holy shit this sounds awesome. Can’t wait for their new album. Never disappointed when it comes to meshuggah.
I’m leaking all over the place…ha…ha….haaa. -Sounds great!
You just metaphorically ejaculated over this site’s face. Wookubus treasured it.
I hear thePRP is now ‘expecting’. I’m overjoyed.
Yeah – this is pretty awesome!
Holy Fuck. Somehow this is my first ever taste of Meshuggah. Where the fuck have i been on this one.
oh wow. Get their discography. Simply the most influential heavy band of the last 15 years.
Welcome to metal, buddy boy.

This shit goes back i don’t even know how many years

better quality, same song, my bad
Guess I’m the only one who thinks this sounds pretty substandard by Meshuggah terms, especially when stacked against pretty much every track on ObZen. Any new Meshuggah is good news, but I’m hoping the rest of Koloss is a little more dynamic than this.
No I agree. In fact half way through it I got a little bored, and lost. I love this band, but most their slower stuff just does nothing for me.
this could be an intro song?!
THIS SONG IS GOING TO KILL JONNY CRAIG!!!!!!
HAIL Meshuggah!!!!!!
I’m assuming the “iam” means this is the first track I Am Colossus? It certainly sounds like an opening track. Shows whats to come, but doesn’t blow it’s load on the first song. Has me unbelievably intrigued. Good Lord, I love this band.
It’s track 7 of 10, “Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion.”
Holy Christ! Could this song be any more boring?
Go listen to your Van Halen.
wtf is wrong with Van Halen (at least the early Roth era, nothing after and not the reunion)
dont listen to him. he’s just butt hurt because i dont like this weak song. its pretty sad he remembers that some random person from the internet likes van halen. creeper.
in his defense, I remember stuff like that. and I dig robo and his isms.
dude, F anyone that thinks this shit is boring. That riff pattern is more complicated than anything you could conjure up in your tiny brain. The riff itself is groovy as fuck. hell yea.
Yeah, I base every riff’s worth on whether or not I can play it, since I’ve never picked up a fuckin’ guitar before. Jackass.
Was that directed at me? If so then fuck you. If not then yea, I totally agree with you.
@damn…do you even know anything about playing guitar? you talk like you do but you dont know shit. explain to me, what “riff pattern is more complicated than anything…”? this is the most basic riff I’ve heard from this band. honestly, i came up with weak shit like this when i started playing over 15 years ago. hopefully this is the final track on the album because it is definitely a momentum killer.
There’s more going on in that riff than you’re giving it giving credit for. Either the speakers on your computer are shit or you don’t have the ear to pick up on the subtle changes in the pattern and timing. It’s not a blatant technical display as you might be accustomed to hearing from Meshuggah, so you automatically dismiss it as basic.
Wurst, I made one comment about how nuanced the riff is if you listen closely. You couldn’t play this shit, I guarantee it. I highly doubt you’ve been doing anything for 15 years besides growing out of your infant body into a teenager, and maybe had some hair growing in funny places along the way. You sound like a tool. GO GET SOME PUSSY. I’m sure you will feel like a man if you do.
hahaha now THAT was gay.
Wow i can’t think of a better indication that you may have just lost this one, Wurst
Then again I just listened to this shit 6 times in a row. Probably makes me just as much of a retard.
Count me in as a retard. I’ve listened to it at least six times now. Shit has an eerie vibe and a nasty groove. I can’t complain at all.
what a sad, sad life you life.
On the contrary dude. You appear to be the unhappy one. Everyone else is stoked about a cool new song. You’re the one shitting in the apple pie.
i dont like apple pie, brotha.
HA, lost again!!!! Dude, damn has you by the balls right now…gonna keep scrolling down and see if it happens a third time.
What fucking time signature is this? Awesome!
4/4
^^^hahaha nice way to let jampola down.
In my faggy hipster voice “omg this sounds like every other meshuggah song”
-puts on one of 3,293,238 bands that rip off meshuggah daily.
Dude, it sucks that you have a point, but you’ve totally got a point. If you look at the number of Meshuggah clone bands that have popped up and released albums just since ObZen came out, it really makes me want to hear a Meshuggah song that takes these motherfuckers to school. But this song isn’t it. Again, before I get fuckin’ trolled, I love Meshuggah. LOVED this band since Chaosphere made me shit my pants in high school 10+ years ago. So, I’m really hoping this song is like something off Catch 33… more of a piece to the puzzle instead of a song expected to stand on its own strength.
Name one band worthy of deteriorating my drums that rips off Meshuggah? What’s there to rip off? The irony of your post is that you hardcore Meshuggah fans ARE the arrogant hipsters. You act and talk like Meshuggah are the gods of metal and everyone after has stolen their style and sound. Psh, aint true.
