Man, I dont know, i love their vocals. It depends on the band--sometimes that style sounds cheesy and ridiculous, and sometimes it sounds great. I think VoM's are very much on the better side when it comes to 'cookie monster' style tho. I actually was just thinking the opposite of what you just said yesterday as I was listening to them, that out of all the growlers in that whole 'deathcore' or wtfever genre, that I really like brandon butlers vocals, IMO he's able to pull it off without coming off ridiculous like some others do.
on the facebook page of The Black Dahlia Murder the other day they posted this one video and it was fucking hilarious, the vocals were just soooo low and exaggerated that I couldnt even take it serious anymore. Let me see if I can find it, I think youd get a laugh out of it Ebola...Ahh...here it is:
Syphilic-Cannabilisdick
Check out around 0:45...Straight up mouthfart LOL. See thats the shit that I just cant help but laugh a little so I do understand where youre coming from. Theres a point where shit kind of crosses over from brutal to funny. And I guess that line is in a different spot for everyone. So imagining how the video I just posted sounds to me, I can imagine thats how VoM may sound to you. But then again... maybe compared to Syphilic youll listen to VoM in a new light and be better able to appreciate just how NOT over the top they are :D
Uvbnstacked....I heard 4th arra of dagon off that record not long ago...Shit was too slow for my taste tho.
And man...I still got deathmask divine on repeat. Is it wrong that I find that song to be somewhat sexy? Instead of being repulsed by the idea of digging up and preserving the corpse of your beloved i kinda think its twistedly romantic and weirdly touching. I mean I know Im sick in the head but for some reason I imagine if I was the dead one instead of my fiance, and how if he did that with me I would totally be honored. :D
Anyways, now that Im done saying shit that makes me sound like a necro-whatever-er...Im look fwd to TBDMs new album, it drops june 11. so far theres a couple tracks on youtube. Instead of posting the video for Into the Everblack, the first track, I will share with yall the totally awesome 8-bit nintendo-game-music-style version of it that i found:
fuckin awesome!
