Death Angel - "Stagnant" (from "Act III", 1990)

Are you sure about this one? Even by a very loose standard of what Act III represents for Death Angel, I still don't hear much in the way of Gateway material on this album, or this song in particular. Maybe it's some of that funky verse riff?

I'd say it's alternative metal personally but feel free not to include it if you don't agree. Perhaps replace it with Suicidal Tendencies' "Send Me Your Money" from "Lights Camera Revolution" which I've also tagged as alternative metal?
