Ugh.
What people call “metal” these days is ridiculous. I’ll be listneing to a song, right. And I’ll be nodding my head to some really fucking good melody and great guitar and such solid drumming. And then the quote-unquote-singing starts. And I just want to punch everyone in the fucking head. Nobody wants to listen to you fracturing your larynx for three minutes, asscunt. It literally resembles the sound of someone shitting all over my dick. Learn to fucking sing and stop ruining every goddamned song you touch.
It actually makes me angry that people ruin such great melody with such shitty “vocals”. You sound like Bigfoot having multiple orgasms.
I’m half and half with you on this. And I’d refrain from using “these days,” screaming in metal started ages ago. In my opinion certain styles of screams ruin a song, for me it’s when you can make out what the actual syllables are, hence the words are lost. Metal should be heavy, and often screams are the only way to match that intensity vocally, though not always. There is metal with just clean vocals and no screams just for people like you. But the vast majority of metal has screams because an enormous amount of people like to listen to guys (or girls) destroy their vocal chords for minutes at a time.
I listen to mostly core music (metalcore - hardcore) and the screaming styles are way different than “metal”. What exactly were you listening to?