I gotta give you this one. So tired of hearing this rip off bullshit from know nothing music fans. Ever single piece of music made is a rip off of something else out there.
Meshuggah are a great band, and they push some pretty cool boundaries, but they aren’t the end all of metal, and they never will be. The best part I always hear say about Meshuggah is how “crazy their riffs are”, and people don’t get it. The riffs are simple, its the timing that’s are weird, and if you can learn timings, you can learn anything Meshuggah. They aren’t changing the world, they are just really good.
Relentless, you’re right about the timing, but I’d like to see some guitarists try and play “Bleed” note for note. But dexterity aside, they have so much groove for a metal band. I grew up listening to funk and jazz and these guys have fucking soul. That’s why I don’t like any of the news bands that are similar to Meshuggah. No one else seems to posses the talent they display. If you dislike this band, fine, but understand everything they do is gold. The lamest thing they did was when Jens Kidman sang on that Mushroomhead song.
*new
P.S. – No one can touch Tomas Haake.
Haake is an animal.
I’m definitely getting a “Nothing” vibe from this. It has that slow drunken tempo. It didn’t knock me on my ass like the first time hearing “Bleed”, “NMCC”, or even “Rational Gaze”, but I like it.
Though one thing is certain, Meshuggah would need something stronger than this to kill off Djent. I still have faith in them!
Jesus. You people waste no time in judging this. At first listen, I thought it was okay but quickly realized I was listening to it on shitty computer speakers. Second time through, I was trying to concentrate on what the guitars were doing. VERY COOL! Third time around, listened to the quality sound of the drums. SOLD!
Give it a little bit of time to become tangible. It’s a good song. Why are some of you already talking shit about the album? There are a couple of stinkers on all their records, but the great songs make this band legendary (and constantly ripped off). Can’t wait until 3/27!
“concentrate on what the guitars were doing”??? bro, the guitar work is pretty damn basic. trust me, nobody wants to rip this shit off.
It’s groove-oriented guitar work. Yeah, pretty basic! I wasn’t expecting Steve Vai to wank me out of the room. I like how those pretty damn basic riffs weave in with the rhythm. Pretty standard Meshuggah. Sorry, bro. I like it. A lot. If only they could get that Emmure guy to rap about penises over it……
Not a huge Meshuggah fan and this song isn’t doing anything to change my mind. Never really understood the hype with these guys; I mean, they’re ok, but in my opinionm they aren’t doing anything mind-blowing by any means.
You are fully primed to become a believer. I felt this way, until one day I got it.
THANK YOU @My Farts Linger. I’m still trying to figure this one out. Apparently, you arent cool and dont know your metal if you dont claim to like Meshuggah and dont bitch about how every other band his ripped off their sound.
sorry, but this was VERY boring by Meshuggah standards
My friend who hasn’t heard this song asked me how it was, And the only way I could describe it was “It’s sludgy. Like getting hit in the face with a shovel full of hot tar. THICK!”
I can see why some Meshuggah fans wouldn’t like it or think it was “Dumbed Down” by their standards cuz it’s not as technical or whatever . However, I’m not one of those people. I love this track. Pure groove. It has me so curious to hear the rest of the album.
it was more like getting hit in the face with a cock full of semen.
I’m sure you know all about that. Shut up dude go back to lambgoat.
i had to google “lambgoat”. never been to the site, duder. been coming here, and only here, since ’99. nice try though.
Van Flip.
Wait. How do you know what getting hit in the face with a cock full of semen feels like? Suspect.
Can someone confirm to me that’s it’s good quality? I don’t want to listen to it if it turns out that the ‘real’ version is going to sound much better.
Just listened to it anyways. Yeah, kind of slow, but pretty cool. Reminds me moreso of the stuff on Obzen.
FUCK YEAH! Can’t wait to hear the rest of it.. There is no “alleged” on this though. The song was leaked intentionally, as the domain of the website is registered to Meshuggah’s management.
OK, this “WURST” guy needs to fuck off, and quit being such a buzzkill. If you don’t like the band… don’t listen to it, and quit ruining peoples discussions by adding your useless opinion. his comments are on over half the posts on here. Wurst, you either get it or you don’t, a real meshuggah will understand what the rest of us feel when we hear one of their songs. you don’t seem to get it. SO, FUCK OFF
no, i wont quit listening. i’ve given EVERY album a chance, waiting for at least one of them to be good, and a few have been. this track in particular is just garbage. so you go fuck off and listen to mushroomhead and let me state my opinion, asswipe.
also, there’s nothing to “get”. it’s music, not a riddle or a fucking joke….well, i guess you’re right. it is a joke.
