To me, a lot people really get wrapped up in the technical side of metal and what's metal and what's not and more double-kick and more blast beats and more technicality, but for me, I'm a song person.

I miss the days when it was acceptable to listen to everything from Priest and Maiden to Slayer and Venom.
