How I got into BM and harsh vocals

Harsh and growls had always been a turn off in Metal for me. I could stand them when mixed with clean vocals but never as the only type of vocals. But in my listening experience I found a few bands that got into them either by their musical composition or thanks to my curiosity. I won't talk about growls, but Agonist, Arch Enemy, Opeth, Amon Amarth and Gojira got me into them. I still don't like Brutal Death Metal though. Same goes for Black Metal, list is those bands that got me into that style, yet I don't listen to Trve BM, needs a little bit more than that. List is in no order, I think this spans on 6 months of discoveries.
1Death
The Sound of Perseverance


The voice is closer to BM than Death Metal here, and the music is outstanding, yet closer to DM than BM. This record helped me a lot with Harsh vocals
2Windir
Arntor


I really can't explain how I liked them. I checked them out and was instantly curious to listen to that whole album, yet it wasn't something I should have liked. But I did, Windir is a genious band.
3Ulver
Bergtatt - Et eeventyr i 5 capitler


Clean and Harsh Vocals together, with some aggressive parts. Easy access into the style.
4Storm
Nordavind


It's got that folkish BM style but with clean vocals. A side project of Fenrir of folk songs turned into BM styled songs.
5Caladan Brood
Echoes Of Battle


Yeah, that's one hell of a good reason. Epic BM talking about the Malazan Books Of The Fallen. Loved the record so much I actually bought the first three books and am on the second one. I recommend to anyone who enjoyed GOT and LOTR.
6Vallendusk
Black Clouds Gathering


This record also got me into bandcamp. I can't explain but I feel happy listening to this album, yet I don't think that's what they were trying to do. Anyway I loved the music and and started to enjoy the harsher vocals.
7Hoth
Oathbreaker


Star Wars themed BM with Melodic intrumentalisation.
8Downfall of Nur
Umbras de Barbagia


This records showed me that you can do even more with harsh vocals. Yeah I don't understand more than two-three words due to the production of the vocals (wind-like) but the emotions are there.
