Worst Vocalists In Metal

[derbeder]

you are one post away from 10000 dude.

btw my vote goes to... atilla

 

[Kir-ir-Bannog]

^^nah pretty sure he meant black metal iirc

you are correct, i cannot stand this absurd screeching. Sounds like a pig being slaughtered crossed with someone playing with velcro. Even more absurd than most Death Metal vocalists.

The only extreme vocals i can tolerate is when they actually ENUNCIATE their vocals and i can actually decifer at least some of the lyrics. Otherwise they might aswell be singing about what they had for lunch or something as banal.

Bowel movement is quite apt really, sounds like they are trying to shift some humungous dry turd and splitting their ring in the process.

Solid evidence Alexi is, in fact, awesome

And any growler who does that ultra low growl that sounds like burping (IE Psycroptic).

Bullshit! Burpcore style rules!

Shagrath was fucking terrible from Puritanical onwards. However, he did some really good powerful stuff on Enthrone and Spiritual.

Otherwise, yep, Dani Filth gets my vote.

And that guy from Weakling is so bad he's good, it's like he's come full circle.

 

[opeth_353]

just thought of one who i don't think is especially good but absolutely essential for the music...jason mendonca

There is no way in hell that Mendonca's the worst metal vocalist. Just listen to him against Davis and then you will realise how you're wrong.

 

[opeth_353]

and am i the only here who likes jonathan davis' vox?

I'd hope it was so, but sadly there's a shed load of 13 year old 'goths' who take deep meaning in his 'korn babble' or whatever it's called

 

[i aint play this]

fuckin tom araya.

His yell is kinda retarded i admit, but i still love it for its raw brutality...i love old Slayer and always will.

I forgot about dave mustaine, he's awful. I remember someone said he sounds like donald duck getting fucked with a christmas tree which pretty much sums him up perfect.



Second place goes to the guy on the Gathering's "Almost a Dance." He sounds like some kind of off-key rennaissance fair attendee.[/QUOTE]

The singer almost sounds like a crappy mike patton.

 

[evildave]

Mustaine is the one who's annoyed me the most by preventing me from enjoying some music I'd like to get into but I'm sure there's worse...

 

[Dalkaen]

Haha, I like Dave Mustaine's vocals. I like vocalists with eccentric styles.. The guys in Mastodon can't sing worth shit, for instance, but I love it.

 

[angelofdeath9308]

I can't remember the name, I'm thinking Norma Jean, but it sounds like the singer is dying. And the music seems to make no sense either, I'm not sure what you would call it, noisecore?

 

[angelofdeath9308]

Now I remember, it's converge.

 

[LichofHell]

maynard

No way!!!

 

[BRI]

Dave Mustaine
Varg
LaBrie and all the other neo-prog metal (whatever it's called) singers
The power metal genre has a heck of alot

lol at someone saying Mendonca, he's far and away the best of his style.

 

[intimidatingcrustaceans]

i never said mendonca was the worst, i said i disliked his vocal style but think he's perfect for the type of music he's playing...and he definitely runs miles around j. davis

 

[Travis]

Thought of another one today - as much as I love the band, I really dont like Darrin Travis' vocals in Sadus.

 

[derbeder]

some gridcore vocalist i don't know the name of

 

[BRI]
