Norman by Boilermaker: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights

"Norman" by Boilermaker is a prime example of 90s post-hardcore, featuring intricate guitar work by Terrin Durfey and drummer Damon Bellorado's dynamic rhythms. The song showcases a blend of melodic and dissonant elements, with Durfey's use of tapping and Bellorado's tight, energetic drumming driving the track. Produced by Steve Albini, the song's raw, unpolished sound perfectly captures the intensity of Boilermaker's performance.
