I think death black vocals is what seperate people from awesome music and a lot of people just can't get through the growl vocals !
My first experience was in 1993.
Just got Mtv and believe or not Headbangers Ball existed in those times and a video starts.
My violence treshold was Nirvana, Guns and Roses Metallica and Pantera ( which had fucking hostile!)
Nice drum intro and guitars, great metal riff and suddenly the voice from hell, scorched and demonic, it was the Philosopher video from Death and Chuck's voice scared the shit out of me.
I remember thinkin' man these guys are completely fucked up in the head, what is the purpose of those growls it is not even music, no singing no melody !
It took times to start appreciating these kind of vocals.
Another defining moment was the Blashyrk Raven Dark video ( best metal video of all time) from Immortal which was scary and funny at the same time !!!
And I have to mention also Chris Barnes with the Bleeding album which was my first death metal cd and Barnes vocals were just so inhuman ! Bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!
I know that now screams and death vocals are common in metal and I consider now the philosopher as a classic metal track which has a poppy beatlesque chorus :
THe Philoooooosoooooopheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As Chuck used to say , let the metal flow !
What s your story with death growl vox ???
