May 14, 2008, 16 years ago
After releasing a teaser trailer last week, the Swedish masterminds in MESHUGGAH have unveiled the video for 'Bleed' in all of its gory, uber-frightening glory - click below to view.
The clip was produced by Ian McFarland and Killswitch Productions. Directed, written and edited by McFarland and Mike Pecci, “Bleed” boasts a fittingly-cinematic horror tone, and some genuine scares.
Killswitch Productions had this to say: "Working with Meshuggah was truly an honor for us. It’s extremely cool to work with a band who is willing to allow the music and imagery to speak for itself and who does not insist on themselves being the prominent focus of the video. I think that takes real balls and I admire them as a group for doing so."
Drummer Tomas Haake spoke to BW&BK; recently about 'Bleed': "That one was a bit awkward recording, not only because of the length but because the pattern I'm playing is hard - the kick-drums on that song is something we've never done before. I spent a lot of time practising that one. I probably practised that more than all of the other tracks together just because I had to figure out an entirely different approach to playing the bass drums. It's very direct and super-hard to play, but it's still pretty straight-forward. You can't get too catchy with Meshuggah, but in a sense it's a bit catchy."
