From an interview with Steve Grimmett.
"Max Norman seems to get the best overall metal sound, especially his huge guitars and upfront drums. Is there any secret to it? "I think it's down to miking technique. Max spent two days miking up the guitar cabs alone, moving them one inch this way, then that way. The studio didn't have any special equipment, although we hired a lot in. He also spent ages miking up the drums and one thing I've noticed with Max is the massive drum sound he gets. Max spent seven years as an engineer so he knows what he wants and what the band is capable of."
This guy recorded the first five Ozzy solo albums as well as Grim Reaper's "Rock You to Hell" and a bunch of other Metal stuff. His sound was truly professional and of course he retired around 1993.
