- If you want to listen to an INCREDIBLE drummer, listen to Alex
- Marquez's work on Malevolent Creation's "Retribution." I guarantee that
- if you seriously enjoy truly _heavy metal_ drumming (i.e., not drumming
- in Guns N' Roses or Pantera or Queensryche or the rest of the poser
- bands) you will absolutely be amazed by Marquez's work. And to see him
- in concert (as I've been fortunate enough to see) is something else.
