Darkthrone: Fenriz

I'm currently hooked on Darkthrone's Frostland Tapes not because of the music's majesty (it's a set of unproduced materials, how stellar can these be?) but Fenriz's drumming is admirable in terms of intricacy & dynamics. While majority of the black metal drummers choose to live by blast beats, Fenriz here takes time to make his drumming interesting, if a non-drummer like me would pay attention then the implication is clear; a good musician, regardless of his instrument of choice, would intrigue the common understanding.
