Death growl
A death growl (or simply a growl) is a vocal style (an extended vocal technique) usually employed by singers from death metal music genres, but also used in a variety of other heavy metal styles. Death growls are sometimes criticized for their "ugliness."〔Sharpe-Young, Garry. ''Death Metal'', ISBN 0-9582684-4-4〕 However, the harshness of death growls are in keeping with death metal's abrasive music style and often dark and obscene subject matter.〔 The progressively more forceful enunciation of metal vocals has been noted from heavy metal to thrash metal to death metal. ==Definition== Death metal, in particular, is associated with growled vocals. Death metal, which tends to be lyrically and thematically darker and more morbid than thrash metal, features vocals that attempt to evoke chaos, death, and misery by being "usually very deep, guttural, and unintelligible."〔David Konow, ''Bang Your Head:The Rise and Fall of Heavy Metal''. Three Rivers Press, 2002, p.228.〕 Natalie Purcell notes, "Although the vast majority of death metal bands use very low, beast-like, almost indiscernible growls as vocals, many also have high and screechy or operatic vocals, or simply deep and forcefully sung vocals."〔Purcell, Natalie J. ''Death Metal Music:The Passion and Politics of a Subculture''. McFarland, 2003, p. 11.〕 Sociologist Deena Weinstein has noted of death metal: "Vocalists in this style have a distinctive sound, growling and snarling rather than singing the words. Making ample use of the voice distortion box."〔Weinstein, Deena. ''Heavy Metal: A Cultural Sociology.'' MacMillan, 1991, p. 51.〕
