I just can't get past the goofy delivery anymore. The 'cookie monster' vocals, the uniform 'chugga-chugga' riffs.... it's just so bombastic and theatrical, it kills me.  |
there's a lot of difference in the "chugga chugga" riffs between one band and the other, and the soloing modes, and the chord progressions/
I dunno, every singer's "cookie monster" vocals sound different to me, Chuck Schuldiner's is totally different from James Tardy's.
Then again, I'm a tr00 kvlt metalhead myself.
Mebbe you should listen to more "hipster" metal like Krallice, Torche, Intronaut, Isis, Baroness.
