Music Haven

[Chez Daja]

I've had a chance to read current affairs on screaming.
I listen to maybe five bands with screaming... The rest of my music uses a serious of growls and grunts, which I personally think sounds better.
Screams are common in nu/brutal/some black/heavy and power.

SBM uses a lot of "death noises" with sometimes include screams. They create the appearence that they're dying or being ripped to shreds. I listen in sometimes. The atmoshperic music afterward is worth it.

Grunting/growling > screaming.

I guess if you planned to scream for a long time, you might need some form of voice training.

[Craven]

I don't mind grunting. Its makes some songs pretty cool, Chapter Four by Aveneged Sevenfold for example. I agree with Chezuhnz.

Grunting/growling > Screaming.

my mucial knowledge expands way ove rnu metal and brutal, i started out listeing to classic metal like sabbath and ACDC, my favouirte style then turned to classic thrash, megadeth, metallica anthrax etc. This still remains my favouirte style. I enjoy a little bit of nu metal but not actually a lot. So lets recap, my range of styles are

• nu metal
• death metal
• thrash metal
• brutal/deathcore
• classic metal
• alternative metal
• progressive metal

i think thats quite a arnesnal of genres.

Bit of a mouthful, eh? Hehe. In all seriousness... I'm not sure. Might have to come back to this one.

[Martin]

Can't believe I haven't joined this club yet. Consider this my request for joining then and in the spirit of things I'm going to do the mini-survey at the start too just like the good little obedient man I am.

What are/is your favourite type(s) of music?
There are some people out there that would like to say they are open minded when it comes to the music they listen to. I would be one of those people. If I had to pick three genres over the others though I'd say I'd listen to a lot of Classic Rock, Indie and Alternative Rock.

Do you have a particular favourite artist/band? If so, who?
I think it's fair to say I do. I love Queen with an absolute passion. And if Freddie Mercury was still alive today I'm fairly sure the world would be a much rockier and funkier place.

How has music affected your life?
My music got me through some very bad times. It's been well documented about the face I have some very personal issues with family and with my health and when I've had the darker moments I've put on A Night at the Opera and all of a sudden the world doesn't seem so evil and cruel. Some of the more thoughtful Queen tracks got me through events such as dealing with my dad's death a few months ago (It was delayed grief as he'd died almost 12 years before) especially songs like Life is Real. I genuinely don't know how things would have panned out without them. I'm not going to monopolise this great band though, I mean Oasis got me through secondary school and I'd be lost without some of the classic orchestral music out there.

Have any musical talents?
I used to play Piano quite a bit but I was never as good at that as I was a drummer. I still get on the drums from time to time but my ability to keep rhythm is not what it once was.

What's your favourite song at the moment?
I would have to say a little ditty called Carnival Town by Norah Jones. I love her as it is but it's such an understated and mellow album track. I love it.

Onto the next bit then.


What songs/instruments would you choose?
