I know there isnt such only made for growls, but maybe you had experiance with some good not super expensive mics and can help me buying new one.
Mic for growling

Well if you can growl it will sound good with whatever mic made for singing and if you suck then no mic in the world will make you sound better....

not 100% accurate really, I will ask a friend of mine, you see, I asked him the same thing weeks ago and he explained me something like it depends of the range, because there is a range where it doesn't matters if you go high pitch or lower growls, the mic helps you keeping a steady signal, but if you choose a mic with a different range, then it might give you a lil' push in the higher or lower notes depending on the range, so, if you choose this mic to sing clean it'll be useful, cause it will help you with dynamics, but not when it comes to growl. the right mic will help keeping your growl "steady", without sounding annoyingly loud when you go high pitch or loosing volume when you do a deep growl... I'll tell you once he answers me. It's not as technical as it sounds, it's just a tip, with a good growl and knowing hot to use the mic then you'll have no prob I guess

what nick said is sorta correct, i was talking about the Shure SM57 and SM58, they are world wide used microphones, a lot of them in metal albums, from Metallica to the Swedish Death metal scene.
The SM57 is most used on guitars (but not exclusively) because the frequency response as nick said
that "bump" at ~8k makes the sound sharper, giving the guitar a nice sound, but it doest mean it's just for guitars:

The Shure SM58 is used a lot for vocals, because because it's frequency range has a bit more of low end, despite looking very similar, it makes a diference
most people use the 58 because it gives a "warm" sound, good for metal music
also, they are around ~100 dollars and they are build like a tank, which makes a great stage mic

I am not pro at growling but im not a newbie either.
Im havin a problem with my current mic. It gives metalic, crappy sound at lows and hihgs, at mids the sound is fine.
Ill check my store and ask the shopper bout the mic you proposed guys.
And ofc im waiting for the response from bastard.

These are both good mics all around, and cheap. The sound you put in em is what you will get, though I personally suggest the 58 for vocals. 57 is the more versatile of the two, commonly hooked up to damn near every thing in studios, but mainly guitar / percussion.

If you can afford one, go for the Shure SM7B, great both for growls and singing. Can be used for snare top and bottom, guitar amps..

Shure SM7B is deffinetely too expensive for recording a solo project. I just need avarage mic that will get rid of metallic sound on high and lows.
Or maybe thats the fault of Rp250, im planting microphone to it and rp250 i plant to the computer. But i doubt it.

If you want a good entry level mic that's good for stage shows and recording you really can't go wrong with either a Shure sm-58/sm-58 beta or a Sennheiser e835/845. It's down to preference in the end but I consider those mics to be the standard within the $100 range. I'm more partial to Sennheiser products in general, I've never been let down by anything they've made from Headphones to Mics and beyond, and I find the e835 works better for me than a Shure-sm58.

Sorry dude, I haven't seen my friend and his reply to my question through fb was "come and see me and I can tell you everything again" anyways, the guys here said most of what he said already, if you want to get rid of that metallic noise, then you'll have to spend some bucks on the mic, because it's most probably because of the connections inside the mic and the type of metal used on them that you are having problems, bad quality metal, if you can get a mic with connections made of gold (not kidding), it should be the ideal, but it's expensive, also, some factors you can check when you go and buy it are the suspension inside the mic, it helps, and ask for the frequencies to make you sound flat, no matter how close to the mic you are, one or ten centimeters away from it, it's supposed to sound almost the same, that helps when growling, to level the volume when you go high pitch I'll still post the answer once I get it, but almost everything has been said already
