Distorted growl?

[kikut]

I'm from harsh electro / industrial background, where processing growl with distortion is a common practice. I'm just curious if this also happens in metal. If this indeed does happen, could you send in some links to such tracks?

I'd be interested to get as aggressive vocal as possible in new tracks like this one: soundcloud dot com/orbicide (this is my music & production plus growls from a metal vocalist; the vocal is slightly distorted and fed through flanger)

So by growls are you going for a long exhale kind of thing, or do you want to do quick gutterals?

Okay i just listened to the track you gave me and it sounds like you want more of a fry kind of vocals. Best bet is to not overly distort it and just go with a flanger, like you mentioned. I've heard that a metal band "The Black Dahila Murder" distorts there vocals. heres a link.

Mind you it may just be high quality layered vocal tracks.

I'm also trying to blend my electronic music with my metal music, but I have not quite yet found my style.

I've checked the Black Dahlia Murder — the track you sent and a couple of others but to be honest there is such a turmoil in the mid-high freq range that I just can't hear if the vocal is distorted or not — either I'm no longer used to metal or it's just bad mix

An example of what I meant by distorted vocal (not sure if it's legit growl though) is here: youtube dot com/watch?v=DBJMl575sa4 (Hocico — Ruptura).

Okay so it sounds like black metal vocals, but they played around with the EQ and may have compressed the track to some degree.

The vocals (before any modifications) may sound like Shaggrath's of Dimmu Borgir, but not quite as powerful. (But thats an assumption.)

i believe it happens in metal, although it shouldnt. how could it be done live/with energy?

It does happen, look up Sybreed and The CNK (my post count is too low to link you to them sorry) As far as I know they don't implement this live
