Naturally. The most obvious example of this is Ulver's Nattens Madrigal, as another said better than I can:
For intensity of appearance as raw black metal, Ulver's lead player used a Bathory-style cheap digital distortion and small amplifier overdriven into a high mix, washing all other sound to behind it. Difference is, Ulver did it in the studio, where Bathory did it in his basement. link...
Obviously, Darkthrone are guilty of this as well, wherein they purposefully went for ****ty sound with "A Blaze in the Northern Sky". That this would be copied by other well financed bands should be obvious to all familiar with the genre.
I don't understand this trend, but there are certainly parralels in everyday life; poor kids dress up, rich kids dress down.
