Which is better, Sean Reinert or Flo Mounier?
Sean Reinert and Flo Mounier are two of technical death metal's founding architects, arriving at the genre's cutting edge from opposite directions in the same early-1990s window. Reinert brought jazz sophistication and dynamic nuance that expanded what death metal could sound like emotionally. Mounier brought relentless speed and gravity-blast innovation that pushed the genre's physical ceiling. Together they represent the two poles — musicality and velocity — that define technical death metal drumming to this day.
