      actually there is no good albums from annihilator except the first one "alice in hell". please correct me if i'm wrong but all original members quits band except jeff waters and i think jeff plays fast but he is not able to create memorable riffs, interludes etc. i like crystall ann so much but when i tried other albums i couldn't find any catchy intros, melodies,riffs like that. they're just bunch of fast thrash metal riffs.

      The solo's in Don't Bother Me and No Zone blow my mind. Speed is also really hard to play, but mostly for picking - it's a shuffle, so playing it at, ha, speed, and with accuracy and clarity, is a real challenge for your picking hand.

      Yep. Even though it's a huge meme, it really captures the essence of early metal rhythm guitar (Sabbath, Priest, Etc). Drop Z-flat djentcore sounds like a far-cry from Children of the Grave, but all it's done is crank the emphasis on the rhythm up to 11.

    This is hilarious because I try to explain to people why I'm a good guitar player who has been playing for 25 years, yet there is so much that I'm also inexplicably terrible at and this video perfectly encapsulates that. My picking hand (left for me) is soooo bad and stuff like this gives me so much trouble, but my hand can dance all over the fret board like nothing.

    Gojira's L'Enfant Sauvage is also a great example as it is not just normal strumming but also a specific way of pulling the strings when you strum up. I'm a guitar teacher and I've found that a lot of even reasonably advanced students still struggle with the nuances in that riff.
