How come Tomas Lindberg is so much better than everyone else?

[Pitiless Wanderer]

It doesnt even matter what youre talking about. Im listening to Crowned in Terror and he just destroys everything on this record, same thing with At the Gates and most definitely the Nightrage debut Sweet Vengeance - one of his best performances ever. Not to mention Disfear, the great deceiver, lockup...etc etc. i know he gets shit for not staying put in one band, which is definitely kind of annoying but as long as he is active i dont mind where he is at, although his leaning towards hardcore doesnt really do it for me as much as his death metal bands.

He always sounds like he's giving 100% and his lyrics are always great, focusing on liars, hypocrites, death and other depressive themes. This guy is my favorite extreme vocalist of all time.

*crickets chirping*

 

[rfe]

I heard better.

But he is good.

 

[J.]

hes ok.

i dug his performances in that one great deceiver album and terminal spirit disease. hes good in skitsystem.

certainly not the best though

 

[S<issors]

...because everyone knows that the best metal vocalist is JAMES LABRIE!

Nah, Mike from Opeth and Mikko from StS get my votes. Also, Jens from Meshuggah is pretty good.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

who?

I agree, though I wouldn't put him in the top vocalists of all time. I find too many death metal vocalists try too hard for that deep growl and forget that when you put in the emotion and rage it doesn't really matter what vocal style is used.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

He is excellent in Sweet Vengeance, definitely...and he's the best part of The Great Deceiver.

 

[General Zaroff]

Some people really hate his vocals.

 

[byrne]

those people have no taste.

i agree. best lyricist and death metal vocalist of all time.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Uh... His vocals on The Red in the Sky and in Grotesque are godly.

I agree. And his vocal style is my favorite for melodic death metal. It's extreme but with strain and tortured emotion.

He pretty much made Nightrage great, but then they went and kicked them out.

 

[skeptik]

I like his earlier work, but I don't care for his later work, such as The Crown and Nightrage. His voice is not what it used to be.

ahah yea, it really is a shame. that bad had loads of talent. marios is a great guitar player and a fantastic riff writer....losing tomas was a massive blow for the band, but even more questionable is the replacement they have. he's more "core" than death metal, which really gets on my nerves. nothing too distinctive about him. I hate to say it but their best days are behind them unless something drastic happens.

 

[rfe]

Jimmie Strimmel blows ass.

 

[Krilons Resa]

dayum straight.

 

[Evil Dead]

Great vocalist who has sustained the power of his voice through the years, unlike many artists (read In Flames)
