This video/song is great for a couple reasons. It has legendary Death frontman Chuck Schuldiner (RIP) and it's a great example of the 80's headbanging, long hair, furious speed metal riffing that you'll ever see from 1:23 to 2:25, definitely worth a watch.
Saw them in '89 and '90. An amazing, on point, live band.
This one is for the guitarists on the board. Now, I've seen Destruction live several times and they've never played this song. I'd always assumed it's just too difficult to replicate. The speed is so intense and the riffing so intricate, I figured the guitar player just didn't want to tackle it live.
Here's the studio version, listen to 1:43 - 3:33. It's just amazing the talent that this guitarist has (Destruction was a 3 man group back then).
Destruction - United by Hatred
Finally, must be a roadie clip from back in the day, but here's a live performance of the song to compare it to. I'm telling you man, the ability that this guy has as a guitarist is phenomenal. I think the hardcore bands have always been under appreciated in that regard.
Just watch the effort and the speed that this guy is cranking out live from 1:50 - 3:50. He's all over the fret board like a frickin' beast, hair flying everywhere, not even looking at what he's doing most of the time ! Amazing !!

Good stuff P101. Rammstein are the kings of industrial metal. If you like them you can definitely identify with Fear Factory. Same concept only F/F is heavier, more punishing and intense.
Wow, great posts GR ! Coroner is old school, I was fortunate enough to see them back in '88. They were always known as incredibly talented musicians for the genre. Here's one of my favorite's from the late 80's.
