Members bktele989 Posted August 11, 2009 Members Share Posted August 11, 2009 I really don't see the point of using all kinds of techniques and effects to sound like a beast when you're human... Might as well hire a beast to do that... Just leave this thread already, we get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Unstrung Posted August 11, 2009 Members Share Posted August 11, 2009 No more effects than any other vocalist, in the studio. Compression, echo, delay, etc. Maybe some echo or compression live. Nothing significant. There are a few obscure bands that use pitch shifters but death vox is for the most part true organic awesome.

Members thinkpad20 Posted August 11, 2009 Members Share Posted August 11, 2009 King Diamond, who sings black metal Mercyful Fate is very influential in the development of black metal, but I'd be hard-pressed to call it black metal in and of itself. And King Diamond himself has virtually nothing to do with black metal in his vocal style (or the style of his eponymous band), so I think it's kinda irrelevant... But whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Unstrung Posted August 11, 2009 Members Share Posted August 11, 2009 Here's a band who always made a point of letting the listener know they were using no significant effects on their vocals: [YOUTUBE]_WLPvzGgWs0[/YOUTUBE] Fucking awesome.

Members thinkpad20 Posted August 11, 2009 Members Share Posted August 11, 2009 Demilich definitely has a lot of reverb on the vocals though. But yeah, the actual sound itself is from Annti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jlc1587 Posted August 11, 2009 Members Share Posted August 11, 2009 Some of them use gates and all kinds of {censored}. Most of them can't do that every night naturally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah... until the day death metal vocalists are trying to imitate that one guy who naturally creates his own cavernous reverb I'll file reverb under 'non-significant vocal effects'... Significant being pitch shift, layering and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jlc1587 Posted August 11, 2009 Members Share Posted August 11, 2009 Baseless claim is baseless What? there are quite a few guys like this. I don't know about CC though. You honestly think most death metal bands aren't using a vocal effects processor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You honestly think most death metal bands aren't using a vocal effects processor? I was responding to the "most can't do it night after night naturally" comment, which is untrue. That's only true if your technique is {censored}ed in which case you can damage your vocal cords. Just like singing really harsh/loud can hurt you... I actually find my voice is a lot more ragged after I do Metallica-esque vocals than after I do death vocals. Death vocals don't really bother my voice unless I'm going really over the top for extended periods of time. But as to your question here, no I don't think most death metal bands are using a vocal effects processor. Or at least, not for anything more than reverb, delay or compression or whatever... minor stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how many times I've read interviews in guitar world where it was admitted. I know around here most of the local bands do also. As far as the big death metal bands that have been out a while probably not. But some of them, like nile, do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
