- We've updated and rearranged our old #LoudList! Often dismissed as “Cookie Monster vocals,” the #Gutturals growling technique is difficult to master, but these guys (and girl) have emerged to become our picks as the all-time best.

latvet That was a good one! I hope for your sake, she has a good sense of humor!
I applaud you sir
HEY-OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Lol
XDDDDDD
Corpse grinder looks like he could survive a high speed car crash
He effectively can’t be strangled.
He also can survive decapitation with relative ease💪
That neck isnt gonna break anytime soon, that's for sure
Even the car crash wouldn’t survive.
He could just be walking across the road and survive a high speed car crash.
Randy Blythe's transformations from lows to mids to highs and everything in between are on point af.
YXNG KIRK what song was that ?
@@alaskanbullwormmm6797 lemme re watch the video real quick
@@alaskanbullwormmm6797 it was Walk With Me In Hell
I hate Randy's vocals honestly. I can understand why people like them, but to me, he just over pronounces everything and it ends up being so cringey.
@Annoyed Froggiboi ,walk with me in hell
1:46 Fun fact: "boze man" means "angry man" in Dutch! A very fitting name;)
In afrikaans it's bose man. 😂 Really close.
I didnt even realise this.
@@jelteghtc Haha, shame on you Jelte;)
In Russia this will be "Oh god, man!"
In Macedonian it means god man(Боже Човек)
Loudwire needs to learn the difference between gutturals and just low growls lmao
Yes they do
Please explain that difference.
@@hinjurock guttural vocals are made with your tongue in an upward/downward position behind your teeth. And the sound is created by the messing with the airflow in the back of your mouth.
But those collectively are known as "Death vocals", no? There is also a difference between those vocal styles and grim vocals, which I think are higher-pitched.
@@hinjurock just listen
If only Jim Carey had a band, he could be included here.
Jim Carey and the Alrighty then's
Scott A this needs to happen
Mark Kenneth Villafuerte “Is Greg here?”
YESS!!
@@CALL-EEEN-JUAN-JUAN-DUDE best band name ever
Hmmm... What about Alex Terrible?
YESSSSS
Vadya Nedosilach Ben duerr
terrible
Alex puts them all to shame!!!
alex its too young for this list.. its a great singer but doesn't have history
Opeth growls are incredibly unique, beasty and awesome
Akerfeld's voice was incredible in his prime. You could actually understand every word, that's quite rare talent. RIP his voice...
saw him on the last tour in europe and his growls were fucking untouchable
His voice improoved, it was his scream technique, which has changed.
Contrary to popular belief, Åkerfeldt didn't do falsecord growl before 2008, it was infact a type of fry growl.
But his technique changed after the release of watershed, only then he did false cord up to the present day.
Sad he never really practices it tho, he could sound soo much more beasty with dedication
Phil Bozeman is wildly underrated as a vocalist
Also, how is Corpsegrinder above Chris Barnes?
He kinda sucks
Well yeah, because his band sucks. His vocals are on another level for the type of music he does, really
@@amsalek Corpsegrinder uses an actual technique for his music.
@@juanjoyaborja.3054 no shade towards Corpsegrinder, he's a great vocalist. I guess I was talking in terms of Cannibal Corpse. Just think Chris was better for that band, but I get the argument
Seeing Mikael Akerfeldt at #1 made me excited like a little 13 year old fan girl 😆😆✌🏻
i genuinely smiled
Ben Duerr "Shadow of Intent" his guttural vocal is pretty sick
.
True, especially on The Return😍😍
was searching for this comment knowing someone had to mention it. And I couldnt agree more
Fukin same, that dude is really really a fukin monster
Listen to Brandon Craven's vocal Cover
He for sure should have been no.1
Ben Duerr from Shadow of intent and Hollow Prophet, Adam Warren from Oceano, Rok Rupnik from Within destruction, Dickie Allen from Infant annihilator, Ian Bearer from Rings of saturn and Mark Poida from Aversions crown. I feel like all of these could get a spot in this list..
