Well, the Kataklysm dude, I don't know if I think about the same, but he wasn't "that" good according to. The main thing that comes to my mind about this guy is his blast. With the hand... he is so fast... but with the base drum!!! Unbelievable! His blast, it is about 1 kick per minute....... really to slow on his blast with the base drum. But for the rest, he's okay.
And the thing about Death.... You gotta be kidding. This is one of the first real Death Metal band. I know that nowadays, they woudn't be a "pure death metal band", but they were one of the first, and they really rock!! SYL cannot be compared to Death.. this isn't the same thing at all. Just as I said, comparing apples and oranges.... Of course SYL is so good, but Death was also damn good. It's all a question of "timing". Back in "Death's time", they were the best in what they were doing. Anyway... you all know what I mean.
