Quotes
If you listen to a lot of the heavy thrash metal thrash bands, even Dark Angel (band) Dark Angel, Kreator (band) Kreator or Celtic Frost – they were heavy as hell, but I always though the production sounded like shit [...] There was this general consensus that nobody who produced stuff like Sepultura gave a shit about it. They’d say, ‘Oh, they play too fast and it sounds like a dog barking.’ [...] no one ever tried to make them sound good. And at the time, Jim, and Tom really were pioneers as far as doing drum triggering. And they invested money in PC electronics and figured how to use that to make high really good recordings. And I jumped right in the fire and learned as I went along.
Quotes about Scott Burns
Scott knew what to do with fast and brutal bands, and not a lot of guys did at the time [...] It really drew people from the death metal scene down here. That was a big factor in Tampa becoming a haven here. They wanted to be close to the studio.
Terrance Hobbs of Suffocation (band) Suffocation
Many fans have told me that "Tomb..." is their favorite album because the production is so heavy. There is no doubt that Scott helped Cannibal Corpse a great deal with the excellent production work he did on this album.
