Re: Interesting Fact I Never Knew
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Not to pick a fight with a fellow metal fan or anyhting, but I see no similarities between Alexi's vocals and the black metal-esque vocal style. Emperor, Mayhem, Darkthrone, Burzum, and hell even Dimmu Borgir's vocals sound radically different from Alexi's. And for someone to talk about generalizations of metal, mind you there are many death metal bands who opt not to use the Death Metal grunt. The Crown and Hypocrisy for example.
I hear very little Black Metal Influence even on Something Wild. To me atleast, CoB is Power metal with screamed vocals. And while it may not be "true" death metal, it could very easily fall under the category of Melodic Death.
Imho of course.

I am really sorry because of all this categorizing (ok now i know this word is definitely wrong but at the moment i don't know how it's spelled the right way, hope you get the idea what i want to say [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] ) but i think it should be said. As reference listen to bands like Satyricon and Emperor. You will see that those vocals are quite similiar to Alexi's. It' this high pitched screaming.
And death metal vocals are very deep growling. Listen to Cannibal Corpse or Morbid Angel and you will see that it's really different.
Not every extreme vocal style is automatically death metal [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
