Brutal Death vocals are constantly low and lack the energy I dig in Extreme vocals, it lacks that tensity I love. They also sound disgusting in a way I'm not a fan of, I'd rather have a Crusty type of dirtiness.
That's what Obituary is for.

See, that's an awesome vocal style, but let me show you the kind of Death Metal vocals I hate:

I'm pretty sure his vocals were deteriorating by that point. Listen to their next album when they told him he had to actually enunciate and you could hear just how ****ed his voice was. And now he sounds even worse in Six Feet Under.

He sounded much better on the debut though.

I think Agalloch was the band that got me past the threshold of harsher vocals in metal. I think they are a decent "entry level" band for that. They don't really have a super harsh or gritty sound to them.

Now I'm the opposite; I generally don't listen to metal with clean vocals anymore.

Listening to metal with only cleans these days often just leaves me wanting more :'(.

Agalloch are an exception, they do clean vocals very tastefully and it fits the flow of their music quite well.

I really wish Torche their vocals were more aggressive, it'd be amazing.

Clean vocals in extreme metal mostly sound like some faggy alternative rock bull****. Screw that. Even dull growling is better than that.

I like Torche 'cause they have a lot of happy extreme metal/punk instrumentals.

Honestly, I don't really listen to growling vocals in metal too much anymore ever since I found out that Katatonia and the like existed. I'm far more interested in that genre of metal than the over the top growling type. But that's just me.
