Top 10 Metal Songs Where the Vocalist Provides Both Growls and Clean Vocals
Songs sung by one singer who switches from growls to clean vocals and vice versa.Songs with 2 vocalists are not allowed (where one singer provides clean vox and another singer - growls).
Criteria:
- how good both types of vocals are: some singers are almost equally good at both, some others - either better at growls or clean vox
- how good the song is
My original Top 10 includes one song per band to provide variety but some bands have many songs that can be on this list.
Vox: Mikael Akerfeldt.
I would say he's equally good at both types of vocals though his growls impress me more.
Vox: Stu Block, currently the lead vocalist for Iced Earth.
Just play the song sample. He's so good at both types of vocals. But because Stu Block joined Iced Earth, a band that never used growls, he became known for his powerful clean vocals, reminiscent of Matt Barlow vocals.
Vox: Alissa White-Gluz, currently in Arch Enemy.
Her growls are better than her clean voice but her clean vox are very good as well.
Vox: Devin Townsend.
His clean vox are surprisingly operatic! I would say his clean vox are better than his growls.
Vox: Steffen Kummerer
He prefers growling and rarely sings clean but in some songs he does. Septuagint is a very beautiful song.
Vox: Mikael Stanne
Vox: Mikael Stanne
Vox: Jari Maenpaa The cleans are actually the better vocals in this song.
Vox: Alissa White-Gluz
