you are a n00b, you must know this.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

try death if you don't like growling

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

it just fits the aggresion and intensity of the music (talking about death metal)

how ridiculous would this sound with clean vocals?

I actually did like that quite a bit. Hated the vocals, but, you're right, it would not have made sense with anything else.

I do.

 

[skeptik]

Most n00bs don't like extreme metal vocals when they first get into extreme metal. I sure as hell didn't.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

try morbid angel, death, later suffocation (their last album) for death metal without overly offensive vocals

give it some time, you'll get used to it

 

[Mort Divine]

that's just your taste, don't speak for everybody

Okay, fuck. Fuck fuck fuck.

It has happened again and look at who did it. I KNOW IT IS MY TASTE. I KNOW IT IS MY OPINION. I KNOW THAT! WHO THE FUCK ELSES WOULD IT BE?

FUCK. GODDAMNIT. I DON'T NEED THAT CLARIFIED.

No, no, no. Why is acceptable for the vocals to suck and not the instrumentals? The voice is just as much a part of the music, and yet people accept- sometimes prefer- when it's horrible. I don't but the explanation that metal is "not about" vocals. It doesn't make sense.

It makes perfect sense. Metal has always been about instrumental focus, not about vocal focus like pop or r&b. Therefore anyone into metal should be able to overlook an annoying vocalist if the music is good, when listening to metal. When in Sodom ...

[Mort Divine]

I imagine that I'll eventually enjoy extreme metal. I am pretty much a n00b, though. I've actually liked Judas Priest (and some Anthrax and Metallica) for years. I pretty much got through high school just listening to JP.

Sad, I know. I've just always been pretty lazy and apathetic when it comes to music, but at the start of this year I decided to make a concious effot to "expand my horizons", which is why I came to this site.

Mmkay...so you might want to try not voicing such strong opinions which you'll probably regret in a year's time.

That's ok. When I decide to check that stuff out I'll hit up the recs thread.

Probably. Everyone changes their minds, though, so I doubt I'll regret it.

Talking to me?

I've had that opinion since I've gotten into "extreme" metal about a year or so ago. Only in incredibly extreme circumstances will vocals deter me from liking a metal band, I've yet to come across such a band.

 

[skeptik]

psst...wasn't talking to you

 

[Mort Divine]

Oh, okay

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

vocals are a big part of the music regardless of the genre

(obviously) they are far more important in genres like pop and R&B, but you still need good vocals that fit the music in metal

in genres like power, progressive and heavy metal, they are crucial

 

[Mort Divine]

The only thing vocals need to do in metal is to fit the music, they in NO WAY need to be good.

 

[skeptik]

Well, they have to be good at fitting the music. :zombie:

Your right, its not singing.
Its Vocals.
