Looking for Metal with good clean vocals

[Darkheartedsoul769]

Searching for metal with good clean vocals [think of the vocals from a classical music point of view to know what i deem "good"] such as those found on:[band-album] Empyrium - Weiland, Opeth - Blackwater Park, Moonsorrow - Kivenkantaja, Katatonia - The Great Cold Distance, In The Woods... - Omnio, Novembre - The Blue, etc. Also, please note that i am indifferent to the sub-genre of the metal the clean vocals are included in. Thanks in advance for any recommendations

[Sangrophage]

Before The Dawn
Noumena <-- Highly Recommend
Dawn of Solace

Please introduce yourself etc.

[Darkheartedsoul769]

thanks i'll check them all out and see what i like... Noumena is pretty damn good thanks for the recommendation

[Leviathan]

Needs moar Bathory.
(Though you won't find the clean vocals mixed with anything else on some albums, and you'll only find black metal vocals on others. I suggest you get Hammerheart or one of the Nordland albums)

[H3LL_F1R3]

The Project Hate MCMXCIX has good clean female vocals with male growls.

[Darkheartedsoul769]

I didn't like Project Hate too much. And i appreciate the Bathory recommendation, thanks.

[Sangrophage]

Appreciated, but please. Introduce yourself.

[Darkheartedsoul769]

i already did. check the general sticky introduction thread

[Leviathan]

Checked Bathory?

[Skanmar]

Scar Symmetry.

[Darkheartedsoul769]

i own pitch black progress by scar symmetry good cd but thanks regardless. Also, yes i checked bathory; good stuff.

[Darkheartedsoul769]

thanks for links much appreciated

[Gospel]

agalloch employs clean and harsh vocals (on the mantle and ashes against the grain at least) and are also an amazing band. highly recommend agalloch
also I am just checking out sculptured's first album and it might fit the bill too, though I'll wait to see how prominent the clean vocals are

[Darkheartedsoul769]

i have heard of agalloch and listened lightly to their material; thanks for your recommendations

[RoivasUGO]

Raintime
Smaxone

Both a bit different take on a similar style, melodeath/power

[H3LL_F1R3]

Definatley second agalloch

[Skanmar]

Disilussion (Back to Times Of Splendor LP)
Hevein
Novembre (Not near the genres you listed or well similair to the bands however a great great vocalist on this *note parts of the lyrics are in Italien)
Raunchy (eventhough the vocals dont switch over to completly clean it's still a crystal clear tone)
Satariel-Hydra album
Virgin Snatch (more thrashy actually but still a great vocalist)

[Leviathan]

Odyssey

[AntiHero]

Nightrage has some great clean vocals, their second album especially. I haven't listened to them in awhile, but I recall liking them quite a bit.

[Darkheartedsoul769]

more stuff to check out now; for future recommendations read the new addition to my first post although it hasn't changed what i'm looking for

[Sangrophage]

Elegeion

[BlaZe_in_Sanguine]

New Anaal Nathrakh - theyve consistently used an increasing amount of clean vocals since their second album

In the woods... - i only have the self titled, which is mostly folk/black, and its superb

Raate - folk/black

Primordial - newer music uses clean vocals, older music is BM with some folk influences. the new album is great and uses quite a bit of clean vocalage

thats just a few... pretty much anything that has folk influences is gonna have clean vox, but not necessarily

[Sangrophage]

Empyrium?

yeah in folk ive noticed that generally bands implement some form of clean vox [Moonsorrow,Ensiferum,etc.]...and thanks for recommending Anaal Nathrakh & In The Woods i think im going to enjoy their material from what i've listened to

[Sangrophage]

Noumena is not Folk...

[Darkheartedsoul769]

Empyrium?


yes quite good, the use of the backing "choir" sound in the song 'mourners' is comparable to what moonsorrow uses in a multitude of their tracks... i have to say one of the best recommendations thus far

[onde]

yeah, empyrium is pretty good

[Darkheartedsoul769]

whoops sorry i was thinking finnish bands a bit too much there... plus it's 12:30 am here and im tired as hell

[Leviathan]

In the woods... - i only have the self titled, which is mostly folk/black, and its superb
Self titled? There is no self-titled. Maybe you're talking about HEart of the Ages. Which is a superb album. Also, Omnio and Strange in Stereo are pretty much sung entirely in clean vocals.
Get In The Woods... - Omnio, Darkheartedsoul769. You will not regret it. I think I've uploaded it somewhere in the rapidshit thread.

i'm having a hard time finding a good torrent for Omnio...got any links???

Edit: Nvm i found one on rapidshare... http://rapidshare.com/files/32283300/IN_THE_WOODS..._-_Omnio.rar

[BlaZe_in_Sanguine]

lol, yea i was... my mistake

[Darkheartedsoul769]

hmm... In the Woods... it was very good with the blending of the male & female vocals for a good harmony in parts of some songs [299.796 Km/s]. Overall i can say that the band and album recommendation were great... Much appreciated.

[tomas_z_socho]

The Eternal (Aus) - Sleep Of Reason :shock:

[Darkheartedsoul769]

they're not that spectacular try more along the lines of Swallow the Sun or Empyrium

[norilor]

Borknagar, Arcturus(especially Colossus), Falkenbach, and Green Carnation(try either Acoustic Verses or a Blessing in Disguise.)

[dieandrot]

Dark Suns... they're badass

[Sangrophage]

Vomit Remnants

[Soultaker]

I like this: Alas - Absolute Purity (http://hell.student.utwente.nl/torrents/Alas%20%5b2001%5d%20Absolute%20Purity.torrent)

[Tealeaf]

lol nobody mentionned Reverend Bizarre.

[Darkheartedsoul769]

Borknagar, Arcturus(especially Colossus), Falkenbach, and Green Carnation(try either Acoustic Verses or a Blessing in Disguise.)

i have stuff from all those bands but thanks anyways. And you do realise that Colossus was a Borknagar song off of Quintessence and not anything Arcturus related.

[Darkheartedsoul769]

Dark Suns... they're badass

they're good, but i'm still really hooked on Swallow the Sun, Noumena, & Empyrium
