What would I say? Black metal vocals is kinda harsh/raspy. Mixed with screaming. Maybe shrieking vocals.

I don't like black metal vocals. But some a lot of metalheads like black metal vocals.

8 Folk Metal

Some folk metal bands have clean vocals, some folk metal bands have growling vocals. Some bands do both. But the vocals are very well-matched with instruments.

9 Gothic metal

Sounds kinda like symphonic metal. Usually powerful, clean vocals.

10 Alternative Metal Alternative metal is a music genre that infuses heavy metal with influences from alternative rock and other genres normally associated with metal.

Clean vocals usually. A lot like alternative rock, more powerful. And mix of harsh vocals.
