15 Sickest Guttural Vocalists in Metal

We've updated and rearranged our old #LoudList! Often dismissed as “Cookie Monster vocals,” the #Gutturals growling technique is difficult to master, but these guys (and girl) have emerged to become our picks as the all-time best.

My wife must be in the 1st place when she snoring at night

[troywatty]

Corpse grinder looks like he could survive a high speed car crash

[DareBrad]

Randy Blythe's transformations from lows to mids to highs and everything in between are on point af.

[MegaDrummerboy]

Loudwire needs to learn the difference between gutturals and just low growls lmao

[kentucky_ken]

If only Jim Carey had a band, he could be included here.

[immortalagony]

1:46 Fun fact: "boze man" means "angry man" in Dutch! A very fitting name;)

[NishantSengar]

Opeth growls are incredibly unique, beasty and awesome

[amsalek]

Phil Bozeman is wildly underrated as a vocalist

[michal]

Akerfeld's voice was incredible in his prime. You could actually understand every word, that's quite rare talent. RIP his voice...

[catherinec]

Seeing Mikael Akerfeldt at #1 made me excited like a little 13 year old fan girl 😆😆✌🏻

[teo]

Ben Duerr from Shadow of intent and Hollow Prophet, Adam Warren from Oceano, Rok Rupnik from Within destruction, Dickie Allen from Infant annihilator, Ian Bearer from Rings of saturn and Mark Poida from Aversions crown. I feel like all of these could get a spot in this list..

Loudwire: 15 Sickest Guttural Vocalists in Metal

Alex Terrible: Hold my beer...

[matthewguarna]

Amon Amarth might not be very extreme as a band, but imho Johann Hegg has the most unique and interesting growls, as well as one of the most powerful... He definitely deserves an higher spot on this list

[DanielRodriguez-hprx]

SepticFlesh finally getting the recognition they deserve.

[tylerbessinger]

Cant understand a word but i love these vocalists

[AlefSousa]

I see Phil Bozeman on the thumb, instant like

[Mr.Goldbar]

I love how the Chris Barnes clip is one of the oldest one here (and is from his absolute peak vocally), really shows how it all started!

[therevanchist]

I know they are pretty unknown but Ben Duerr from Shadow Of Intent is amazing !!!!

[dontgiveafuck]

half of them didn't use gutturals...just deep growls.
The sickest guttural singer on the planet is Alex Terrible from Slaughter to prevail and he is not even on the list...

[hissori]

Who in their right mind puts Phil Bozeman at #9?
