Bands That Go "Wuurgggh!"
Jedit:
That being the collective name I give to the primarily-Scandinavian metal bands of varying stripes who routinely shoot themselves and/or other people and make jewellery out of each other's bones. What I'd like to know is, what's the difference between Death Metal, Black Metal, and all the other dubious flavours of overbassed songs about killing everyone in the name of/to save them from Satan?
(Yes, I will stop stereotyping now. :))
I'd also like to know why the hell anyone listens to Opeth, but the answer to that is likely to be subjective so don't bother.

I hated Opeth and all the growly vocals bands for a long time. Everyone I knew was trying to get me to listen to them, but I just didn't see it. Now I love Opeth. I gave all the growly vocals bands I have another listen recently, and they're awesome. I just realize that the vocals are not the melody in this case, rather a rhythmic instrument with but a single pitch. Now, I don't listen to any of the really harsh stuff, so I can't comment on that. I just listen to the most popular and accessible groups of the genre.

^ I was exactly the same way with Opeth. Initially I only liked the songs from Morningrise which had lots of acoustic bits, especially the last track which is all clean vox. A month later they were my favourite band and I loved every song for years :)
I love Opeth for being able to do acoustic and metal stuff so well, often in the same song.
Cartilage Head:
Growly vocals are groovy as long as they are done right..for example,Opeth. Of course,Opeth does everything in the whole world right.Opeth is more than just growly vocals. Looks like SOMEBODY is making unsupported claims about music..alert the mob!
Bastardous Bassist:
No, I don't think the mob will believe us, because nobody ever makes unsupported claims about music.
