Bands with good Death and clean vocals

[OrchidForest]

Any bands you could recommend that have bad ass death vocals but good clean as well... Something like Opeth.

 

[Ross]

lol scar lol symmetry lol

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Maybe Cynic?

 

[waif]

Along the line of Scar Symmetry, Soilwork.

/obvious

Cynic doesn't qualify as badass in any way. Cool, definitely, but not badass.

 

[The Ozzman]

Raunchy

 

[CF87]

Novembers Doom.

 

[The Ozzman]

Swallow the Sun

 

[waif]

^both good calls

 

[Dak]

Swallow the Sun, one of those bands I always forget about until a song comes on during shuffle and I am like "How do I keep forgetting this band"

 

[Ross]

Daylight Dies

 

[Lateralus14]

I second Novembers Doom though I wish he sang more than spoke monotone doom vocals a little more often. Still better than Dan Swano's epicly cheesy cleans about princesses and all that nonsense.

 

[Einherjar86]

Amorphis
Suidakra
Stormlord
Haggard
Hollenthon
Turisas

 

[optionthree]

Edge of Sanity, definitely. Dan has such a fucking awesome growl.

 

[Ross]

Turisas

not really

 

[TheInsane]

Anaal Nathrakh - not that much death metal growls but extreme vocals combined with clean vocals. Increasingly so on the last couple of albums.

 

[Hypnos]

Unmoored
The Provenance
Primordial
Forefather

 

[Einherjar86]

not really

I knew I'd get shit, but they really do have good vocals. And they really are an awesome band.

its not that, its the fact that Turisas dont have death growls.

 

[Hypnos]

Turisas?

i really don't grab their popularity. to me they are just too pompous and cheesy. there's not much spirituality in their plastic pagan metal

 

[Einherjar86]

The Varangian Way does on a few tracks: "Cursed Be Iron," "Five Hundred and One," "Dnieper Rapids."

Yeah, that's the common complaint people have with them. I think they're fun, though. I don't mind the cheesy symphonics, and I like the theatricality of their performance. All in all, I think they just have fun doing what they do.
