Music is awesome....singing is flatter than a pancake. Although he does hit it decent some of the time. If I were him, I'd growl/scream whenever he feels like "singing". Don't need to be a great singer to be a great metal vocalist...especially in their genre.

That's exactly what's wrong with metal today.

Yes. Why is it okay that the rest of the band can play, but the singer can't sing? Singing is just as important as the band's playing in my opinion.

I think the new Fear Factory lineup could give them a run for their money.

What's wrong with metal today? What about Ultimatum, Vengeance Rising, The Crucified, Sacrament, Mortification, BTA and on and on and on. If you like real "singing" in your metal then cool. But between thrash, death, core genres and black metal....there are many great vocalists that don't or can't "sing" or sing very little. Being a death and thrash fan I've always favored course vocals and less "singing" if at all. Unless I had a Poison or Bon Jovi fix. Rolling Eyes

Greatness is relative to the listener. Me, I'd much rather listen to Bon Jovi and Poison than just about any death metal band.

NONE of those bands are from "today".....except BTA .... and Ultimatum even they play very old school thrash so I'm not sure I'd put them in a "today/current trend in metal band" environment. Also I never said that the singer had to be able to belt it out like the great clean singers we all know, but they have do have to be a GREAT SINGER as in a GREAT VOCALIST who can carry a tune and have a uniqueness to their vocals that most of "today's" metal bands don't seem to have going for them.

That was my point. There have been great metal vocalists that don't sing going back to VR and Mort. I guess I don't consider a growler or screamer to be a "singer" at all. I just call 'em "vocalist". Wink

I'm gonna go ahead and say it's pretty bad. As much as I hate metal like this, I have to agree that in the parts where he's not being course with his voice, he needs to carry his tune a whole lot more.

Also, the music's pretty simplistic and seems like they're just trying to get known as "those guys who play football and have a band".
