People can say what they want, but it's amazing what they've done in terms of popularity considering their earlier music and imagery. Iowa being a Platinum selling album is just crazy.

Especially crazy given that Iowa is a relatively pretty heavy album.

Relatively ? Really?

That album has death+black metal and grindcore elements and sections and blast beats

Is it pure death, black metal or grindcore? Of course not but it's fucking brutal and nihilistic as fuck
