Opeth

And what do you think about the growl which of course is an intergral part of their 'death repertoire'? I didn't like it at first, but then I figured out that extreme metal probably needs 'extreme' or 'harsh' vocals of some kind, in the same way as the mellow parts of their songs need 'clean vocals'. Mikael Åkerlund of Opeth changes his vocals following this pattern.

Most people, however, tend not to agree with me on this... They simply cannot stand it
