I mean when you watch Iron Maiden Live, or All American Rejects, or Muse, the sound quality is awesome, and so is the videoing.. For most Death Metal bands or Paganfest/MetalHammers etc, the quality is terrible.

Most death/prog metal bands aren't recognized by the world over, and as such don't get the perks a more recognized band would, like high-quality film crews.

There you have it. They might be recognized in just about every country, but only by a very small amount of people. Metal bands go all over the place. They travel to countries like Singapore, Chile, Guatemala, South Africa, New Zealand, Japan, Israel, you name it, and fans always turn up for the shows. However, these artists never reach mainstream popularity and thus don't get the good film crews and quality equipment.

Because the music doesn't appeal to EVERYONE. Everyone just thinks they're satan worshipers and slit their wrists every minute of everyday of every week of eve.... you get the picture. But its just people loving ***** music and hating decent, talented music. I actually like Muse though, not so much their new stuff but the old stuff is pretty rad. And also I make sure I listen to almost all underground or non-mainstream music.

Death metal bands are almost never as popular as a lot of music (including Iron Maiden, Muse, etc.) because it is not a very accessible genre, so they tend not to get as good production crews.

Because they are typically filmed by people in the crowd with cell phones and digital cameras rather than fully financed film crews.

Maybe because you are getting elbowed/headbutted more than half of the time.
