Some fucking guy either death growls something moronic over it or sings in a nasal whiny beaten down emo voice. The music lover in me just dies a little bit each time. It's become my greatest fear.
Why is this allowed to happen? I don't understand. I dig heavy playing. I can enjoy a rough vocal or tuneful shouting. I'm not looking for Curtis Mayfield (although it would be interesting over a heavy riff). How can so many bands fuck up a vocal melody? Or even forget to add a melody to the vocal? Theres a path these bands should take. It's called instrumental
I figured we could make a thread for heavyish/alternative/riffy/guitarish music with good vocals. Any genre - just music that does a song justice by adding something vocally.That would make me happy.
Examples off the top of my head -

Just a couple, there's a lot of great music around here with actual singing. I hear you on that, it's a quick turn off for me when the singer cookie monsters it up.

Stumbled across live Ben Folds Five this week. I know it's an unusual addition for ILF but the bass player Robert Sledge uses dirt and muff sounds as well as anyone I have ever heard and they are killer vocally -

Re: So a song starts..the riff/sounds are amazing..and then.
DarkAxel - Yeah man. I love the blend of vocals they used. I only got into them quite recently. For some reason I thought they were more Emo or screamy and had avoided them for years. My loss!
AxAxSxS - I had no idea Ancient Warlocks sounded that great! Thanks man. I'll check out more of their stuff.

That is awesome! That guy has a huge voice. ETiD seem to have been more groove and riff based back then? I've heard new stuff and honestly thought they were a different band!

Yeah the earlier albums are more raw... the later ones get nasty as well but have some great melodies as well

Keith was definitely the first guy I thought of. His vocals have evolved so well with the bands sound over the years.

Jason Butler of letlive. is of the same school.
