Im not testing, Im listening. Sure there are degrees of creativity involved in mastering & mixing, but oddly enough, more often than not I've actually seen them live. And your definition of metal is amusing - id suggest you Ne Obliviscaris, Fleshgod Apocalypse within the segment I mentioned or Dream Theater, Haggard or Epica as multi-instrumental, operatic recordings.

I did not attempt to define Metal. I only tried to point out that it is often heavily compressed, as is pop music, see for example:

I certainly find the idea of playing this stuff on a 10K Hifi amusing, which was perhaps your original point?
