Sure, I will try it. Thanks for the tip.

I always heard that Cradle of Filth was black metal, but I'm no expert here. How do you classify them (or Dimmu Borgir and Emperor) if it is not?

To clarify what I wrote earlier: I do not care only about virtuosos, it is just that I want a minimum of talent. I consider so-called musician who don't know how to play as impostors, just like you would consider someone who calls himself a doctor but does not know if you heart is on the left or the right side of your torso as an impostor. To give you an exemple, I have more respect for AC/DC's drummer than for a metal drummer who can do double bass drum at lightning speed but cannot do it on the tempo. The foundation of drumming is giving and keeping the tempo, if a drummer can't do that, I don't care how fast he can go, to me he is pure crap. But show me a drummer who goes at lightning speed and can keep the tempo (like Pete Sandoval and Gene Hoglan) and then I am very impressed! (Of course this comment is about every kind of music, I am not talking exclusively about BM.)
