When I first started listening to metal all those years ago I couldn't stand any of the vocals. It seemed like they were all either just screaming, or singing so high i couldnt even deal with it. As my tastes have adjusted and changed over the years, I have been able to really get into all the different vocal styles that are present in metal. Of all the vocalists that exist today, I would have to say that Speed is one of my favorites. He definately owns in the death metal style vocal department. He is actually the only one that I enjoy listening to. Especially on fragments. I mean, it's just so incredible the way he uses his own superior style and how well he has honed it from record to record. Everyone knows I am in Pyramaze, which is very different in style from Disarmonia, just to provide an example of the contrast and various genres of metal that I love and play. I think the keyboard stuff on this album is really amazing too. It's like trancy stuff (some definately seems programed) yet it is so powerful and adds so much to the music. Well I'm just rambling on now, I just wanted to say that speed owns. -jonah

Speed is great for melo-death vocals, as is Stanne, Akerfeldt etc.
But for actually death metal vocalists, Matthew Chalk(Psycroptic) has the art mastered. Of course normal death metal has no clean vocals which limits the variety of them and IMO that is one of the reasons why melo-death is superior in some ways, there is so much more "allowed" and it can be clearly seen when a band like DM takes those ideas vocally and runs with them.

I think Speed is a perfect singer for melodeath. He's not doing his best on DM album, but Follow the Hollow by Soilwork is the best example of his skills. He can sing and growl high and low. The chorus (Take a look take a ride!!) is my favourite.

Strid might be a good singer (he is), but his lyrics really suck compared to Stanne & Akerfeldt, oh yes..

*isnt sure if this is sarcastic or not*
Considering Akefeldt growls more than Speed by a long shot calling him a pussy based on his vocals is idiotic. And both Stanne and Akerfeldt have superior lyrics to Strid.

stane and akerfeldt are great too, but its like comparing apples and oranges. i just happen to think speed is the best. i never really worried about the lyrics though (since its hard to understand what they are saying anyways). i just like the way he sounds, and how it adds so much agression to the music. -j

Isnīt it all about the content...? So both Gaypeth and Dumb"Sissy" Tranquillity doesnīt have any content... because there is nothing in there... only a bunch of dopamin which only reflects their childish emotions :lol: :finger:

What I really love about Speed's vocals as well as just the band in general is that they are a little more on the growls in this band. Speed also doesnt control all the Clean vocals there is a lot of backing. I dunno I just love the formula they are using more than Soilwork's. Oh yeah.. Speed rules live!

Yes, Jonas vocals and lyrics are great, but what really is important about it, is that they are in absolute contradiction to the lyrics of the gay-metallers Stanne and Akerfledt.
Just take a closer look at the "Ghost Of The Sun"-lyrics from Viva Emptiness. Mikael Akerfeldt is the ghost of the sun... you know. MAN !!!
There is a "Mirror Behind" !!! :)
I recommend the new "Construcdead" !!!

Dude, Renkse has an amazing voice when it comes to clean vox, but in comparison to Akerfeldt and Stanne his lyrics are at a level of a 3 years old! The way they write is amazing, especially Stanne. Just take a look at the lyrics on Projector...

Yes thatīs true. His vocals on Fragments Of D-Generation were the best ever, I expect killer vocals on the next Soilwork output...

ATD is right. There's no need to be disrespectful here, and quite frankly, it won't be put up with. If you have the insatiable lust to act like an ass, don't do it here. We run a quality and respectful forum, and if you continue, you'll get a one-way ticket out of here.
Boy, you just AREN'T endeering yourself to this community, are you?

Christian from UNMOORED is also amazing . His death screams sound like a mix of Hypocrisy and Opeth and his cleans are comparable to Dan Swano. It's amazing
