Meshuggah, War and Bleed.

[via metal-norge]

Let’s Start with the reason a song without a video is featured here as the main dish. War is the hardest song I’ve ever heard. And I heard a lot. It is fast, it has no mercy and… well listen to it, for &%$ sake!

This Swedish band was formed twenty years ago, but only last year they achieved international success. And they are being considered one of the best Metal Bands ever. And I agree with that.

Their grooves and guitar patterns are complex as possible. Drums usually plays in standard rhythm(well in war it is a programmed kit), but about it the eight-strings guitars (yes you read it right) play math-rock. And the singer takes his lungs off every song.

So first, listen to War, my favourite song, and then Bleed, their most popular song at this moment.

Meshuggah - War - Rare Trax

One of their best songs... besides the song Futile Bread Machine (Campfire Version).

Beams of fire sweep through my head
Thrusts of pain increasingly engaged
Sensory receptors succumb
I am no one now – agony

My crimson liquid so frantically spilled
- the ruby fluid of life unleashed

Ripples ascend to the surface of my eyes
Their red pens drawing at random, at will
A myriad pains begotten in their wake
- the bastard spawn of a mutinous self

The regurgitation of my micro nemesis
- salivating red at the prospect of my ruin, my doom

Malfunction the means for its ascent
Bloodletting the stringent voice to beckon my soul
So futile any resisting tension
As death-induced mechanics propel its growth

The implement, the device of my extinction
- the terminating clockwork of my gleeful bane
The definitive scourge of its mockery
- the end-art instruments lethality attained

Heed - it commands, heed my will
Bleed - it says, bleed you will

Falling into the clarity of undoing
Scornful gods haggle for my soul
Minds eye flickers and vellicates as I let go
Taunting whispers accompany my deletion

A sneering grin, the voice of my reaper
- chanting sofly the song of depletion
