Bands that would be better with a different vocalist?

[Lateralus14]

Martin Van Drunen? Seriously? Listen to the band more.

Well actually he only bothers me a little on the new album where his vocals seem a little strained at times; other than that he's fine. And Death...The Brutal Way still rules.

 

[-CC-]

I had a feeling you among all people would give me a welcome back in such a spontaneous manner.

Really now?

I will now state that The Damnation Game is a solid vocal performance, especially the Winter's Dream songs.

I just got into Symphony X recently, and while I enjoy the guitar parts and arrangements, the vocals leave something to be desired. It isn't a bad vocal, but it isn't anything really distinctive either. Does anyone else feel the same way?

I think you're crazy. Russell Allen is one of the best vocalists in metal. The last album isn't a very good indicator of that, though. So I suggest listening to The Odyssey.

 

[Chanakya]

I completely second that. Even on the last album his vocals are evidently kickass.

 

[METchildrenALIofCAbodom]

the Black Dahlia Murder, kinda. I guess his voice is growing on me a little

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Deris-era Helloween, Rinehart-era Dark Angel, and Manilla Road would suck less with decent singers.

 

[IntoPhagist]

Deris is amazing what are you talking about.

Charred Walls of the Damned. The music is really solid, but Ripper Owens really ruined the experience.

 

[mutantllama]

Mark is an awesome singer. Nigga you crazy

Yes, Ripper Owens has that power. uke:

female fronted bands

 

[mutantllama]

You're stupid.

 

[Woutjinho]

I was joking

allthough they shouldnt be called female fronted bands because that makes them attention whores. well, they shouldnt be attention whores at all. female vocalists are fine, but dont sing through every riff!

 

[mutantllama]

I do think it's kinda silly how bands do get extra attention just because they have a female in the band.

It's too bad you're joking because female fronted bands are horrible. I can't think of a single good one. Women as metal fans is totally cool, and even as musicians they have the right to play in metal bands if they so choose. But any band that has a female in it....sorry, I just can't take the band seriously. It's more like a novelty.

Bolt Thrower?
(The new) Quo Vadis?
Theater of Tragedy?

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

wow quo vadis has a chick in it?

i could make a possible exception for bolt thrower.

 

[Bitencourt29]

Bolt Thrower's female member, Jo-Anne Bench is the bass player, she doesn't do any vocals as far as I know.

Do you even read your own posts? I guess not...
