Nowadays, when you hear death metal bands that have 240 BPM per minute songs, and it’s just a grid of kicks, and snares, and perfectly synced guitars – it is a little bit weird. I’m used to that, I bet that Nergal is also used to that. And you know, they would just perfect their craft and get a real live groove happening on an album.
