about the recording tecniques savage clone mentioned:
i do think a a difficult, noisy recording can actually add a lot to the music, as long as it doesn't go against the mood the music is going for. for example, i still haven't gotten into the new celtic frost album because the production is too clear and, to me, what made the frost special was that they could work the fucked up, lo-fi sound to their advantage and now they sound like any third rate doom band coming out today, the songs might not be bad but the production is so wrong, i can't really hear the songs. another example of poor production values working in favor of the music is the goslings.
