RE: Searching For Operatic Transcendence In Heavy Metal Music
If you are looking for a symphonic metal band with a female singer that has a powerful voice, then early Nightwish is your best bet. Check this out.
It's indeed hard to get used to harsh vocals, but it is possible, and there are so many amazing bands people might enjoy if they give them a chance. Stuff like this.
There's a place for harsh vocals, I think. It's just when they're used exclusively that they make something seem, if not difficult to listen to, than just boring.
Thanks for sharing. That Wintesun clip has a ton of energy; I like it. And it looks like that guy can actually sing.
Well I'm glad you like that one. Jari, Wintersun's frontman, is considered to be a modern Mozart. Check out their other two clips from that live rehearsal if you enjoyed this.
I like when there's a mix of clean and harsh vocals so it don't become monotone, just like you said.
