For the poll I picked who I thought would be the more popular choices, I'm sure we'll get alot of "others" though.
Anyways, this was a hard one for me. Black Metal vocals are probably my favorite type of vocals in all it's different styles...but overall my favorite is probably Nocturno Culto. Absolutely countless vocalists have modeled themselves ater him and for good reason. He's the spokesboy of BM vocals and has a truly chilling sound to his voice. Attila was a close second for me, he has one hell of a creepy voice too. Varg as well. Who's yours??

Written by [user id=8232] on 16.06.2006 at 00:30 I actually enjoyed Shagrath's vocals on For All Tid and Stormblast. Sure, after that he sucks royally, but back then he was about as good as BM vocals can get.

Written by [user id=8232] on 16.06.2006 at 04:00 oh for sure (deathcrush and chimera were just my personal favs), maniac so very underrated, everyone gives attilla all the praise but i think maniacs vocals are far more unique...he sounds like gollum.

@Dream- Yeah back then they were all good but obviously enough the whole band went downhill after that, but Shagrath was indeed good back then. @wurzel-Haha I made a thread on that in the old forum actually, about why the hell people hate Maniac so much. I just don't get it and I probably never will. I'm assuming most people see him as another Nocturno Culto ripoff but he's much more than that. And I'll echo myself and mention Wolf's Lair Abyss, I bet anyone who hates him has never heard that album

Written by [user id=8232] on 16.06.2006 at 05:05 I agree. But, for some strange reason, I can't help but be curious as to how their new album will sound. DCA wasn't very good and I'm interested to see what directiont they will take now.

I really like Dani Filth(ok when Cof were black metal, but now as well) Also Sakis Tolis of Rotting Christ is great vocalist and guitarist. From the list i choose Varg Vikernes

Written by Damnated on 16.06.2006 at 13:16  Probably. I didn't enjoy DCA in any way, sounded like the lost soundtrack to a low-budge LOTR. They've dug themselves a big hole....

Written by Stigmatized on 16.06.2006 at 15:32 Not at all! The soundtrack of LOTR is real good. But I hated it equally. (DCA)

Written by Stigmatized on 16.06.2006 at 15:32 ...to put all their moneys in? varg vikernes gets my vote anyway. i haven't heard another vocalist able to convey that much emotion in their voice without going over the top and ruining it.

Written by Lucas on 16.06.2006 at 16:06 Yeah, I like the soundtrack for LOTR as well. DCA has this sort-of.....I'm not even sure how to put it.....this sort of "Rhapsody-esque" deal to it. It sucked. @Tommy Tee- Yes.

Written by [user id=8232] on 16.06.2006 at 00:30 je, well is my opinion about he shagrath voice, but i think you must start that march just jokin', what you say is true, sometimes is very like an android, and dimmu is one band that is attacked by the TRUE black metal sector, so it doesn't matter, i think Abbath is the best and Quorton

My favorite is not on this list, but favorite Black Metal vocalist without a dought, is Nuclear Holocausto from Beherit, his vocals or the most unique black metal vocals ever, and i think they sound the best, for sure he is my favorite black metal vocalist.

Maybe instead of attila I like maniac but attila... damn i really can't like his vocals

| Lucas Mr. Noise Elite Posts: 13427 |
But then again, Atilla is also widely respected. Respected AND hated. Maybe replace him with Legion, that one is the one with least influence on BM, I think..
