I'm ignorant

I think the key thing with this is there's actually some sonic territory left free for the bass, frequency-wise, by the guitar sounds. The key is finding space in the mix for everything and, in a band context for everyone to concentrate of the overall sound, rather than just the sound of their respective instruments.

Seems to me though that there's lately been a bit of a shift back to actually being able to hear the bass as a distinct instrument in metal, which really wasn't the case for a fairly significant chunk of the 90s and 00s. Part of this is perhaps due to somewhat "retro-ey" tendencies in some bits of metal, but I suspect it's equally that people were getting bored with unrelenting walls of mid-scooped guitar.

Yep, I completely agree. I also think that a lot of it has to do with computers and the internet, and that it's now so easy to learn how to make a really good mix where everything has it's place rather than just 'everything louder than everything else'.

Animals as Leaders are the only metal band I've heard that have really gotten away with not needing a bassist.

Saying bass doesn't go with metal is like saying guitars don't go with bass. It's a bit silly really.

Unless it's bread with potato in it, it's not breakfast to me!

I did, and they sorted me out with some overpriced glasses and "monthly" contact lenses that become dust magnets after three days
