At first, I was neutral, and let them slide...

At first, did you like death voice?

I put up with the growling vocals of very few bands and when I do listen to those bands I sometime just laugh at the growls. I can see using a growl to enhance a passage but I just don't understand why it's use to sing some lyrics.

first black/death vocals i listened to were Mirai's (from Sigh). i think i hated those "horrible growls" at the time (thoughts about why would someone want to pretend he's dying for 50 minutes or so came to mind 
). after some time it grew on me, since the music was so good, and now i love it. some vocalists are better than others, ofcourse, but generally death vocals are awesome. you may say i'm still a bit old fashioned since i prefer the combination of both regular and death vocals in an album.

i didnt like death vox at first, but after listening to cannibal corpse, i realized how much they rule.

The first growls I heard.... I think it was Deicide or Morbid Angel. I liked it at once. Thought it sounded cool. At that time, 1994 I think, I was looking for heavier and heavier music - at the moment I listenend to brutal thrash stuff like Slayer and Sepultura - and a friend introduced me too a record he just had bought with either Morbid Angel or Deicide, I don´t remember. But I was hooked!
the first REAL metal band i heard was In Flames, years ago...it was before Colony came out...the first songs i heard were Dialogue With The Stars and Acoustic Medley (both instrumental songs) and i fucking loved it...i didnt know they were metal, i thought they were an instrumental band or something.....so i downloaded a few more songs (i think Jotun was the first)...i never heard any guitar like that before, and then the vocals came on and i was dissapointed and scared shitless...but i kept listening because the guitars were so amazing....after a while i tolerated it and then began to appreciate it....now i love most death metal vocalists, nothing makes me happier

Well, at first deathvox sounded horrible in my ears,
but actually it wasn't death vocals, more black.
Going from listening to straight forward rock +
Metallica to Burzum was a little off... Hehe... Then I
heard Opeth and loved the music, but what did it
for me was actually some numetalbands!
Then I heard Within Temptation's "The Dance"
album. It's a fantastic piece of art, and after this I
preffer death vox. Clean is not powerfull enough.

my first taste of death vox was a few years ago when a friend tried to get me into bands like obituary, cryptopsy, deicide etc. etc. but at the time i just couldnt get used to the vocals, i loved the music but the vox were just too different
then about a year later i was introduced to opeth, and the song the drapery falls, i was loving the start with the clean vocals, then about the 5min mark in came the roaring death vocals and i was like o my fucking god i've wasted a year of my life, and been hooked ever since

A-HAHAHA!
I sort of went slowly into death vox music - from Marylin Manson to Fear Factory etc. until I am where I am today.
the first time i heard it i was like god damn the music is fuckijg awesome... but the vocals are a little cliche for death... but that opinion was changed before the song ever ended.... especially when i saw that Mikael could sing, and that he wasnt growling cause he couldnt sing... that made them have that much more impact on the music, ya know what i mean?

When I got into Opeth I was already listening to different kinds of metal music with death vocals and without...
I've always liked Mikael's death vocals... For me it was his clean vocals to get more used to...

as i was a small boy, i didn't understand why some guys are having such a deep voice and i didn't like it. But later i start listening harder music like Pantera and i start to like this.
