Meshuggah and Tool have been playing off of each other for years. They’ve toured with each other, both have an appreciation of polyrhythms, and with the Swedish band’s new video for “I Am Colossus,” Meshuggah appear to have borrowed liberally from Tool’s stop-motion animated videos. This dark, moody video, directed and animated by Magnus Jonsson perfectly matched the bleak and pulsing rhythm of the song, which is as close to a title track to Koloss is there is.
