[QUOTE=Dimmu Burger;15767416]I'll have to listen again, either way I thought the vocals were kinda annoying and you can't even remotely tell what he is saying, or if he is even saying anything at all.[/QUOTE]

Haha, I don't think you're supposed to. His vocals are extremely muffled, like he really likes to cup the microphone when he growls. I used to do that, but Mappy taught me better.

I'm not one of those guys who has to understand the lyrics all of the time, in fact I rarely pay attention to them. I just had a hard time with ID from some reason.

Yea, he's incredibly muffled. Inexperienced singers tend to cup the microphone with thier hands in addition to practically eating it...due to the proximity effect, it brings out more low end in the sound source. Inexperienced singers do that to get that low growly sound when they can't naturally accomplish it yet...and they often do it without really being conscious of it.

Credit to Mappy for getting me to kick that habit, and credit to my school for teaching me why it works lol.

It's kinda retarded that he would do that in the studio though.

It's kinda ironic that I've ended up cupping the mic when I growl, but like, my one friend's really good with recording and just musical equipment in general, and I was quite embarassed when he told me my vocals were fine but that I need to learn some mic technique.

So now I hold the mic a bit away from my mouth for highs and I cup it for lows to equalize volume and ****.

Also, if you cup the mic really tight and do highs into it, it comes out as a weird pseudo-layered sound.

Yeah I had to work on that for awhile, cause people couldn't hear me at shows when I did low stuff but i was very audible with the highs.

Yea, it is. I mean, there's an entire plethora of outboard gear and plugins that can be used to accomplish the same thing without sounding so muffled.

[QUOTE=Valhall;15766139]Its quite funny....rapping in French in the middle of a death metal song....[/QUOTE]

Ruins the song

[QUOTE=Toaster;15771370]Ruins the song[/QUOTE]

At least it's only for like 6 seconds, then the song returns to awesomness.

Not to go off topic, but anyone else here listen to Legion of the Damned?

The heavyness of [I]The Gathering[/I] at the pace of [I]Ravenous[/I]

Thats a Testament album and an Arch Enemy song...just to clarify.

Legion of the Damned are a thrash metal band. Not a death metal band. And they are plain.

[QUOTE=Cocaine;15775013]they are plain.[/QUOTE]

Thrash is pretty common-place in a lot death metal anyways and as much as Obituary gets brought up in here...c'mon now.

The above quote was all you needed to say.

but thrash being commonplace in death metal is irrelevant because they're not death metal

Plus Obituary is death metal...

He just gets dumber and dumber :\

BRA or masterchaos?

So all death metal bands that have a "thrash vibe" to them shouldn't be brought up period? What about a thrash band with a death metal vibe? Do they belong here or the thrash thread?

or

Does there need to be another retarded sub genre called Death Thrash or Thrash Death?

OR

stfu straight up thrash doesn't fit!

thrashy death metal does fit though!

from this masterchaos must now throw a fit!

i like boys because their butts are fit!

I guess I just don't like confining everything to a certain genre. Its all just metal to me and I'm sorry most of you feel the opposite.

I'm sorry that we have a seperate thread for thrash discussion. :/

[QUOTE=TTEOVD;15775271]I'm sorry that we have a seperate thread for thrash discussion. :/[/QUOTE]

That hasn't been seen nor heard of since late 06. :/

If only we could bump it!

Matt, you can't rhyme "fit" with "fit", fag[size=2]g[/size]ot. :mad:

HOWEVER, you can [I]emphasize[/I] a word without any intention of rhyming!

Yeah but that's just gay.

its okay 5/5

Did I mention I like boys with FIT butts?

That's forced ryhming and it only works if you're 2Pac.

Sadly, you're not 2Pac.
