6 Joey Sturgis

I like the way his albums sound. The drums especially, they sound really punchy. But anyway, he's worked with bands like Oceano, Miss May I and The Devil Wears Prada. I'm not a fan of his work with Asking Alexandria or any of those other bands, but his albums sound really good regardless. - MetalFoREVer1228

7 Mark Lewis

I believe he works with Suecof. He's worked with my 2 favorite deathcore bands, Whitechapel and Carnifex. He's also worked with Deicide, Dååth, God Forbid, and others. - MetalFoREVer1228

8 Machine

Not much is really known of him other than he's worked with the likes of Lamb of God, Suicide Silence, and Miss May I - MetalFoREVer1228

9 Ross Robinson

He's produced with some of the finest metal bands out there, including Sepultura, Soulfly, Slipknot, Machine Head and Korn. - MetalFoREVer1228

Korn, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Deftones, Sepultura, Soulfly, Machine Head and Fear Factory...
Great producer.

10 Andy Sneap

I like his preset on metal foundry and the quality control he has on the records

We want him for one maiden album

The Contenders

11 Flemming Rasmussen

Produced Metallica's Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets, and... And Justice For All. He also produced Morbid Angel's Covenant.

Superb work with Metallica, and then broke all records (in my opinion) with By Inheritance.

Why Flemming Rasmussen isn't higher on this list is beyond me

12 Colin Richardson

A true pioneer of the genre, deserves to feature at least in the top 3.. Every one of his records sound amazing, and completely individual.

Produced great albums with the likes of Machine Head, Bullet for My Valentine, Carcass, and Trivium. - MetalFoREVer1228

One of, if not the best metal(core) producer, Rise To Remain, Trivium, Bullet...

He's awesome

13 Martin Birch

Must be in the top 3. Rising, Heaven and Hell, Machine Head, and Piece of Mind all have the best sound.

Machine Head, Heaven and Hell, The Number of the Beast, Rainbow Rising,
Need more? The Mob Rules, Long Live Rock 'n' Roll, Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, Made In Japan, all Maiden albums (1981-1992), Deep Purple In Rock, Fireball, Burn. Excellent producer.

The one and only...the best of 80s is PIECE OF MIND...Andy Sneap said that
