Whats your take on "screaming" music?

[QUOTE="AussieePet"]

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

chilly-chill

Well its true

Just like all music, there is a lot of good and a lot of bad artists who use distorted vocals. I quite enjoy a lot of it though. Even things as strange as this.

LOLZ! You should hear some of my favorite music. You might start getting the holy water and the crucifix ready to throw at your computer screen. LOLZ! (BTW screaming music is not Devil music and I don't listen to Devil stuff since I don't like it. But there are bands out there that do sing about that stuff, but I hate that stuff).

Ohhh, ok. Now I get it now.

Well its true

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.

You gotta find the right heavy metal band to be honest. Yea some bands "screams" are fricken terrible and 0 harmony like you said but good metal bands such as lamb of god or all that remains (even though they're more metalcore) have really good screaming or harsh vocals.atony12

A lot of metal does. Symphonic metal, progressive metal, Folk metal, melodic metal etc.. And that's why I love metal. ;)

[QUOTE="Fightingfan"] Really? Well that sounds devil worshiping to me.

I don't think there is a such thing as "devil music". Sure there are bands that talk about some nasty stuff and have horror like artwork on their albums but I haven't heard of a band that just worshipped the "devil". And on the topic of mainstream music, I actively hate that music. It's uncreative, boring, simple, and only for the image of the singers rather than the music itself. That's just my opinion though.

My personal opinion most vocals ruin songs, I enjoy my highs and dislike(prefer highs) my bass/lows. I just like music where I can identify multiple sounds, instruments etc..Fightingfan

Try listening to this (It's metal BTW)

Wow well i learned something today, but i wasn't saying they couldn't sing tho, or had talent cause all of them do obvs but if your into screamo music then thats awesome , but all screamo music sounds the same to me.

And let me make something clear as well. I don't classify metal with "screaming" to be "screamo". Screamo I believe is a another genre. At least I think.

[QUOTE="AussieePet"]

[QUOTE="chilly-chill"] You know nothing about music at all if you stand by what you say. Back on topic: My screamo has to have clean vocals to balance it out ex Vannachilly-chill

Well its true

It's all the same they scream in a devilish voice, play instramentals, then they hit there high notes and start singing .

HAHA! So you you like Nightwish. My personal favorite band on the planet. I tend to think of their music as a feast for the ears, almost like a great piece of art is a feast for the eyes.

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 :PFightingfan

this notion that extreme metal bands as a whole are more complex than most other genres is elitist nonsense. they are generally busier, but that doesnt mean they are more intellectual or complex. i like certain bands from the genre for their immediacy and willingness to explore the grotesque musically, but there are relatively complex metal songs just like there are examples of relatively complex music in lots of other genres.

LOL YUP. They just bring a bunch of hidden expensive tech and have behind stage handlers change their voices on the fly whenever they do live shows.

What screamo bands are popular??

Attack Attack, Asking Alexandra , Bring Me The HorIzon, and BVB aka Black Viels Brides ( The all got at least one good song)

AussieePet

i just recently attempted to listen to asking alexandria or wtf and wanted to put a bullet in my head,but i like a few bands that do scream and do it good

Theres always excpetions to the rule but for the most part I feel my ears are getting crapped on whilst listening to it.

This thread has told me to do two things: Start listening to Amon Amarth, and start listening to Nightwish.

Is the "Imaginaerum" album more... carnival-y-styIe? I like straight-up symphonic music, but that would be an addition over that.
I like the ..quirky? sound to some Diablo Swing Orchestra songs, and got "There Be Squabbles Ahead" by Stolen Babies CD around Christmas time (but haven't listened through it yet!). The latter might not be completely metal.

Some of my favorite bands are ones that scream or growl and don't sound all that similar.

I like "screaming" or "death growls" if its done right like with Opeth.

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.

This was written and performed by a Death Metal band. You are wrong, my friend

And I don't hate them. It's just that Blackwater Park is the only CD I can tolerate of Opeth for more than 15 mins or so at a time before getting bored, and that's only because that CD has the most memorable songs they've ever wrote IMO.

Screamo is the aborted baby of metal.

I love Metal, its all about melding all that sound into one and being totally in synch with each other and still sounding great. People may call it the devils music but to me Rap and Hip hop do way more damage to the world than Metal. There is a lot of talent in a metal band, listening to the musicians that can pull it off is a mind blowing experience.

I really dont like it at all.
