Now my sentence will be strange and funny too but... somehow this throat singing helped me to accept growl singing in metal. I hated it some years ago.
Now both types of singing are really interesting for me and still almost impossible to understand how the sound is created.
Yeah, I see what you mean there. I listen to hardly any metal myself, but throat-singing's a good way to begin to appreciate it. Very weird style as you say - it's like they pull off two or three different notes at the same time. The way to do it is to kinda use the front side of the very depths of your throat as you sing; keep your voice kinda bubbling under your mouth at all times (if that makes any sense). It's bloody hard to pull it off convincingly though.
