I like that breakdown at 0:00-6:05 !!!!

'I hate this shed, you hate this shed'

The only band in the world that reached that level of brutality, complexity, intelligence.and power. You're a miracle, thank you.

Whoever was the sound engineer deserves an award.

3:10 is perhaps until this day, one of the hardest hitting grooves I have heard in my life.

I would love to see a Prog-Metal fest featuring Tool, Meshuggah, Mastadon, and Opeth!

meshuggah is inequitably the MOST influential band in metal today...maybe ever

Once I got into the bands I'm into now (especially Meshuggah), I realised that there was no point trying to write music again because there is nothing anyone can do to beat this. It's just defeat in it's finest form. Fucking epic win.

At 3:10 I prolapsed.

A truly unique band. Nobody sounds like them and I doubt few others could play this stuff let alone write it.

So i saw Meshuggah with Ministry at the Hollywood House of Blues. Meshuggah finished their set and before Ministry came out, Jens Kidman was standing next to the Meshuggah merch booth. I approched him and introduced myself. I thanked him for the great show they had put on, and for the music they had released for all of us to enjoy. I extended my hand as an affirmative hand shake good-bye......it was as limp as a wet noodle. Fucking broke my heart. I still love them though.

3:07 CHILLS CHILLS THE FUCKING CHILLS

meshuggah is the only band that can actually make me stop in place, frozen in pure...i don't know how to explain...i'm not even headbanging during the breakdown, i'm in a complete trance

5:42 I can't believe that he looks BORED after palying this song. This guy is a machine/

The real question is were you there in 2002 when these guys opened for TOOL? Best show I've ever went to.

Their live sounds is uncannily good ! soo good.

Sounds just like the studio version, they always play their songs dead on target, almost no flaws \m/

seen them live once, if you think this sounds good, your ears are gonna spew rainbown when your actually there, the snare was like a gunshot to my head, every single hit...

I saw them at Dour, was BY FAR the most wicked hour of my life, let alone the best concert. My friend, get ready to experience something wild...

I was at the Toronto show on this tour and still the best show I’ve ever fucking seen

It doesn't get much heavier than this, this and Spasm are two of the heaviest songs.

that breakdown around 3:30 gives me chills everytime

that end piece just blows my mind with harmony!

masters, we bow to you

that end riff just burst my brain with total harmony! It just cant be played loud enough, !

Ah man I love that ending riff.

@mmmcculloch3 You're so right man. When I went to see my first Meshuggah gig I was half expecting the low-tuned stuff to sound flabby and muddy, but both the playing and the live sound engineering were flawless. The later shows I've seen were again crystal clear, so it's not just great on the DVD. Pretty amazing...

OMFG!! Meshuggah is the only band which makes headbanging difficult!

Meshuggah is actually cooler than Tool in my opinion!

The downpitched moan of collapsing...... DREAMS

@tolisdrums I know for the newer 8 string stuff, the bass is actually tuned up so it's playing the exact same notes as the guitar generally. The scale length of the bass and thickness of the strings and pickups gives it such a different sound. With old songs I imagine he uses a 5 string tuned down a half step to Bb

i like how these guys have breakdowns with grooves in them

2:37 The face of a genius.

3.10... das dooooombrett aller zeiten.

This song just makes me trip out every time i hear it slow and devastatingly heavy got to love it!

this is probably the best dvd i've ever purchased. the audio CD is superb quality too

Wow, the ending riff is such a trip!

@fokbo absolutly right.... awesome song and band...

those god damn heavy palm mutes...

Is it just me or has anybody else noticed the perfect coordination between the appearance of the picture on the camera display and the beat on the hi-hat???

One of my favorite Meshuggah songs :)

@SlaveOfNihil never noticed til your comment....too lost in the music...but yeah..haha..beyond amazing they never stop clanging. Meshuggah is like literally being inside of a musically harmoneous math problem that has frustrated scientists for years.

masters, we bow to you, in rhythmic sync of course

Sounds like the studio version.. Incredible

why the second guitar player didn't play the clean part in the middle part? i love that part so much.. whatever.. they did it great

Fuckin Meshuggah. They are just metal Gods. That's it.

'I hate this shed, you hate this shed'....

If they play it as part of their set list of course, They didn't play it the first show in Sydney last year. But they did on the 2nd show =] and yes, it was perfect

3:05 it just got real!!!

with these guys is like learning how to play again

This is the best shit on this planet we call earth. Big up to Meshuggah and prog metal in general.

I just caught a glimpse of the center...

@stewartbarnes15 It's in my top 5 of favorites riffs EVER... No words to describe the power of that tune.

