Anyone that likes this may want to check out a few so-called "hipster metal" bands. Baroness, The Sword and Torche in particular. They stray from harsh vocals like most of this song.
@donnishark no no no, a thousand times no. Well, early Torche slays faces, but if someone has already started listening to Yob, why would they want to back-pedal to The Sword!?
Im sad... hearing this as the first song of this band i was amazed and mesmerized, but then, while listening the other songs i became disappointed, that the rest of their songs are just the typical growling stuff...
Nothing against people who like that, but personally:
I thought to have found another rare band like Om or Isis with less tantrum and all this screaming about how painful life and how cool Wicca, Magick and Neo-Paganism is.
@Shitnames Dude, growling is a vocal technique, same as opera. Just because someone isn't singing with clean vocals doesn't mean they have to be whining about their life or throwing a tantrum.
For someone who seems to be into Wicca and Neo-paganism, you seem to be pretty close-minded
@joshbfat Yes, especially when listening to more "spiritual" growling like Electric Wizard.
But it isnt important for me the words themself, but the emotional mindset shown by using such a deep, gutural voice. There are so many things in modern society, that will be called "artistic", but for me it doesnt change the fact of what kind of resonance is expressed in such a vibe.
Very thoughtful and complex, so much more here than meets the eye here really.

I'll have to listen to the other songs in order to confirm, but damn, I'd hate to find out that you're right.

I find Yob, on the whole, has a pretty even mix of growling and singing.
