If you own a copy of Demonic, have you noticed the heavy distortion on every track? Bass seems heavily blown out of proportion, the guitars are not clear, you hear the buzz and scratches. The same problem was there with Sepultura's Against.
Do you have a copy specifically printed for India? If so, there's a lot of quality control issues out there with jsut about everything. If not, I don't know.
Well, there were three 'underground' albums I bought on tape, including this one-
Sepultura- Against- Excess base, weak, muffled cymbals. Recorded on Roadrunner's Indian connection, Music India
Judas Priest- Demolition- One side keeps cracking up at regular intervals- it happened on first play. This was on a Tips tape
Testament- Demonic- Heavy bass again.
These are recorded on Indian tapes, such as Tips and Music Today, so there may just be quality issues regarding the tape, but loud bass is something odd. Then again, some albums are not recorded properly at first go, such as Iron Maiden's X factor or the Real Live Dead stuff, and that's a problem with most underground recordings.
