I prefer screaming over growling, but I really don't mind either, provided they're done well. Depending on the music, sometimes there is simply no better vocal alternative than a good scream or growl.

It's one of those songs that I am willing to find any excuse to post, I play it too often and it's still not boringArkhangelsk said:

Hmmm. I quite like the drums high in the mix. I have no doubts that this recording was made very cheaply(doesn't have to mean badly).maninahat said:
I'm a metal head so I like both. I don't limit myself musically. I used to be a nazi when it came to rap and country but I give then a chance now. I just hate when it sounds like ABSOLUTE shit. like:
Though I do like Napalm Death. ALSO shitty growling can be hilarious such as:
Sorry that just sounds hilarious, it's like a demon taking a shit at a carnival.

What kind of atmosphere are we talking about here? Because I can't find any in that music. Except anger, probably fake anger at that.Furburt said:

In Flames, John 5 and Steve Vai...good choices indeed. I admit to not knowing Engel before now, although that was rather good tooArkhangelsk said:
In most cases I think random screaming and shouting takes away from the music as a while, and it just feels completely out of place in most cases. That and I just personally find it a bit abrasive. It also really disappoints me when a band randomly starts to throw in screaming in new music when they never had it before.
I'm a subscriber to this kind of philosophy--
Example: Rody Walker. He blends his screams into the music with his super amazing clean vocals, and I couldn't like his style more. Conversely, let's take, say, Brokencyde. Their screams are crowbar'd in at best.
If they can actually scream or growl with the best, then by all means, go ahead. But if the singer's vocal talent only amounts to a whiny "GAHH" or coughy Cookie Monster growl, then I could not be a fan.Housebroken Lunatic said:

I like some screaming and growling, but only if it's accompanied by singing. I can't stand songs where all they do is scream and growl.
I'm typically not a fan of screaming, but when they're is a mix between singing and screaming that works well then I really enjoy it. Take Dillinger Escape Plan. They have good mostly scremy songs.
And they have good mostly singing songs.
I usually don't listen to music with a lot of screaming or growling in it though and can appreciated talented singing a lot more than growling into a microphone.
Love it when it's done well.
Some bands that come to mind are August Burns Red, Parkway Drive, Bring Me The Horizon, The Red Shore.
That sort of thing.
