Which is better, Ben Koller or Inferno?
Ben Koller and Inferno represent two very different corners of extreme drumming united by raw intensity. Koller channels chaotic, hardcore-bred unpredictability into Converge's mathcore assault — his playing feels dangerous because it is built to feel uncontrolled even when it isn't. Inferno channels disciplined, sustained brutality into Behemoth's blackened death metal, delivering relentless blast beats with theatrical stamina across some of extreme metal's biggest stages. The debate is American hardcore-metal chaos versus Polish blackened death metal endurance — both are titans of their respective extreme metal traditions.
