Fuck what a good interview! I like the energy that Tomas transmits. He seems like a very humble guy. And the ironic tone of the interview makes it all more surreal and fun. Thanks!
13:19 Devin sings on Planet of the Apes "while we all have lots of bands who influence still, we all rip off meshugga". Devin needs to see this segment so he knows, that it also worked the other way around ;)
Hearing Thomas say that SYL "is one of the best metal bands that ever existed, man" is music to my ears. 100% agree. Wish Dev would get the band back togedder for an encore album!
I'm glad Devin has started to play some SYL on his live shows again. I know their albums are fueled with rage and he doesn't really like reminiscing on that period of his life but maybe he can look back at the good times too and the Great music that was born through his turmoil. I love SYL too but I don't think they'll ever record something again
@@thewildhealer541 Yeah, I've heard him say those things, as well. Sad for us as consumers of their brilliant efforts! Totally understand the sentiment. Songs are a journey and vibe revisitation into who you were when you wrote them, and he doesn't want to retread that ground. Lot of angst, rage, and gorgeous fury :) I'd settle for a reunion tour playing 20 song sets! ;)
This is absolutely brilliant Philipp. I sincerely hope you can do more of these. Sick a great concept, and Thomas is a super good sport for being the first. Well done.
Alex 'The Brutalizer' Marquez! One of my favorite drummers too! That Solstice album rips! His work in Malevolent Creation, Demolition Hammer and Resurrection is legendary too!
Tribe was peak Tommy/Sadist. NOTHING sounds like Tribe, it's timeless. Crust was ok, had its moments but was meh...Saw them live in Italy in the smallest club just before Crust came out, one of the first gigs with the Crust line-up. To this day, probably the coolest, most inspiring and energetic gig I've been to. Tribe's songs were just the highlight of the set-list. And Desert Divinities.
@@AncientEvil80 Oh I know Tribe, don't get me wrong. It's a fantastic album. What I'm trying to say is that I think Crust is underrated, it's a super weird and dark album, and I love weird and dark. Would have loved to see them back then!
Thanks for the very good content! The Sadist drummer who recorded Crust is Oinos , if you check the band Thy Nature you will hear some great stuff from the early 90s, way before polyrhythms became cool 😊
I've seen a million people claim "This band sounds like Meshuggah" about a million different bands, this is the first time I actually agree. Thanks for introducing me to Coprofago!
Just getting into this newest episode....SOLSTICE?!?!? Alex Marquez...Malevolent Creation....I was totally "Transmogrified"....can't wait to delve further!!! 😈 🤘
Moin ! ich hatte genau den selben Moment und Platte. Solstice waren mein Teil meiner Auswahl für Parties und zuhause. Um genau zu sein, "ICH ZAHL NIHCT MEHR": Solstice, Hexx BIRDS OF PREY (listened to the most love that kind of trash prog, unique till today), Immortal, Demolition Hammer, Hypocrisy, and also heavy rotating, of course, what a songbuildup always: SINISTER (if i forgot a good track sorry) OK EDIT: Pungent Stench ! I was 10 years old and i only got this cd because i borrowed some older kids my first cd i ever bought: Morgoth Odium and the party they brought that to was in a place where you have to nail things on the floor or they will be stolen (if you were new to the bunch. or not "that place" enough), so i got compensated with BELIAL (finnish death metal still listen to it) and ICH ZAHL NIHCT MEHR, which in the internet free world of 1994 was a good way to get an overview over other styles you might like + the booklet was stuffed with Band logoes and the newest releases in extreme metal, almost a 101 of death metal at this time, seconds before death metal will "die". Yet the Odium was handpicked in a cd battle in the store "against" morbid angel covenant, which wasnt as "earcandy" for my young ears, as the Odium and almost flat sounding, the "ear candy" bit would be the addition "depressive" in todays world i guess, so it was missed anyway.
Hey Philip! Thanks to you and Haake for the awesome interview session! I asked a couple years back but I gotta ask again, u wouldn't happen to have anymore t-shirts come in from drumtalk? Thanks again!!
howdy! thanksalot for the comment... well, still no drumtalk shirts in the pipeline 'cause I simply cannot imagine how anyone out there (myself inlcuded and I actually own one!) would wear such a thing -- except for you obviously 😊 😊😊 But in case I might ever have some extra money lying around one day I promise I'll think about it
Oh wow! I just saw Jason Avery from Monstrosity a little while back coming out of a Publix in Tampa. He worked at Mean Machine Tattoo shop with the dude that inked me (RIP) back around 2001-02. He’s a Super nice guy 🤟😁🤘 Hope he sees this video.
i would even go as far as saying that solstice thanks to their technical playing, mid cut, level of distortion but clarity of sound.. almost in isolation of meshuggah created a blue print for the famous destroy erase sound/flair. 7:49
@@filheim Marquez's doublebass speed is almost identical in speed and execution to the "brakedown" part on song one on DEI.. that weird speed of the guitars when you barely realize how the phrasing is because its masked by the speed aso. and yes, i think so too but its a sound very specifically engineered to suit the shuggs style.. a mid heavy sound with reverb on the drums would make the songs wishy washy imo
Glad to see Tomas reaction to Coprofago . There is another Chilean band you might wanna check if you dig Coprofago you can check "octopus" which is also in a similar branch of prog/metal. Coprofago never denied their Meshuggah influence. You can see members of coprofago covering one of my fav Meshuggah songs here:ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dbqayK82aW0.html
If you search for Coprofago's video for Chaos ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yuPGW5LigH4.html ) 17 years ago there is a comment posted by MESHUGGAH themselves (or their youtube community manager, but probably was Marten or Jens ahahaha) that says " you guys sound *NOTHING* like meshuggah. jeez....lål" which it was a clear compliment and wholesome comment to drop on a very underground amazing chilean band. Some people missed the entire joke and took it as an offense, which clearly highlights how unfamiliar they are with Meshuggah's entire catalog or at that point in time, their NOTHING album.
Have you tried to get Chris Adler on drum talk? I really do think you'd get an interesting insight perspective of deep roots as opposed to of what we know how he became to me Now with Firstborne but still
hey hey, sure thing I did, a couple of times to be exact with both LOG & Megadeth. But unfortunately it didn't happen back then. Same with Vinnie Paul and a bunch of other drummers....
18:00 considering changing our name to The Schizophrenics. BTW here’s the whole schizophrenic track: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vYuATCid4Rk.htmlsi=EGPHPAn5-Riw6epV
It always fascinating to me how people talk about Chaosphere. That album and Nothing changed my life, and then I bought everything that Meshuggah has. It's never about the raw sound - with Chaosphere, the entire album (with the exception of Internal Machinery of Torture) is in 4, and the way that they use rhythms on that album has never been topped - maybe by Obzen, but certainly not from another band. Chaosphere is incredible, and it's a shame that they won't play anything from that album anymore, but they have nothing to prove at this point. None of their albums suck. Not one.
@@drumtalkofficial It means you kinda look like Johnny Depp hahaha! Well, more like 50% Depp and 50% short-haired Peter Tagtgren. Ask your friends if you don't believe me :D Nice video!!!
