(Not having a go at Mike, this is just a stylistic question)
Is this a 'normal' thing to expect with mastering compression for pounding hard rock/metal or is there a way to make it more transparent? The reason I'm asking is that a single for a local band has this 'cymbal ducked by the kick drum' effect prominently throughout the song and I was taught that compression should be as transparent as possible unless used as a deliberate enhancement effect. To my ears, obvious mix buss compression such as this doesn't fall into the 'transparent' category.
I can't recall hearing it in early hard rock or even early metal songs.
Is this a new style that's crept into the hard rock genre?

Sounds like simple side-chaining. Its more prevalent in Pop, EDM, POP/Rock, House Music, etc. Drawing attention is exactly what was intended--in my opinion. Nice touch!
