11.23.18 | that mercyful fate gon get you some hate, doof.
i kinda agree on the description, but that makes it work for me, i dunno lol |

11.23.18 | Hey, there's four types of metal vocals I like even less so there's something |
osmark86
11.23.18 | which ones do you like best? |
tyman128
11.23.18 | couldn’t agree more on 2 |
osmark86
11.23.18 | goth, symphonic and power metal is something I generally avoid like the plague with the vocal style being part of the reason |
DoofDoof
11.23.18 | Tough question in metal, admittedly
More a question of them just fitting the style and transmitting personality.
For example, say Max Cavelera - not going to win a singing contest, but his vocals suit Sepultura to perfection...to the point the new dude they hired sounds incredibly boring in comparison. |
osmark86
11.23.18 | I agree, vocals generally are more or less suited for their contexts. it's also very individual due to the skill-level of the vocalist too as you pointed out.
I have to say I'm a sucker for high pitched blackened vocals, gutteral death vocals and caveman screams (think Caleb [rip] from Cave In) myself. |
Demon of the Fall
11.23.18 | I came in here to wreak havoc upon your grossly inaccurate list... but I sort of agree on all these, except for 9 because I have no idea what that actually means (having never heard the band).
@osmark: I struggle with the power/symphonic side as well. |
osmark86
11.23.18 | the singer from Type O Negative had a really deep and gloomy voice to give you an idea |

11.23.18 | Demon just listen to Pete Steele and try to hide your guilty erection |

11.23.18 | my fav metal vox are:
1. Low growl
2. High shriek
3. Deep Gurgle (also known as diarreah vox) |
DoofDoof
11.23.18 | I'd say vocal styles 1, 3, 4, 8 and 10 is a combination of me finding the singing style cheesy/naff and also they tend to be generic and 'personality-free'
2, 5, 6, 7 and 9 are all about putting across a load of personality but are usually laughable, but at least generally less generic |
osmark86
11.23.18 | I would think diarreah vox would be closer to resembling that uncomfortable moan you give out whilst in the process of involuntary bowel cleansing |
DoofDoof
11.23.18 | 'diarreah vox'
Undeniably pack more artistic merit than what's been included in this list |
rabidfish
11.23.18 | it's more like the sound of the diarreah itself |
DoofDoof
11.23.18 | ok need to put in 'glam metal gang' vocals they put in the chorus...sheesh
|
osmark86
11.23.18 | "it's more like the sound of the diarreah itself"
taking talking shit to a whole new level |
DoofDoof
11.23.18 | This list now goes 'one heavier' |
osmark86
11.23.18 | 'glam metal gang' vocals
oh indeed |
kalkwiese
11.23.18 | This list has some top vocalists |
tyman128
11.23.18 | maybe harsh rapping that just doesn’t work at all? *coughAttilacough* |
DoofDoof
11.23.18 | well the idea was more the 'styles' they represent, so the album representations may not be the worst example of the art...but then I don't like any of the vocals from the bands on the list so all good |
BigBlob
11.23.18 | metalicuck vocals no.1 |
RunOfTheMill
11.23.18 | A solid half of these are the best things ever tho |
kalkwiese
11.23.18 | Yep, love the ones I know from this list. This needs more love
Except for BMTH. Urgh. |
NeroCorleone80
11.23.18 | Great list. The cover art alone for 3 tells me how bad it is. Ugh. |
WoodeeX
11.23.18 | didn't know it was possible to not like Peter Steels vocals. agree with the rest. metalcore mixed with cleans is just the worst. |
DoofDoof
11.23.18 | Peter Steele - I get it, I just don't personally get off on it |
Casavir
11.23.18 | "that mercyful fate gon get you some hate, doof."
And deservedly so. |
PatternsInTheIvy
11.23.18 | Yeah, the tough guy vox are tyhrash gbawehsihoih |
hal1ax
11.23.18 | haha good list |
bloc
11.23.18 | Gargling frogs vox |
Conmaniac
11.23.18 | Where's Bowser vox? |

11.23.18 | All of these are accurate |
auberginedreams
11.23.18 | 2 is awful. 1 can be done well but also can be done very badly. |
bgillesp
11.23.18 | 5 is a hard yes. Check Akercocke and make a category just for them. Worst metal vox ever |
iglu
11.23.18 | motley crue slays, hater |
bgillesp
11.23.18 | Doof hates everything. Ya just gotta get used to it |

11.23.18 | lol |
Demon of the Fall
11.23.18 | idk then you’d be missing out that faux-singing I’m sort of talking but not really ‘Lily Allen’ style vox. |
alamo
11.23.18 | accurate list but missing the harsh vox metal rapping a la amaranthe |
DoofDoof
11.24.18 | Demon is correct - that estuary half-spoken Kate Nash brogue would definitely make the cut |
Meridiu5
12.11.18 | list is essential to life
though andre matos is great in other less vomit worthy stuff |

12.11.18 | Good bump |
