Mårten Hagström: MESSHUGAH's Experience Of Performing Without Their Vocalist Jens Kidman!
As previously reported, MESHUGGAH have been performing without their vocalist Jens Kidman (HERE is what he had to say about this). Jens caught that nasty flu that has been floating around and so far has been unavailable for the bands concerts in Atlanta GA, Charlotte NC and Philadelphia PA.
Whether he'll join his bandmates onstage tonight at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City remains to be seen, but rhythm guitarist Mårten Hagström spoke to The Village Voice about the experience of playing sans vocalist.
How does not having a vocalist change the performance experience for you?
The way it sounds is not that different...but it's more the way you feel walking up onstage, not seeing the entire band, because we've never done this before. You're used to being that five-piece unit, walking up and doing this together...but there's no use complaining about it. The only thing we can do is try to make the most out of it. We travelled over here now. A lot of places we play on this tour we haven't really played for a long time, so canceling is not really an option.
Here is some footage of MESHUGGAH performing without Jens Kidman!

MESHUGGAH Flashed Their Cojones Last Night By Performing Without Their Singer Jens Kidman - Video Available!
This past Monday, February 11, Sweden's MESHUGGAH ignited the second leg of the "Ophidian Trek" at the Beacham Theatre in Orlando, Florida.
As previously reported, last night the band were forced to perform without their vocalist Jens Kidman at Center Stage in Atlanta, Georgia. "Jens is down with the flu. And this flu means business. He has been forbidden to even speak. He's mute for now. WE WILL PLAY ANYWAY", commented the band before the show. "So memorize the lyrics and bring your very best growl Atlanta. You will all be Jens tonight!! Lets make this happen! We hope he's back tomorrow, or it'll be vocal-duties Charlotte!"
After the show, they commented: "Atlanta!! You have our deepest gratitude. You helped us turn a really shitty situation into an unbelievable night for us. YOU are Meshuggah. Much love!!" There is no word yet whither or not Jens will be back with the band tonight in Charlotte.
We got to hand it to MESHUGGAH for having the cojones of stepping out of their comfort zone and performing without their singer for the first time ever. And from what we heard, the crowd were very pleased on having the unique opportunity of seeing an instrumental set by one of the most ferocious bands in Heavy Music history. Here is some video footage of the bands performance last night:
