Meshuggah "Monstrocity" raw multi-tracks [ UNBOXING ]

Eyal Levi takes you on a guided tour of the raw multi-tracks for "Monstrocity" by Meshuggah from their 2016 album "The Violent Sleep Of Reason," originally mixed by Tue Madsen... and YES, it sounds as ridiculously amazing as you are imagining it does :)
This session was featured in March 2016's Nail The Mix, and here's a few things to note about it:
- It was recorded live, which is very rare for metal because very few bands can pull it off like Meshuggah or Gojira can
- The overall arrangement is pretty straightforward... no orchestra or synths or anything, just drums bass guitars and vocals (Tomas Haake on drums, Fredrick Thorendal and Marten Hagstrom on guitar, Dick Lovgren on bass, Jens Kidman vocalist)
- While the arrangement is simple, there are a LOT of options for you to work with: the guitars are quad tracked, but with lots of microphones and amp tones (Rectifier, Marshall, Engl, and more) to choose from as well as a guitar DI track. There's a total of 6 amps PER GUITAR and 4 tracks, for a total of 24 guitar tracks!
- These multi-tracks have reamped drums in them, which is rare to see

    I think it was live in that they recorded drums, bass and rhythym guitar simultaneously. Then parts of songs were taken from different takes, so they're not a single take all the way through. Additional guitars and vocals were done separately. Edit: Haake does lead with his right foot.

    It is possible that it was done in one take, recorded the drums and DIs live (maybe some amps) then reamped a lot of stuff, and then recorded the extra instrument tracks, because they obviously can't record quad tracked guitars in one take.

    The way I understood it from an interview with Haake is that they played the songs through in their entirety a few times and then picked best takes for each part. I'm not sure if there's any song that's just one single take all the way through, I'd have to find the interview to see if he mentioned anything about that. But you can see in the drum playthroughs as well that there are some parts that are not from the take that's on the video. They seem to have pretty much reamped everything, even some of the drums.

    Though I appreciate the joke, please don't misuse the term "triplet" and spread misinformation. For it to be a proper triplet, all three notes have to have exactly the same length/note value and be performed over the space of two notes - so a 16th note triplet is three equally long notes being played over the space of two regular 16th notes (which has the same length/note value as an 8th note). This is not at all the case with Bleed, and not in the signature galloping rhythms used by Iron Maiden (regular gallop) and Slayer (reversed gallop) either. None of those are triplets.

    I think the only reason that it's "not typical" for Metal bands to track live these days is because of a huge shift in how it's produced in the recording process compared to a couple of decades ago. It's more of a modern mentality than special thing that only the best of the best can do. Any band that can play half-decently can record live - provided they can get the recording space.

    Well of course. This particular material is played by a particular band that's been playing this particular thing for decades, and it's impressive as hell. I just meant Metal bands in general, because at the start of the video it kind of felt like he was implying that live recording in general is out of reach of Metal bands unless they're top-tier bands that have been going at it for 20+ years.

    Meshuggah are all about cycling guitar riffs over a 4/4 base. They are a band dedicated to rhythmic complexity. You really have to listen to how the guitar riffs morph over 4/4. It’s not for everyone, but to people that like them, it’s almost trance like.

They are a pretty intricate band, but that's only apparent and impressive when you see it and understand it. But listening to it, it's a lot of the same thing over and over. "I" is riddled with the same god damn thing for a loooooooooooong time.
