If i understand this correctly, I'd say it's unlikely that anyones going to be doing downpicks quite that fast - adding the upstroke would be the same as alternate picking 16ths to a 400bpm blastbeat, considering their fastest song is around 340bpm with alternate 16th note picked parts, i'd say it's almost impossible that someone could go all the way up to 400bpm.
I heard from someone who has the dvd that the song in question was about 320bpm, i've alternate picked that fast in the past with 16ths, but hats off to anyone who can just do the 8th note downpicks at that speed, that's incredible control of the pick.
