The Smoke and A Servant show off his vocals best. Their latest album, Silent Waters, was one of my favouries last year. Some really stunning music on it.ZantetsukenQ said:I'm just going to see what I think to Amorphis, on your recommendation dude. I wholeheartedly agree though about the vocalist from The Absence. He is wicked good. Melodeath without the generic feel to it.Rusty Bucket said:Have to love Akerfeldt. Also, special mention goes to Tomi Joutsen from Amorphis, who i think rivals Akerfeldt, especially when it comes to clean vox. My all time favourite vocalist though would be Jamie Stewart from The Absence.ZantetsukenQ said:To add to the discussion about Death Metal vocals, I am such a huge fan of Mikael Åkerfeldt vocals. His Death Metal band Bloodbath are incredible. His vocals are very accessible for anyone who doesn't usually listen to Death Metal. A great starting point in my opinion for future converts. I suggest tracks: So you Die, Like Fire.Bulletinmybrain said:Whoever told me before that death growls will grow on you.. That is the truth.
Haha yeah, I remember when I hated the vocals of bands like Slipknot.Rusty Bucket said:Hurray! Another convert.Bulletinmybrain said:Whoever told me before that death growls will grow on you.. That is the truth.
My taste sure has changed
Well i like various genres. Such as power(Nightwish), viking(Ensiferum), black/viking(Enslaved), nü(Slipknot). I don't stick with one genre. I tend to be diverse about metal
Try looking at Anterior. They're a Welsh metalcore-esque band but there's no light singing a la Bullet for my Valentine. They're a good band to look into.
In addition try Imperanon, if you like Children of Bodom then you'll most likely like them. They sound exactly alike, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Blinded Colony is also a good listen. Metalcore.

I went to The Faceless, Cynic and Meshuggah two nights ago. It was AWESOME and gave me new respect for all three bands (Cynic especially--those dudes have such a feel for what sounds good). Meshuggah was way better live than any recording that I've heard; they are both intense and have a sense of humor ("How about some noise for the opener bands? How about some noise for us? That's pretty fucking cheesy eh?").
Hurray, an Anterior fan! I love their album, do you ahve any idea if they're doing something with new material? I can't wait for their second album.the_tramp said:

Favorite bands include:
King Diamond
Nine Inch Nails
Ensiferum
Tool
Black Sabbath
Iron Maiden
Therion
Ministry
Fear Factory
GWAR
Metallica
Rammstein
Static-X
Theres lots more...I tend to go more for the older, non-American stuff. Also I believe in the rule that in order to write good Metal, the artist has to be really pissed off about something.

Just looked at their myspace, they're writing at the moment and hope to have their second album out late summer this year. I am officially excited.the_tramp said:
I just got the latest Arise and Ruin album, and boy do I dig it. Dirty metal and hardcore elements...it's like the soundtrack to every night you've ever spent drinking beer and being reckless.

Get lost in it as much as you want, i like hearing about obscure bands, they might be good. You've got a lot of black metal on that list, haven't heard of most of it.fenrizz said:Metal? me loves it!
