The only metal band I had passing familiarity with courtesy of one moderately forgettable but pretty anime (Odin, photon ship starlight), one Scott Carpenter movie, and as I recall Shaun of the Dead, was Loundness.

Yes, I suspect it's just a crappy mix. I've noticed this problem with other power metal bands, whereby the skill of the guitarist gets lost in the wash thanks to a soulless and tinny mix. (Ironically, Yngwie has actually managed to do that to himself, since he produces many of his own albums, and quite a lot of them sound terrible.)

New legend is the best sounding, and it doesn't sound like they dumped as much Bass.

It could be a problem with their mixer being an idiot, as is often the case, but it feels stilted and artificial, like they had a midi board resampling Yngwi instead of a lead.
