DON’T WATCH MESHUGGAH’S VIDEO FOR “BLEED” SOBER

 Wednesday, May 14th, 2008 at 3:58pm by

I don’t have much to say about Mesuggah’s new video for “Bleed” (directed by by Ian McFarland & Mike Pecci), except that I can’t wait to get home, get high, and watch in it a proper state of mind. It’s almost – almost – on the level of video making we’ve come to expect from Tool.

So, here it is… smoke ‘em if ya got ‘em.

    Now THAT is a quality video!

    Why does it cut off just before the last minute or so, though? Is it a glitch or just a video-friendly edit?

    Very Guillermo Del Toro (sorta’). Me gusta!

    I love Meshuggah, but I’m not so sure about the video. It’s pretty cool, but it doesn’t really tickle my balls. I think if Adam Jones would have directed it, that shit would’ve been 100% smokingly bad-ass.

    That’s just me, though.

    Not that great really. Disjointed. None of the visuals amount to much. There’s no narrative whatsoever. It’s all just sort of a hodgepodge.

    I guess I’m basically saying, “Big deal.”

    Love the song but this isn’t a great video by any stretch of the imagination.

    i thought the exact same thing bucketochicken. Pans labyrinth meets metal. Total Brutal.

    So the bald guy’s power is to turn people into Doyle from the Misfits and chain them to a throne? Horrifying.

    Those weird little corpse painted gimps are hilarious! They should have had the guys from Immortal play a cameo!

    I don’t even like this band and that video was INTENSE! I might even go check out the CD after that shit.

    the song is great, the video is the kind of shit I used to see in film school freshman year only with a budget. Not great.

    @fightingmike Those weren’t the guys from Immortal? Whole video kind of seemed like a “nonsensical mathcore progressive hatefest br00t tripz balls metal is better than black metal” type deal. Of which I approve wholeheartedly.

    The edits could have been better. Sometimes they were spot on in the cuts, with fitting them to the music, otherwise they just let a scene run too long (this did not happen often), or edited too quickly and out of sync with the beats.

    Still, they probably went through 50 editors in the making of this video, after each went raving mad after only a day’s work on it.
