The math behind 'FUTURE BREED MACHINE' 

Thanks for having me, Yogev! I've been a fan of your channel for a long time. One of the few I can consistently count on for both education and entertainment. Much love! (even if you fumbled how old the song is) ❤️

This song coming out in 1995 is crazy. They were so far ahead of their time it’s like if Slayer came out in 1968.

Demiurge leading into future breed machine is the best encore I have ever experienced

Little anecdote for the scene lovers :) Bart (Textures guitarist) and I (Textures drummer) were in same class at highschool. By accident Bart got a sampler from Nuclear Blast somwhere in 1994 with some NB bands on it. One of them was Meshuggah with a unreleased demo of track of Suffer in Truth. Being 13 year old guys, Bart directly discovered something 'funny' was going on here. He really got me into it by telling about the song, although we didn't really figure out what was going on with all that polyrhythm vibe (we just got into metal with Sepultura's Arise and Deicide's Legion - which is a really proggy death metal album by the way). Later on a friend of ours bought the album Destroy Erase Improve in may 1995 directly when it was released. I remember listening to it the first time. Future Breed Machine really got me by the balls directly, but I got really hooked with Soulburn and Inside What's Within Behind. Super paradigm shift there for me!! The world upside down...suddenly. Well...this good friend Elwin Dekkers also asked me to go to their gig in de Blokhut, Rotterdam, as they were supporting for Hypocrisy. So we did, in 1995. There were just 100 people or so in the venue and....almost everybody walked away after hearing one song of Meshuggah. It was really too much for all those death metal guys haha. Actually...it was also a bit too much for us as well. We stayed with a few others, but didn't have the slightest clue what was REALLY going on on stage hahaha. Legendary evening! But me a whole bunch of friends then got really into the Swedes....especially the EP None blasted our speakers non stop. Later on Chaosphere. Most funny thing for me is Meshuggah and Textures came up with the same riff at the same time, later on. What became known as the Bleed riff is also our bridge riff in Old Days Born Anew from album Silhouettes. Released at the same time as Meshuggah's Obzen. We built tons and tons of memories on the music of Meshuggah. And we improved our skills waaaaay beyond because of those lads. Still..I'm 43 now. We supported for Meshuggah on our welcome back show here in the Netherlands, 2 months ago, for a few thousand people. 20 years after we supported for them in Melkweg, Amsterdam on their Nothing tour. Insane! The story carries on it seems. Lots more anecdotes to tell about all this...but for now.... Ciao, Stef - Textures

Two Time Consuming episodes in a week? Hell yeah!

29 years later and this track still has some of the absolute top teir headbanger grooves.

9:00 this part has such a subtle change but it adds a TON. It's like they're crushing you more and more

João also has some Carbomb covers and I would LOVE to see you breakdown some more of their material. I feel like you would get a kick out of their song "Spirit of poison".

In light of how Joao got that tone (which is super close to the record), its really interesting to me that Destroy Erase Improve was recorded using Mesa Dual Recs, which are notorious for their flubby low end. They must have boosted the ever living crap out of the signal into the amp.

I am so pumped that MAYshuggah is back. Best month of the year

I went into this video thinking this song was much more simple than others, maybe because it's their early work and I have listened to it so many times that I know it by memory, but I am amazed at how intrincate this riffs are. This band continues to surprisme me after so many years. Also, amazing video!

I love this album's style, this is what I wish they still sounded like. The faster, more aggressive sound they had back then was so unique

Ooh, an I Am Colossus teaser at the end! An awesome job on FBM here by you two djentlemen.

I didn't expect João to be here! A pleasant surprise for sure.

Still my favorite Meshuggah track. While earlier on in their career, it's still just so accessible, yet showcases their intense creativity along with some top-tier headbanging material. Bravo Yogev, I truly enjoyed every second of this video

The collaboration I didn't know I needed, but I now appreciate being alive to see

Humiliative + FBM back to back this year was insane. So glad I went to 3 shows in Europe. Also all of those videos never cease to remind you how insanely good those guys are on their instruments. When they play it live it looks like it's nothing else then casually cutting onions and carrots while cooking. Sure they've been playing it for 30 years now, but still. Meshuggah forever 🤘🏼

Nasty Riff is actually the same as Riff 2 but skipping the first three 16th - with accents on gtr2 🤯 Great job as always, Yogev ! 🔥🤘

João’s guitar tone sounds almost exactly like the record, unless it is the record itself. Idk, I’m a little over halfway through the video, so I don’t know yet. Either way, I’ve seen João’s covers of some of Thornhill’s stuff, and damn does he get that tone super close to the actual record, and is an awesome guitarist. Yogev, your genius mind is a curse! Lmao

I'm not a father, but I know for certain that having my first child, holding them in my arms would be the second happiest day of my life behind Yogev finally breaking down Future Breed Machine.

Congrats on the joao medeiros collab

Can't wait! Still my favourite song!

João is a legend.. great video as always

Crazy stuff! All hail Meshuggah 🤘 Kudos to you guys for breaking it down and enlightening us with all the madness happening in the song!

Cool to see Joao here. His cover are great!

I love this series. I will never get bored of rhythmic breakdowns of complicated songs!

wow and joao its here too, thast amazing

It's crazy that they recorded this album with no click. That surely gives alot of intensity.

Bro yogev just having nolly as a patron is a ridiculous flex

12:50 That's why it sounds like a different song when they slowed it down for Future Breed Machine(Mayhem Version).

