are you a good growler?

[Itay]

i find my growling REALLY bad


how are yours?

 

[Duvall]

I can do a raspy-type growl, but not for a long time. I like doing the intro to Leper Affinity

I'd love to growl like Steve Tucker from Morbid Angel....

 

[MetalManCPA]

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

How's that?

Vocally, any attempt at a growl by me would sound like I'm sick.

 

[Orchid]

I don't know if my growling sounds like shit or just bad, but at least last weekend I was able to growl through some Opeth and our song "Pellucid Lake" for over two-three hours straight with some clean vocals in between without breaking anything or even having a slightest ache in my throat (and no coughing).

Maybe if I could nurture my sound into some direction, with good recording equipment, EQing and some effects (such as a slight reverb) it might sound ok. Gotta try that some day.

 

[HoserHellspawn]

Heh, come on, Orchid, you've gotta put something down on tape (or harddrive) for us, man! I want to hear those vox!

 

[Jo]

Meow grrrrr, I will never stop! It feels so good! Roarrrr...like a tiger! No, I am not a good growler!

 

[Gdc]

Well, when I have been drinking some beers I can growl like Chris Barnes


Cheers

 

[Mikael is God]

I guess i'm the only one... yea my friend derek told me that i have gotten as low as nile vocals sometimes...... im surprised nobody else can do it??? We'll I use it in my band... and im a singer... but theres nobody else?

 

[tenebrose]

I purr and occasionally hiss, but I don't snarl nor growl......

To be honest, I never tried and I have a peculiar feeling I'm not a very good growler....

 

[Windom Pearl]

Well, I guess I'm a good growler, at least that's what I'm told... But to keep the voice steady and strong many seconds is still a bit hard.

 

[FleischBrenner]

I guess I must be pretty good at it, I practice a lot, anyway, which gets me a lot of funny looks. It's a shame that most American death metal bands wish they were Suffocation, otherwise I'd probably try and growl for a band.

 

[Kem]

Are there any bands out there that have female growly vox?

 

[Onan]

actually there are, Arch Enemy's Wages Of Sin for example, or Opera IX

 

[Alucard]

Well I don't think anybody is able to growl the first time they try. It takes alot of practice to build your voice up. I must not practice enough because it just makes my cough.

And for some reason I can't seem to enjoy female growling.

 

[Duvall]

Even though it's nu-metal, Kittie has some female growling and screaming.

I saw this German death metal band at Wacken called Holy Moses, I'd never heard of them before, but they were fuckin great. I didn't really realize they had a female growling until about the third song or so, I was kinda far back and it was hard to see, but it absolutely shocked me, she had a really powerful roar.

I can growl like Tomi from Amorphis did (I practise that since 1996!) and Thomas AG Jensen from Saturnus very well and I can do lots of frosty-blackmetal-screaming as well like on Empyrium's 'A Wintersunset...' & 'Songs of Moors & Misty Fields'.
I tried Brave Murder Day tupe of screaming, but I find it very hard for me voice.

You will probably say to me to fuck off now, but I use clean vocals rather than roars and people said my voice reminds of Fernando(Moonspell), Mikael(you know who, and the singing from Morningrise) and Marcus(Empyrium)....
