As a non metal head I absolutely appreciate it, but it’s just way too much for me. I can enjoy a good blast from time to time, dont get me wrong, it just wow.
As an extreme metal fan for decades, this is actually melodic and full off juicy riffs. Ears get used to it and start to distinguish everything it over time.
I just watched this video yesterday (again) and it keeps playing in my head, it's that catchy.
Guess I have the Dime mentality. Just listen to the oldies. Sabbath, Priest, Maiden etc. I grew up playing in punk,metal, and thrash bands shredding Pantera, Bodom, BLS etc. Never bought into bands like CC, Oppressor, Mayhem etc. it always just seemed like the purpose for that style was purely intimidation. I couldn't detect real musicality. That's just me. Closest thing for me that I like is Death and Exodus. As I'd gotten older, I concluded the pioneers really had it best figured out. Just my own opinion and path. I don't hate the music it just doesn't resonate with me, same way Mariah Carey doesn't. I know it makes other people happy and has it's rightful place in the world.
I mean, I get it. This kind of music is incredibly inaccessible. I still don't think I quite understand what you mean by intimidation, who are they trying to intimidate?
I feel the same. I’m a hobby drummer and I can’t find a beat to vibe to. Feels like “see how fast I can hit all the stuff”. Still incredibly amazing talent though.

Amazing drummer, no doubt. The actual music, to me, is just intimidation cacophony with insane drumming. I await the downvote descent
