Ah, and I just checked your myspace...funny how you have to validate that you don't use effects with the heading
"No f*kin effects, hot water only!"
And you're asian. Silly asian, metal is for whites.

My apoligies for posting 3 times in a row...but I think you guys should check this out. http://www.myspace.com/aureliuslie Listen to some of the other songs, you can hear his real voice, and can tell that the effects are laid down ontop of it.

Hahaha, fool! Try to wash your ears.
And thanks, i forgot to post the link on the previous site (where I mentioned myspace)



Nazi?

Ever checked out Necrophagist? Turkish growler. Or what about Arch Enemy? Female growler.
And you call yourself a metalhead. How ridiculous! SKINhead would fit better.

you have no Idea what the fuck youre talking about.
I think this thread will last about another week. Youre a fucking liar, and you cant even admit to yourself that you ARE using effects. Good luck on the forum pussy.
.....I DO HAVE REAL FRIENDS!!! .....

There's one major difference between you and Necrophagist, he doesn't suck ass... (I don't even personally like Arch Enemy, so bringing that up to me means nothing.)

And dude, it's not even so much that you use effects that we're ripping on you for, it's the fact that you're lying and bullshitting us and trying to get us to believe that the human throat can emit static and other sounds that can come from effects. You're stupid. Go fuck yourself and get off this forum.

Even a retard could tell it's heavily filtered.

Your description " Death Metal / Death Metal / Black Metal " is thoroughly incorrect. No death metal whatsoever, despite you emphasizing it, and the only "black metal" I hear is the faggot-ass new breed CoF style "black metal", with your shit ass static placed on top. No wonder you don't have any band members.

Just watched the video. So your technique is cupping + insertion of microphone into mouth + general retardness? If it doesn't work in good bands, then it certainly won't work for you.

Do you even think before you write something?
I guess your mothers already committed suicide for putting idiots like you into the world.

Let me do the thinking for you: What you are saying is: Each growler that sound like Akerfeldt, Nasseri, Sevänen, Stainthorpe, etc. is using effects to create raspy throat sounds.

Is this a hiphop forum? Ever listened to some metal?

What do you think is the reason why I wrote "(Opeth-Style)" in the topic's name? I tell you (your fucked up brains can't think that far, anyway) It's because he stated in an interview that he uses a technique to growl which is fairly low in volume but extremely raspy. If you ever visited school before, you should know that for sounds like "whispering" you don't use your Adam's apple. It's the same like Akerfeldts technique.

Oh hell, why do I even try to talk to you like you were adults?
Let's get back to insulting! You fucked up pieces of shit!

All of you shut the fuck up now.

You're using a really shitty microphone. That is all.

The very definition of growling is to distorte the normal speaking voice.

The only reason I'm not into it is because I like growling better than BM vocals.

dude, you sound NOTHING like Akerfeldt. You sound like you're eating the fucking mic.

Your mother sounds like Akerfeldt.

He's right, there are no effects on the vocals. He's just using a shitty technique and a shitty mic (sounds like a lower-end dynamic mic to me) to record them. The only "effect" per se is distortion caused by the fact that's he's cupping the shit out of the mic, but that's probably the only way he can get that sound.

As for this:

I think you just lost. Big time.

Regardless of anything else, It still sounds awesome, I for one couldn't come close and therefore he gets props from me even considering the static thing. I can't believe though that after years of visiting forums, people still argue over the internet.

In my opinion, your vocals sound excellent and I can definitely hear the similarity to Opeth's vocals but you need to get that static out. It's not that you have too many effects on it, you should either get a better microphone or stop cupping it so much. When you cup the microphone it gives a much more distorted reverb sound then singing into it normally. If you were to watch Opeth play live he does not cup the microphone at all seeing as he is playing guitar and as far as i know he only has two arms. Otherwise, keep up the good work!

I love the sound that cupping gives, expecially for lows, highs.. not so much.

Cupping fucks my mic up to much so I have to hold it like a foot away. But maybe thats cos I have an awesome $10 piece of crap..
