MESHUGGAH - The Ophidian Trek

Last year's world tour saw Swedish Math Metal shockwave Meshuggah in seismically pulverizing form. I can vouch for live shows of astonishing brilliance. This box set of recordings documents both the band's  crushing live presence and the synapse - fraying complexity of their performances. The DVD gives some tiny inkling of the energy which drives their playing. A great memento-mori for initiates and perhaps an enticement for the novice.

"Just as the most sublime sound merges on noise, so is the headiest perfume but a step away from death and putrefaction."
- Michel Serres, 1986, The Five Senses
