Those are all the bands I know that are completely growl-free, if I recall correctly; we'll see which ones make the cut once I provide links. :P

Well, there's the links. I didn't feel like choosing, so I just picked the best all of them have to offer (imo); I'll let taj7575 decide what's worth it and what isn't. :P

I like Apocalyptica.

They did a song with Till,the lead singer from Rammstein.

2/5 for being repetitive and cheesy viking metalMcspanky37

I tend to prefer their non-vocal work, with the exception (coincidentally) of their Seemann cover of Rammstein.

I've never heard the original song, so I don't know how similar it is, if at all, but that woman's voice is pure awesomeness. :D

You clearly aren't familiar with Crunkcore, Reggaeton, and Disney Pop. They are all tied for that title.

[QUOTE="Mcspanky37"][QUOTE="UbiquitousAeon"] It's not viking metal, it's melodic death metal with lyrics about vikings. UbiquitousAeon

[QUOTE="UbiquitousAeon"][QUOTE="Mcspanky37"] Same difference bro. Either way, band puts me to sleep with by trying so hard to be catchy and using the verse-chorus-verse structure too often.Mcspanky37

All you do is list bands that everyone's probably listened to a million times. Don't you know of anything different? It's always the same crap with people like you... If you're going to be a music elitist, expand your tastes to something that's actually out of the norm. UbiquitousAeon

[QUOTE="UbiquitousAeon"][QUOTE="Mcspanky37"] Bathory was heavy metal/black metal/trash metal with lyrics about vikings. Prove me wrong.Mcspanky37

I got rid of the bands that aren't nearly as good as Amon Amarth for you. :3

[QUOTE="imaps3fanboy"] lol ok.. whats with the pretentious "lrn2music" thing about? Dystopian-X

What do you recommend my good sir? D:

Alice in Chains, AC/DC, Early Metallica, Judas Priest, Black Sababth, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, RHCP, Pearl Jam Goo Goo Dolls, Megadeth, Queen, Hendrix, Boston, Tool, Muse..

You know, Real Music.

they haven't put out a bad album. :Dchessmaster1989

I agree with this, but I also think they haven't put out anything extrordinary, much like Bolt Thrower.

I suppose you're right about that one, it is pretty fantastic.

And Those Once Loyal was nothing short of extraordinary.

[QUOTE="chessmaster1989"]

[QUOTE="Juggernaut140"] This is a bad list. Very typical bands of someone who regards themselves as connoisseurs of rock and metal. 4/5 for Amon Amarth. 3/5 because all of they refuse to evolve their sound. Also, Arghoslent is the catchiest death metal band around Juggernaut140

Sorry what's that mean? Not sure what you're referring to/trying to say here.

Hmm well I'd agree that some of their later albums are very similar and some of their earlier albums are fairly similar, but there's at least some difference between their early stuff and their later stuff. Besides, once you've got a great thing going why ruin it? :P

With Oden On Our Side, Versus the World, Twilight of the Thunder God, and The Avenger. :|

chessmaster1989

They're all good albums, no doubt about that, but they're nothing special imo. AA doesn't experiment, and the only thing unique about them is Johan's above average voice.

EDIT: If they had more songs like Embrace of the Endless Ocean, they'd cross the line into fantastic territory for me.

What is it with all the metal threads lately? They can stop at any time. The music surely isn't getting any better :P

Thousand Years of Oppression, Live for the Kill, Twilight of the Thunder God, Amon Amarth, Avenger, God His Son and Holy Whore, Cry of the Blackbirds, Under the Northern Star, Predictions of Warfare, ...And Soon the World Will Cease to Be, Tattered Banners and Bloody Flags, and Runes to My Memory are all better IMO. But don't get me wrong, Embrace is a great song.

Why not? Its a style of singing. There isn't ONE RIGHT WAY to make music, there's lots of different ones. :|Juggernaut140

This is why I hate discussing metal on OT. :roll: Just ignore the troll Juggs.Guppy507

I like how as soon as someone dabates an opinion he/she is labeled as a troll. Way to go OT.

God forbid you dislike Extreme forms of Metal, you are hereby labeled as an ignorant troll by the Metal elitists of OT. No hypocrisy there, not at all. ;3

Amon Amarth is fun to listen to at times, but I prefer Amon Tobin.

It's called dissonance, genious. I thought it was all the rage with you music elitists ever since the 20th century? I guess not... :roll:

Anyway, growling takes just as much skill as clean vocals. If you don't believe me, try doing it for more than a couple minutes without proper training and see what it does to your vocal chords. How do you think metal vocalists manage to growl for hours on end at concerts and still be able to speak afterwards? Because they have the skill not to **** their vocal chords up while doing it; it's not just mindless screaming. Same goes for clean singing.

I'm not going to rate them. Good musicians but I hate the vocals.

[QUOTE="black_cat19"]

[QUOTE="Dystopian-X"] Most of these growls don't take near as much talent and skill as some good clean vocals. The same skill level of these metal "vocalists" can be practically found in a farm.

Try growling for 1-2 hours (i.e. a concert). Actually, try growling through just one song. :|
