With these extreme genres, there are bands that act as good gateways for the sort of vocal style they use. This could be bands that use a mix of harsh and clean vocals (eg Killswitch Engage - The End of Heartache is a good album) or music that is very catchy so the vocals become bearable (and then you sort of grow to love them). Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper or some of the early-ish In Flames stuff such as Clayman or Whoracle are good examples for this. For the faster stuff, something like Slayer - South of Heaven or Seasons in the Abyss could be good, as it has a mix of fast and slow songs, so you may grow to enjoy the quicker stuff if you give it a few spins. I'm not sure if you're open to recommendations or not. I also apologise if some of these are obvious, but you never know really. Ozzman made a good suggestion above with Dio (solo + Black Sabbath albums), he has a very rich and passionate voice. The below albums would also be worth a look. They're just off the top of my head and hopefully avoid the sort of stuff you dislike: Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard of Ozz, Diary of a Madman Black Sabbath - Paranoid, Master of Reality, Sabotage Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, Powerslave, Brave New World Bruce Dickinson - Accident of Birth, The Chemical Wedding Metallica - Metallica, Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance Megadeth - Youthanasia, Countdown to Extinction Godsmack - Faceless, The Oracle Edguy - Tinnitus Sanctus, Space Police Avantasia - The Scarecrow, Ghostlights Type O Negative - October Rust Sentenced - The Cold White Light Battle Beast - Battle Beast Black Label Society - The Blessed Hellride Avatairum - Hurricanes and Halos Savage Messiah - Hands of Fate Wolf - Ravenous |

Yeah....you're right about me mixing them. Good point. Didn't think of it. To tell you the truth, I mainly have a hard time finding enjoyment in secular/mainstream music. Some songs I like because they sound cool, or they're theme songs to video games (Still Alive - Mirrors Edge and Blow Me Away - Halo 2). I've thought much of mainstream music lacked any good meaning, much of any wholesome lyrics, and wasn't just about drugs or sex or just downright negative things in life. Of course some music with those themes are really good songs, and songs with none of those ideas in mind but are still fun to listen to. In the end, I'm probably quite mistaken about this. Here are a few of the songs that are pretty much the heaviest I like, in terms of rock. I could explore new music later on: Collide, Savior, Imperfection, and Open Wounds - Skillet, with Collide being one of my favorite Skillet songs and one of my all time favorite songs. Yours Again, Confession, Death of Me, Impostor, Shadow and Soul, Darkest Part, What you Keep Alive (arguably their heaviest song to date), Fight to Forget - RED, with Yours Again one of my all time favorite songs, and my favorite song by them. Trying to think of more to say....too tired. It's past midnight lol. |

Am I crazy or did this thread disappear a while back? I know I don't log in much (maybe once every couple months lol) but last time I was here I could not for the life of me find this thread. I also noticed the whole politics section is gone. I feel out of the loop....
Anyways back on topic, Cannibal Corpse is playing near me in November and I'm going to try to get some tickets to see them. Hate Eternal and Harm's Way are touring with them and I'm a fan of Hate Eternal as well. Exciting! Some new music I picked up recently include Ghost's new album Prequelle. It pretty much picks up on the direction they were going with their last one so it met my expectations. Got an album by a band called Audrey Horne (Twin Peaks reference which is what grabbed my attention) and they are a Norwegian band that plays pretty much classic style hard rock/heavy metal with super catchy songs and very Thin Lizzy-ish riffs. They are quite enjoyable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXax8uBLluo I think the most impressive album I picked up though was Schammasch's Triangle. I came across them on youtube and was impressed enough to purchase the album off Amazon. Triangle is 3 discs, each one with a particular theme and musical style. It's a pretty interesting listen with some of it sounding similar to say Behemoth while other songs have weird chanting vocals and even instrumental world music. It is all very atmospheric and moody and I'm loving it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3xZDdVq2kQ |

The best thing about metal is it offers a multitude of sounds for people who don't like those vocals or extreme music overall. |

Just found out about Vended.. Corey Taylor's son Griffin is the vocalist and he sounds exactly like his Dad. I would give a kidney to hear him perform the entirety of Iowa
This song piqued my interest as an early one. It's not perfect but I'm going to follow their output for awhile They really kinda do sound like early Slipknot without the rage but the talent is there. Twiztid has been getting more quitar driven lately which I like but I hope they go back to horrorcore if I had to choose I find with metal it's easy to stop seeking out new stuff more so than any other genre. I hope this thread gets attention, if memory serves it's how I found out about SepticFlesh and I love them ♡ |

Thanks Harley.
What do you mean by dirty vocals? Something like this with dirty lyrics or …. … something like this with really extreme screaming vocals: … or something with raspy vocals like this: Last edited by Tombcool; 09-01-22 at 03:33. |
