Here's my post from this thread straight outta the old forums

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??

Poll

Who's your favorite?

Other (who?)

Abbath (Immortal)

Ihsahn (Emperor)

Varg Vikernes (Burzum)

Nocturno Culto (Darkthrone)

Attila Csihar (Mayhem)

Quorthon (Bathory)

Legion (Marduk)

Maniac (ex-Mayhem)

Dimmu Borgir great band: Great voice, guitar, bass and drumm! 24 Sep in 013 live yeah!! Shagrath is really good but judging by the choices, i think were talking 1st/2nd wave BM or "tr00" BM as some closed minded people call it, so I'm going to say Quarthon of Bathory as he pretty much created black metal vocals as we know them.

rageing atheist Account deleted	Permalink 05.09.2007 - 16:44 rageing atheist Account deleted I voted for other, as Grutle Kjellson is my favorite BM vocalist. Anyway I agree, with Lichspawn, that Quorthon deserves more credit, as he was the first artist I know, who created these high pitched BM shrieks, and the high pitched vocals of bands like Burzum would't have emerged without his influence.

deathovertime Account deleted	Permalink 09.09.2007 - 23:56 deathovertime Account deleted I voted for Ihsahn. Emperor are my favourite band and I think it's quite fantastic how he can go from screaming in a song to quite melodic singing. Seen them live too, stunning. Loading...

ASiema113 Posts: 322	Permalink 01.10.2007 - 08:26 ASiema113 Posts: 322 I personally feel that Satyr has the most appealing vocals b/c he has done vocals for several bands that have been quite brilliant, even if to me Satyricon has gone down the hole. And if not for Satyr I would have voted for Ishahn, although I'm somewhat suprised not to find Satyr as one of the names on this roster. I guess that's what other's for . ---- Written by [user id=22888] on 18.01.2008 at 09:05 People are always at their very best when they're dead. Loading...

Sunioj Posts: 3894	Permalink 05.10.2007 - 23:52 Sunioj Posts: 3894 Even though Im not a huge fan of Satyricon, Satyr's vocals are pretty damn good. For the last few months Silenius ( abigor, summoning ), Attila, and the vocalist of Nokturnal Mortum have stood out for me. But Ive just appreciated Attila even more recently with Orbo Ad Chao, and plus his voice has many shapes and doesn't blow out his voice all on one track. Loading...
Darth Satanious Post Destroyer Posts: 2157	Permalink 05.10.2007 - 23:53 Darth Satanious Post Destroyer Posts: 2157 I would go for old Shagrath and that rasped voice that gave life to such a haunting performance such as the one at Kraków, Poland. I would die to have that complete performance. Kristoffer Olivius is also worth mentioning. He also has a powerful voice. It's a pity that through his voice can get to pass some really clichéd words. And we also have our Attila with his chants, and Malefic with his desperateness... never mind. Can't pick only one and there is so much diversity out there. ---- Christless Loading...
