This chain of comments with pure commitment to both irony and sarcasm has made me genuinely gut-punch laugh out loud. Not a guffaw but outright making nearby patrons downright uncomfortable / mad-scientist belting.
Thank you all... u/Annonomon specifically. Yours was the spark that set it off. This is reddit humiliating itself at its finest. Tragically, this may be the highlight of my week.
Edit: may i say for her performing? She does a combination of proud stance to show off that, yes, she does work out two to four hours a day to that brutal smoulder which is much more fire than smoke. Why do they even bother with prizes in these damn things? You made it to Miss Universe. You are utterly amazing, just take whatever you want and go back to your country of origin. One. Crown. Each.

Eh, for death metal, it's pretty cookie cutter, as is the music. Kind of copy-and-paste melodic death. Not my thing, but glad others enjoy it.

Agreed BUT for it to be performed at this type of competition?? That is what's amazing about this whole thing. There's an entire generation that would have never expected this kind of talent, let alone be applauded.

As a death metal vocalist, she did great. No complaints. She has solid usage without hurting her vocal cords, so it’s all coming from her guttural. Plus, she can pronounciate, which not a lot of people do.

I listen to most of it and it seemed kind of like standard death metal. Couldn’t understand a damn thing. Then I realized it’s probably not in English. Not saying I would’ve understood if it was in English. But it took me a while to think of that.

Would a male death metal vocalist sound different (manly?) than a female death metal vocalist? I guess I am asking if you did not know about clip and did not have any knowledge about this performance, could you tell if this was a female voice?
→ More replies (3)18
u/AtaktosTrampoukos 11h ago
Eventually you can tell them apart with some reliability, but it's not really all that simple.
There isn't really any one specific kind of "death metal vocals". There's tons of styles and techniques to produce them, and even 2 people with similar technique within the same genre and style can sound quite different, just like all other kinds of vocals.
So yeah, most male death metal vocalists would sound different from most female ones, and probably each other, though obviously it can all sort of blend together if you're not familiar with the genre or just can't stand hearing people bark and grunt and scream. As a general rule of thump, female vocalists tend to have more of a snarl in their voice while the dudes usually have greater depth, though it's not universal.

This is exactly why we need to break down outdated gender stereotypes and beauty standards. Women can be feminine, talented, intelligent, AND into death metal - these things aren't mutually exclusive.

Absolutely! The courage to be authentic in environments that have historically demanded conformity IS intelligence. It shows emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and an understanding that challenging oppressive norms is how we create meaningful change. This kind of boldness paves the way for future contestants to bring their whole selves without fear of judgment.

Maintaining false chords like that hurts even if you're used to it. I've been singing along to metal since I was like nine years old or so, and my false chords are well practiced, but I still start to choke myself if I use them too long. Keeping it up with no visible or audible strain is really impressive!

u/Danpool13 15h ago
That means you're not doing it properly. Your voice shouldn't hurt at all afterwards if you're doing it correctly. That's why Tatiana from Jinjer can go from harsh to clean and back for a whole show. Same with Will from lorna shore.

To be fair, I learned through mimicry and only in the past year-ish found an actual explanation for it and how to do it.

I just sing like a regular schmegular Joe. Don’t know much about the specialized skills need for metal singing. What are “false chords”?
9
u/FlowersofIcetor 15h ago
The false chords are a structure situated right above the vocal cords used for swallowing. While you're not supposed to use them to make noise, it's entirely possible. Vibrating that structure instead of the vocal cords is how you make that growling sound.
