Forgive My Ignorance ..Growl Lovers Wanted

I'd have to disagree with ya there. Live she's a monster as well. She has a unique style, maybe because she's a she, but when growling you don't sound to girly. Arch Enemy's music changed for the better in my opinion when she joined (she also writes a lot in the band). I've been a long time fan of theirs. The have a very unique sound now with the change.
I think the recognition is great. She's gonna knock in doors kinda like Dawn Crosby did in Fear Of God in the early 90s. A lot of people stated the same thing as you did in comparison to her, but Within the Veil is easily one of the best albums that year, hell that decade and to this day no one has sounded like them.
Worm from Cryptopsy, especially on their live dvd, he has a REEEEEE type growl and I can't understand a damn word he growls. That is what makes me mad about Cryptopsy, I love their music, but I wish they had a better growler.
The best singer I have seen live that switches from growls to clean perfectly is Bjorn from Soilwork. I also personally like Howard from Killswitch. The best growlers/sceamers I have seen live have been Peter Tatgren from Hypocrisy and Akerfeldt. The most intense screaming I have seen live came from Devin Townsend with Strapping Young Lad, they just blew me away and their intensity on stage cannot be topped, plus Hoglan is just a freakin beast. Angela also blew me away and so did Chad Gray from Mudvayne, I think he is a very underrated vocalist, but I bet a lot of people on here don't care for Mudvayne, but I personally love their style and they blew me away live.

Lord Worm is gone from CRYPTOPSY. Matt McGachy is their new vocalist. They also have a keyboard/sample player, too. Her name is Maggie Durand.

Why? You can judge a band by how they look?
Just wondering...

Not just the look, but the addition of a keyboardist and the sound clips of the vocalists old band.

Holy crap! I'm not going to dismiss/support this til I hear it. But with them I'm sure it'll be original, whether good or bad.
Oh yeah, good point! Not all non-clean vocals are growls. First band that came to mind is Tragedy.
DoomsdayZach
The Professor was right
Yep. Name one band that looks like that and is not shit. Call me closed minded, but time and time again I have seen what these bands sound like. And i haven't even heard the new singer's sound clips yet.

Hey now, don't knock until you heard. If we end up with a darker more bleak and melancholic Cryptopsy (like an album in the vain of phobophile), I'm sure you'll all come back saying how great the new lineup is (I will too!).
DoomsdayZach
The Professor was right
That's exactly my point. I can pretty much guarentee that we're not getting a darker more bleak cryptopsy. We're getting a gayer, more gothcore cryptopsy. Sure, Flo is a good drummer, but that gimmick won't keep the band going much longer.

OK, how about 2?
Rage
It's quite obvious nobody is styling these guys. This is the "old folks" version of the first Cryptopsy picture - they aren't giving a fuck about their appearance.

Maybe, but is that because you know what they sound like? If you never heard a Rage song before, you would be able to tell me whether or not you liked these guys just by their picture?
DoomsdayZach
The Professor was right
Fair enough point. I don't much care for new Rage either, thoguh it's a whole different thing. Therion are in their element in that picture. I'm not terribly sexy on the new therion album either.
There's a huge difference between what therion does and a death metal band thouhg. But at this point, Therion (while a really good band) is not something i'd care for at this point if i had just discovered them. They're a remenant of music i liked at a certain point, kind of like Nightwish's "Oceanborn" or After Forever's "Decipher" and "Prison of Desires". I guess i should be more specific and say find a death metal band that looks like that and doesn't suck.
dcow, i'm not watching that
