Meshuggah’s “Bleed” is one of those tunes that makes you feel really overwhelmed and frankly, a little afraid. First off, the speed the drummer’s feet must be travelling at for most of the song is terrifying. Second, the whole thing has an off, seasick feel to it. Sliding around somewhere outside the rhythmic constraints of conventional Western music. Combine that with the visual wackiness dreamed up by Ian MacFarland and Mike Pecci, and you’ve got instant nightmare material on your hands. Enjoy, and good night.
