1. Black metal vocals. Are. Complete. ****.
I can stand industrial metal vocals, I can stand Tom Arayan screaming like a scalded dog, I can (now) stand Rob Halford's operatic vocal delivery, and I can stand (really love) Pantera's vocals, but I cannot get past the vocals on black metal.
Ugh. I had to say that.
2. groove metal/thrash metal/industrial metal/NWOBHM > metalcore > doom metal/death metal (at least death metal has an experimental side to it) > black metal.
