Hegemon - Contemptus Mundi

My favorite black metal album of the year so far, hands down.

As much as I hate to say it, I don't really like Black Metal, I feel I should, I mean, it's great and all but the vocals are so annoying, I don't know, and the band logos are really cool also.

You like Cannibal Corpse and i'm assuming other death metal but do not like black metal because of the vocals? That is a strange statement to me.

I really wanted to pick up that Hegemon cd but didn't know of it being released in the U.S. anywhere, glad to hear it is a good album.

Why is it strange? Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel and Obituary with the low growls and all is awesome but the high screams just kill me, I dunno, I kinda like Dead and Maniac from Mayhem, though. I should start listening to Mayhem. Anyway I just need to let it grow, like Death Metal did.

I don't have a problem with low growls, i tend to enjoy them, but black metal vocals are far more diverse imo. It took me far longer to figure out how to do the highs and rasps than it did to do lows. And i think death metal vocals are far more inaccessible than black metal vocals. But i'm obsessed with black metal so maybe i'm just biased at this point.

I dunno, I should probably just get used to the vocals in it. I said the exact same thing about Cannibal Corpse when I first heard them. "Fucking crap" and "Man these vocals suck" but look at me now.

Indeed, i think vocals aren't such a big deal to me, the music is more important overall. Give it time, you may come to find obsession with black metal.

I love Black Metal vocals. I'm a fan of older Deathspell Omega's vocals. The music, however, has yet to grow on me. They show flashes of brilliance though.

I think Deathspell are amazing! I listen to the entire album when i am able to sit still and concentrate on it, i don't like to listen to a song here and there by them. They are an experience and it'll grow.

I like the newer stuff, it's just Inquisitors Of Satan.

I once asked what older DsO sounded like and V5 said "it's more rock sounding" or something, and I can agree. That's the main thing I don't like.
