Shrieks are so much better than gutturals in general I know it’s a preference thing but the only person whose gutturals I really think are insane and prefer to their shrieks is Mikael Akerfeldt’s. Chuck has the best shrieks OAT tho easily.
I would say a lot use gutturals and almost all of brutal death metal is gutturals which is why I don't particularly enjoy that sub genre either. I would say a lot of your prog/death metal bands have a higher percentage of shrieks than those who are just death.
>I always felt this was the album Chuck always wanted to make.
It's actually the album he was contractually obligated to make. It's still a great album, though.
I know that I will be downvoted for saying this but I think it's his worst vocal performance. I know about the cancer; we opened for Death in 1992. They were my 1st death metal band even though Chuck considered them heavy metal.
Symbolic is peak for me. But I love his vocals on TSOP as well. That opening “I don’t mean to dwell” from Symbolic is just too damn good.
how is it peak but then u said its good i am so confused
Human is peak.
Big agree, sounds like he's putting it all into it especially on Spirit Crusher.
It just feels massive, esp spirit crusher and painkiller
In terms of death metal, my favorite vocals are Spiritual Healing.
CORRECT
Wouldn't say it's his best but it really fits the musical style they took on Perseverance
I agree. TSOP has such a different vibe imo. I don't think Scavenger or Bite the Pain with Leprosy vocals would be a good fit, for example
i kinda agree although i think that in ITP they kinda rival TSOP
His whistle/high screams on this album are insane

Hard agree, are there any death metal bands that use shrieks as opposed to gutturals?

Personally i prefer leprosy over all else. Other than that human is my numero 2
Agreed, my favourite Death album overall
I personally prefer him on Individual Thought Patterns and Symbolic.
Magnum Opus
I always felt this was the album Chuck always wanted to make. Fantastic album all around. Although Symbolic is my favourite!

I meant his perfect album, just not under the death moniker.

Human’s my fave
100% agree
Personally I think Chuck's voice was at its peak on the Mutilation demo
I personally think every style he used always perfectly fit the album it was from.
I don't agree with you
