For those of you who listen to genres of music that include some/all screaming vocals.

What band would you say has the best.

I usually judge screaming by if i could do it myself.

With that said, in my opinion Greeley Esates had the best screaming.

I'm not generally a fan of screaming, but Christopher Hall (formerly of Stabbing Westward) managed to pull off screaming with a bit of a melodic edge. He did it less and less with each new album, though, which was interesting.

A Christian metal band called 3rd Root. I heard some stuff many years ago (at least 7 or 8 years) and was impressed with the amount of passion that went into the vocals, comparable to Stabbing Westward's vocals. I believe the lead singer tore his vocal cords while singing but that could be a myth.

can someone please explain to me how screaming in music is at all entertaining, soothing, or enjoyable? I mean, how can something so depressing and disturbing be enjoyable? I'm not trying to flame or anything, I'm just curious.

I'm guessing you mean mainly higher pitched screaming so lower grunts are not an option then.

Well here's my list:

-Jari Maenpaa (Wintersun)

-Masha (Arkona)

-Thomas Väänänen (Thyrfing)

-Chrigel Glanzmann (Eluveitie)

-Vratyas Vakyas (Falkenbach)

-That guy from Equilibrium

Screaming in music isn't really meant to be soothing...I can't come up for the word for it right now.

But, to generally answer your question, people have different tastes than you.

It all comes down to personal opinion.

I think, when implemented properly, it provides very engaging and passionate energy.

No one would consider it 'soothing'. But entertaining and enjoyable are relative terms that can be measured individually based on opinion. See how that works?

One of the most emotion-driven performances of screaming I've ever heard is by the singer Pest on the cd "Under the Sign of Hell" by the band Gorgoroth. Particularly listen to the songs Krig and Funeral Procession.

I agree with Parkway Drive. It think they have some of the most understandable screaming.

Once you listen to it for a while you get used to screams/growls and find it more listenable.

Although I do know a girl who listens to death metal and finds it to be relaxing and soothing to listen to.

Now I'm a huge conscience rap fan. But I can listen to scream, hardcore, death metal and etc. Because I bands, its something different to listen to and I love their lyrics in their songs. I'll put it like this a long as the lyrics are good and I can understand it I will listen to it.

Alexisonfire, by far the best screaming vocals I've heard. Combined with Dallas Green's calm vocals, it makes such a great band. Probably one of their best songs.

Lead singer of Deftones has the best scream I've ever heard. It manages to avoid being a 'betch' scream.

It doesn't hurt that he's an amazing traditional vocalist too.

I would have to say for tone and alternation between the high and low, it would be a good guess to say Trevor Strnadt of The Black Dahlia Murder. For Pigsqueals would be Johnny Davy of Job for a Cowboy (Doom album was the only one he did it on) Cannibal Corpse's George Fisher also can be placed in the same spot as Trevor because George has a way of holding a loooooonng scream, and his high ones can be very blood curtling.

Let's take "No-one" for instance. During the chorus, she's just bloody shouting!

I'm voting Paul Ryan of Origin, he does all the highs. The singer from Putrid Pile, insanely high. Satania from Demonic Christ, easily better than most male Black Metal singers. Drew, ex Conducting From The Grave, his highs were awesome. Sean, ex With Passion, has a very unique sounding high which sounds much better than when Fidel took over as the singer.

"No one" wasn't a good song other than that she is a good singer. One of the few new school R&B artist that can really sing.

I guess so. Alot of "-core" bands come out of New England and I live in CT, so I guess I'll always have a soft spot for metalcore.
