What do you think of metal bands with 2 singers? - Page 2

Triple-J · 04-21-2009, 03:46 PM

I like dual vocals and don't think enough bands use them.
On record as long as there's a difference in vocal tones it works but live I like the "Tag Team" vibe it gives off as I think it adds to the show, Raging Speedhorn were a great example of this despite them having 2 very similar vocalists they were very impressive and downright ferocious as a live band!

synrgy · 04-21-2009, 03:48 PM

I'd like to hear one that doesn't make me want to punch myself in the nuts repeatedly.

That's what I think about them.

In concept -- awesome. In practice, so far as what little I've been exposed to -- EPIC fail.

Personally, i think its pointless as hell in a metal context.

Yeah, I was about to say that. Tim Roth does the backing vocals.

Why do you hate Alice In Chains?

Two singers is fine, just like two guitarists, two drummers, etc. Even awesome at times, and they don't have to contrast each other, IMHO. Disarmona Mundi have three singing both growls and cleans on some songs... and some like 'Process For Annihilation' have growls layering up and it sounds positively beastly.

there is nothing i can say thats bad about that song but it doesnt need 3 singers to do it. THAT IS ....IN LAME!!!!!!!!!!! what are they, the prog-metal choir? do they circle jerk on stage? that is truely some nerdy shit.

eegor · 04-21-2009, 05:26 PM

The only band I can say I've heard that has two singers is Fellsilent. I don't like the harsh vocals too much, but that's more because I'm not much of a fan of screamo vocals. However I think their clean vocals are fantastic. They harmonize just about everything, and I think it really adds character to their music.

Daemoniac · 04-21-2009, 05:30 PM

I think they can be great, i mean Sikth, Mushroomhead and Ill Nino all have 2 singers, and i really like all three of them

On the other hand, bands with as shit a male singer as Lacuna Coil...

I dunno, I'd say all the vocalists sound different and that it would be awesome live.

Wow... "Not my cup of tea" would do... shit, I don't think I've ever neg. repped anyone on here on the 2+ years I've been a contributor, and given the recent abuse of the neg. rep system, I'm really avoiding it but dude, you made me think about it.

Of course, you shit on Sikth as well, so there's really no accounting for taste here.

dude i didnt direct anything toward YOU and you wanna neg rep me? sorry, didnt mean to talk smack about your lovers. check it out, i am harsh when i dont like something but a am also very nice when i do. and some of you are gonna findout how very generous i can be, hopefully by the end of the year. so if you wanna neg rep me go ahead, i got thick skin n broad shoulders, wont mean shit.

noodleplugerine · 04-21-2009, 08:55 PM

Acting like a hard ass doesn't impress anyone.

Stop being so provocative, nobody actually cares what you think, but at the same time, they don't like seeing their fave bands get bashed.

Oh and by the by, SiKth rock.

Dual vocals done perfectly, taking turns, doubling up clean and scream, harmonizing, all sorts going on, and unlike single singer bands that do the same - they could actually do it live.

metal_head666 · 04-21-2009, 09:00 PM

One doing clean and another doing growls or whatnot is good. I must say that I HATE female vocals, unless it's WitTR type stuff.

i didnt say anything against you either. if nobody "actually" cares what i think then nobody cares what you think, right? and if thats the case, why do you post on here. im not directing anything at anyone here and if i do its cause they brought it to me.

3 inches of blood and lacuna coil come to mind.... nightwish etc...

He's a lot better on the new album. They got a larger practice room and it has more room for vocal practice I was told, plus they spent a lot more time focusing on vocals on this album.

Im glad

I really do like them, and even on the CD's hes not too bad, but i watched a live DVD one of my mates has, and damn... its just awful

DDDorian · 04-21-2009, 09:36 PM

a7stringkilla - I do see your point, but that's just not how shit goes down around here. Try to be less abrasive in future.

Also, I swear to Gilbert Gottfried, if this turns into another bitchfight about rep I'm signing you all up to the Brokencyde mailing list.

im surprised nobodys mentioned the number 12 looks like you.

Stealthdjentstic · 04-21-2009, 10:04 PM

I see two singers just like I see having an extra string...more options!

Apex1rg7x · 04-21-2009, 10:20 PM

How and the .... has this got to 5 pages without anyone mentioning FellSilent? Come the .... on people...

shredfreak · 04-21-2009, 10:25 PM

Should work fine as long as everything matches togheter really.

Bland street bloom from sikth was a pretty good example but will prolly take a lot of practise to get it right (specially with volume differences).

Only examples that come to mind atm are brutal truth & gorguts and there's some interesting stuff going on on bucketheads enter the chicken album aswell.
Gorguts is prolly a bad example here since there's no real tag teaming or harmonizing going on there though so

Seems like your singer is kinda in the same lane im in. I cant scream for shit & double tracking vocal lines literally is a pain to pull of

. would be cool if the bassist or guitarist could learn to scream since i'm not too happy with my own "sound".

I must admit i'm interested to see how Scar Symmetry do with 2 vocalists in place of Christian.

It is, I just saw them recently and I'm going to see them again before the month is through. They had the new album streaming on their myspace to check out.. LACUNA COIL - [SHALLOW LIFE Out NOW!] on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads
