Why do you think he was trying to replicate Štorm? He was using his distinctive vocals way back with Tormentor, about 3 or 4 years before Rituál was released. And tbh, their vocals don't sound all that similar. The production doesn't sacrifice anything either. I would respond to your other posts but you've proven unworthy with the first one because it's load of bullshit.
EDIT: That post about comparing DMDS and Genevieve "aesthetic accomplishment" is funny though.
Other than the fact that the vocals come from the same human being, the vocals on Tormentor and DMDS have very little in common.
Anno Domini: sharp, dry, punchy shouts/growls. Ranging from high to mid pitched; mostly in a higher picth. There are no quasi-singing passages, except on "Elisabeth Bathory"; otherwise he sticks to growling/shouting. The vocal performance is clean, on point and strong.
DMDS: Growls are generally in a lower and deeper tone; they're more wet and slurred, with each passage being dragged out. Lots of parts where Atilla makes goofy gurgling sounds. On many occasions Atilla ends a growled line with a quasi-singing stanza or does a singing/growling hybrid (this is the aspect that I think might have been picked up from Ritual). These passages are terribly executed, with Atilla's vocals constantly going out of tune. The straight forward singing passages (i.e. the bridge of "Freezing Moon") are also sloppy and out of tune.
If Atilla had done a vocal performance similar to the one on
Anno Domini for DMDS, then DMDS would have been a much better album. As it stands, all the sloppy attempts at singing and the stupid gurgling sounds seriously decrease the quality of the recording.
As for the production, if you think it works, you think it works. Personally, I would have preferred a harsher, more cutting edge on the guitars and just a rawer sound overall.
