Just came back to this reaction and a couple things I noticed that I didn't catch before: 1) New section to new section to new section and just goes from one thing to the next (Polyphia) - LOL....that's exactly how I feel. I feel like Polyphia plays complicated parts just to play a complicated part where AAL is a little more melodic with better song structure. 2) There are a few songs where both guitarists vamp on a part where the drummer just goes off live. "Wave of Babies", "Physical Education", "Inner Assasins" and "Ectogenesis" are the immediate ones that come to mind. And he's always experimenting so every solo is different. You can watch him play a song 10 different times and get 10 different solos. Check out a vid titled "Matt Garstka Beast Medley 2018". That's clips from a drum cam of some of those songs.

Jinjer is of course a Metal band (from Ukraine), but they don’t consider themselves one, and love experimenting with incorporating different genres. The emeralds are fish scales. I believe this was filmed to let Vlad the drummer show his skills as he’d just joined the band. He’s a classically trained pianist, guitar player and drummer.
