always thought that the first riff on obscura was best described as 'a washing machine getting thrown down the stairs.'

Man, the very opening of that song kills me everytime, that quick stop and go section where he blasts for just a second with the hi hat and then immediately switches it up and is hitting the crash ride while blasting. It's one of the most hectic sounding things I've ever heard. That's a fine example of utilizing blast beats properly. Technically precise, appropriately placed, and adds a necessary layer of intensity to compliment the riffing which is completely over the top.

They reinvented how to play guitar on Obscura

This. I remember listening to the album while reading early reviews up its release. It got panned all over the place, and one reviewer went as far as to say that Luc forgot how to play guitar and that it gave the reviewer the impression that they recorded the sounds of throwing their guitars down a spiral staircase. I couldn't figure out what album everyone else was listening to because Obscura literally melted my mind and I still can't get enough of it even to this day.
