    In my point of view, it is like you are only allowed to impress your audiance by playing merely D-Beats, Blast Beats, and some snare drum bass drum rock style composition in this album, and the drum guy just (Adrian Enlardsson. I have no idea if he was the one in charge of drum arrangement or it was other people’s idea) amazingly demonstrated his approaches. Paradigm of death metal drumming!
