xraytheenforcerAs my friend Patrick said after the show: "Fuck, that was brutal."
The long-anticipated Meshuggah show was last night. They played my favorite song (from my top album of 2008, obZen), linked below. Unfortunately, one of the reasons I wanted to see them live is to figure out how the fuck they actually play this song, but I was too busy making sure I survived the concert to see much in the way of technique. The sold-out show probably had 800 people there, no more than about 80 of which were women. And the bassist has a habit of wandering the audience during songs, making every spot on the floor a potential mosh pit.
This song just kills me every time I hear it -- it starts out teeth-gritting intense and you think "naw, there's no way they can make this any heavier than with that very first riff"...and then in the last 2 minutes of the song, it draws in and then unfolds into a fucking hypernova.
I can't wait to see 'em again, but next time I'll make sure I'm nowhere near the pit.

litechick -- totally thought of you last night watching the whole lighting array. :)
