuz tomas haake is very good lyricist.
Yeah, its about T.V. I love the part where he says "Oceans of sewage continually pushing into our minds", and its even more true now than it was in '95 when they wrote this, because t.v. is even purer filth now.
yea the metaphors that Tomas can come off with are fuckin immense. yea it would be more true now, than it wouldve been back in 95. so i agree. but yea at least someone agrees with me and can read between the lines. cheers! lol