While I agree that most of these guys deserve a spot, it would have needed to be the top 30 to fit them all in as well as the mandatory entries.
CJ from Lorna Shore, Duncan Bentley of Vulvodynia, and probably Austin Dickey too.
Rings of saturn? 😂😂😂 i like that band here and there but best? You gotta be joking lmao
@@Dystxnnaustin dickey?? Brother doesnt even make it into the top 20 lol

Loudwire: 15 Sickest Guttural Vocalists in Metal
Alex Terrible: Hold my beer...
Lmao yes
What about Ben Duerr, or CJ McCreery, or the 19 years old Greg Gilbert (Shrine of Malice)?
You mean vodka
Dude sounds like a fuckin grizzly bear
they didn't include him?? i'm already disappointed
Amon Amarth might not be very extreme as a band, but imho Johann Hegg has the most unique and interesting growls, as well as one of the most powerful... He definitely deserves an higher spot on this list
He didn't even deserve to be on the list. As well as many in this list. 😑
He doesnt even do gutturals 😂
@@thanatos8618 For sure. Whoever made this video know nothing about gutturals
Oh boohoo get over it. It's a matter of interpretation.
Dude im sorry but the guy simply sucks .maybe u haven't heard enough voices that's why u think he's dope.but he's not that much of a voice
I know they are pretty unknown but Ben Duerr from Shadow Of Intent is amazing !!!!
I WILL NOT ROOOOOT
@@Kingovcurses ruclips.net/video/-XmDKmt9vqA/видео.html ;)

I thought they were pretty popular.

Also Ben's vocals are goals
Where's Cookie Monster?

Iron Hammer he should be up there LMFAO awesome comment you Iron Hammer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dion R LMAO! Good one man! I got a great laugh as soon as I read that!!! 🤘🏻☠️
Cant understand a word but i love these vocalists
From Mikael Akerfeldt you can
Johan Hegg sounds like he is just singing, that man is a god
Mike Patton can hit deep just like any of these guys but can actually sing too.
He doesnt really do guttural style vocals though, more throat singing and sometimes does false chord growls
Yeah Patton slaps but Mikael can also sing everything. Yeah most of these guys can't sing clear but still no one can defeat mikael
SepticFlesh finally getting the recognition they deserve.
What was the song?
@@jasonlavigna5624 A great mass of death title track
That makes no sense, they're not even an underground act.
@@nahtanojsivad1256 too many metal purists have shat on me liking septicflesh, Dimmu or cradle or anything symphonic for some reason, like fukin sabbath has keyboards, also just keys can add so much to any rock band let alone septicflesh who ended up getting a whole live fuckin symphony
I see Phil Bozeman on the thumb, instant like
yeah but 9th place is straight disrespect considering it's a gutteral top 15🤔😒🤷♂️
What was that Whitechapel song?
@@rathernot3839 section 8
@@wesgunter6725 thanks
AMEN.
I love how the Chris Barnes clip is one of the oldest one here (and is from his absolute peak vocally), really shows how it all started!
Would’ve been hilarious if they included a recent Barnes clip
Who in their right mind puts Phil Bozeman at #9?
Exactly!!! honestly they could've picked a better sample song like the saw is law or vicer exciser
@@jameshamilton891 what song was whitechapel playing in the video? It sounded sick and I want to check it out.
@@morganfoster3477 I'm pretty sure it's "Elitist Ones"
Morgan Foster i think it’s section 8
They should've used the unanswered cover that he did
*Loudwire boss* “We need to make another top 10 video! Who should be #1 no matter the topic?”
*Loudwire employee* “Well, it’s got to be Ghost, Mastodon, Devin Townsend or Opeth. They’re the #1’s in every other video we make.”
*Loudwire boss* “Give this man a raise!! He’s genius!!”
