With Slayer it seems it was always built on the same rhythmic structure, that's where the diversity seems to lack. Sure they can apply dynamics to it and make them slower or more eerie, but the underlying groove doesn't seem to ever change, it's still a Slayer beat, just slower or faster, that's where the lack of dimensional depth seems apparent to me.

Really? Maybe we're talking about two different things here, but Dave Lombardo is one the main reasons I listen to Slayer. His drumming is far more interesting to me than 99.9% of Slayer's contemporaries.
