MESHUGGAH - Konstrukting the Koloss [PART 1] 

FREDERIK THORDENDAL Can keep time in 17/16 can't count scoops of coffee

so weird to hear haake actually speak his own native language lol

Can't believe this album is about to be 10 years old

All this stress about workflow in the studio, man they sound fine however they do it. American studio videos are like watching a cooking show, these guys are like a medical procedure.

I think it's amazing that they sound like English is their first language.

I like how they all have beards

its funny how different their voices are, when speaking swedish, thinking about how they sound in english

Tomas Haake is too cool for school. Love that guy

*talking about signiture stuff* "They were kind enough to make me my own sticks, so it'd be weird if I didn't use them." Yet Fredrik has a sig. DAR AMP!, AND an Axe FX II, and doesn't use EITHER.

If Meshuggah released an hour long album of just the input sound at 6:19, some people would still go crazy for it.

5:36 Fredrik: I lose count when making coffee...but he can play all the meshuggah riffs and rhythms... :)

Not playing together before recording is insane. true talent. the best metal band, bar none.

They almost never repeat traditional song structure... In fact, you'd be pretty damn impressive if you could cover them all the way through even one song.

The entire composition is being played against a 4/4 pulse, but the individual parts tend to absolutely be polymetric. Not quite the same.

you really think they use complicated time signatures? YOU PEOPLE STILL THINK THIS?!?! sigh...you don't understand their music at all ....

I think Swedes learn English the way we learn French. The only difference being that they actually learn it. You see it with a lot of the Swedish hockey players; almost no accent. The other thing is, when you listen to Swedish, the actual sounds that make up the words are not all that different from English and neither are the rhythms.

Tomas Haake has so much composure while playing

2:19 'Marrow' this pumps me up for work every morning.

1:48 *If there is any chance, I would love to buy one of their personal guitars hanging on the wall.*

In my opinion y'all motherlovers blew the target off the map!! Meshuggah is the best metal band!! Besides the one in my head!!

The album is killer, as expected.

Thank you sir for uploading this.

Demiurge leaves a serious explanation point on this record.

Coming back from Immutable and The Violent Sleep Of Reason, I miss the guitar tones (and mix-master) of Koloss so much :(

i just whish they would go back to their older tones, Nothing, Obzen and so on. Now, their guitars are lacking high frequencies imho

6:09 tube amp snobs TRIGGERED

7:44 ayoo? o_O what's that flag top right of the screen lmao

Interesting, is the vst pluggin was a final guitartone, or it was reamped after?

I've just started listening to Meshuggah. Why is this album so different from the others? Everybody can saying that.

At 8:44 I was doing for Jens the scream that just trails off

Sucks to see the confederate flag in mårtens palace.

I really like the band "Meshuggah" my favorite member is Harpo. I think there's a Harpo. If not, there should be. I think I'll write their next hit song, "A-boop boop chicka chicka boop boop - A-boop-boop. A-chicka chicka boop boop."

Late af, i know. But are they simply using the fractal as an audio interface to re-amp, and all the actual tones were just Cubase sims?? 😕

Well, for it not being "what they aimed for", it turned pretty fucking well tbh.

They're all kinda old and bearded-ish. They're...officially...WIZARDS.

@jackobthesnakob IKEA

Anyone knows whats the pluggin they are using for guitars?

6:22 UUUGH!...aaah.

8:44 i started looking around for my phone..

Nice system

im 99% sure it was The Hurt That Finds You First, just because its so different to the other songs and so off the cuff simple in structure, it seems like the one most likely to have been jammed on the spot

That*s already 10 Years ago?! WTF?! Where has Time gone?!

Mårten has a confederate flag in his room?

He's one of the founders of DAR amps, dude!

Swedes claim that? Oh you must mean a few you've seen on RU-vid which for you = represents the majority lol:)

I've always wondered what that first song that they wrote together was...anybody know?

man, you're right. I was thinkin' about the background soundtrack. There is a Meshuggah song called "Ayahuasca Experience", which is contained in "Rare Trax". never heard of Ayahuasca visions. I misunderstood the comment.

Masters

Odd to think Vikings stopped invading and started writing metal.

I don't know much about tempos, but they seem to go out of usual, when it comes to repeat the same section (usually 4 times). Kinda messes up with my head. Find it hard to cover some songs

It is SO WEIRD hearing Thomas speaking English. He has NO discernable accent, atleast to my Canadian self. Cool!

Steinberg Cubase 6 - VST Amp Rack

i am mostly blown away by the fact they just use Steinberg plugins for guitars... man I thought they were just 'hey we threw in some amp sims an shit for the program... but use something else' kinda thing. my life is a lie

"playing a loop of 17 - 16th notes over a 4/4 drum rhythm" my apologies for lack of specificity.

1:55 oh god give me that banner in the background!

8.55 that sounded awesome !

That can be explained by the reason for making coffee: LACK OF COFFEE!

he makes coffee the way he plays music, by feel and other worldly intuition :D

4:29 that's not an Ibanez, what is that guitar?

Biggest lie in the universe, even though it's true.

Any idea what's the mixing console on they studios?

2:46 note to myself

not at all

He probably has to do a bit of counting

why wouldnt you have two hi hats?

Cubase is replacing protools. Finally.

Does anyone know which tune on the album is the one they wrote in the studio?

Thanks!

Was thinking the same thing.

Roland triggers

It's all just polyrhythms man

Someone tell him that Event BAS 20/20 monitor at 7:17 is designed to stand upright. ;)

adam02 needs to redub this

great,...thz a lot.

It's part of their sound.

137/0 METAL RULES.

*keeps* saying that. . .

"Demiurge"

3:48 edition fail lol
