Description : I discovered Meshuggah around 2003 and was blown away by the power, complexity and super Heavy sound of their music. Their "Nothing" album marked the switch to 8 string guitars and pushed Heavy Metal into a whole new territory. My track is a variant cover of their song "Nebulous". I have stayed pretty close to the original but added a few dynamic elements of my own. Its loud, its super heavy and way out there...Beyond Nebulous.
Description : The music for this song is 'Heavy Metal Highway' song and was used with permission from Randy at . The added vocals and effects were added in Garageband. Listen to it LOUD and listen all the way to the end, it's worth it!

Description : A collab with nicetones101. Dark , gritty and with questionable intent. crunchy riff driven guitars and atmospheric vocals weave together a solemn track.Hopefully we invoke some sort of emotion! \m/
Description : A collab with nicetones101 ! This has been awhile in the making, real life caught up with me and i had to take a little musical break. I looked over my past comments i received and i tried to put all the constructive criticism to work ! I turned the vocals up a bit , I also cut down on the effects and left a clean vocal track. I did want the chaos and the noise to still be a player in certain parts though. I tried to create two distinct atmospheres, an uneasy calm and a manic episode. I prefer headphones with this track as there is a lot going on at certain times.

Description : Living in the Pacific Northwest, USA, I am surrounded by countless acres of forests and mountains. Having experienced them, I know that with as beautiful and serene as they can be, so too, they can be cold, deadly and unforgiving. That's what this song is about. The wide spectrum of emotions one can feel when alone in the forest. Whether you want to be or not. Let me know what you think. --- Take care. V.
Description : Psychedelic chillout stoner/doom epic. Badass heavy riffage and drumming plus big chillout vibes. Heavy electric guitar plus slow attack lead parts. Other beauty and ambience from filter swept violins, two synth pads and some subtle female vocal samples. Also bass guitar and sub bass. Two programmed, heavy drum kits and one lighter one, to fatten up the sound.
Description : One of my greatest heavy tracks. What I find unusual is the amount of melodic and deep ambient guitar that sits on top of low, distorted riffs and fat, heavy drums. Very little synth work here apart from the sub bass, which plays almost throughout. Bass guitar in two sections and a couple of slide resonator guitar solos. Drums are a few programmed metal/rock kits, no drum loops. What I still have trouble believing and understanding is that all of the many vocal sounds in this are actually timestretched guitar parts (8x or 800% slower). I don't know why the timestretching adds such a clear vocal component to the sound. Gets darker and more intense in the middle (and towards the end) but this is otherwise quite melodic - perhaps in a way that might put off some metallers. Shitloads of guitar playing, some fairly badass, and lots of heavy, crashing drums so press play if you want to rock hard but also in a deep ambient, psychedelic way. Interesting thoughts and reflections are, as always, greatly appreciated. Detailed comments preferred...
Description : I am totally just gonna encourage you to hit play...and enjoy!
Thank you so much Mr. Bear for the track and the mix :-), now you'll have something to entertain you on your trip :-)
PLAY IN TRAFFIC! AND LOUD!

Description : This unconventional metal track is dedicated to Valvedriver https://www.looperman.com/users/profile/841435 though it's not a parody of his fine music or me actively trying to sound like it. I struggled for months with the first few minutes of this track knowing that I must be able to take it somewhere deeper, more psychedelic and powerful. Then I loaded some sampled choir voice instruments, as used in my track Reckful https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/160356 and suddenly found myself happily in Valveland - not a place I visit often. Feeling amply Valvedriven and newly inspired, I added the last few minutes fairly easily and very quickly. So: it's a twisting, turning mixture of grunge, menacing ambient, mystical metal and ultra-heavy funk. Instruments: electric guitar+bass, synth basses, female choir voices, one synth pad, some other synths on the nastier side of things and a few programmed heavy acoustic drumkits playing a mixture of triplets and straighter grooves. Interesting thoughts appreciated. Favourite bits? Shit bits? Please listen on good headphones/speakers as there's a lot of heavy bass in this. Now get ready to rock: balls out, hands in the air and with rebellious joy in your heart. Just try not to headbang the hell out of your laptop. Go!
Dude. I say......dude!
This. Is. Awesome.
Ive liked Meshuggah since their beginning. Still do. In fact I dig the whole Djent genre. I love the broken rhythms and fked up time signatures. Its not a real melodic genre, per se. but the percussive assault is one to really dig. Personally, I would go as far to say that Sepultura started that whole genre with Roots, Bloody Roots. They just werent using the 8string god sent from....wherever. But judging by the darkness of this tune, Id say some suburb of hell.
Personally, I would love to get lost in the darkness of this tune. That shit is, for a lack of better terms when describing darkness, quite pleasant.
Im not going to go into a Static sized breakdown on this one, I will say that the production is awesome. The tones you managed to achieve are true to the genre. Damn. I wish I could play live instruments, man. This makes my latest one sound like chicken scratch, dude. The layering is impeccable. The drone in the background is sitting perfect in the mix. Its loud enough to hold everything together, and fill the blanks where it could become boring, (to the ears of those who dont appreciate the genre), but its not so loud that its distracting. The sustained notes in the leads really work. Ive always been a fan of that. Sustained, slow hand leads over choppy, chuggy rythyms.
Yep. You got yourself a winner, here, bud. I favd it so I can download it later. This one is going on the playlist.
Take care, mister. Hope to hear from you soon.
Aaron.
yep just downloaded this awesome tune!!!!Man you are fridge talented!!!!!I love your music.I love your sound on this very messhuggahish!Man i have 2 8 strings steph 8 and an rg8so much fun!Love to throw a riff at you some time and write a tune together!if your keen
Hey Neo every now and then i come to a crossroads where i notice something and i follow it for a while until another crossroads appears here is my crossroad provided by you and this superb track. I checked out Meshuggah too heavy for my baby taste at the moment i find this more palatable but i will now build up to the full undiluted Meshuggah :) Best regards peaceout Robbie.
Hell F*ck Yeah Meshuggah ! Good job !! Very Technical stuff. I'm a Meshuggah fan also.
Haven't listened to metal in a while, but this was like a breath of fresh air.Amazing!

