Flemming 'Razz' Rasmussen (born 1958) is a Danish engineer, producer and owner and founder of Sweet Silence Studios in Copenhagen, Denmark. Throughout his career he's worked mainly on heavy metal music, making his reputation as the engineer and co-producer of Metallica's albums Ride the Lightning (1984), Master of Puppets (1986) and ...And Justice for All (1988). While he received critical acclaim for the first two; ...And Justice for All got a mixed reception, mainly due to a strong suggestion the bass guitar had been mixed out. It was the last time he would work with the band. Regardless of the reception of the album, Lars Ulrich, the drummer of Metallica, was jumping with joy after the album was recorded, thinking that it was the album he always wanted to make. He produced the Morbid Angel album Covenant, Blind Guardian's albums Imaginations from the Other Side, The Forgotten Tales and Nightfall in Middle-Earth, Artillery's By Inheritance and Ensiferum's Iron, amongst others.... less
