There are a few things I've noticed about their two styles of growling. Here I will objectively compare them, but in the end people should just choose which one they like best based on which one appeals to them more, for whatever personal reason they have.
Here goes nothing:
1. Peter has more range, and can do more with his growl
2. Mike has a more consistant, lower growl
3. Peter's growl is just as beastly as Mike's
3. Mike's clean vocals should not be taken into consideration, as this is a discussion of Bloodbath/growls
4. Peter can actually achieve a low end growl like Mike's, and because it is more raspy, it is actually more beastly than Mikes
5. The reason Peter doesn't spend his entire time in Bloodbath at a low end growl is because he realizes that it's very boring and would show a lot less emotion/scariness
6. Peter is scary and evil but Mike is cuddly like a teddy bear
7. Peter's hair is nicer than Mike's
8. Although Mike outweighs Peter, Peter can still kick Mike's ass because it's mostly fat anyway
9. Mike is chubby
10. If their growls could take possesion of 100 foot tall robot warriors, Peter's robot would destroy Mike's simply because there is just that much more to Peter's growl
11. Peter's growl is better
12. Everyone should like Peter's growl more, because it's better
13. Only little girls like Mike's growl better anyway
So now that we all have the facts straight, it should be a lot easier for people to decide between these two great styles of growling.
*tsk*
1. What can Peter do? Scream high, scream low. good for him. He can't even TOUCH Mike's consistent low growl, and Mike can also sing high as well.
2. Nothing to argue.
3. Peter's growl is like a wolf's compared to mike's demonic lion.
3. [you have two three's] Yet you take Mike's body shape, hair, and looks into consideration. shaddup.
4. Rasping? stfu. anyone can rasp while growling. That's easy. What's harder is maintaining a lower growl while actually GROWLING, not rasping. Besides, there's a reason why the vocal technique is called 'growling' and not 'rasping'
5. Ever listened to a little masterpiece called "Ressurection Through Carnage" lately? The entire album was basically low growls, and it is one of if not the the most brutal death metal albums in history. I'd say that low growls are pretty fucking entertaining.
6. Who cares about how they look? Like you just said, this is about the growling. Mike's reputation as one of the most brutal growlers in the business has gained him the respect. He doesn't need to look scary to be good. I mean, Jesus... the guy has a 70's porn moustache!
7. irrellevant and one of the dumbest points I've ever read.
8. given, but then again, mike is a good guy, and has no reason to hold anything against Peter. He'd invite Peter over for a beer and to listen to some records.
9. Peter is ugly. what's your point?
10. Mike's robot warrior would break off all of Peter's robot warriors limbs and sibsequently shove them up Peter's robot's ass. Then it would decapitate the robot and drink it's motor oil while disemboweling the rest of it, all while roaring the lyrics to 'So You Die'.
11. No, not really.
12. Everyone should wake up and see that Mike is just that much better, no matter who they prefer. I prefer Anders Nystrom to say, Yngwie Malmsteen when talking guitarists. Yngwie can school Anders in shredding, but Anders is still my favorite guitarist.
13. little girls like stupid pop vocalists, like britney spears, christina aguilera, dani filth, and peter tagtgren.
