Anders Fridén: Does he death grunt? (albums, microphone, song)

Inuzuka Skysword · 02-20-2007, 07:03 PM

What would you consider his harsh vocals to be? I always have considered them regular screaming, but I personally have no clue. Either way he isn't that good at either so this isn't a debate thread on how good he is.

What does that have to do with anything?

adidasss · 02-20-2007, 08:16 PM

Just asking.

He used to do "death grunts" on Whoracle and The Jester Race, but recently has traded it in for a far more accessible style of screaming. I didn't mind it on Colony and Clayman, but starting with Reroute To Remain it went straight to hell.

Unfortunate because Goliaths Disarm Their Davids is a fantastic song.

Heck yes it is a good song.....BTW The Jester Race, Whoracle, and Colony were their best albums. I exclude Clayman because it recycled Colony's sound.

Listening to The Jester Race album right now though and I hear no grunting and if it is, it is really high pitched.

Then please define what you mean by "death grunt".

When I hear it I think of low growls. Not gutterals, but growls.

I would say their first few albums, he had the death grunt but on later albums, its more of simple harsh vocals than the real death grunt.

He does what I like to call "Crying" into the microphone. Even back in Whoracle his "harsh" vocals sounded akin to a nasally 5 year old screaming into a microphone.

Though if you have to validate it with a technical term its just a really weak scream.
