I don’t dig the lo-fi production

Yeah, production is totally "early '80s"

Yeah, reminds me those underground demo-tapes

Metal Latin America, Chile in particular, seems to love this kind of production, the debut Ripper album and the latest Hellish album had analogous sound work.

The underground bands had that lo-fi sound because they didn’t have money for a decent studio. Who would say that decades later there would be bands trying to emulate that sound.

I think part of it is emulation, the other part is band/label-related dearth of technical means due to limited financial resources.

Do bands like horrendous, tomb mold, morbus chron, ulthar record in lo-fi? Cause I dig what they re doing x) it sounds great to me.

They avoid over-compression and over-production but it’s not lo-fi

Oh ok tks...sometimes I get a bit confused there.I rather put play lol and pump the vol uuup! you never know

Well, at least for me...maybe the dudes think it's lo-fi