Meshuggin' regreetings.
Oh no, don't get me wrong - I thought it was a really well made track, just not my preferred heavy style. I thought my detailed review demonstrated that I thought it was good. My musical tastes are somewhat separate from my evaluation of a track. And you don't make music to entertain me (and vice versa).
"the inability of playing power chords. They sound terrible with the low tuning."
That makes sense as I guess it's a bit like strumming mid to high chords on bass guitar (though that can also be effective). But you could play those same chords beyond the 12th fret. I know that's not the most comfortable sort of chord playing position but it could be done. And stop ot from sounding so low and messy. I'm sure you've given it a go.
" the cymbals were washing out and again I'm noticing it."
I didn't really notice but if it's bothering you, I guess you need to find a way to fix it. Or just get it closer to what you want.
"the Looperman version has dramatically effected the dynamics"
Not sure I've heard that before. I thought it was supposed to be exactly the same, no artifacts introduced.
"Maybe my next track will be more to your liking."
It might be but I really wouldn't worry if it's not.
My country track has been put on the back burner, partly because my latest one is going rather well. It's drum 'n' cell - d'n'b with loads of one particular instrument. It's fun and far out and you'll probably like it.
Merry mothafuckin' Xmas!

Some thickness, indeed!
Not big on djent, but you got a good sound here. Doom filled chugs and clean dissonance. Sounds like a beast conveying it's displeasure with all around it. I can't fault anything here, just not my thing. Very evil, but I like aggression in my evilsoup. Production is awesome and sounds like there is a lot of money behind it in studio time. Rather well done!!!

Nebulous greetings, NeoMeshuggin'Bro.
I'm not a fan of Meshuggah (just too heavy and lacking in melody for me) but I think about them fairly often as I have Tomas Haake's Metalheads EZX and use it quite often, not only in heavy tracks. I used some of Haake's MIDI files for some of the "criminally insane" drumming that you liked in my Fist Bumps Of Fury track (especially early in the track).
I'm really, really bad with time signatures so I don't really know what 23/16 time is. But I do know I get something quite distinctive from his crazy MIDI files. Most of them are banging away on cymbals so not a lot of hat work.
Anyway:
0:10 that's quite a cool little industrial flourish and I like the slightly vocally drone synth underneath, changing note on 0:28.
0:15 and here's that heavy djent thud and overall fat sound. This already sounds well produced, as does all your stuff these days, I believe.
This does sound like there's some evil, clanging, octave-jumping bass guitar in it. I guess that's all just guitar. But it is a detuned 8 string so that makes sense.
1:19 and that lead guitar is a welcome addition as sitting on that thudding djent riff was getting a bit samey.
3:02 fuck that's dark and evil. Really wide guitars.
3:16 like an ogre groaning. Or metal vocalist grunting away.
The lead work on top here makes it more far out and psychedelic. In a dark, unsettling way.
This second half seems more powerful than the first.
As I said, Meshuggah isn't my kind of sound so I can't really love this track but the guitar work is very good - well played and produced.
4:48 reverse flourish at the end is a nice touch.
Static MeshuggMad
Osh, tasty. I'm loving the tone of the guitar, low slow and sludgy, my kind of of metal.
I hope you can find a singer to complete this, I think it has huge potential.
I'm inspired to make some sludge now, keep it up brother.
Sounds great! This isn't usually my cup of tea, but you really made it work.
this is the kind of music i loved to be stoned to and get lost in. what do you know, i am getting that escape with your work even without the weed. great work and look forward to more. Dan
yeah...they played in Budapest at around 2007 and I was impressed about the drummer...CAN'T BELIEVE HOW HE WAS ABLE TO PLAY THOSE BROKEN RHYTHMS...
that band actually made revolution in prog metal...and your track is a true main drive in front of them...
hats off, Danke
