Got to love Meshuggah. Their music makes me want to twitch my body weirdly though, the drum beats are just so weird that they do it to me *
mielikki 21.02.10 - 08:19am
Read up on Drumkit From Hell Superior, it's a 9 DVD package of drum sounds that Tomas Haake was the mastermind of. He and Devin Townsend have both used it in their albums *

I need a programme or something to make drum samples since I dont own drums or know anyone else who does :o Anyway,these guys are insane.an ex girlfriend introduced me to them,we listened to them while we fell asleep lol *
aenglisc 16.05.10 - 01:24am
A guy at work wrote the name of these down f me and urged me to try them out, havnt as yet *
ruoska 16.05.10 - 12:20pm
Probably going to see them this summer *
aenglisc 17.05.10 - 04:29pm
Wheres that at Ruoska?. in general its rare i get to find out where bands are playing untill theve played or booked out. . . maybe a gig anouncement subject could be worked into group oneday *
ruoska 17.05.10 - 07:50pm
Most likely you couldn't make it there. They're confirmed to play in Qstock 2010 at the end of July, in the city of Oulu in Finland *
aenglisc 17.05.10 - 09:06pm
Ha. Very True. .but its nice t know whos playing where. *
ruoska 18.05.10 - 09:14am
I've planned to try and attempt at least 3 festivals this summer, not sure if I can afford it. Qstock is probably my top priority *
mielikki 10.06.10 - 04:46am

SPASM
Stroboscopic contortion assault.
Light bulb language,
translated into fits.
Codes of tendon flickers,
I can't grasp.
Focus lost,
as I writhe and twitch.
Random beats of,
blinding shockwaves.
Erratic suns,
that twist my eyes.
Flashes pounding at my thoughts,
as the intrinsic pains
multiply
Muscle and tissue twined with every violent lash,
battered by an unrelenting shine.
Immobilized by the increasing pains,
the procreating agonies of system breakdown
Lightwave frequency,
body oscillation.
Undeciphered
motions,
pass through my flesh.
Bodily reverberation induced.
A corporeal system,
lost in it's waves.
Bleached into their existence,
by tremulous epileptic
strokes.
Blasts of irregular pulsar radiation,
triggering the
process of mind and body control
Lost to their control.
A sentence,
in flashes told.
Enticed by their calls.
Insane, divine
Torn,
undone,
dissolved,
by incandescent Gods condemned.
Burned.
Their mark on my soul,
to my inverted shadow confined
Twisted,
spun.
Vertebras and spinal column unaligned.
Joints shattered and torn apart.
Spasm rendered
distortion.
Organic spiral.
Stretched and torn into a new
creation,
worldless thing,
a thingless word.
Lightborn malformation *

I've never paid that much attention to their lyrics but these sound just as twitching as their music. Which is a good thing in this case *

*
aenglisc 30.06.10 - 07:00am
Wow.
that hurts my eyes *
mielikki 30.06.10 - 07:01am
It'd hurt your brain just as much 
Tomas Haake's drumming is insane *
mielikki 30.06.10 - 07:03am
From Wikipedia
Haake is noted for his technical abilities, as his drumming style is characterized by heavy use of polyrhythms while often maintaining a steady 4/4 beat. This signature style has become one of the most recognized features in the music of Meshuggah. He is also known for stacking his cymbals in a variety of configurations to give himself a desired sound *
aenglisc 30.06.10 - 05:50pm
Ha, maybe, drumming should be an olympic event, must be amoungst the fittest on planet . . .where they find the energy i dont know. . .have heard people raving about the drumming talents of Tomas before. .been hesitant to properly chance it *
aenglisc 28.07.10 - 06:54am

ruoska 28.07.10 - 07:13pm
