Mikael Åkerfeldt V.S. Himself

Opeth's Mikael Åkerfeldt
or Bloodbath's Mikael Åkerfeldt

Which vocal styling to you bloody prefer?

I only ask this because I hear alot of differences from many Opeth fans/shortly after they have bought the Ressurection Through Carnage album.

 

[Ermz]

Opeth vocals... they're alot more versatile, and im sure if he wanted to he could go as gutteral as he does on Bloodbath, but there'd be no point.

 

[Alex Guinness]

I agree, the versatility is one of the things that drew me to Opeth in the beginning.

Equally, I love Bloodbath (also huge fan of Katatonia and everything that Mr. Swanö does), but I listen to each band for different purposes, different moods.

 

[Judas Pissed]

Seeing as this is an Opeth thread it's pretty obvious what one's gonna win...

I love both - the way he sounds so fucking extreme on Bloodbath is great but the combination of really heavy + plus great clean I prefer over extreme.

 

[Abou]

Make it stop!!!

 

[ffanatic]

Mikael can't win and lose...?

This poll is sick.

 

[random_phil]

I'd say Opeth, but I think his best vocal performance was on Katatonia's Sounds Of Decay EP. Just listen to Nowhere and you'll see what I mean

 

[no country for old wainds]

27-0? That surprises me slightly, I think the Bloodbath vocals are excellent. Not QUITE as good though.

 

[Super Mahrio]

I like both really but i prefer Opeth...I like the clean vocals of Opeth better...but sometimes the growling makes me happy too...

 

[O'blivion]

where's the Grutle Kjellson option?

 

[rjf385]

Mikael's vocals in Opeth is just fantastic, His vocal on Bloodbath is whole different story.

 

[squarenothing66]

Opeth.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

He's more brutal in Bloodbath, but his singing voice makes up for it and then some.

 

[The Sound Gardener]

AHHHH, SO HARD!!!!!!

I vote for both. So there.

 

[opethwundi]

of course opeth vocals...

because mike's opeth vocals are talented

 

[To_bid_you_farewell]

Well I like his style in Opeth more, because it's not just deep growling and nothing else but very different and he is changing very often.

But the Bloodbath style is very cool despite this, very extreme and brutal.

Oh wait, this brings an idea to my mind, well i have to start another poll right now

 

[VEHEMENCE]

Got you guys talking about Bloodbath, good deal. Yeah, the poll is sick, there is no win or loss, more of an appreciation for the mans vocals if anything.

 

[scorpian007]

I love both Opeth and Bloodbath, but I prefer Mikaels Opeth vocal style.

 

[Episode 666]

It's Easy, when i listen to Bloodbath, i want to hear Mikes Bloodbath vocals. When Listen to Opeth, i want to hear Mikes OPeth Vocals.

 

[VEHEMENCE]

I think Dirge for Novemember is an Underated song, they should play live.
