Whats your take on "screaming" music?

No this is not a "ALL METAL IS SATANIC!!!" thread...just want to see what you guys think about the music which is actually all screams.

imo I think it sucks, 0 harmony, it makes my ears hurt, cant even make out what the lyrics say...really I dont see why would anyone like this kind of music...but to each his own I guess.

What do you mean by "screaming"?

Can't stand death metal. Do like screaming in moderation.

It depends. "screaming" music can be good but it's only good for me if the melody is awesome and the song structure is amazing. Otherwise I find it kinda lame.

I think it's devil music.Fightingfan

Is this a joke? I hope so.

LOL. Now I know your joking.

^ Yeah, though I do enjoy calling it 'devil music' because to me(only because I don't listen to the genre) sounds like satanic screeches. So when ever I hear kids listening to it I start preach sh*t.

death metal and hardcore and its subgenres. music where the vocalist actually screams in either high or low pitch.lightleggy

Ah. Alright. Wanted to make sure you meant something like high pitched "screams" and low pitched "growls" and not just a few hardcore bands or something.

It depends on the band for me. I like some bands doing it, but not others. Other I don't mind it, but the band doesn't stand out to me. I guess similar to any other musical styIe.

I really like Insomnium's vocals. The growling styIe seems to play into the emotion from their songs and generally doesn't overpower the sound of the instruments.

Well the vocals are Finnish so you can't understand them anyway :). But I love this band. Unless you can understand Finnish :o

Do you know there are screaming metal bands that preach Jesus? It's crazy I know, but totally true. But to me a good song is about good structure and Melody. Vocals are a second for me unless they sound good with the music, like don't sound out of place or forced upon.

[QUOTE="IcyToasters"]

Pretty nice song C:
That would be one that I wouldn't say I love the vocals, but the whole song put together works just fine.

dream431ca

I can't! :p

True for a lot of bands of those genres I 'spose.
I guess I can only speak for the general sound of them.

I find I sometimes have to look up the lyrics to a song to fully get them at full speed, and growling/screaming vocals just make it a bit harder (and sometimes difficult to know if they're speaking English without finding it out!).
Ideally I like the vocals to play into the atmosphere / sound of the song anyway, so lyrics aren't what I'll look into at first listen. Again same for most/a lot of genres.

I'm the same way. Lyrics don't mean to much to me unless they are structured in such a way that they work with song without sounding seperate from the song. I have another song that you can listen to if you wish. Is a folk/Death metal band. Once again from Finland. This time they are singing in an ancient Celtic language. :o

Gives me a headache.

It is something that pushes the boundaries of the human's ability to produce music.foxhound_fox

It fits in metal. I don't care for hardcore bands, however.CRS98

So therefor, Five finger death punch should NOT be screaming :P I totally agree BTW.

I thought Eluveitie was from Switzerland!
I've got all of their albums except their first one. ;D Have to order it some time.

That's a really good example for most people having to mostly go by the sound of the vocals rather than the words themselves.

I wonder how the band learnt Gaulish...

I don't like scream verses, but maybe as an opening or a layering for the chorus then its cool

Ex. In tears dont fall at the start hes like LETS GOOOOOO

[QUOTE="Fightingfan"]I want the SRT8 version of your sig, I want a plum purple charger so bad.. I'm waiting right now, I have enough for one with all the options, but like in the old days, I want my exotic car paint that's on the vin.foxhound_fox

I'll wait a few years and just buy it outright cash(30k-ish) I'm still driving my high school car :P

I need to upgrade, I was looking at a plum purple 2008 Charger, but I don't like the tail lights and I somewhat don't like the idea the charger is a sedan, I also kinda want my 440 Hemi, Maybe in future they'll listen to me.

Oh man! They are from Switzerland! Sorry dude. I totally heard they were from Finland! BTW I love this band as well. Not just amazing music but it's almost art come to life.

really depends on the band. for example: i like behemoth's vocals but dislike cc's.

The first generation Charger, it had basic everyday mom car tail tights. I see how the sedan(4-door) is beneficial for some people(assuming you have kids), but I'm young I need my sporty look :P

I just want to purchase a muscle car with all the options, the paint of my desire so 20+ years from now I can give it to my son, and bam he has 30k for college.

I sold my 1969 Chevelle SS that I built myself, and I ended up getting 35k for it, but I haven't touched that money using it for school. That's why I drive in my ol' little 95 civic :P

I hate screamo, It isn't "real" music , anyone could scream into a mic, i hate how some screamo bands are POPULAR.

I don't mind screaming in a song if it isn't the WHOLE song but rather, a passionate moment in the song or some such.

Thing like death metal though... can't stand it.

[QUOTE="Fightingfan"]

Try screaming and talk at the same time, it's insanly hard. I can do it for a little(like one sentence) then I get like a gag reflex. Try and say this in a screamo voice "I worship the DEVIL".
