The gloves are officially off now.

37. I seldom like "growler" vocals, myself.

Almost never in metal,* and because of that, almost all the metal I listen to is either power metal (in which melodic vocals are the norm), symphonic metal (ditto), or old school stuff. Gruff vocals have taken over the rest of metal, to my considerable annoyance. I enjoy Galmet, but more for their instrumental stuff than for the vocals. I do raise an eyebrow when that sort of voice comes out of a petite woman like Miki or Angela Gossow, who used to be in ArchEnemy. It's kind of like hearing a seriously shreddy guitar solo from someone like Mitsuru from Bridear (who you'd swear was about twelve, although she's actually in her mid-20's): unexpected.


*it works for me in some of the harsher forms of industrial...it just kind of fits in with, say, aggrotech and harsh electro bands like S.A.M. or Hocico
