screams > growls

[Dead Winter]

Yep.

 

[Craysh3]

Don't be a scene kid, DW. Screams are american children's way to try and compensate for their lack of balls and vocal ability. Give me a break. The closest thing I'll ever accept are black metal screeches or nasal growling which sounds fucking cool.

 

[neal]

some examples might help the vagueness, but im pretty sure i agree with the eyetalian

 

[Shpongled]

It all depends. I like em both

 

[neal]

yeh i guess i should add that i do like em both, along with certain people's brutal gutteral animal grunts

 

[Dead Winter]

Ackerfeldt is my favorite growler, probably. I really like his depth.

However, I'll take Peter Tatgtrtetnttttt's screams any day, although I also like his growls.

"Roswell FORTY-SEVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNN!!!!!!!"

3:33

 

[Dead Winter]

Album version is better though...the scream before the bridge makes me spooge.

And of course, the awesome Fractured Millennium:

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Depends. I really like Mikko from Deathspell Omega who is kind of halfway between the two:


But in general I'm not picky about vocals. I mean cmon, its people screamin' and growlin', just headbang and enjoy the music!

 

[Super Mahrio]

Depends on the screams. If they arent overly screetchy, they can work but i generally prefer growling.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Screaming and grim vocals are not the same thing. I assume DW means the latter and I agree.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

who the fuck calls them grim vocals?

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Call them whatever you want but you know damn well Grutle, Garm, Vintersorg and them are doing something different than whats in screamo bands.

 

[Dead Winter]

Yeah screams to me aren't like screamo type bands who basically shout hardcore lyrics in a really annoying high pitched way. Screaming to me is like clean singing but using a bit of your throat and just a tad gutteral. The really, really long screams like Hypocrisy are what I like. In fact, I pretty much scream in Skylab similar to Tatgren. I don't have quite the high range he does but the same timbre.

I call it screaming with vibrato.

 

[Craysh3]

DW, the way you describe it, bands like Maiden and Priest would be considered "screaming". I consider Trivium, Thrice, All that Remains as screaming aka vocal shitflingingintotheear.

 

[neal]

well what would you consider the Converge dude's vocals? sounds like hes screaming his fuckin lungs out to me




sounds different on youtube than album, but i think you can get the idea

 

[neal]

perhaps more obvious on this one

 

[Craysh3]

That sounds more like screeching to me. Those vocals sound really interesting too, imo. Reminds me a bit of the high side of Glen Benton, or Peste Noir:

 

[Dead Winter]

Well, I posted 3 examples to support my statement. Guess that wasn't enough.

There's some growling in this one, but the screaming is basically what I'm talking about. Starting at 3:23.

Man I love Akercocke.

 

[Dead Winter]

But you know what? I guess my drummer's vocals are kinda really closer to my thing...better to send you straight there. Listen to "Towards the Remote Future". I'm singing now but it's really similar, although I'm a little less Dani Filth circa 1996 than he is.

[Altitudes]

Both vocal styles are shit. I prefer real singing, it actually takes talent.

Pleez dont haet me guise
