11.22.16 | Dm vocals are way harder to "get into" than bm ones imho. Both are silly, but the deep dm growls are much more "tryharded", unnatural, and therefore more visibly ridiculous compared to the bm screams, which are not that far from "normal", emotional screaming (depending on the case). |
ramon.
11.22.16 | For me, it was second-hand listening to Whoracle by In Flames (my uncle listened to some damn good stuff) when I was still but a youngin' with no preconception as to what constituted as "popular" music. I distinctly remember my first conscious exposure to pop music, sitting in the back of my nan's car as Katy Perry came on the radio (family rarely listened to the radio as kids) and I couldn't figure out why she wasn't screaming. Didn't get properly dug into metal for years after but I still find it amusing that screams were more appropriate to my growing brain than actual singing. |
Keyblade
11.22.16 | Silenius from summoning has the most ridiculous bm vox
one of his greatest gifts to the world was performing vocals on a few Abigor records |
Astral Abortis
11.22.16 | I think a mix of listening to Opeth and lots of hardcore punk got me into harsh vox |

11.22.16 | Napalm Death got me into extreme vox. So much silliness lol, love it. |
Rastapunk
11.22.16 | In flames had harsh vocals before Jester Race by the way. |
Gameofmetal
11.22.16 | for harsh vocals and heavier music, i just went from metallica to killswitch engage to heavier stuff. deathcore took me a bit but it opened me up to more extreme styles. black metal specifically i didnt get into until around the time i joined this site and it was caladan brood/wolves in the throne room that did it. |

11.22.16 | Sepultura got me into harsh(er) vocals and music - Chaos A.D. and Arise. Before that I was only interested in my nu-metal stuff. Gotta say too, most of these albums have such awesome art. Definitely a huge plus. |

11.22.16 | Nowadays harsh vocals don't do much for me most of the time. They're just kinda there and the music is what keeps me interest. |
DungeonBoy
11.22.16 | In Flames - Whoracle
At the Gates - Slaughter of the Soul
Dark Tranquillity - Haven
Soilwork - The Chainheart Machine
Children of Bodom - Something Wild
Arch Enemy - Burning Bridges
Night In Gales - Thunderbeast
Shadows Fall - Of One Blood
...all got me into harsh vocals, as I was pretty much introduced to all of those bands at once. Changed my life. That felt very nostalgic typing that out (: |
Brewtality91
11.22.16 | the lamest example? Three Days Grace. The one screamed part in 'Riot' was awesome. And also Rise Against has a couple songs where he screams.
Then it was basically Korn, Lamb of God, Dark Tranquillity and Amon Amarth back in '08 |
Nazzadan
11.22.16 | I was big into Maiden and Megadeth when I was in early middle school, and I saw an edgy kid walk by in a Children of Bodom shirt. So I looked them up and gave them a listen. I transitioned into harsh vocals pretty easily, I never found them abrasive or barring my entry into more extreme subgenres. |

11.22.16 | I think Melo Death is a big gateway for a lot of people into the heavier stuff. |
Nazzadan
11.22.16 | Agreed |
Mystletainn
11.22.16 | I think all the vocalists on this list are pretty tame nowadays |
Brewtality91
11.22.16 | Cannibal Corpse and Suffocation are entry level nowadays. Especially Cryptopsy. |
Brewtality91
11.22.16 | Oh you like heavier music? Here's Tomb of the Mutilated, None so Vile and Effigy of the Forgotten. Have fun! |
Rastapunk
11.22.16 | Like I said in the description. I don't like brutal DM or trve BM. |
