    not necessarily my cup of tea, but the playing is absolutely amazing! He is so fluid and clean. He is doing some insane chord voicings & switching between them so fast yet every note is articulated. From an instrumental level I could listen to him play all day long, and I'd love to see him play-thru this whole album on his own. So entertaining to watch someone masterful at what they do

To us extreme metalheads we love those too and we are able to experience the beauty which comes with theirs songs. As someone else pointed out, he delivers soo much true emotions through his playing which just has to be discovered and which is not heard on a lot of death metal records.
