DT doesn't strike me as the kind of band who leaves the majority of the writing to one person. All of them have their input/ideas. I'm not sure if the sound will change much, but it would be cool if it did.

I think it's one of the most interesting things that has happened to DT in a long time.
Are you saying you didn't think BC&SL was great?

Even if he left permanently, they could still get along. He's a pretty good drummer, but I think they could get someone good enough to fill that spot. Really the only essential is the active style, and a lot of good drummers can do that.

I haven't heard any of A7X's newest album, It will be interesting to see what effect he's had on their style. 'Cause, honestly, City Of Evil was a truly great metal album, and what I heard of the following one didn't really interest me.
