Hey,
I must agree on that Mikael isnt what he used to be. He has always been a favourite of mine when it comes to growling and so on, he has a great gorwl and clean voice and he can use them. The thing is on the new album hes kinda boring to listen to, theres no energy and he just does what he can do, but nothing more. I would like Mikael to be more agressive and pissed of, vause maybe then he would growl the shit of us!
But, I have to say that Mikael still is the best growler out there! All the others in this world including myself are to well, hoe do I say this in english hehe.
Were just to boring, we dont use our voices as much as Mikael does, but the best thing about him is his clarity and his articulation, you can here every word and thats the best thing about him I think. I hate death/bands with a growler that sounds like someone has put a sock in his fuckin throath.
Well... I listen to that kind of music anyway, dont now why, but they havnt the same greatness as Mikael does.
Damn, Im just sluddering away here. haha.... But thats my opinion I think haha... Now I gotta go write some satanic blackmetal songs to Vanmakt.
Hail!
