stefan86's offtopic random retard thread - post away!

well ending quest is desolator -mille -jocke +rofltoffelcoptersummonium so it's almost the same band when we get the studio ov doom going with drums i'll force mille to drum EQ as well

also, EQ and desolator are different sound wise, and ending quest can do harder stuff with the vocals and guitar parts since they aren't a live band

well I started growling when I was around 15-16. sucked for like 4 years. got decent. got good since I was forced to growl in desolator on a regular basis. got even better when I started learning immolation songs. the tips are mostly shit, you gotta find a way that works with your individual voice. I push loud as fucking hell from deep down in my body without "treating" the vocals on the way, jocke does pretty much the other way around. it's all about the individual.

yeah, this stefan has a lot sturdier voice than i have pretty much so he doesn't have to "take care" of his voice as much as i do, that's why his growls are louder than mine as well

I consume an average of 15 beers a week and jocke is around 5 or so I presume so that accounts for the sturdiness

 

[DarkGift]

one important tip: don't practice to åkerfelt in the beginning. the lung capacity and tone is an absolute voice destroyer

haha, yeah, some of the stuff he pulls off is pretty hard ^^ master's apprentices beginning half is a good way to build up stamina though.
at first one should really just try to find how to do a simple "oooooh" before trying to actually sing words

you'll likely love dark immersion even more since it has dooooooom

yeah, the outro is nice-ah

 

[stefan86]

+ jocke's immune system is weaker than the fathomless mastery's riff base so he's sick as sickoovdoom

I have started to practice since like 2 years ago and it's getting a little better, but when my throat is completely dry I hardly can growl, but my friend told me to practice when your throat is dry!

Have read so many fakken websites and the "how to properly growl" thread here, but I think everyone should find his own way to make his growling better-ah.

 

[DarkGift]

you shouldn't growl with a dry throat, drink lots of (preferably lukewarm) water when practising.

the tony bullard metal vocal tutorial posted in the growl thread helped me out pretty much when i started off

 

[stefan86]

I always drink coffee

 

[BastardSonOfGod]

my growl got improved after I realized I was going way too gutural on it, kinda like barnes in cannibal corpse... after that I got a growl similar to johan's from amon amarth, and the cool thing is that it doesn't hurt my throat anymore sadly, I haven't growl for like 2 years now

 

[w0es]

damn too many fakken postjumps

yes, you really have you find your own "voice" so to speak, not try to emulate another vocalist

han är ju inte det

nicolas, if you wanna do guest vocals on demise of bajs you're welcome demise feat. nicolas and second feat. ludde could make for an epic gig haha

haha, would be awesome mille would kill the whole band in the process though

 

[stefan86]

+ try to adapt the vocals you do after your voice a bit. don't do cannibal corpse if you have a midrange-ish voice and don't do matti kärki if you have a lowrange-ish voice

 

[BastardSonOfGod]

that would be awesome actually dunno who's ludde tho, are you still thinking of playing demise of all life live again anyways?

and then we have the exceptions of me and karl sanders who have girly voices and very deep growls

ludde is my roomie who you spoke to after our gig, the guy with the tatoos and piercings we'll always have it as a back up song in case we get more time than we have songs

 

[stefan86]

we could do it for you I suppose, the problem is I promised mille he'd never have to do it again. and he's an angry kvlt person that very well could do a varg vikernes on me if I disobey-ah

that's pretty r-r-r-r-random. then there's chuck schuldiner ov doom that has a girly voice and a girly growl
