Bodom Vocals

[(__Joonas__)]

What really bothers me is why does Alexi speak like a fool during passages. It was much cooler back in the day when he spoke on his own voice that sounds quite characteristic in itself.

One thing I've noticed is there are songs where the vocals sound distinctly different than other vocals on the album. These include the album versions of Lake Bodom, Bed Of Razors, Everytime I Die, Hate Me, Tie My Rope.

i love the intro to ETID in Seoul

 

[(__Joonas__)]

Yeah. He used to sound serious, professional, deep, real. After 2003 he started speaking like a retard and just trying to get people drinking. I mean, for me it's silly, because you don't have to urge me to have fun on a COB gig, I'm already psyched and fired up before I get in

Back on topic: I think one of the reasons is Alexi has probably fucked his throat up. It shouldn't surprise anyone after endless tours of screaming death metal and drinking and smoking. Listen to Tokyo Warhearts, his first lines in Silent Night are the best EVER, but pretty soon something changes in his singing. Also it demands concentration and motivation to sing death metal properly. Imagine playing that stuff on guitar and doing perfect vocals.

In this regard he should have an easier time nowadays with Roope playing most of the leads compared to when Alexander was in the band and simply played rhythm a lot of the time.

I don't understand how the new vocal styles have more variety or are more technical, but that's just me. Personally I think his old vocal style just had more passion and strength in them.

^ The level of distortion of his screams are a lot less static in AYDY/BD. It goes back and forth between screams and harsh yelling/growling and such. He did this in earlier albums at times, but not as much. Also, being that his screams are dialed back a notch in intensity of vocal distortion, there is a lot more melody coming through in his vocals now. Again, he did this during some parts of earlier albums, but not nearly as often. It was more often than not a monotonous scream.

 

[Mystique1721]

I like his newer vocals.

yeah, you would you miley-lover :Smug:
go listen to Lead Us to War or something

you mean the way he speaks in a really American accent now in between songs? Like in the tokyo warhearts album, I feel like his speech was much more genuine, the Finnish accent was there and not scared of being heard--"k people, how many of you have heard about our about our first album called Something Wild?".
Just seems like he's trying a bit too hard to be American now days. or maybe he really has lost that genuine finnish accent and it's just automatically more american now. oh wellz.



and I'm really surprised the majority of you guys prefer Alexi's older vocals. glad to hear it tho

exactly what i think!

plus i was hugely disappointed by the live dvd: most of the extra contents where them drinking and puking and shit uke:. I think he is almost 30 now but he keeps doing teenager shit.
Sorry Alexi this has transformed in the Alexi bitching thread maybe i should stop now

 

[ChockeHoldTerror]

I like them both , but i think what makes children great in the first albums is vocals , now its still greate but whole genre change in his voice , he cant make this voice forever ,the voice is chaned you cant get in back! , besides who doesnt like alexi !

 

[BREEDER]

And I like this Swede! I think of fridges full of six-packs when I see your name.

And I like this Swede! I think of fridges full of six-packs when I see your name.

Yeah but it's was originally thought as ten-pack of coke when i chose the name around 2006 for another site, but still

 

[SomeoneWild]

Well coke rocks as well, but we all know by now that only by drinking beer everyday you can be as cool as Alexi.

 

[Kochon]

Old were nice, especially on TW. It was kind of brutal without being cheesy. His new vocals are fucknig awesome, too. Just in a different way, more elaborate.

 

[Hellhounds On My Trail]

I think his older style was more aggressive, almost black metal...Nowadays is more melodic which isn't a bad thing...I prefer both styles...The way he sings in every album is the best so no need to change anything...

 

[SomeoneWild]

Yeah I liked bodom better when they were true blackmetal.

 

[FridgePack]

I don't think that they even been true black metal but has had black metal influenses under InearteD and the first albums with bodom.

 

[SomeoneWild]

Yeah, I guess ur right, probably closer to deaht metal
