Metal Gospel Part 4: Screaming vs. Growling

[imReVvV]

this guys a dumbass

[saberman41]

well a scream is a growl just raised in a way higher pitch and uses more air, you basicaly have to know how to growl to know how to scream so i dont see how growling could possibly take more skill then a scream

[rejectminority]

Growling can summon satan, screaming can cause an emo kid to throw a temper tantrum... 'Which one is more METAL???' You're fucking serious??? C'mon!!! I lol'd man XD Hate me but as a guy who grew up listening to punk rock, I'd prefer out-of-tune vocals and songs played by mediocre bands... People without talent playing music! My friend tried to 'convert' me into metal, I just can't... No disrespect at all to metal :)

[Wereferret]

@notyz123 Yes it does.

[ThotdFan127]

not all screaming sucks. Old school metal screams are good and so are melodic death ones like the Black Dahlia Murder ones.

[Wereferret]

@ThotdFan127 BDM suck dick.

[ThotdFan127]

@Wereferret Because you don't like them? Yea that makes sense

[MarcusFenixtheMan]

@Wereferret i agree with every single one of your videos, but there is no way you can make an argument that bdm sucks, their show is awesome, their music is technical, and their solos kick ass

[Jordofthejungle1]

dunno wat the fuck ur on tivium growel as well as scream u wanker

[Wereferret]

@Jordofthejungle1 Trivium are whiny emo bitches. Deal with it.

[strydefire41]

Your dick is 90 feet because you're a fucking whale. i doubt you can see below all your fat.

[skullz1312]

I do agree with everything you say in here about growling being more metal, but do you think layering is good as well? You know, where you have both growling and screaming layering on top of each other?

[briggsismetal]

children of bodom, lamb of god, all that remains, killswitch engage, norther, devildriver, at the gates- they all scream and are fucking awesome bands. some of those guys are waaaay better singers(not screaming) than growlers. that takes talent. just cuz a band screams, doesnt make them a shitty band

[Ferbreezio]

This video brings me tears of joy. Finally, someone that agrees with me. :D

[irishkiddo]

1:10 \m/

[CantonezSpere]

craig owens look like he's about to swallow a monster cock

[zzeppelinn1968]

your video and your pompous actions have literally caused me to devote the rest of my life to finding u, making your eat ur "90 foot" dick and put i nice peace of hot lead in ur knee cap and then perhaps a cleaver to ur face.

ps: ur socalled metal interests are all the over-the-top bands that fucking 6th grade outcast who get sodomised everyday listen to, due to the fact that u truly have no spine so u need to hide behind the most unapealling music possible to ward people off, go die in a hole

[koolkid2595]

You are some ignorant little fucker dude.

[ZakkeryDiaz]

You don't know what you're talking about. You're still in high school, if that, and have not experienced your local music scene yet. Get into bars and listen to the local bands. If you're a musician get a studio and play with the other bands in surrounding studios. You will find you will come to like other kinds of music instead of just doom and gloom. Sure, i like all that but i also like slipknot, trivium, all the way up to April Wine. I'm only 18 years old but am experiencing the music scene.

[cmc47834]

whats the song called

[Wereferret]

The Formation of Damnation

[cmc47834]

thanks

[Emz092]

In this video, I actully agree with your, the only thing I dont agree with is that you say its "Shitknot" but i wont start that with you. Corpsegrinder is fucking amazing, he sounds like a fucking demon as he growls!

[MountAthos]

It's all gong show material

[jlyno09]

this is the dumbest shit ive ever heard

[Wereferret]

No it isn't.

[TonyX311]

So by your standards Judas Priest and Iron Maiden and Megadeth are not metal... Also the screams and growling have nothing to do with metalcore. Metalcore is a fusion of metal and post-hardcore sound and has much more to do with the breakdowns and the guitar and drum styling, not the fucking vocals. Lrn 2 wikipedia. Fucking idiots I'm sick of this bullshit.

[Wereferret]

No, retard, there is a difference between metalcore screams and classic Priest/Maiden. Metalcore screams are closer to hardcore style shouts than anything.

lrn2metal noob

[TonyX311]

A distinction without a difference.

