This is exactly how I describe it to my friends when I talk about all the times I've seen them live. I was there for this one too and it was no different. I remember when I saw them some years ago. Waiting around for them to come on, I was gazing around at the people in the balcony seated section, and as I turned back around me and the random guy next to me caught eyes as we were both doing the exact same thing at the same time. We quipped that we'd much rather be down here than up there, had a chuckle and then left each other to it. Fast forward to the end of the show and everyone's filtering out, I walk past the same guy again. He's the only one facing forward at the empty stage, arms crossed but holding his open jaw in his hand with his eyes wide open. I simply laid my hand on his should and said 'I know...'. Wide-eyed and aghast, his reply was '......I can't believe what I've just seen....'. He'd just had himself his first 'come to Jesus' Meshuggah moment. It was beautiful thing to see.

The expansiveness and psychedelic nature of the music isn’t compressed or restricted, it isn’t violent or imposing music as much a narration of the darkness of humanity, and lots of introspection. Meshuggah- possibly the most self reflective metal band, for the time they came out especially. Very esoteric topics and it was what originally resonated with me the hardest apart from the breakdown in Future Breed Machine. That song broke my brain and I have felt like AI ever since.

Being humble

The last two and a half minutes of “Straws Pulled At Random”: truly brilliant. It’s some of what they do best, and that is “simplicity”. It’s what separates them from every single one of the other bands that have tried to climb up the mountain on which Meshuggah sits. Breathtakingly composed and almost unbelievably executed in this, listen to just that and try not to be deeply fucking moved. Yes, they can be complicated musically, but never flashy. Every single aspect of their playing as musicians is completely and totally in service of the song. The riff. The vocals. The solo.

This is the culmination of 30 years of honing in on sound. This is everything they’ve been trying to achieve. They’ve been my favorite band for the last 21 years, I’ve seen them live eight times, and I’ve been saying since Immutable was released: this is the best the band has ever sounded, and that record I rank amongst the classics. Having Fred back (he’s absolutely on fire during this set) makes them whole again, and if they weren’t already, this performance puts them at the top of metal music forever.

Couldn't agree more.

I wasnt actually a meshuggah fan. I simply did not realize how monolithically sick this band really is. I dont even know what to call the vibe they're nailing in their performance. It is darkness and light, beauty and ugliness, ecstacy and pain, magnitude and insignificance, spirituality and harmony equally along side cognitive distortion and dissonance. Perfectly presented in a way that somehow makes sense to my brain. They don't even seem human in their performance. What a vibe, and what a way to get hooked by a band. This straight up gave me some kind of spiritual experience. I did not want this performance to end. My opinion of meshuggah was largely "ehhh" going into this video. what a pretentious snob i have become. Meshuggah are fucking legends. I needed this donkey punch to the balls. Fucking wow. Also anyone know the name of who mixed this video/stage? I really really want to know.

Many metal bands sound a bit like a little gremlin acting creepy for halloween. They are edgy, and it can be fun for sure. Meshuggah sounds more like the cosmic horror of nothingness, an infinitely large meteor on collision course with earth, or maybe the brutality and deranged parts of our human species. They embody such immense darkness but its so groovy and well written that their concerts are like a spiritual release valve to me. Their lyrics are pretty damn poetic too. The struggle to free myself of restraints Becomes My very shackles

great comment, dude!

One of the best things you can do with your life is to see 45:15 live. The whole 'Catch' segment is an unique masterpiece Massive, pummeling, relentless sonic and visual marvel, always. A big kudos as usual to Edvard's working in the lighting section, the absolute best of the best! Thank you for submitting the full set in such an amazing quality!!

When this band formed, they wanted to mimic Metallica. They've done surpassed them! Creating a whole genre, popularized 7-8 strings, monumentality raising the bar of technical music. Meshuggah deserves every bit of fame and attention... 🤘

I also don’t understand when other massive festivals (looking at you Download, Hellfest ) won’t give bands like Meshuggah, Elder, Gojira, Royal blood a chance to headline the main stage. They always linger to the geriatric bands. That’s why people complain about not having new big rock/metal bands. Kudos to Bloodstock for giving proper dues to the bands who are actually relevant.

I remember meeting these guys on their first U.S. tour. With Slayer. Thomas and all of the guys were in an RV. I walked up to the window which was open and they were conversing with a few people. I waited politely with Destroy, Erase, Improve and Chaosphere selves in my hand. I asked them to sign these if they didn’t mind and Thomas offered a bottle of whiskey to drink from and I did. I mean, how often is it that you get to drink from the same bottle as a legend such as this. It was a good night.