Stating your opinion is one thing dude. Repeatedly saying the same shit over and over again isn’t. Go suck your mom’s cock, it might do you some good. Just my opinion.
i’ll consider doing so. thank you.
so every Meshuggah song has to be super technical for it to be listenable and praiseworthy? and how it’s not boring? yea? people with more of an open mind will get it. obviously people like you just won’t. the thing that makes absolutely no sense to me is that if you’re a Meshuggah fan, you do have an open mind in that regard alone…weird.
ya know…I will go listen to mushroomhead, because I enjoy them… but first I’ll also listen to this song and many other great songs by Meshuggah.
I’m gonna go put in Catch-33 right now, and have a listen… and from here on out, I’m gonna stop feeding the ‘troll” aka,YOU
good day, Wurst
WURST, you are possibly one of the worst personality’s on the internet. I start reading any of your comments – my hand instantly goes to my temples, (auto)(face)(palm). – Always on the attack, and refusing to show any thanks or gratitude – not that the internet warrants that behavior easily.
Sorry for the negativity folks – WURST needs some Pimp Rock in his life I’m thinking. I recommend Slaves on Dope, into some Dope, and topped off by 2 Skinny J’s. Push Up Stairs.
Maybe we can call Howard since he’s free from Killswitch, and we can all pay him Pimp Rock Palace (smack the shit) out of WURST.
i give praise to the things i like. but on the same token, im going to give my opinion about the crap i think is just that, crap. dont get butt hurt because you disagree. im not jumping down your throat because you like 3 Doors Down and Nickelback, am I?
in case you dont remember, on this very page i said i liked a few Meshuggah albums. so my rants arent completely negative.
WURST: you seem to have that ICP mindset, everyone is against me so the more I comment the more justified I am (thank you keith buckley). just so you know, it’s not working. true, I have no “dog” in this fight, but I just putting in my 2 cents because…
dont cry, bro.
WURST is the WORST.
zing!
I don’t get it.
no one but wurst did
I agree that there really isn’t much to the song, but the same can be said about two of their biggest songs, New Millennium Cyanide Christ and Bleed. Both songs are extremely repetitive, but in still fit in with the whole album. That’s why I was hesitant to even listen to this, because I was pretty bored with Bleed until I heard it on the album.
Wurst sucks his mom’s big shlong, then she blows her load in his ass. Save it dude! The song is wicked. Don’t hate!
Meh (shuggah)… Har har har I’m hilarious.
Honestly I love this band and always have. Maybe I need to listen to this song like a million more times like everyone else, but my first time through: boring. Yeah, slow tempo and groovy, pretty typical of the band, but Jesus I hope they have some faster more chaotic songs on the new album. I don’t know if anyone’s heard the new Vildhjarta cd (and I’m not some ‘thall’ retard) but every single song on that cd blows this new Meshuggah shit away.
Meshuggah is supposed to be the leaders of the style of metal they created, call it ‘Djent’ or whateverthefuck – they should be raping our ears with their new brutal djentified creations, not lulling us to sleep.
Like I said, hope their other new songs top this one, and by a lot.
The to which metal kicks ass is about brutality – not how subdivided a polyrhythm is. The first time I heard Meshuggah’s None EP at Ace’s Records in Tampa (metal points for those who know hahaha) I was drawn in because it sounded like I was in a fight! Their technical prowess was secondary to the efficiency in which they were kicking ass, yo.
*The degree to which… doh.
Took me all of a minute and a half to go through this thread and downvote all of Wurst’s shit. A minute and a half well-spent.
word.
Not my favorite Meshuggah song, but i liked what the one guy said about how it will fit on the album, im a full album listener and believe some artists create things to meld with the rest of the album. If this is track 3, i wanna hear track 2 and 4 before i make a total judgement. It’s got a pretty cool groove to it though. I can’t say im even a huge Meshuggah fan, i missed a lot of the albums in the middle there….but Destroy Erase Improve was incredible.
There are like two songs on Destroy. Erase. Improve. that haven’t held water for me over the years, but over all, that album still hits just as hard today.
Future Breed Machine is still set on my phone as my alarm ringer every morning, haha
Great track, honestly the only songs I know by them are future breed machine and Rational Gaze(very awesome song) but this sounds amazing, and I agree there are small subtle changes and I had a hard time counting the beats mid way through, but throughout the intro and the ending the drums had a constant 4/4 beat… haha but I’m a noob, played guitar for 2.5 years and did one season of Marching Band so I know some stuff.
Buddy, you have to listen to “Bleed”. I get chills. Oh hey, and for a whole ‘nother ‘mother side of Meshuggah, listen to “I” front to back when you have a half-hour to kill. It’s all over the place. Lulls you to near-sleep at some points only to wake you up with a pillow case full of hammers to the face. Lotta fun.
Listen to the entirety of Catch Thirty-Three. It’s one continuous song that is the pinnacle of Meshuggah’s brutality and skill. It will change your life. Well, maybe not, but it’s my favorite album and you should definitely check it out.
