I do understand that growling is the part that often splits opinions and I won’t act otherwise, but there’s quite a lot of metal songs with no growling.

I guess the conclusion that “metal is mostly just annoying noise and throaty growling” is related to what gets discussed online - in most cases the vocal part of metal fans are already in the deep end of the subgenres, so only the really heavy stuff gets mentioned. So I do understand where you’re coming from, no real criticism here. :D

I guess the “less heavy” stuff is less often discussed, or just forgotten about when people are talking about “metal” as a whole:

It’s also perfectly fine to not enjoy any of these, just dropping them here as examples about metal songs which have a clear melody and no growling. :D


I do like my noise-filled growling too, though. This is one of the songs where I completely understand that vast majority of people would hate it, and anyone expecting otherwise would be delusional. But hey, I love it.
