I think that's the point. I really liked Burzum when I was in my early teens...

Hmm . . . I really like the vocals . . . maybe there's something wrong with me.

distressed_romeo · 05-17-2006, 10:54 AM

Not at all. I think Varg was defnitely one of the most evil sounding vocalists from that genre; he's one of the few who managed to sound genuinely unhinged. Have you heard the old recordings of Dead? Now that's how distorted vocals should sound...truly blood-curdling...

Best:

Warrel Dane (Nevermore) - at first it was hard to get into his style of lyrics, but I still listened to Nevermore because I loved everything else about it, especially Jeff's playing. He has a style I haven't heard anywhere else. It really grew on me, plus this guy is a genius when it comes to lyrics.

Johan Hegg (Amon Amarth) - this guy has a set of pipes on him, man can he growl, first time I heard AA I instantly knew that the vocals were one of their best attributes, of course AA wouldn't be AA without the sick riffs played by Johan and Olavi. Hegg is no stump when it comes to lyrics either, his music is like poetry.

Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth) - while I'm not too familiar with their music I do know that this guy has the best of both worlds, his growls are low and menacing and sound better than most other vocalists I've heard in that style, while his cleans are so perfect, he's a very talented individual taking on vocals and lead guitar in the same band.

One band that I could never stand is Hootie & The Blowfish.

But you DO focus on what the Berklee crowd thinks...?

I think how a band presents themselves can say a lot about how they view themselves and their music - when I look at an Opeth band picture, I see "we're not pretentious," whereas with Dimmu Borgir, I don't exactly get that.

I think NSBM is dead now any way, only 16 year olds are into it.

Nazis are stupid thought!

Who likes the singer in Sun Caged? Their album came in the mail yesterday and I gotta say, he is an awesome vocalist. He links with the music so well.