Yeah these lists are pretty predictable unfortunately. Opeth is one of my favourite bands and Mikael is obviously a great vocalist but I would definitely not rank him #1. Way too many OSDM guys left off this list (Antti Boman, Craig Pillard, Ross Dolan, etc). Glad Lord Worm made the cut but he's bottom of the list...
You forgot Black Sabbath
its like the same old guy makes every list for this page
You forgot about Tool.
They put a good musician as the #1 spot again just like how it's supposed to be? Wow they're doing fucking crazy work. Moron.
mY MuSiC sCarEs pEoPle
Good
scary music it's only for scary people
Scary music from metal to horrorcore, baby! xD
the way you write scares me
... People get scared by Ac/Dc
I’m really glad Johan Hegg is in this list, his growls are great for introducing someone to Death metal
That's 100% correct. I bet tons of people who are into death metal started with a band like Amon Amarth. They're a "gateway" band.
Super cool that you grabbed live performances!
None So Vile is one of the best death metal albums out there. So proud it is Canadian
What song is that?
@@ivanleonov8501 phobophile
@@ivanleonov8501 phobophile
half of them didn't use gutturals...just deep growls.
The sickest guttural singer on the planet is Alex Terrible from Slaughter to prevail and he is not even on the list...
🤘So true saw them back in dec opening for whitechapel & he's amazing live!! But how tf do you only put fuckin phil bozeman at 9 on a gutteral top 15?? That's a Damn shame..😑😔😒
@@wesgunter6725 and they didn't even show him doing gutturals, just lows
@@thomasleerling ikr?? I mean c'mon..you would think loudwire would know the difference between lows and gutterals..but sadly most of this list is just lows smfh
I agree with that. Plus, they put Travis Ryan and Lord worm way too low on this list. They were more guttural than over half of the other people on the list
+ Ben Duerr
2:37 *T H I C C N E C C*
Wow, nice that you included Runhild Gammelæter, and Peter Tagtgren!
randy is so amazing he is doing growls but still makes every word understandable.
Fun fact, in English earlier this semester we were listening to ballads and I pulled up an amon amarth song for the class.. man let me tell you, were those preps surprised at my smile oml 🙃
Needed some madness
Thx 4 the upload

They’re just a metal watch mojo
Ridiculous list.🤣

@@tagabutasngdonut9352 _Thank you my dude_
Cool list, but would have loved to see Oceano's vocalist. His growls are out of this world
I have to agree. Finally another Oceano fan.
YES! Totally expected Adam to be on this list.
@Designated Hessian and Whitechapel is?
@Designated Hessian the only core that is metal is metal core, deathcore, and grind core. Any other core is not and any other "core" that is another metal genre is just a subgenre of one of those three ex. Deathgrind, goregrind, mathcore. Hardcore is not metal tho and not any other core
Dimebag Dio I’m not an elitist and like most if not all the core subgenres but I can get with that
CJ from Thy Art? or CJ from Lorna Shore/Signs of the swarm?
Cj mcreeny in #1 on my list
Designated Hessian ahhh the ducking elitist that doesn’t like anything new. Might I ask how this isn’t metal
Designated Hessian my question was how core isn’t metal 🤔
Eh CJ's (from Thy Art) screams are not low enough to be considered gutturals. U have to admit it even if you are the fan of their work
CJ from Signs of the Swarm for sure
Mike has a unique mic positioning technique. He puts the tip of his nose on the diaphragm and growls slightly below it. This gives a very unique texture to his growls with certain tweaks like keeping the gain a bit higher and the mids boosted. Loved that tweak!!!!
I totally forgot about Vader until this video. Thanks for reminding me!
You left out Infant Annihilator, their vocalist is Satan himself.
Fearless2kill hell yeah
EXACTLY
Nah
Show me one live performance of him...
Filip Gerhat you can find his vocal diary(with live unfiltered screams/growls/tunnels) right here on RUclips.
btbam's early work is pretty exceptional. tommy rogers is an incredible vocalist.
can't disagree with your no.1 pick though. one of the greatest of all time
frank unodostres Alaska has Tommy’s best vocals in my opinion. Exceptional is spot on.
