Based on this, I don't understand why they'd still not listen to metal.

A lot closer to ACDC than Metallica or Iron Maiden, but still very much metal. I'd listen to a full track of this!

ACDC? I'll pretend I didn't hear that. They never called themselves metal, just rock and roll.

Also acdc has basic ass beats and riffs

Apocalyptica, without a single electric guitar, does metal better than most metal bands.

I hate how the production value made it sound great but also sterile. How tf are drums sounding the same on all those records?

Try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDBykpSXsSE , has harsh vocals that are actually understandable, as well as beautiful clean vocals.

This song was honestly the gateway for me appreciating harsh vocals.

I enjoy growls and screams but too much of anything gets old. Symphonic often has one growly male and a clean female on vocals, good balance

3 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I mean that's certainly ONE of the genres. Then there's a ton of other great metal that doesn't do this. Like Gloryhammer if you want /1

clean vocals. Nightwish for solid symphonic metal. 2/2

Musician here. Some of the most intellectual music (as far as music theory) comes from heavy metal.

I didn't like metal because of how much of it sounded like that. But I discovered metal is diverse, and there's some great stuff out there.

If youre listening to metal with those types of vocals( be honest, you aren't) and the music is being "drowned out" (again, no.) then you -

3 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 3

- are probably listening to some terribly mixed independent garage type music.

Eh, I like Fractalize way better than Vildhjarta specifically because it's instrumental, and I wouldn't describe the latter that way

For me its not so much "drowned out" as much as it's very existence spoils the music entirely regardless of the mix

Metallica's early stuff is Thrash metal, their 90s and after stuff is the contentious stuff. DT fan? Check out Ocean, Cynic, CaligulasHorse.
