The singer's an acrobat. Imagine a growling Freddy Mercury.

I don't mind harsh vocals in general (Randy Blythe is my favorite because of his incredible range), but I don't like the vocals from Unearth. The music is good but I don't like the vocals. I feel the same way about Machine Head's vocalist (I know their not metalcore). In both cases, the singers have the stereotypical metal sound. Some people like this, but I don't. It's more of a strained growl than a scream, and to me it sounds like they are pooping while singing. It becomes very monotonous to me. Personally, vocals are what I pay attention to the most in the metal I listen to, which is reflected in the bands I listen to. The last three bands I listened to were Opeth, Slipknot, and In Flames, all of which who have singers with incredible talent.
