Gabriel's drumming seems fine to me; he obviously wasn't as great as Tomas is, but he's got enough interesting fills to keep AS' material from being straight-ahead blastfests, and he rarely sounds out of time with the rest of the band to me. Also: Obviously NOT better than Lykathea Aflame, but still pretty rad. [4]

I guess he might be somewhat out of time on the fastest blasting passages but that's literally like ten seconds per song usually. It isn't enough to ruin the songs for me, and it actually kind of fits with the chaos of the material.

That's a fair, well-rounded assessment right there. I enjoy Appalling Spawn for what it is, which is a lot of insanity and novelty for their scene back then; but as the drum-focused guy I am it's impossible to ignore how much tighter and faster the band's rhythmic foundation became for Lykathea. There's a raw underground charm to the album, nonetheless, and by 1996, many young bands and musicians yet had to figure out the techniques that became a standard by today .. except for the crazy Canadians, of course.

This is great, but you people who claim it's better than LA are nuts. Also I had no idea Gabriel died last year. R.I.P. :(
