what's the reason for the bass not having a higher volume in death metal/black metal? its like the bass is inaudible

It's because of the mic that was used to record. It's always because of the mic. It's rarely because of a mixing decision, it's never intended (to be inaudible).
You don't want a higher volume, due to acoustic reasons, you want to EQ the instruments. Bass frequencies are more felt than heard, you always hear the bass live, less so at home because of your listening devices. In a shitty recording like this, it would have been surprising if you heard the bass.

I only ever heard some of the songs from The Devil Speaks In Tongues but I thought they were really good

Other anon explained it well, live footage is hard to mix faithfully. The sound at the show itself is completely different than what you're hearing in the recording of it.

Even deaf people can feel bass heavy music.
