  • LOVE Opeth and that album! Never got into the earlier Cookie Monster vocal stuff but always dug the music.

  • I don't know how the drummers in those hyper-speed genres can pull of an entire song, let alone a whole show.

    Here's one of my faves hailing from the land of ice and snow.

    Technique is key, you use very little force for the snare hits. Fastest stuff is done with the "gravity blast" technique where every hit on the snare makes two hits. Another, for black metal at least, is that you can be as sloppy as you want. :D


    And triggers like he explains in the video:

  • Those leads are very-well-constructed and contain some tasty bending, man. 8):thumbup:


    The singing ain't too shabby either. :huh:

    Daniel Gildenlow. 4+ octave range. He's worked with a veritable who's who of Heavy Prog Rock.

    Check out the album 'One Hour by a Concrete Lake' crazy good concept disc.


    Thanks for the drumming info nakedzen!

    Love it! Pity they only made one album and a demo. :/

    Brittney... amazing voice too

    Indeed, Lance; she nails it and gets great cut-through.

    My metal friends think I am nuts 8o :

    Well, I think you know I'm a huge fan of many Japanese styles and genres, Lance; so much creativity there.


    If you really want to freak your metal friends out, play them some denpa song / Akiba Pop / A-pop. :D I actually like it; the bass lines alone generally make it worth listening to for me, but strangely-enough, I find it uplifting when I'm really-depressed and nothing else "works". Guaranteed to freak musician friends out at any rate; hasn't failed me yet. :evil:
