Top 10 Languages for Singing Metal

The Top Ten
1 English
2 German

Equilibrium sound great in German. German would be good for death metal, too. German harshness would be very useful for any metal subgenre that is heavier.

3 Italian

Italian is good for almost all music genres so why not metal? I think it would be great for symphonic and power metal. Opera is mostly in Italian.

4 Finnish

I know many songs in Finnish and I like them. I probably just got used to it.

5 Norwegian

Norwegian is very melodic and high-pitched. Currently it's mostly used in black metal and folk metal songs.
Melodic language means that it sounds as if people sing a song when they speak.
What metal subgenre is melodic and high-pitched? Power metal.
I also think Judas Priest songs would sound good in Norwegian.

6 Danish

I think this language would be good for death metal as it has many deep, guttural sounds, so you already have a natural voice distortion. Besides, Danish also has harsh sounds because it's from the German language group.

7 Dutch

Dutch is a mix of English and German, and has guttural sounds. I think Dutch would be good for death metal.

8 Turkish
9 Hungarian

To me it sounds similar to Finnish but I might be wrong.
