Best Death Metal Growl

[Ocelot2010]

Self explanatory

My vote's on Dallas

 

[diddykoi6]

Bathblood Because i love michael Schumacher voice.

I cant believe youve missed the great Jeff Walker from there. And Chuck. Out of that list theres only a few id include for the vote, theres too many standard people to choose from.

I vote other. And itd be a fight between Jeff Walker and Chuck Schuldiner. But we know they dont fight

 

[Podgie]

Yeah... I think before creating a thread like this maybe do a little more research?

I mean, there's no John Tardy (Obituary) on the list. I consider his voice to be among the most unique in the whole of death metal. The same goes for Martin van Drunen (Pestilence, Asphyx, Hail of Bullets), faboulously HORRIBLE voice

Another great growl is that of Suffocation vocalist Frank Mullen, who was one of the first (if not the first) to bring truly low-pitched/deeply guttural vocals into death metal.

Great thread regardless Ocelot.

I've not voted yet but if it came down to who's the best vocalist, technically, it would have to be Corpsegrinder, for me. Though Akerfeldt does have a fantastic voice, and Glen Benton's growls are legendary.

One thing I will say it, Muhammed Suicmez isn't a great vocalist... but who cares when you can play solos like that?!

Chuck Billy? I know Testament's not death metal, but the a lot of his vocals are in the same league. From that list I'd say Åkerfeldt

 

[D.Ingram]

David Vincent, Jeff Walker, Olly Wiebel, Karl Willets.

 

[diddykoi6]

Mace Windu, Obi Wan Kenobi, Qui Gon Jin, Pablo Cabases, Yoda, Gimli, etc.

 

[Covet Chaos]

David Vincent, Karl Willets.

THIS.

Too many classics have ben left out for the poll.

And as Podgie said, John Tardy. How could i forget that man? Obituary are the riff kings... but the vocals make it also.

 

[D.Ingram]

CHOPPED IN HAAAAAAAAAAAALFF! FEEL THE BLOOD SPILL FROM YOUR MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUTH!!

 

[Covet Chaos]

III DONNT CARREE WHAT THEY SAAAYYYYY I DONT CCAARRREE IILL DO WHAT I WANNNTT!!!

 

[metallicdistort]

Out of the options provided, I'd go with Glen Benton. His voice is just so deep and powerful, it's the bassiest thing in his music. He just sounds inhuman

 

[D.Ingram]

Might I also put Dan up for nomination, as some of the stuff hes done is pretty fucking brutal. Very Karl Willets!

 

[Ocelot2010]

You guys know there was an "other" option right?
I was tired as fuck and listed guys with deep guttural growls off the top of my head.

 

[Covet Chaos]

Might I also put Dan up for nomination, as some of the stuff hes done is pretty fucking brutal. Very Karl Willets!

 

[D.Ingram]

Exactly Dan, exactly

 

[Keenan]

Chuck.

Although it isn't strictly Death Metal, Mark 'Barney' Greenway from Napalm Death is amazing

Whats your favourite vocal era for Barney?

 

[metallicdistort]

Whats your favourite vocal era for Barney?

Although I like all eras, I like the Harmony Corruption/Mass Appeal Madness era. On the last few albums he's been sounding like he's using loads of effects on his vocals.

I heard that he gets his vocals to be so powerful by mixing the vocals really low in the monitors, so he has to shout as hard as he can to hear himself, live and in the studio.

 

[Covet Chaos]

Hes always come across as a really powerful vocalist. Lee Dorian was my favourite ND vocalist. If you havent check Mentally Murdered out. Best Napalm Death release going.

The album Barney did with Benediction is also really solid.
