Meshuggah - Rational Gaze

Back To Metaltown!

The band that I adore the most on this festival is MESHUGGAH!!
Damn good.

The intro was heaven, and then when Jens Kidman, Fredrik Thordendal, Mårten Hagström, Dick Lövgren and Haake (a bit), came in and headbanged that was even more heavenly what a impact! LOOOOVED it.



Ive seen them a lot of times now and damn those Luleå guys really deliver every time!



It was raining a bit when they entered the stage but wtf WHO CARES! :D

MESHUGGAH are currently working on the follow-up to their 2008 Billboard-charting album, obZen, which debuted at #59 on the American Top 200 Billboard chart in 2008. It also clinched the #14 spot on the iTunes Top Rock Albums chart, was the #1 Most Added metal album on the CMJ Loud Rock and FMQB radio charts, and set a new Swedish MySpace pre-listening promotion record for over a quarter of a million album streams in seven days.

Anekdoten - The War Is Over

Howdy Folks,
Now to the next support band from the Meshuggah evening,

Anekdoten !
They take you back to late 60´s and beginning 70´s.
Classic Swedish progressive band from Borlänge, where the early 90's began as a trio under the name of King Edward. A year later they finished playing King Crimson songs and started writing their own, under the name of Anekdoten(Anecdote).
The group's debut "Melancholy". The band's vinyl album is now sold more than expensive wine on the various auction sites.

They have done 5 studio albums and 3 live albums.
Anekdoten also released a compilation album 2009.



Allmusic writes about em;
Anekdoten answers one of the great "what if" questions of art-rock: what if King Crimson hadn't broken up in the mid-seventies? Anekdoten is a remarkable sound-alike to Red-era King Crimson, which is hardly surprising given Anekdoten's roots as a tribute band. Its instrumentation of viola, distorted Rickenbacker bass, highly pitched drums, Frippy guitar, and mellotron all evoke this era of art-rock; the smoky English vocals only add to the effect.

They were somehow a bit odd in this gig with the brutal metal that Meshuggah and C.B Murdoc presented, but as I am an old progressive music lover I liked this as well.
But somehow I couldnt digest it in-between these 2 bands.

Here is some pics that Stones took at the gig :) Enjoy!

Okey Dudes and Dudettes, Here is Anekdoten!

Peace, Thetania

C.B Murdoc - 10199045

Heya Again.. Time for the supports band of the Meshuggah gig.

The first band was C.B Murdoc!



A band that really sounded good, hard brutal metal with a great melody.
I liked it a lot, havent really read much about them. Tryed to find out the names of em all...but it was harder than I thought haha Ah well Ill find out.

Stones took one pic of them, here it is.

I found a Facebook page and a Myspace page so u can get more info about em.

Starkmusic says this about them:
"I can definitely appreciate the groups that deliver music with brutal conviction, technical precision and a fury across all boundaries in an album. Live, however, tend to be a different story. You can cheat in the studio, but then delivers the entire package live is sometimes end in disaster. With CB Murdoc began with that I just stood and gaped over the guys extreme live delivery of technology, musical contortions, energy and consistent burst of energy.



A variegated collection of people on stage who delivered in full and that was really fun to see. I can happily say that the album, delivers! "Two in One" is two four-song recordings dated 2007 and in 2008 merged into a album. Looks like an album, sounds like an album, it is an album. The whole band, minus bassist John Hansen, was previously in the not entirely unknown band "Mörk Gryning". Certainly the death trends still there, but this is an entirely different musical delivery with technology, hardcore brutality".

I found a "only sound" videos with them and I picked this tune...

Cheers Folks, Thetania

Meshuggah - Humiliative

Sunday night Meshuggah entered the stage of Debaser Medis Stockholm.

This was incredibly powerful.
There they stood with their obZene music, and rocked and pants of all of us.
The tones are as far apart so it gets so damn good.

According to a Hebrew friend of mine Meshuga means "totally crazy"
haha thats so fitting :)

I stood and photographed like a maniac, but I realized from time to time that I stood almost still and was totally astonished over how good this is.

At Debaser the sound gets extremely good, Ive heard em b4 on other stages than this and 2 times at Debaser and Debaser is the best!
The place was crowded, some of my friends didnt get a ticket, lot of sobbing was out there for not making it. Me and Stones wasent working this night and its very rare that we go out and have a good time. Chief Rebel Angel from the blog METAL! was with us this evening as he got that ticket as a birthday gift.

Met lots of people, for example Meshuggahs guitar tech Michel H Lansink that is one of the guitar players in The Kristet Utseende a Swedish punk/metal-group. He revealed that a new album is comming up soon, Im all eager here :D Half of Crucified Barbara was there, hm long time ago I was on one of their concerts. I gotto go, I like their energi!

Over to Meshuggah, since the album obZen 2008 the released a dvd/cd album 2010
called ALIVE, with live tunes. I will show u one of em, and also a teaser on this release. Click here if u wanna read more about them.

Me and Stones took some pics and here they are,

Cheers, and love u all, Thetania
