And I suppose all those power metal bands do?
Anyway, dirty production/fuzz can be just as boring. "Funeralopolis" would sound horrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrible if it had clean production. But then again, fuzzy production with something like
Blackwater Park would detract from the sound. The cleanness of the production definitely isn't sanitized or fake and doesn't make the sound of the
BP any less aggressive. Plus, as especially seen with black metal, the lo-fi production can sound just as intentional and fake (and sometimes unnecessary) as good production.