3:10 Commence Man's Heaviest Musical Endavour! For optimal experience put volume on max, set video to full screen and start it at 2:32

@LINKENSSPHERE yeah that one sounds great. i'm not saying they're bad musicians from a harmonic/melodic perspective, they just choose to focus on rhythm most of the time.

These guys are sick!..I don't care what anybody says, this band throws down every fucking time... To me that's what makes metal what it is... the idea of going all out every fucking time... If you don't get it you're not metal.. and there's nothing wrong with that... We'd rather not see people who are not metal and are not down with going all out at a Meshuggah concert anyways... BTW... Did I mention that these guys are sick?

@bothgergely Dude, they're probably the most important current metal band.

@m4j0rbumm3r Saw them live at Brutal Assault in the Czech Republik. Pretty much the hole festival suffered from bad sound. Only Meshuggah refused to play, 'til everything was well mixed, took about 15-20 min extra time, before they could start. Worth every second, totally agree with you, one of the greatest live-sounds I've ever heard :)

@tinita041987 Dehumanization has the heaviest breakdown (IMO)

@Zozol6 Hell yeh. Its actually not apocalyptic in a way. But, if you can agree with me, All the songs on "ObZen" have lyrics that seem to Personify Death and Evil in a very Terrifying and ominous fashion. The song lyrics on "Catch 33" seem to personify a person thoughts, a person who is trapped in insanity and paradoxes "Chaosphere", the songs in chaosphere seem to actually be from perspectives of the Common-choatic-destructive nature of humankind. Meshuggah is shakespeares cyborg.

@LfunkeyA the end of straws pulled at random is pretty good imo.

The Mexican Army uses this song for training purposes.

MESH MESH!!!!!

@MrProg Yup, in a little card, and when you open it up every triplet from his drums and every Yell from Jens BLASTS out. Kinda dangerous if you think about it.

@LfunkeyA When i listen I'm glad there is a purposeful removal of the extra linearity that melody implies. For me the rhythms gain more perspectives, because there's one less thing enforcing the rhythm and you can pick and choose different flows or grooves whatever. Change it up every time you listen to it

If you upgrade your Drum Programming Software version, they mail you Tomas Haake

@BloodDrunk17 so true this may be my favorite song off the dvd jens vocals are just brutal!

@fokbo I could listen to that section all day.

I would say that this whole song reeks of impending doom, not only between 3:10 - 3:50.... Idd the soundtrack to the end of all things... So damn dark...

i wanna see them soooo badddddddd

simply the best!! \m/

I like how the guy at 4:44 feels music. Forget headbanging, bring on bugger digging.

2011 FALL USA TOUR!? NEW CD WILL BE OUT AROUND THEN!!!!!

yep just saw that, so gonna be there :D

"This one's called Lethargica!! "

@mmmcculloch3 Seriously, the tone is spot on. Amazing.

The drums sound weak, but the guitars and bass sound exactly like off the record! Amazing.

I love how they play it even slower live......Lethargicaaaaa. Perfectly named track

@JIMMYmetalhead it's so awesome!

soooooooooooooooo heavy

@LfunkeyA haha, i didn't say anything bro. but eitherway, Cynic will always be the best harmonic/melodic band to me, it's just that to me there's never been a better time to listen to them! :D

SOOOOOOO MUUUUUUUUCH GROOOOOOOOOVE!

Floating head ... sooooooooo flooooooooooo aaatttt ..... Innggggg

@mannotaurable Yeah at times Meshuggah almost has a jazzy/fusion approach to their sound. Them avoiding typical song structures and sections is intentional.

@stewartbarnes15 That riff is the riff to end all riffs...i don't care who you that riff will fucking devastate anything lol

3:09 HERE COMES THE HEAVY PART, BRO~~~!

@ThrashMetalMan1 haha absolutely!

@BloodDrunk17 Actually it does now. This stuff is acquired taste. Only for a chosen few. Like us.

If Meshuggah were in a room together with Awesome, Awesome would leave with hanging shoulders.

@LfunkeyA haha, but seriously though, we all have to agree that the end of dehumanization is the most tittyripping composition anyone has ever came up with! xD

I don't know man. Shed was a pretty good song.

@pauhell not again, but against... everything!!! ;)

@matbell Yepp

@mare110823 also im sure everyone already has that shirt, and they knew that so they dropped it down so more people could get doubles to frame

@poratosk8r2 I have yearned to find someone else who laughs when a super epic heavy part comes. HAHAHA, good god

@LINKENSSPHERE yeah Cynic has some complex progressions, good stuff. i think when Meshuggah plays more melodic stuff it weirdly sounds jazzy.

I miss metal Boromir :(

They were in germany november 2012

you can tell his voice is getting a little raw at this point in the show. this must have been one of the later tracks

the main riff sound fucking lethargic.. bit like me in the morning after a few bowls.... lethargicore lmao!
