Instrumentally this is one of the coolest sounding fucking bands ever. The singing is awesome too, but fuck. The heaviness of the instruments alone is just amazing.
one of the best Meshuggah songs. I love this re-issued version slower and heavier with those 8 strings going. Need more of this shit in future! Same thing with the re-issue of D.E.I.
@ErraticReviews Just checked your channel and had a listen to Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza, never heard of them before! Honestly, they literary just blew my mind away! :) Great stuff!
@LWRCftw except for the breakdown in catch thirty three right after the soundtrack to my failure part. I still believe that might be the world's best breakdown in sense of utter heaviness.
@xNewAeonx I know, right? Meshuggah's an addiction for which the only cure is More Meshuggah. If I could die, I would die happy. Too bad Meshuggah causes permanent life, in which the polar opposite is Chuck Norris..
I believe the official name of the genre meshuggah is in is Technical Death Metal. But to be blatently honest, who could truly put a genre on Meshuggah. It's the most strange yet most brutal band i know of.
@Demanufactur3 i've heard it been called djent. i think that's the official title of this genre. along with bands like periphery and animals as leaders.... but who gives a shit
Djent stands for the tone of the guitars (Medium to high gain) and leaked over to what some people believe is a genre, my earlier statement wasn't completely correct however. Meshuggah can be put in many genre's depending on the album. (Here come a few genre's they'd fit into)
Trash (first album) Post-trash death (second album) Technical death metal, Avantgarde/death metal and ofcource! Heavy func (snap* snap*) (okay i might have made that last one up)
@mittensandfobeo no djent is just a term used to describe the sound of the guitars because of the high gain and really low tunings. Meshuggah and Animals as Leaders are Progressive Metal
@nemesiskorn I mean I'm a huge Acacia Strain fan, as I think they totally dominate their genre, but Meshuggah is in a league of their own. Glad I'm a big fan of both bands, and that I can appreciate TAS's Meshuggah influence.
But I realize TAS is hit or miss with people, sorry you think they sucked lol.
NO!!! don't listen to those idiots, they have no idea what they're talking about. they take the standard tuning on an 8 string guitar and tune it a half step down. watch?v=rR7qSHp2-lo they even explain in this video, they don't tune to drop d, that would mean just having the e string or the f# string tuned down one whole step and the rest of the strings remain the same. it goes F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb. that's the tuning that they use.
continuing: well, unless they're talking about this song exclusively, and now that i think about it they probably are. i know that the lowest string in this song is in Eb and that's a whole step down from what they usually do.
@Meinfuss1 I don't like doom metal bands, but somehow I love slow low tuned songs like this, maybe I'm just weird, or I wanna create a new music style, MANLY DOOM METAL! I don't know...
This song sounds like the guitars were tuned down to the brown noise to play it. Great song, though, one of my favorites on perhaps my favorite album.
Meshuggah normally plays a half step down on 8 string guitars (F-Bb-Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb). However this song, as well as a few others from the Nothing album are in Drop Eb (Eb-Bb-Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb). Yet, Spasm takes the cake with it's ultra low Bb0 tuning (Bb-F-Bb-Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb)...essentially the LOW Bb is the same pitch as taking the lowest string on a 5 string bass (B0), and tuning it down a half step.
With just over 1.3 billion people (1,330,044,605 as of mid-2008), China is the world's largest and most populous country.
As the world's population is approximately 6.7 billion, China represents a full 20% of the world's population so one in every five people on the planet is a resident of China.
China's population growth has been somewhat slowed by the one child policy, in effect since 1979.
i know they have tuned down to and octave below Eb, but i always read it stayed in a standard tuning progression, but i could have read a lie, so either or maybe.
i've seen some guys arguing about the grooviest riff from meshuggah, i think every song is sick... every single one... is pure groove
