Who are u?

Cassetteisgod sent me your way. We talked a bit about how shit the Illinois music scene around the Springfield/Peoria area is. Then you sent me Angelust I think.

 

[EspaDa]

No.

Yes. Of course, just behind Matt Heafy!

 

[Sophii]

I find the grossest non-clean vocalist to Lord Angelslayer from Archgoat. Dude sounds like he vomits blood in those sick gutteral growls

Great choice. Archgoat are fucking pestilent.

 

[The Ozzman]

If we go specific genres then my choices are different. John Tardy and Frank Mullen are definitely my top death metal vocalists

Another upper-echelon voice for me is Sami Hynninen!

John Tardy is so awesome but he makes me laugh on how he accents his growls.

Its almost borderline hardcore.

 

[EspaDa]

I forgot about Frank Mullen. What a great death metal growl this guy has.

 

[CiG]

I've always greatly admired Nocturno Culto's style.
Even as he's slowly changed his delivery over the years he's always hit the sweet spot. Probably my favourite black metal vocalist without thinking about it too much.

 

[Sophii]

Man Im surprised I havent seen Max Cavalera yet. Dude sounds like a rabid animal in those early years.

 

[CiG]

Mawwbid veeezzzziiiawwwnnnnnzzzz!

 

[Sophii]

AYE SEE DA WORLD
AWLD
I SEE DA WURLD

Also: Nocturno Culto is the man. Dude has such a grim style.

Man I'm so glad I got to see Suffocation live with him doing the vocals. I don't think I would see them live without him. He and Terrance are the band.

 

[Sophii]

Mullen is pretty grotesque. But I haven't listened to much of the newer Suffocation. Is it pretty good?

I almost walked into Frank Mullen in the restroom of Ozzfest this year. Dude looked angry and old up close. I was too stunned say anything in those 3 seconds lol

@Terasophe

It is. Pinnacle of Bedlam is better than their recent one, though.

I love this track from their newest album

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Daniel Heiman. The perfect power metal vocalist.
I love King Diamond, I try to have my highs sound as awesome as his.
Hansi from Blind Guardian has such a signature sound. And the layering on their albums is insane.
As far as death metal goes I have always liked John Gallagher from Dying Fetus. Guttural and catchy.
