Harsh and Clean Vocals

[Janga666]

Can I get some recommendations for death and/or doom bands that have both clean and harsh vocals?

Sorry if there is already a thread about this, I did a search and found nothing.

Can it be sort of deathy-gothic-melodic...stuff? Dark - Seduction is an excellent release and has a lot of deep male growling, two types of clean male vocals, and the occasional female vocal. It's sort of like a more depressive, older Dark Tranquillity with better song structuring. And I never find anyone who knows them so I'm getting kvlt points.

A few Dan Swanö songs off 'Moontower' have his cleans as well as his growls.

Certain Extol songs, such as 'Ember' and 'Storms of Disillusion' combine them well, great technical death..or at least they used to be.

maudlin of the Well obviously, the mindblowing death/doom/experimental band they were, if you don't know them now is the time as well.

I listened to a doom band called Somnolent the other day, they have both, but not always in the same song.

Virgin Black is a doom/gothic metal band that uses a mix of clean and harsh vocals.

While Heaven Wept is an epic doom metal band with clean and harsh (although mostly clean).

Amorphis (Tales From the Thousand Lakes, Elegy); also, if you enjoy these albums, you should check out Eclipse and Silent Waters

Thanks! I'll check those out. I have Amorphis' debut and I like that so I assume I would like the others you recommended.

I'm all about the singing with the screaming. It adds much more emotion to the music with having both especially on an emotional level, if its done right.

A good band that I have been hooked on lately that can sing and scream is a band from Nuclear Blast records called "Scar Symmetry". awesome vocals, blood curdling screams, and the instrumentation to back it up.

Edge of Sanity - Aftermath

Tales From the Thousand Lakes and Elegy are a bit more doom/progressive/folk oriented than The Karelian Isthmus (which is more death metal than anything). Eclipse and Silent Waters are their two most recent records. They're really hard to classify, but the mix of clean and harsh vocals are very cool. Hope you like them!

Found a couple of the ones I mentioned on the YouTube..


Dark - Dark Clouds Rising...I wanted to find a better example but I was lucky to find even this, so...





Extol - Ember, and Storms of Disillusion.......the first Extol one out of the two is......a pretty stupid video.. but it's the only one on YouTube which is the studio version, awesome song..so just go to another tab and let it play







maudlin of the Well - Birth Pains of Astral Projection, Riseth He The Numberless (part 2)

I recently bought Tales From the Thousand Lakes. From first listen it is very good. I'm like Amorphis more and more.

 

[Einherjar86]

Glad you dig it! In case you're interested, here are some of their newer tunes. Like I said, it's really different from their old stuff, and a different lead singer; but the mix of clean and harsh vocals is done really well.

Perkele (The Fire God)


A Servant


The Smoke

I will second Amorphis, can't say enough about them.
As long as you stay away from Far From The Sun.

Also Edge of Sanity Crimson I & Crimson II
