I often personally struggle to grasp the thought process that goes in to someone telling me "I don't like bands that scream" or something similar, when they are talking about more extreme types of heavy metal. I understand it not being a sound that would be pleasant to everyones ear, but is it really just the vocals or is it the music itself that they don't like? If someone listens to music for the overall tone and feeling of a record, and view the vocals as just another instrument used to achieve it, then surely a growled vocal is in keeping with the tone of a death metal record and a more snarled, shrieking vocal in keeping with black. Being able to identify the lyrics when listening becomes largely unimportant. |
