Daily Heavy: Meshuggah - Bleed

If music were to embody an event, this song would be a war cry;

Bleed is a relentless, surgically tight, sonic assault.

When you have two guitars and the kick drum blasting that machine gun-like riff for the first 3 minutes or so, you know you're in for a great metal song.

The way the riff gets played in a higher octave to start with and then the low notes of the 8 string guitars hit you later on takes you by surprise.

Vocalist Jens Kidman's off kilter growls add a level of brutality to this song that has to be heard to be understood!

Meshuggah are one of my favorite bands and I'd urge anyone that loves metal to check them out.
