Most death metal, at the time, even by Swedish standards, had heft, a weight attributed to studios like Sunlight and Morrisound. Though available only through mail-order (or really good indie stores) the year of its release, A Velvet Creation had a remarkably thin production. Swedish upstarts Eucharist presented a strange first impression with 1993 jaw-dropper A Velvet Creation. Settling on the list before you wasn’t easy, but it’s fairly obvious to veterans, who were there when all these records went down, came out, and were derided–in ‘zines and magazines–for their terrible productions. He countered with Morbid Angel’s Blessed Are the Sick and At the Gates’ With Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkness. I proposed Malevolent Creation’s Retribution and Carcass’ Swansong. So, Albert and I started discussing two more albums to round out the Top 5. Most of the time it’s due to two things: money, which equals time and experience, which equals quality. There are reasons why some albums sound better than others. Certainly, there are reasons why, say, Breeding the Spawn sounded like an army of pitbulls arguing with a battalion of Sherman tanks muffled by the thickest pillow on planet. Immediately, I recognized a gold post idea if there ever was one. The body read: “The greatest death metal albums marred by terrible production.” He then presents three albums, Reek of Putrefaction, The Red in the Sky is Ours, and Breeding the Spawn. The subject header from Albert read: “top 5 idea”.
