^ Playing style and equipment is always a factor, naturally. Also, I might stress to point out that I DON'T dislike EoV's sound, I just felt it wasn't quite as gritty and brutal as it could've been 
Excellent albums ruined by shitty production

I personally prefer the bone dry sound on Tortured Existence. Not so much a fan of the production of EOV..
EoV doesn't sound bad by any means, it's still the heaviest album you'll ever get your grubby mitts on. But alas, Scott Burns' work would've made it just that littlke bit heavier.

Scott Burns made brilliant work with certain bands.
I like it how he gets the potential out of every band..
I just don't understand why the production for Death's Leprosy could go so wrong, It's always been one of my favorite albums but at the time I have problems with it anyhow. There are fantastic songs but they could have sounded more intense.

Leprosy was one of the earlier ones, that might have something to do with it. Scott Burns did most of his work in the 90's, Leprosy was what... '87? '88?

yeah that's true. Maybe it would sound completely different when it would have come out in the 90's..
Also have to mention Persecution Mania here, not to mention it's really awesome and all but I couldn't listen to that album too often cause it sounds very thin. Definitly would have deserved a better sound.
But well we should talk about newer albums:
Saint Vitus Die Healing could also have done better anyhow though Harris Johns (Kreator, Coroner..) has produced it.
Maybe it's also because it's Scott Reagers on vocals and not Wino.
Scott Weinrich is god.

A good point about Scott Bruns. I didn't mean that all his albums sound the same. Just that a lot of them share a similar heaviness. I didn't realise he did Focus... there's no comparison between that and Tortured Existence.
I'd like to mention Xentrix's For Whose Advantage. I wish that album sounded better, it's really thin compared to their first album, although the songwriting is better...

yeah, some of my friends are into black metal, and sometimes they let me hear something and then it sounds like the song is recorded with a cell phone or something... i can't listen to that

Scott Burns didn't produce Leprosy. He was just the sound engineer on that one although it could be argued that this was his main strength as a producer anyway, to capture a band's sound and keep its individuality (the complete opposite of Alex Perialas then who made everyone sound like Anthrax basically).
I love Leprosy's sound btw. And it is the archetypical death metal album.
Good call on Xentrix. They did need beefier sound.