Also, Lamb of God growls. They are metalcore. lrn2 suck my dick faggot.

[Wereferret]

Are you fucking retarded? I fail to see how fags like (earlier) Matt Heafy sound anything like Bruce Dickinson.

No they don't. Randy Blythe screams like a bitch.

Damn you're dumb.

[TonyX311]

You're just straight up wrong about that. At least I don't spend my time obsessing over a genre of music I don't care about. Fucking loser.

[Wereferret]

He screams like a bitch. I'm right, you're wrong, deal with it, kid.

[TonyX311]

I'm pretty sure you've been right about very little your entire life. Which explains why you're so bitter and such a hater. Enjoy living in your parent's basement and jerking off to hentai for the next 20 years...

[Wereferret]

I love you.

[DENO393]

good video.lol.satan :D

[H2Zman]

Agreed 100000000%! And judging by sound, the song playing was by testament, correct? I only have one of their albums that I got earlier this summer, and I already want their whole discography. Problem is I can't get my hands on any good metal.

[Wereferret]

Yeah, it's the title track off the new album.

[yanitubo]

Christian metal begun from protestants, and they are predominant, i don't know if there`s Catholic groups, but, Christians and Catholics are not the same, Christians worship Jesus, and Catholics worship Jesus and Mary, so i think theres a confusion putting the Pope´s portrait in this movie :)

[Wereferret]

Catholicism is considered a denomination/branch of Christianity.

[evalroach]

in my opinion, i respect both....they both take a lot out of you, and both can make you black out, i say fuck it, i do both (minus the emo outfit) and it sounds good, metal is not conforming into a stereo type, its about rocking like fuck to all heavy music, from Amon Armoth to In this moment (new album kinda sucks) and everywhere in between........and anotherthing, metal is fucking metal we need to remove the labeling "its a life style not a cool thing to do for a summer" Rod Zombie

[droote]

constructive critic?

[gene0129]

and also, earlier death metal and modern black metal bands use screaming vocals

[Wereferret]

Not the same kind of screaming. More of a rasp, really.

[gene0129]

screaming can actually permenetly damage your vocal chords though. growling does not :/

[DarkestFreedom01]

GROWL FOREVER! Amen, Gospel!

[MillionDollarMan3]

omg only you´re opinion, screaming is not less true than growling-.-

[Wereferret]

Yes it is. My opinion is better than your's.

[TheMetalGospel]

but his opinion is meek in comparison to that of the Metal Gospel and we agree with Wereferret.

[connrocks]

btw neither screaming or growling should fuck up ur voice look at randy blythe and other guys who do it right they still have their voices

[Wereferret]

There is no doing it "right". There are ways to prolong the damage it does to your voice, but damage is eventually inevitable.

[connrocks]

what about children of bodom or in flames or even threat signal... the singer does kick ass highs

[Wereferret]

Children of Bodom and In Flames have some pretty weak growls. I'm not a fan of either of their voices.

[l337ivi4573r]

Glorious.

[MehFishCakez]

what do you think of Satyr from satyricon, the old vocalist of Ensiferum(don't remember his name..) and Abbath from Immortal?

they are all in the midzone, but i think they are great!

[MLoer]

lol, what a fuckin idiot.

[axaneel]

your a fucking idiot

[Solidus35]

Tell me then, oh master of all that is metal, where does cof fall in this debate, as they do what i would understand to be both screaming and growling.

[Wereferret]

Despite not being black metal, Cradle of Filth have similar vocal styles to a lot of black metal. They aren't very well-respected among the metal community, regardless.

[axaneel]

and besides, he is not the master of all that is metal, he is the gospel, he is legion, and we are everywhere

[DerekKiller]

what song was that playing \m/

[Wereferret]

The Formation of Damnation - Testament

The title track off their new album. Some good shit.

[ifeedoffpain222]

Preach it brotha!

[leenaxa]

i wasnt there and i still did more than luke?

and by the way, its a masterpiece

[Wereferret]

Different James, man.

Probably still did more work than Luke, though.

[axaneel]

Oh hahaha

sorry, still respond to that name
