What is the point of doing anything in music?

Many reasons. The most simple one - it adds another dimension to the music. Much like the guitars can be clean or distorted so can the vocals. Apart from that, undeniably, at the core metal is an aggressive genre. Aggression is much better conveyed through extremities, in the case of metal - screaming. That point can be expanded onto other emotions as well; despair, anger, excitement, etc.
That being said, deathmetal mostly employs growling rather than screaming. Growling is much more guttural in nature and is a better fit with the music. Although some use "screaming" and "growling" interchangeably...
Just to showcase my point.
Screaming:
Growling:

for growling it's much easier and healthier for frontman to bring bunch of angry and wild dogs instead.

Can't go wrong with swallow the sun, however the other one was pretty crappy poppy melodeath. What makes that death anyway? Blast beats?

Yes we do.
The first one was pretty good, had a few too many breaks at the start but the end part was pretty good. Reminds me of darkthrone's first album. Death metal that's melodic but actually reasonably dark and atmospheric at the same time!
Second one, much better. I absolutely love death doom and evoken are well regarded so that's no suprise.
Pretty reasonable, the vocals sounded not quite the best though, reasonable but not great. Nice feel to it though.
Fourth, too low quality to listen to really.
Fifth, sortof sounded immature, which I can handle with some stuff, but not in this instance.
Sixth
Seventh: Well that's different vocals to what I'm used to, but they do work reasonably well and that's a nice atmospheric track with some great melodies/riffs in there.
Eighth: Interesting, is this a cross between industrial and death metal? Don't really like the vocals though.
Nineth/tenth, still don't like vocals.

The "poppyness" of Nightrage and Swallow the Sun is practically identical in my eyes . What makes them melodeath? Well, what else would you call them? I do agree though, they're far from the best out there. I just dig that opening riff and they're a good example of screaming.
Posted by Darkarbiter on Aug-21-2009 02:44:
Probably, and yeh, not disputing that that's the proper term. Just some melodeath is a bit on the light side. I dunno, do quite like swallow the sun though, guess it's personal preference really.

As far as Nightrage goes, I need to do a little more listening. However Swallow The Sun is definitly more underground, good, and a better band for sure.
@ Arbiter: Btw don't confuse melodeath with melodic death. 2 Different genre

Lately I've been enjoying a lot of Amorphis.
Not even going to try to describe it for you genre nazis.

@ DuBam & Mr.Mystery: Nice, good to have mention of Amorphis
Edit: Mathcore is awful genre of metal. Converge and Ion Dissonance are only good bands of the genre.
