Cryptopsy was the first harsh vocal band I got into as a teen and I think NSV is still my favorite dm album. actually that's probably Elvenefris but goddamn is NSV a masterpiece.

That is truly diving into the deep end as a start.

was just listening to it again yesterday while walking to get coffee by my office. while waiting in line i did a subtle but obviously noticeable fist pump after that slick bass line that transitions into the breakdown on "slit your guts". the lady getting me my coffee noticed.

i just can't help it. NSV is so loving good.

heh yeah getting into metal via a video game message board had its perks. tbf I probably started listening to Opeth around the same time and also screamo stuff like Orchid and City of Caterpillar.

Children of Bodom, a band I will go to the grave defending the first 3 albums of.

Shout out GameFAQs board 235, which I may or may not still use.

Not sure what made me fall in love with them but my earliest harsh vox bands were Atheist, Carcass and Death.

Yeah, the newer stuff is more what I was wondering about, I should've said after Lord Worm's 2nd departure. I kept up with them through Once Was Not, but after Unspoken King came out I just completely stopped paying attention to them.

Good to hear the new EPs are worth checking out.

First band with harsh vocals would be Opeth's Deliverance or Children of Bodom's Fear the Reaper. I bought them both at the same time from Tower Records NOLA while down there for a family vacation.

The fifth track "Rising Scum" sounds like blackened Manowar and it's loving great.

Album owns.

Aethenar has admitted that he blatantly steals Manowar riffs all the time and the the last part of Crushed by Demons is just Each Dawn I Die.

first harsh vocal song I can clearly remember listening to was Bodom's Every Time I Die

Bodom led me to In Flames, which led me to Soilwork, Dark Tranquillity, and Arch Enemy and then just kept going

Fall in love with harsh vocals, first instance was...Burzum.
The scream on Feeble..its an intro to a new world

1992/93

Then this

Bathory - Equimanthorn

Both NSV and WS are about as solid as it gets. Never understood the hate WS got from some people.

Hell yeah. While I haven't read anything beyond actual FAQs on that site in a long time, that board was my big gateway into metal back in the early 00s, back before I had decent internet for files and stuff.
I can't remember what first got me into harsh vox first, but I did blind purchased Winds of Creation at 15 and that poo poo rocked my face off for a long time.

It just unfortunately had to follow up NSV, and the vocalist change probably didn't help preconceived notions that it would be bad without Worm. Like Slough Feg's Atavisim sure it's great but lmao it's following up Traveller.

Yes.
I used to kinda dig the odd Children of Bodom song back in the day, but that was despite the vocals. I think they kinda laid the groundwork though, in getting me to tolerate the screamy stuff.

The first harsh vocals album that really loving grabbed me, though, was Norther's debut, Dreams of Endless War. I think that's when I passed from just tolerating harsh vocals to appreciating them as just one vocal style among others. Not really sure what made the difference for me, maybe it was because Lindroos' vocals were steadier and more intelligible than Alexi Laiho's YOW YOWing? I dunno.

I missed this earlier but Orchid loving rule and they and bands like Fear Before the March of Flames probably introduced me to harsh vocals. When I jumped over to metal in high school the vocals didn't really turn me off because of screamo and hardcore.

I found some doom metal stuff for the weekend, because I guess it's doom o'clock.

https://heavypsychsoundsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/acid-mammoth-under-acid-hoof - Acid Mammoth. Greek doom metal. Very Sabbath'y. Also very good.

https://chains.bandcamp.com/ - Chains. Slovenian doom metal. Vocalist sounds .. a bit like if you crossed Tony Wakeford with Danzig.

It was probably Black Dahlia Murder and Amon Amarth together that got me into harsh vocals, still have pretty big soft spots for both of them.

Also ordered these from NWN

Vehement Thrower, 90s death metal with some grind influences that I had been waiting to see reissued: https://nuclearwarnowproductions.bandcamp.com/album/i-come-in-peace

Gamespot subforums where how I got introduced to metal.

Does anyone remember Black Metal Radio:

http://www.blackmetalradio.com/index.php

Site doesn't seem to work quite right anymore, but in the pre-youtube days this is where I discovered a lot of black/death metal.

P.O.D. for those harsh vocals. Hah.

I ran sound for the church youthgroup I was in. Someone left a blank CD with the sharpie title "Terminate Damnation." Of course that sounded badass. So I guess Becoming the Archetype got me into metal, and their forums got me into other stuff.

My close friend in high school (who I later formed a band with and who even later went on to join BTBAM) brought over a copy of Cannibal Corpse's Bloodthirst, and I think that was my first "extreme" metal album. I mean, I'd heard Korn and stuff before that, but that Corpse album was just unlike anything I'd heard.

Edit - it was either that or In Flames' Jester Race album

A girl I played Tribes with knew I liked nu-metal and was like "hey try this" and it was a three-punch combo of "Coffinfeeder", "Pounded Into Dust", and "Blowtorch Slaughter". It was all over for me after that and death metal very quickly became my #1 musical love and still is 20 years later.
