Pig squeals are the stupidest form of vocal delivery in death metal

[Inarticulate_Underachiever]

I'll be listening to a song and get really into it then the vocalist breaks out the pig squeals and I get turned off straight away.

Seriously, what is this crap? You don't sound more brutal, you just sound retarded. Cut it out and go back to death grunts.

I think death grunts sound stupid too.

I think death grunts sound stupid too.

Death Metal seems like the wrong genre to expect anything less than an abundance of stupidity from.

These.

I once saw a video of Mastodon live. It was that very thing about the death grunts that put me off them.

Pig squeals? Like, actually imitating a pig?

That's it exactly. Want an example, go to 51 seconds in.

My limits in terms of growly vocals for metal goes about as far as Rammstein- any deeper and it starts to sound unpleasant.

You forgot the part where you say, "I don't expect you to change the style of music to fit my opinions." Or... wait... did you want me to stop listening to Waking the Cadaver because you don't like it?

Yes, literally imitating a pig.

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

Wow. I love Heavy Metal and all, but this shit just sounds retarded.

Death Metal seems like the wrong genre to expect anything less than an abundance of stupidity and sexual frustration from.

So this is an abundance of stupidity?

How about this?

These are both well written pieces of music. There's a lot more to death metal than you think.

 

[Jhaotic]

Another reason not to listen to death metal.

 

[sirdanrhodes]

I LOVE how single minded everyone is and how they LOATH metal(!). I hate these rant threads, and they are getting more and more common.

 

[Lukeydoodly]

I have heard squeals done well once. And that was one word squealed, not the entire damn song.


From what I have heard it's mainly in the scene kid deathcore bands who still think brutality is better than melody.

Edit: I love Arsis.

 

[McNinja]

I do not partake in the liking of the "pig squeals." But I do like metal. Just because a few bands do something unpleasant doesn't mean the entire genre does it. And it certainly is not a good reason to not listen to metal.

scene kid deathcore bands

Find me proof that this exists. Please.

I don't think you know what "scene" is.

"Scene" is to "emo" as "gangsta" is to "rap".

But, please, show me an example of a "scene kid deathcore band". I would love to see myself proven wrong.

 

[Ruzzian Roulette]

Wow. I love Heavy Metal and all, but this shit just sounds retarded.

A thousand times this.

As i've said before.


Rap and Death Metal are for people who want to be musicians, but realize they have absolutely no talent.

Sorry but screaming and/or talking isn't music.
