Use of grunt...

[narcoleptic haze]

pigs grunt, wolves growl :immortal:

Good point actually.

Also, let me just make sure you guys understand what i meant by my comment.

I do not wish Mike to sing clean because I don't like the growls. On the contrary, imo he has one of the best growls in the business, and quite honestly I can't get enough of them.

However, that doesn't change the fact that I would love to hear more heavy songs with clean vocals. I'm not saying get rid of the growls, but a couple of clean heavy songs would be great.

That is all.

grunts are low pitched (Nile) and growls are what you hear when you listen to Deliverance iirc

totally wrong.... as normal
Nile does NOT grunt

 

[Keith!]

Some poeple just call it grunting and some call it growling, i think when most people are saying either they are meaning the same thing.

 

[illidurit]

hmm except that a 'grunt' is defined not only by pitch but by duration, so if people use 'grunt' and 'growl' interchangably they're wrong, like metal wrath

 

[Heavenscent]

I still have no clue. Basically, I always use grunting.

 

[metal_wrath]

wrong again ^

edit: to illidurit

i always thought that "grunts" is just a stupid expression for the word "growls"
imo its the same

 

[saut]

AGREE. Anyway this guy sings is phenominal. Nothing wrong with more "clean" style.

lol at the grunt vs. growl discussion. As if it matters...

 

[Id]

it doesn't matter because it's clearly growl

 

[:Wreath:]

fuck you all - it's cookie monster voice!

 

[Midwinter_melancholY]

hahah!

 

[Towedwart]

fuck you all - it's cookie monster voice!

I've killed three people in my life for saying that. Don't test me.

 

[MegaMoose]

If you ask me, bands like Opeth use more of a roar than a growl.

 

[:Wreath:]

what about snarling then...?

evil burping anyone... ?

mouth-farting maybe... ?

[makethestringscry]

I have noticed that Mikael can't resist an "oogh" grunt at the end of every groove-oriented riff (i.e. Serenity Painted Death and Harlequin Forest).

haha, yes, very true.

 

[:Wreath:]

yeah, but look how beautifully it fits

The thing at 8:00min in Nectar, I hereby define as "blood-curdling awesome vocals"

When I was 12 and I was listening to Korn or some shit, I took a break and listened to Nectar. That part made me Hate everything non-Opeth. (Especially Korn)
