Cookie Monster vocals

Spooky singing electronically modified until it is very low-pitched and sounds like Cookie Monster. A classic techinique of death metal.

You might remember cookie monster vocals from such bands as:

Napalm Death
Dead and Bloated (Has anyone heard of this band besides me?)
Cemetary
Death Angel
Cannibal Corpse

Kam Lee is usually credited with the invention of modern death metal growling style of vocals.

Some bands don't care about such things as articulation or proper enunciation and use deep guttural vocals as another instrument. However, the best death metal singers are able to do extremely brutal vocals which you can still understand and/or follow in the lyrics sheet.

Examples of albums with brilliant death vokills:

• Suffocation "Pierced From Within"
• Anathema "Crestfallen"
• Grave "Into the Grave"
• Paradise Lost "Gothic"
• Bolt Thrower "...For Victory"
• Sinister "Diabolical Summoning"
• Edge Of Sanity "Purgatory Afterglow"
• Saturnus "For the Loveless Lonely Nights"
• Gorefest "False"
• Opeth "Blackwater Park"
