Hm.. Now that I've heard more from this band, I dunno. The scream crap is sometimes, and I mean sometimes, ok in moderation. The Thunder Rolls cover was too much, but I was able to live with one song, but the rest is just... yea, too much. As for "talent," drop-D is for lazy bastards. The only drop-D band I really like is Tool, and they're iffy, to say the least.
Here's somebody, not a band, but Justin King. Now, ladies and gentlemen, we have some talent in this thread.

Kind of off topic, considering these guys are trash metal, but King still plays much much better. And not only is it impressive to watch, but it's very nice to listen to as well. Don't believe me? See for yourself.
