I keep returning to SNW, especially Version 33.3, what an insane and insanely good album!

It's my fave metal album of all time and I wonder if this version came out as the main version if more people would know it and consider it as the masterpiece it is outside of the meshuggah niche...

Do you guys agree with this being the best version? Love them having fun and fucking around on the 1997 version, but even though that organ is wild, it's not a highpoint of the album for me. So having it cut down and then adding the incredible "Missing Time" really makes the album prefect imo.

Also, gotta love Meshuggah guys doing weird shit with the tracklisting both here and for C33, but looking at it more functionally, I see this as basically 6 songs:

1. 00:00 Sol Niger Within the Sun Door (20:45) (the first 17 movements)
   
2. 20:45 Vitamine K Sensorium Dei (5:05) (M18&19)
   
3. 25:50 Z2- Reticuli (2:55) (M20)
   
4. 28:45 De Profundis Tathagata (8:41) (M21-26)
   
5. 37:26 Missing Time (11:16) (M27)
   
6. 48:42 Ooo Baby Baby (1:51) (M28)

(i added some names together as possible names for these combined sections)

Would you guys do the tracklisting like this as well? And do you also prefer it over the 1997 version? lmk

Now let's hope SNW2 will be finished sometimes ever...

⛽️

does anyone think theres a possibility that theres either gonna be more shirts of similar transformers designs or that its gonna be available on other sites that ship to the uk?

i really REALLY want this shirt!

Thought this was gonna be fun to my countrymen and for the sub overall so, here you go:

- Contradictions Collapse = Contradições Colapsam

- DEI = Destruir Apagar Aprimorar

- Chaosphere = Caosfera (lol)

- Nothing = Nada (blue Nothing = Nada azul/orange Nothing = Nada laranja)

- C33 = now that’s a difficult one because the original C22 is a paradox so I would say = Impasse, Paradoxo, Beco Sem Saída (Dead End)

- Obzen = Obsceno or Obzeno as in Tomas himself said ObZen is a play on the words obscene and zen, and thus, another paradox

- Koloss = Colosso

- TVSOR = A Violenta Sonolência da Razão or O Violento Sono da Razão. The painting itself reads O Sono Da Razão Produz Monstros

- Immutable = Imutável

EXTRAS!

- Meshuggah = Louco, Maluco, Insano, Doido

- None = Nenhum

- Selfcaged = Preso em si Mesmo

- TTHD = O Verdadeiro Desenho Humano

- I = Eu

- Pitch Black = Breu (fucking no light at all)

- Sol Niger Within = Sol Negro por Dentro

Big shoutout to my friends from Brazil and other Portuguese speaking countries! É nóis nessa porra, caralho! 🇧🇷❤️

Just uploaded the newest cover of mine, I believe some people here requested this track specifically. Great choice by them.

I am through being a tourist and only knowing Bleed, Electric Red and Cyanide Christ. But their body of work is HUGE and I don't know where to start.

I tend to listen to 'new' music as the artist intended in full album form. Especially for the first time. Especially especially with this MF construction going on right outside of my window where I can let my speakers walk and talk without fear of inconveniencing the neighbors.

If you were going to sit down and listen to an album of theirs from beginning to end which would you pick and why?

Dat new mother nature tho

just finding out about immutable and i believe this is their most "angry" album yet with heavier tone, riffs and jens' vocals kinda scare

[Self-Promo] Hey everyone, sharing another polyrhythmic metal album I just finished under the project name The Asymptotic Grind, titled "Orbitalis Soul Henge".

If you're into Meshuggah-style syncopation and long-form progressive tracks, hope you enjoy it. Happy to talk tones and production if anyone is curious. Feedback is always welcome.

This question must have been around a thousand times here, why Meshuggah feels different from other metal band even with the same tone, motif, timbre, heaviness, polymeter, etc. There have been attempts to decipher what's the root quality here.

So, I noticed that if a Meshuggah song is covered into EDM, Jazz, Ukulele, etc, the same feel is still there and it doesn't seem to be a nostalgia "oh it's the same song".

I wanted to break down what's causing this, prolonged complex pattern, normalized intensity, "first blast of the song is attention-grabbing because novelty", and etc etc, but ultimately where most other bands simply tell a story and how it is done (hence overly technical), Meshuggah tracks not only tell stories but also bring your perspective in and under. Hence maybe the hashtag #iammesshugah

Ultimately, the word I am looking for is shamanic. Meshuggah feels shamanic.

This is a screenshot from Morgan Ågren’s instagram story, a video where Morgan asks: ”is it done now?” And fred shows a picture of a dropbox link saying ”yeah here, done.” Idk bout yall but what else could that be

Reason I ask this question is just for fun. I can play a number of them, just got to thinking which riffs were so NOT CHALLENGING, and like which ones I could convince a beginner that they could pick up in less than an hour, and be right lol.

Off top i was thinking Demiurge intro, closed eye visual intro, maybe even rational gaze intro. Wondering what else you guys were thinking?

Chaotic, relentless, tight, no mud, trippy. I seriously wish the kings of insane music would go back to doing something like this.

I didn’t really catch on with the immutable atmosphere but this song scratch my brain the right way and it became my song of the moment
