Members thetrooper9 Posted October 23, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 23, 2008 or can someone tell me what most death metal singers use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jersey Jack Posted October 23, 2008 Members Share Posted October 23, 2008 I would think that the good old Shure SM58 would be just the thing. We're not exactly talking about hi-fidelity here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members piersonm Posted October 23, 2008 Members Share Posted October 23, 2008 SM58 live. For studio use, doesn't really matter as long as you keep them 3' from the mic and have 7 spit guards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 The Shure SM7 can take the loud dbs that grunts, growls, screams, gutturals etc. can deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NITROHOLIC Posted October 24, 2008 Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 you should be able to scream loud enough you dont need a mic or PA. . . . . in all seriousness ive used a shure SM58 for a while now. . . that thing rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members keithtoxic Posted October 24, 2008 Members Share Posted October 24, 2008 The Shure SM7 can take the loud dbs that grunts, growls, screams, gutturals etc. can deliver. +1 on this. Probably best mic for screaming vocals. The band attack attack used this on their new record being put out by Rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zacman0126 Posted October 28, 2008 Members Share Posted October 28, 2008 Back when I needed a mic for death metal, my 'guy' at axe (who knows me and my style inside out) said the EV 967 is what i'm looking for. I have it for studio purposes, not sure how road-worthy it is but it's great for studio's, sounds absolutley amazing for my screams. something to consider...

Members DeadNight Warrior Posted October 28, 2008 Members Share Posted October 28, 2008 I've heard the SM7 is great for this too, but I've not got my hands on one to try out yet. Personally I've had good results with a 57 and pop filter (through a decent pre), although these days I usually just use a cheapo Studio Projects B1. Lately I've been recording the same vocalist though (black metal projects actually), and his voice just doesn't really go well with the 57. It just accentuates frequencies in his voice that I find irritating enough just being in the same room as him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members theroan Posted November 19, 2008 Members Share Posted November 19, 2008 The SM-7 is THE mic for screamed vocal, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Andrew JD Posted November 20, 2008 Members Share Posted November 20, 2008 Live - 58 is hard to beatStudio - SM7 I'd say a good compressor is equally as important. Gotta compress the {censored} out of those screams to get them sounding tight, (which is essentially what you're doing when you're cupping the mic.)