You literally gave me math class flashback

I remember my former drummers brother introducing me to them in 1996 and I've been a fan ever since

I love that yogev is making videos again! And even better with collabs ✌️

fuck yes Yogev, I love you! Mayshuggah is the best

Going through a shitty time and your content is grounding. Great content as always.

João's the best.

It's just crazy I first found you on an Berklee Indian Ensemble video years ago, and loved your playing. Then you some how became my metal theory instructor.. haha I'm glad you're back, and love and appreciate all of the research and time you take to do this.

Man i love that snare

Future Breed Machine is one of my all time favorites

Fun to add that in that tripletty riff at 10:14 the riff changes from a 2:3 polyrhythm perspective (quarter note triplets) at the first part to a 3:4 polyrhythm at the second. In the first part you play 3 notes over 2 beats (and that is why you land on a third beat over the 4 note) and in the second part you play 4 notes over 3 beats (and that is why you fill the 3 beats that the riff is caged into). I think this way to analyse it is so cool.

You wait nearly a year for a new Time Consuming video, and then two come along at once! Back with a vengeance Yogev!

Couldn't click this faster. I think it's the only song (and the album of course) that I can say changed my life. I searched for years after anything similar and couldn't find it. Wasn't until many years later I realized how unique and ahead of its time Meshuggah was.

"dentist-inspired guitar solo" lmao I'm fucken dead

god i love this song. great video!

Contradiction Collapse(None), Destroy Erase Improve and Chaosphere are hella underrated. Thank you for Mayshuggah, Yogev, loving every episode of it!

Was literally looking for it a day ago, crazy timing love it

Dude i’ve been waiting on this😂

I loved the very serious display of you being a "drummer" in the corner pop out. 😅

So glad you‘re back with mayshuggah ♥️

the triplets section absolutely blew my brain wide open - no wonder i couldn't get the feel right! thank you so much for this, yogev!

I feel like João's contribution to this video really elevated it to new heights. This is my favourite video of yours!

When Destroy Erase Improve dropped it was the only thing I listened to for weeks.

Really psyched to see you and Joao collab ! Looking forward to checking all of Mayshuggah videos

This video was both adorable and helpful.

I just love the quality of these videos. i truly appreciate the work that goes into these and they always deliver! also the collaboration with João is a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one :)

Thank you.

Very coool ! Meshuggah rules. I saw them march 2024 in Bilbao, and when they began this song, I lost a shoe !!! Legends. Very well done Yogev ! Mayshuggah rules too ! Thanks for spending time for us ;)

meshuggah-wise this is a feel-good rocker for a sunny day in spring. Straight forward and compact, love it!

I came for the grooves, but stayed for the laughs 😄

Amazing work as always man, i hope you explain Violent Sleep of Reason on day, keep up the good work.

Man, you've come back strong. This is awesome!

you should totally make a video on the tony danza tapdance extravaganza

Thank you for doing this.

Great stuff as always! :)

Yogev, you´re like the Rosetta stone to the meshuggah lenguage. Amazing work, as always. Thank you very muNch!🤘

סרטון מדהים ושיר מטורף, תמשיך עם עבודת הקודש /m\

Yogev giving us life again. 🤩

A wild Joao appears! That was pleasantly unexpected!

Yes! I needed this episode. You rock Yogev \m/

1:38 ok that was perfect

OMG I love that your are back, please keep going

So much work and dedication! Have been a huge Meshuggaj fan since Future Breed Machine. I love this band so much

Yesss keep em coming 🫡🫡

Yes! Another run down!

the crossover i didnt expect hahaha amazing job Joao ps: yogev should sub to joao

Awesome breakdown of a fantastic song!

wake up babe, mayshuggah video just dropped

Filthy riff, mega cool riff, nasty break... love your naming convention 😁🤟

Super cool as always!

My favorite meshuggah song got even more favorite. I always thought it was more simple because it's easy to listen to and headbang. Thank you Yogev!

Hope we all can ignore our problems away and enjoy mayshuggah

This was a fun ep’!! P.S. I like the title screen

Damn! I can't believe that a whole year has passed and now we finally got the season two of Mayshuggah! fuck yeah yooogev

That’s 29 years ago, Yogev!

Your intro is too good.

masterfully crafted

I love your videos . Really amazing. I wish I could jam with you 🤘.

O MY GOODNESS ITS YOGEV

the triplets shifted to duplets (all in a hard staccato 7/4 riff) is one of my favorite parts of any Meshuggah song. Also feel like the song structure doesn't get enough praise, it's basically a pop-song structure with verses, choruses, bridges, etc. but on fuckin crack: Intro - chaos break - verse - mini chorus - verse - main chorus - bridge (intro riff) - solo section - build - big extended breakdown - breakdown bridge? - modified breakdown bridge? - chaos break - mini chorus - main chorus - outro (intro riff) Most of their songs are just awesome riff 1, awesome riff 2, etc. but this is way more involved, imho the best song they've ever made.

For all who like to follow the numbers in half time speed, I recommend the Mayhem-Version from their "True human design" (and of course the super cool campfire-Version) 🙂

YOGEV AND JOAO LIFE IS COMPLETE

"Dentist inspired solo" is so good

amazing man, thank you for analyse this one! /m/

Wow two of my favorite internet people in one video.

6:48 Me when I'm agreeing with something my mom is saying (but secretly, I'm listening to Meshuggah in my head)

Welcome back

Next week is I am colossus 😮

Crossover event of the century!

אח שלי אתה מטורף

Обалдеть, одна из самых любимых моих песен Meshuggah была разобрана по мелочам... Как ты вообще это услышал?!?!?!
