Bands Like Meshuggah

[Loknik]

Hey, I've been addicted to Diabolic5150's release and his new tunes, and i heard he was like Meshuggah. So when I checked them out, I really thought the vocals detracted from the insane song writing. Are there any bands like Meshuggah but without vocals (more like Keith)?

some periphery...

 

[Metal Wizard]

Limp Bizkit, Korn, Fear Factory, etc. It's just nu-metal. Not a unique sound at all. During your first year of guitar lessons, this band just seems killer. Man, listen to those rhythms. Then as time goes on you realize that (a) not much goes on in Meshuggah songs and (b) past the rhythmic technique, nothing they're doing is particularly hard. So you're listening to faux prog that really has more in common with a bad Exhorder or Vio-lence clone. Errr... I'll pass.

I'm with MFB, this post makes no sense at all to me

Did he just call Meshuggah Nu-Metal and compare them to Limp Bizkit?

DAMMIT!!! I knew I was gonna forget a good one, I searched through my Ipod and I don't have any Tesseract yet


Thanks for pointing that out, they're awesome

 

[Loknik]

Thanks for the replies guys, I'll check these bands out when there's a lull between classes.
P.S. I wonder if metal wizard actually realizes he called diabolic nu-metal... I hope diabolic decides to smite him haha

dumbest. post. EVAR!

he's right about Meshuggah not being particularly hard though.

Haha, it's hard for me.. I just can't get my picking hand to do some of the stuff they do.

I think most of the riffs they're 'known for' aren't that hard but some of it is far from easy, IMO. Playing the main riff of Bleed and some of it's variations is a bit of a trick for me.

they've definitely got some tricky stuff, but a lot of it is just remembering rhythms that eventually resolve.

Yeha man, I was learning Stengah and the riff is easy, but remembering teh timing is kinda tricky. And some of their songs have subtle little bits that you barely notice and get missed out. And Bleed just takes the piss.


To the OP. theres a guy on here who goes under the name Hawkevil, and his stuff is simply epic. Check it out here :

Actually getting into the "groove" of the riffs is the hardest part, most guitarists i've seen that have attempted to play a Mesh song have actually missed this point entirely, it's not playing it, it's feeeeeeeeling it.

I'd like to add Mnemic, Sybreed and Synthetic Breed to that list

Forget about that meshuggah stuff and get a hold of some Spiral Architect and Twisted into Form
