don't forget mastodon and kylesaErik said:I said "extreme vocalists" not "extreme metal vocalists". Which also means you're free to mention Isis, Neurosis and the like should you wish to.
Will Bozarth said:wtf? do explain. he's got one of the best growls in death metal.
hmmm, i don't really understand that, b/c to me it seems like the dude from envy esp. is just fucking pouring his heart out....nobody can deny he fucking lays it all out, straight up. i would say that shit is easily as raw and emotive as varg and quorthon. but like i said, this is a metal forum and i can appreciate people not liking the hxcx vox, whatever, your lossOne Inch Man said:most hardcore shouts are annoying as fuck, especially in bands that it doens't fit (like that group envy, christ ). although some of those dudes can be pretty awesome.
i don't really care about the hardcore shouts, i just think playing chill music like that with some dude ripping his vocal chords out doesn't fit. it's like listening to a good band with a blender roaring away in the background.cthulufhtagn said:hmmm, i don't really understand that, b/c to me it seems like the dude from envy esp. is just fucking pouring his heart out....nobody can deny he fucking lays it all out, straight up. i would say that shit is easily as raw and emotive as varg and quorthon. but like i said, this is a metal forum and i can appreciate people not liking the hxcx vox, whatever, your loss
dude i have no idea what you're talking about, maybe you've heard the wrong stuff cuz to me this is some of the most intense, heart-rending performances i've heard in a while.....what envy songs have you heard? again, i can wholly understand the distaste for hxcx vox but to say it's chill? uh are you sure you didn't put paatos on instead accidentally?One Inch Man said:i don't really care about the hardcore shouts, i just think playing chill music like that with some dude ripping his vocal chords out doesn't fit. it's like listening to a good band with a blender roaring away in the background.
also i've only heard like two songs from them so maybe i don't know what the fuck i'm talking about.

that's cool....i posted an envy song a little while back i considered to be pretty hardcore, so if you dl'ed that one that's prolly it...but damn, how fucking intense is that? i'm too drunk/lazy to post another song, tell me what song it is...One Inch Man said:upload a sample, i'll let you know if i'm all fucked up or not. i have an mp3 on my work computer, have no idea what song though.
hardcore shouts don't bug me, the problem i have is that so many that i've heard are just shitty vocalists. like the dude from burnt by the sun rules, and i guess many consider jens from meshuggah a hardcore style vocalist and HE. FUCKING. RULES.
