While on a trip through Sweden I teamed up with Meshuggah's Tomas Haake to pay Morgan Ågren a visit at his place. After dinner Morgan showed us his studio and his uncommon drum setup. thanks to Morgan for the subtitles!!!

One very dark, heavy and with sharp edges, precise geometry the other more colorful with lots of wavy figures and a lot of blending and merging, yet still with a very strong punch.

To all the professors that try to decypher and institutionalize Meshuggah's music: it's just plain old communication and training between 5 dudes that love technical and brutal stuff. One tells the other to try something out and the other will learn it until they get it right just like the other one imagined it. It's interesting that all of them love to communicate composition for any type of instrument vocally. xD I realized this over the years, when ever they communicated ideas in an interview or casual recording they started to use rhythmic, non-verbal vocals. :D

@sheppfun They slightly oversimplify it though. Sure it's in the 4/4 grid but the "odd phrasings" is used more for polyrythms, but when it overlaps the 4/4 bar it's a polymeter. Sure the 4/4 is dominant but essentially it's usually 2 time signatures being blended and made to groove.
@Consural5 жыл бұрын
God, it drives me crazy how humble they always are. And I know that they are just being honest, and it makes me even madder. We know this stuff seems "normal" to you, but there is not a single metal band on earth that even comes close to Meshuggah in terms of complexity and virtuosity, while still being groovy and melodically pleasing. You're not "professors" Tomas, you're "gods". You might not necessarily be calculating everything, but what you put out is genius, and that's what matters.

Haake: "Yeah I've heard soo many weird things about us and the band; we're 'professors' (of instruments), I mean c'mon..." Hehe. They just think on another level. Isn't it amazing that people have written dissertations on their music though, all fascinating to me to read (and vids). While many others find them "boring" - Meshuggah's music is definitely not for everyone, even for metalheads. But I like that, we fans tend to listen closer to those that are different, and I get why people write about them and analyze their music, its soo much more than just listening a few times or chocking them up to just a djent or groove metal band.