I wholeheartedly agree...his work in "The Parallax II" is some of the best vocal work in the history of heavy music.
Tommy doesnt do gutterals though
@@mrtalkative91 check out their first 2 albums. they were basically a death metal band back then
aesthetic
that low growls are brutal man! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Makes me wanna head bang these parts.
showed this to my mom and she said and i quote, "is the all the same song?" im so dead
Where's Alex terrible?? Hahha
Alex is a fucking demon, the problem is that it is very new compared to the other singers
On garbage I think)
Wheres the actual gutturals? Lol
Alex is amazing, he definitely deserved top 5
He's generic.
Travis Ryan. That man’s far too low on this list.
Honestly I'd put him pretty close to 1st. That dude has made some gnarly noises.
Right?? The man’s a fucking monster
He deserves first
Yep.
Lord worm is to low also he deserves top 10
This has got to be one of the funniest vids I've seen in a long time.
Nah this is a great checking out of vocalists
Glad SepticFlesh made the list.
ellada
They honestly don't get enough praise
@@eseria7550 but they are always on some kind of top list
Wow, never thought I'd see Peter Tägtgren so high up! For once I have to thank Loudwire for including one of the best allround Metal musicians but also one of the most forgotten.
Where is Michael Jackson?
🤣🤣🤣
In grave
Extinción y sudor de huevos jaja
"Spiritual Hee-hee-ling"
In his grave...
This is a pretty solid list. With some exceptions. But still good list. I thought I was gonna see some bands that don’t even growl like Slipknot! LOL!
Good job Loudwire!
This is a good list.
No Ben Durr from Shadow of Intent/Lost Prophet??
Atreyu1107 VG hollow prophet **
does corpse grinder have a horde tattoo?
lucas struna yes he’s a huge fan of the game
Yeah. There is also a NPC in the "Borean Tundra" zone named after him.
FOR THE HORDE
Blizzard even put in a NPC named after him
World of warcraft is all he can talk about, watch intervieuws of him, interviewers are like, defuq is wrong with you
Came here looking for Septicflesh on the list. Wasn't disappointed.
Lord worm at number 15?!
Also, you should include the songs you use in the videos with their names.
My favorite growler is Kyo from Dir En Grey. I love how he'll go from those chest rumbling growls to the unholy shrieks in a split second.
1:27 I love that look! (aaand it creeps me out a weeee bit^^)
Aka the dudes who actually sound as good live as the record
My thoughts before the video started: Lord Worm better be on here
Nice
So happy to see Travis Ryan is featured, he definitely deserved a spot. Definitely think he should’ve been higher up though
Yeah I feel the particular clip they used also doesn't do him justice. He has insane lows, as well as crazy dynamic range. One of the all-time greats for sure.
@@brayden12345 for sure. Hopefully they do another run after releasing Terrasite, I saw them on the Decibel tour with Dark Funeral but some asshole caused me to not really pay attention that much
_See's Johan Hegg. Instant like._

@@caprimann87 You want a prize?
@@awolfinhumanshape2623 i think that would be appropriate
Glen Benton
Damn ! The list is just toooooooooo fuckin perfect !!!
Nice to see Spiros make it :)
Antti Bowman from Demilich has the sickest gutturals ever.
Exactly, glad that you mentioned his name. Such an underrated vocalist.
He doesn’t use gutturals, he uses a deep voice technique
Even though these are mostly low growls rather than gutturals, this list looks pretty fair to me ^^ Especially n°1 :D
Thorr’s Hammer
You fucking shocked me
You totally nailed it, i cant think Ladies is this good in this Death Metal field
Many many metal vocalist can’t come near to your voice
Fucking Death Metal voice
You kill it Thorr’s Hammer Vocalist
This list is sick 🤘🤘🤘
Akerfeldt just rules. There’s something to his voice, that everyone else on this list doesn’t have. It’s like someone krankes the Treble EQ control on his vocal chords
Global warming Ltd it’s how clear he compared to everybody else yet he’s more demonic then everybody else!
