I wonder, how do people generally feel about the vocals that are typical for this genre (growling and screaming)?
I have a positive attitude towards screaming (especially the emo kind), but I don't really like growling. Death metal growls are often spiced up with harmonizers, or the guys just fill the compositions with them without, and I don't like that. I prefer low growls (like in Black Metal) in small doses – that's what I like...
After all, everyone starts somewhere, or did they just suddenly turn on Children Of Bodom?:eek: Are there people for whom metal started with them?
That's definitely not me; I learned about different types of bands on TV, and I also learned about Children Of Bodom through it.
Yes, such a rough vocal style definitely suits death metal music, and is often simply indispensable.
Maybe, but you shouldn't overdo it with the vocals; the music should be the main thing...
I have a positive attitude towards attempts to sing with clean vocals in death metal. For example, the album Projector by Dark Tranquillity. But for some reason, there are fewer such attempts than I would like:(
Yes, if the vocals are good, it's just amazing...
