I don't sound like him, but I think I'm as bad as him.

[QUOTE=Behemoth_Rules_All]It took me a good year or two to really master them......once you've got them down though, it's like cheescake (and stuff)...[/QUOTE]
I wish I could get to that point, but I can never find myself to just sit down and learn them. I get pissed off because I can't figure them out and then quit.

It takes time and perseverance. However, trust me, once you have them down, you won't want to quit. My band gets angry all the time because I won't quit laying squeals into riffs all the time. I do go kindof overboard though....it's so much fun!


Vocally, i have many influences, including Karl from Nile, Nathan from Vehemence, and George from Cannibal Corpse.....but you have to watch how much you try to be like someone else----I always keep inmind to be natural and myself at the same time.

[QUOTE=FuryInArt]I aspire to Mikael Stanne for my harsh vocals...he sounds really good.

However I still need a lot more practice before I reach his level - I'm getting there, though.[/QUOTE]

His vocals are like what comes naturally when you're doing harsh vocals right... at least that's how it is for me.

Currently I sound like a crappy halfbreed between Black and Death Metal vocals...but I guess that's what practice is for. Any of you have any techniques I could use to get my screams up to the level of James Malone (Arsis), Mikael Stanne (DT) and Ihsan (Emperor)?

I'm in a great mood. I just had two fish tacos, quesadilla, chips, and beans from Rubio's. And I got my account name changed :)

Don't do what hurts? I mean I don't know, any true singing technique is universal, there's nothing special for specific vocals (unless you pull a Dani Filth, which is extremely dangerous (inhale screaming) to your throat, lungs, and vocal tissue).

None of it hurts...death growls feel fine (if leaving me slightly hoarse afterwards), the Black metal groans feel equally fine and don't even leave me sounding throaty. Even my absolutely horrid attempts to scream in a medium-high/high voice don't hurt. I just get no volume or projection whatsoever and my tone is horrible.

My vocals are sorta a mix between, Trevor(TBDM), Alexi Laiho and I can do deep growls.

When I do I mostly scream/growl from the throat, which obviously isn't good. I'm decent but not great.

I can sing AYDY (title track) very well and a couple other Bodom songs.
I was messing around with The Wretched Spawn and I was singing that decently.

Inward singing man. They're only rocking you half the time!

I think the growl that has moved me the most would be the guy from November's Doom/Subterranean Masquerade. Name, anyone? I think it's the same guy..heh

Even if you are slightly hoarse afterwards, that's a somewhat bad sign.. Try relaxing, opening your throat more, and don't push it......let it flow just as in clean singing... you will notice that even harsh, angry vocals (growls and screams)take no effort when singers such as Dimmu Borgir's frontman or Dani Filth (normal vocals) do it correctly........


Pay attention to European vocalists....ignore most American Vocalists(they have a bad habit of putting too much effort and emotion into it, and blowing thier voices out).

It took me a while to get where I wanted to be vocally (another reason why I cringe when I hear our demo).

What say you guys to our horrible 'black metal?'

OMFG I'M SO PISSED!!!

I just got back from Best Buy where I was going to get my ipod fixed or replaced. When I got it, they said the warranty covers everything, but they oh-so conveniently forgot to mention it didn't that it didn't cover WATER DAMAGE!!!! I went to a different guy after they told me they couldn't fix it and asked what the warranty covered. He said everything. I asked "Water damage?" He said "oh except that" with a blank look on his face.

WHY THE FU[SIZE="2"]CK[/SIZE] WOULD YOU TELL SOMEONE THAT IT COVERS EVERYTHING WHEN IT CLEARLY DOESN"T COVER EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha^

It's not ****ing funny.

I spent 350 dollars of my own hard earned cash on that goddamn thing. I can't believe people can be that incompetent/dishonest.

Same happened to me, except somebody smashed mine.

I wasn't laughing at your loss......I think it's hilarious that people/companies can be that retarded.

Why the **** would you spend 350 on an ipod? I bought mine for 50 and it works just fine.

[QUOTE=Eleventeen]Same happened to me, except somebody smashed mine.[/QUOTE]

So they don't have hammer damage covered, either? :mad: Ripoff.

[QUOTE=Moses] sort of long rant[/QUOTE]

I'm sure they would have said that if you came with any other damage. Ipods piss me off.

Hahaha, it was very irritating dude.

Somebody broke into my locker and smashed it.

That's immaturity right there imo.

If that's not immaturity I don't know what is. Maybe some girl who had a elementary school crush on you decided it would be cute to tear apart your locker - guess you haven't found the love message beneath the stack of debris yet. :p

These guys are amazing; I might have to send an album to Oz for the Daily Upload.

How long do name changes usually take?

Whenever Jim gets around to it I suppose.

Mine only took a couple of days.
