Metal Reviews

I guess this is a Poll..

I personally think that Matthew "Chalky" Chalk's performance on Psycroptic's "The Scepter Of The Ancients" is the sickest, most interesting and down-right brutal display of glutteral acrobatics ever!

What do you guys think?

Lord Worm on None So Vile

!T.O.O.H! - Order and Punishment (if that even counts as death metal vocals)

if not, then Dismember - Indecent & Obscene

SKINFAAATHERRRRRRRRRRR. just that extra bit of dynamics that his vocals on Like An Everflowing Stream didn't have, while still having the psychotic aggression that their later albums don't have.

Peter Tagtgren in Bloodbath - nightmares. It was simply the best. Glen Benton in Vital Remains - dechristianize comes in a close second.

Jörgen Sandström - Grave/Project Hate - This man has some sick fucking vocals. Crisp clear and downright brutal.
Dan Swanö - Edge of Sanity(Crimson in particular) - Best album ever, naturally has some of the best growls ever. (Mikael Åkerfelts growl contribution on this one is quite sick too)
Glen Benton - Dechristianize - Not quite as clear as I like it, but still damn good.
Jason Mendonça - Akercocke - Words that go unspoken, Deeds that go undone
Peter Tägtgren/Mikael Åkerfelt - Bloodbath

.:crast:.

Yes, and agreed with everything so far, but my personal favourite is from a little-known English band called Corpsing, "Watching The Thinker".

Still, it's amazing how growly Akerfelt can be when he wants. That new Bloodbath EP is to the

Quoted for truth, Ruth.

Nobody beats John Tardy's gut-wrenching, hair-raising style so wonderfully portrayed on Cause of Death!

Jari Mäenpää - Wintersun, ex-Ensiferum
Dano Swano - Edge of Sanity

Luke Lemay's vocals on Gorguts' Obscura are something to behold, maybe my favourite DM vocal performance. Also Mikael Akerfeldt has got better over the years and has become a favourite, plus John Tardy.

I CONCUR.

There are only two contenders:

Glen Benton on the Deicide s/t

John Tardy on Obituary-Slowly we Rot

Although tbh it's the Deicide, best display of how dm vocals where supposed to sound, period.

Oh yes indeedy, the vocals on Obscura are some of the most intense, dreary, unique and captivating growls I've heard.
Åkerfeldt is the pwnage too.

But also:

Oh yesss!! Luc Lemay!

I want to say Jason Mendonca but his clean vocals could be making me bias.

Oh and Lord Worm

Julien Truchan from Benighted on Identisick and Icon.

Now that i think about it, the most massive vocals

Azarath-Diabolic Impious Evil

HUGE

Two more:

Dave Cunt, or VITRIOL or whatever his name is, on any random Anaal Nathrakh album. Quite amazing how he goes from screams to gurgles to deep growls.

And a controversial one: Devin Townsend on "Oh My Fucking God". Mind-blowingly fast, varied and with some sick, sick yowling.

That part where he spits out that long string of lyrics amuses me to no end.
