I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...they are the reigning kings of thrashdom; best guitar duo, best vocalist, best drummer, best lyrics, best imagery, and the perfection of RiB / SitA...they simply rule. Don't try arguing the case for lesser bands, you're wasting your time and I will always win.
Re: Diabolus in Musica
...”Basking in your dying breath”...
The experimental period! And while it’s not quite a total failure, Diabolus has to be their lowest point and my least fave album. BUT the good news is there’s no denying the brutality of Bitter Peace, the groove-hook in Stain of Mind and the unrelenting push of Point. Too bad there aint more of it, there’s only one way to go from here...
Fave track: Stain of Mind
