Growl?

[Beave]

For me, good growling is utterly ferocious and psychotic sounding and belted out with straight-from-the-heart passion.

That said, Johan Hegg is the undisputed heavy weight champion of growlers as far as i'm concerned.

Kampfar's singer also stands out for me. He incorporates tongue-rolls into his growls (à la the ol' "R-r-r-r-r-r-uffles have r-r-r-r-r-r-ridges" commercials) like i've never heard anyone else do. It's fuckin' awesome!

That George, the numchuck archer rabbit?

Joe Duplantier from Gojira is one of my favourites

I like Johan's growls alot ... some others I enjoy : Randy Blythe, George Fisher, Angela Gossow.

George and Angela have great growls, but Randy's is more of a metalcore scream, when Lamb of God was Burn the Priest he still kinda screamed, but its good none the less

James Malone is a badass but his vocals are mostly a black metalesque sound in my oppinion(not much of a death growl).. I think darren cesca covers the deep growls and shrieks every now and then.


Arsis deserves more love though...

 

[amon666]

a joke band called Ten Masked Men, the vocals has brutal voice!

 

[waif]

If you want really brutal voxx try Wormed. Or beyond that some Devourment or some other slam death like Dripping, Soils of Fate, Meathook, etc.

True, but they are a death metal band & I felt James deserves to be mentioned.

Srsly.

Slam and brutal death is some of the most inaccesible death ever growl wise.

Christian Älvestam and John Tardy are honorable mentions

I think most of the slam stuff is pitch-shifted, though.

I like the lead singer from Dark Tranquillity a lot too.

Why is everyone so worked up over Stanne? The Gallery is my favorite album of all time, but I've never thought of him as a particularly impressive vocalist.

His vocals are extremely original and menacing.

 

[waif]

Interesting.
He sings in the same style as Frieden, Lindberg, Forse, and a bunch of the other Gothenburg melodeath vocalists.

Dark Tranquillity growls isnt deep but its good, i enjoy it

 

[HaloSlayer]

I don't know how to really evaluate it. I like singers who sing hard but you can understand. Like AA, Absense and Vader.

Yea, but his voice is easily the most menacing I have heard in all my listening to heavy metal. The way he drags his words out I guess. It just sounds like pure hate.
