he really doesnt do his vocals loud,
he just gets the tone he wants doing at a moderate volume

This may sound stupid but, I can recreate Mikael's growls in a whisper, but i can't get it any louder...and i feel if i try and go louder using this technique i will just tear my vocal chords up. does anyone have any advice?

..ps....Mikael's vocals are also my favorate...

Yeah it shouldnt feel as if your going to rip up your vocal chords id say atleast be able to do it at a normal talking voice. if not a little bit louder. and start slowly and build up, no use ruining your voice!

yeh, im not sure how to get the same sound at a talking level...unless i have a really phlem filled throat...in which case its really easy...i geuss i could always resort to drinking snot but....no...

he growls better in ghost reveries IMO.

Don't try, you aren't getting anywhere. Everybody can do that.

Anyway, Still Life has the best growls, namely Serenity Painted Death. Damnation has the best clean vocals, especially on Death Whispered a Lullaby.

House of Wealth has some great clean vocals too.