Travis Ryan is the best metal vocalist period. He's mastered every varience of the scream from super low to super high and even has added his own flair of "clean" to vocals with their latest album. The dudes crazy talented to be able to hit so many different types of screams and do it night after night after night live and somehow his voice gets better with each new cd
Agree, his vocals on Terrasite are fucking insane. Guy just keeps getting better.
What a trip, at first I was really upset for Joe Duplantier not being here, then I got even more upset, yet curious, for corpsegrinder being 5. I then noticed no Jeff Walker which hurted me physically, but then Mikael being place 1 kind of made me forget all the anger and pain. Solid list, even if I don't quite agree with it.
Most of these aren't even guttural. Just growling doesn't mean guttural. Johan Hegg and whonot are great, but guttural is vocalists like Matti Way, Ruben Rosas, Jason Evans, etc.
Wtf are they
Speaking of Matti have you heard AP's new song?
There's always one guy...
Frank is Gutturral though
@@nakymawlot A lot of these vocalists do just standard death growls.
Lord Worm sounds truly inhuman, deserves much higher imo
He sounds like when you don't feed your saint bernard in 2 weeks.
I thought I was going to see some sick guturals in metal, but I just saw the favorite bands of the channel
I got worried that Mikael wouldn't be on the list when I got to #2
I don’t know her name but the singer of Jinjer is insane! I’m not 100% sure she does gutterals or not but I think she does
Tatiana Shmayluk and yes, she does gutturals and better than most male singers but Loudwire would never put her in this list.
Think she is not known enough to Loudwire standarts
Tomahawks360 idk Jinjer are getting fairly well known now, I would’ve said she’s easily up to loudwirr standards
@@Module79L Are you accusing Livewire of sexism?
Tatiana is a vocal goddess
SepticFlesh are underrated as fuck man!!!!
Peter tägtgren, mikael akerfeld, and chris barnes are on a different level of gutteral. They are clean, and very easy to understand without needing to look up lyrics :p
beside the fact that the earlier opeth albums was at least 20 years further than the time they were created, their guitar riffs is definitely one of the hardest and yet the most heaviest riffs in death metal history.also, Mikael Akerfeldt's voice is the most unique voice in the entire world.
1. Lord Worm
2-15 the others :D
Glad to see Åkerfeldt on here as usual
Man this was just before Alex Terrible started climbing into the light, that dude is INSANELY skilled.
Alex terrible is good and i don’t know if you’ve heard of this band deeds of flesh’s Erik lindmark as well fucking underrated band and vocalist
I was going to be upset if Akerfeldt wasn't #1
he doesnt even do gutturals. i would be fine with this list if it was just vocalists in general
Why he fucking sucks now. Look up Demilich, Antti Boman is one of the sickest ever if not THE one.
@@JM-ll6hd Sucks? He can be a little more hit or miss these days but he certainly doesn't suck. Last time I saw Opeth he sounded incredible.
@@Nightwishmaster once he started wearing bell bottoms hes been trash.
@@JM-ll6hd lol, trash. OK bud.
I knew my boy mikael was #1.
Swedish pride 🍺😈🤘🏾
Where the hell is Alex Shikolay of Slaugher to Prevail?!
He would kick ass of every mentioned one here
Except Lord Worm
2:00 sounds like a pissed of cookie monster
My favorites are Frank Mullen (Suffocation), Chris Reifert (Autopsy), Kam Lee (Death, Massacre)
Yay! Septicflesh is finally getting some recognition here.
Love Randy's voice but Akerfeldt's had me in a trance from 2002-2009. Love the old Opeth albums.
A lot of Loudwire’s videos will need updates every 5-10 years with all the new bands that come out lol
I am officially a metal fan, for the record! I can finally use my flowing mane to it’s full potential.
