What a drummer has this band....he is a nightmare, doing a lot of double bass patterns and being fast in the blast beats. Also he plays a lot of breaks and changes and he has a great sound similar to the drums in Fear Factory. Ab: Norm is a powerful and brutal death metal band with many arrangements (in fact the tracks here have many guitar riffs each one and that is great ). The vocals in this band are guttural and fit perfectly the violent music that this guys play. Also I have to remark tha great job that the bass player does through all the recording giving support both to the guitars and to the drums. Another thing that caught my attention is the combination of this music with the aforementioned drums sound that gives sort of an electronic feeling to the tracks and makes the song even heavier. Check this extremely brutal band now !!
