A friend showed me these guys. This is the most hardcore and laid back drummer I've ever seen:

I see I’m a little behind here… EDIT: or not….

Stumbled over this one although I’m not completely sure I like it or not. If nothing else it has its own style.

Female vocals on hardcore metal is new to me though. It's growing on me though.

EDIT: Also it feels a little like we've come full circle to the OPs first post.... somehow.... although he might disagree.


EDIT2:

Totally unrelated, I sat down and learned Dire Straits' "You and Your Friend". After reading the lyrics more carefully it seems there's only one way to interpret that song:

An old perv is waiting for a couple for doing the nasty. The outcome is unknown.

That, err, took me a little by surprise...

Even though no one can deny Marcin is talented (and at that age even). It's just easy to get tired of his style IMO.

I like this one though, where he explains and shows he can play normally too (yeh, why shouldn't he be able to?):

I've probably posted this one before but he does somewhat the same. Marcin does it on western strings though. He must have some hardcore calloused skin on his fingers.
