THE SOUND OF PERSEVERANCE

Prog Metal is really no my thing but a band playing like this really caughts my attention. Now, I find the other albums by Death not so interesting despite some interesting moments on "Symbolic", but when I heard this album I was instantly blown away by Richard Christy's drumming! He has Hogland's speed but also he puts a lot of brains in his playing, making little arrangements with the hi-hat or some little fast notes on the snare drum, I mean, he does some stuff that jazz drummers do, but with rototoms and double bass drum!! Now that's pretty cool, also some great time signature changes along the album sound quite interesting. Mr. Schuldiner's guitar is not the best I've ever heard but still quite good although I was a little dissappointed with what he did with Painkiller. But only the drums are worth checking this one out really! And well, if you're into prog metal you'll like this pretty much!
