Meshuggah launched their North American headlining tour this past Tuesday, November 21st in San Diego, CA. Amid the 12-song set that night were three reintroductions, including the first live performance of their 1991 track “Humiliative” since 2009.
Elsewhere, “Electric Red” received its first playthrough since 2011, “Perpetual Black Second” was performed for the first time since 2017, and perpetual fan favorite “Bleed” made its way back into the set for the first time since 2019.
The setlist for this past Tuesday’s show from the Swedish metal extremists ran as follows:
“Broken Cog”
“Rational Gaze”
“Perpetual Black Second”
“Electric Red”
“Born In Dissonance”
“Ligature Marks”
“The Abysmal Eye”
