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

Yeah, anyone saying that album isn't heavy as shit is far too deep in whatever obscure subgenre of extreme metal they like to have an objective opinion.

I'm a big fan of all types of metal, extreme metal, modern metal, etc

But something about those early/mid 2000s metal guitar tones is just brutal in a way newer bands aren't.

Early 2000s was amazing for rock in general, even on the less heavy and alternative side.

Queens of the Stone Age dropped a masterpiece with Songs for the Deaf.
