Least Favourite

many others but I can't think at the moment.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

How in the hell do you not like Darkthrone's, and Black Sabbath's vocals? Nocturno Culto's vocals on Transilvanian Hunger have been my favorite as of late. I enjoy Orlok quite a bit too. As for non-black metal vocals the dudes from Valkyrie have a pretty cool sound goin.

I actually think Nocturno Culto's best vocal performance is on Panzerfaust. Totally pissed off and hateful!

I just don't like them
I prefer a more variable vocalist, Jonny Davy for example.

Yeah I'm new to this so I'm just getting the gist of whats yes yes and whats no no!
I also joined this to help get into more death metal.

 

[Life Sucks]

Yea, really overrated band I know.

Finally someone else who agrees with me on this. Don't get me wrong, I like Black Sabbath, but I just think they are FAR from the best metal band ever (though they were the first).

anyways, my favorites:

Alan Nemtheanga (Primordial)
Frank Brennan (Mourning Beloveth cleans/Old Season)
Von Demonicus (Arghoslent)
David Vincent (Morbid Angel)
Antti Boman (Demilich)
Nocturno Culto (Darkthrone)
Zakrathor (Nazgul)
Nattramn (Silencer)
the guy from Solstice - Lamentations

least favorite:

Dave Mustaine
Ronnie James Dio
Jocke Granlund (Leukemia)
Byron Roberts (Bal Sagoth, his spoken word vocals)
Covan (the new vocalist in Decapitated)
the shitty hardcore-ish vocalist for Capharnum
any metalcore and emocore vocalist

that would be Paul DiAnno. he also sang on the second Iron Maiden album.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

oh yea I forgot the vocalist for novembre, he has a very nice melancholy and emotional voice (no emo)

 

[False Dawn]

Favorites:

Nemtheanga
Jari Mäenpää
Fenriz
Johan Hegg
Urfaust's vocalist


I can't think of any that I particularly dislike.

 

[CaGeD iN]

suprised no one mentioned dani filth yet... as he should quit metal or go hang himself

Alexi Laiho should be removed from vox and left on guitar

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

I don't mind filth as much as I despise laiho's voice

he makes bodom (an alright band) completely unlistenable.

 

[CaGeD iN]

they both suck at life....... and im not talking about the board game

 

[Blue_Jay]

That's because he's so bad that everybody here has probably forgotton about him and his band by now.

hmmm makes sense

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

surprised at how many times schuldiner has come up in this thread, his vocals are pretty average though he was a sweet guitarist and a pretty good songwriter.

only one of their albums has that "witch" type screech vox. The rest have decent (but unremarkable) half grunts half shouted vocals.
