The Thread Where You Talk About Music You Like

[Mort Divine]

Haha yes, but ... like Web of Wyrd's vocalist is fucking abysmal yet because it fits the music I'll listen to them. Despised Icon's vocalist gets annoying sometimes, fits the music but gets annoying, but since I like the music I listen beyond the vocals, etc.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

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

so you would listen to judas priest if they had a mediocre vocalist??

Yes, because the music is damned good enough. If Judas Priest were to hire say - Scott Stapp (Gods forbid this from happening because I would my ass to death - and they kept the same quality of music up as they have in the past (ignoring their most recent mediocre fest) then yes I would listen to them. Halford's vocals never "wowed" me, I always just loved the guitars and that stuff.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

yea I am totally different in that regard

opeth, symphony x, pagan's mind, judas priest - replace any of these bands with shitty vocalists and the quality of the music goes considerably down

Agreed. Just look at JP without Halford.

Fuck, look at them WITH Halford now. Shit.

Fucking hate when people blame Owens (who is by the way currently superior to Halford, not Halford in his prime or anything but ... currently) for ruining Priest when it was OBVIOUSLY the fucking music being changed. Owens had nothing to do with the band playing mediocre music.

I liked AoR. Yeah, it was not as good as the old stuff, but I still liked it.

 

[skeptik]

Demolition would've sucked with or without Halford's vocals.

 

[Matt]

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

Says the person who always thinks his opinion is the be all end all

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

always thinks his opinion is the be all end all

That's pretty much everyone on this board.

 

[skeptik]

No actually my opinion is the only be all and end all, the rest just boast the claim.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

That's pretty much everyone on this board.

basically, at least I am only like that a small percentage of the time. most people here are like that 99% of the time

No actually my opinion is the only be all and end all, the rest just boast the claim.

My opinion is that you are wrong.

And my opinion is the right one.

 

[Evil?]

Well, my opinion is that Mercyful Fate is one of the greatest bands of all time.

np:Mercyful Fate-Burning The Cross

 

[cookiecutter]

Devourment vocals are perfect for the style. Whoever said that they add percussion and rhythm to the song was right.

Also if anyone cares to find out what pig vocals sound like: Waking The Cadaver

 

[Disarmonia_Mundi]

Hmmm, vocals can ruin a band for me, I prefer either

1. Harsh Vocals (Metalcore style / Kalmah/myGRAIn style)
or
2. High Pitched (Illnath / Graveworm / Stormlord) << Favorite

Any other style ruins the songs for me. That's just the way I am

 

[Skepticism]

Quo Vadis' second album has to have some of the worst vocals I've heard, the vocalist sounds like Ren from Ren and Stimpy. The only reason why I listen to that album is for the guitars. I'm really glad they switched vocalists for their third album.

it didn't bother me

I don't listen to the 3rd album much anymore as the drums are wayyyyyyyyyyyy too loud in the mix and it is almost painful to listen to

1st 1 is fuckin awesome, 2nd one is also very good

Hellwitch is one of the greatest Death/Thrash bands I have ever heard. Not better than Massacra though.


Uncanny - Splenium For Nyktophobia is one of the most perfect old school death metal albums I have ever heard. Criminally underrated Swedish Death that is reminiscint of other Swedish counterparts; particularly Seance and Carnage. Reminds me a little of Demigod as well.

 

[skeptik]

The Hellwitch album is getting reissued you know, I saw it on blabbermouth the other day.
