I'll check out some of these bands. See, I'm the opposite on Behemoth. I love Blackened Death, ESPECIALLY when it's polished. To me, the level of polish makes it easier to appreciate all of the musicianship as opposed to when it's just unrefined noise (EDIT: I don't mean to imply that it's "just noise," as it's obviously the same music I merely meant that I listen for musicality, and that's easier to notice when the production is cleaner). I mean, I appreciate all these bands, but I prefer the ones that put a lot of effort into decent production.
