What are some of the most extreme vocals in metal

[~Neurotica]

Mortifera
Arckanum
King Diamond, Mercyful Fate

 

[Zephyrus]

Dragonforce

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

haha^


but, has anyone heard the band "entity?" they utilize a lot of what seem like pig grunts and stuff...i want more like that. meshuggah are hardly intolerable...i dont find cryptopsy that bad either....

Obviously you guys missed the point of vocals entirely. It's better than having bands with same shrieks all the fucking time, where's the character in that?

I'd pretty much rather have anything than some guy cooing.

I forgot to add: Guttural Secrete and Inhuman Dissiliency

Anyway, Xasthur has some nuts vocals, Beatrik,and Mutiilation.

If it sounds like shit in your own opinion and makes the music unenjoyable for you, then what's the point? Just because it is different and unique does NOT make it good. Then again, it's a matter of personal taste.

And Varg's vulture screams are good. Dripping has some pretty awesome dual vocal shit going on as well. Unique (and good)

 

[Pђoenix]

First thing that came to my mind was Brain Drill; most of the time the vocals are just annoying screeches that do nothing for me.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

King Diamond, Mercyful Fate

Don't diss King Diamond!

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

so far wormed is the one we like the most....

any other strange vocal recommendations are appreciated

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

hahahah silencer is fucking perfect

 

[NinjaGeek]

I dunno how extreme they are but the Japanese band Dir En Grey has a huge variety of odd screams and singing. Check out the songs Saku, Clever Sleazoid, and Child Prey

Nazgul

all perfectly good black metal ruined by awful vocals.

I'm getting used to those stupid shriek things. Nazgul's music in general is fantastic, so I've been really trying to like the vox

Meshuggah

? Meshs's vox are very good and not weird at all.

 

[~Neurotica]

Meshs's vox are very good and not weird at all.

Meshuggah's vox are weird, because the vocalist mixes growl with some other kind of vocal. You don't hear that kind of singing often.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Definitely Demilich

Dark Tribe and Helheim's first

 

[challenge_everything]

For something completely different (not extreme, just odd), check out Vortex's vocals on Arcturus' 'The Chaos Path'. And also Garm's vox on 'Whence and Whither Goest the Wind'.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

just listened to dark tribe...not bad at all.


still searching for pigs and animal noises and shit. the low burping/gargling is awesome but i have heard it before.


awesome recommendations though, guys...thanks and keep them coming

Vocals on Behemoth's Demigod are the most brutal vox I've ever heard. It totally sounds inhuman.

Chucks vocals on TSoP sound like a witch... The only ones that havent been mentioned that come to mind
