so is he never doing harshes again on future albums? haven't been up to date with recent interviews, etc
I don't recall him saying that, but he isn't planning to do them again yet.
He's said that he will growl if that vocal style is needed in some song. However, I think there'll be little, if any, growling on the next album.
I can do the lows pretty well, but I just totally die doing the more higher pitched stuff (like in the video above when he does the "torn by the arrival of autumn" part).
Yeah, the deeper growls are easier to handle for me as well, although I can do some higher "screaming" too.
I can't do high pitched harsh vocals at all, and even my low growls are pretty bad; they don't sound too bad, but I just can't do it without hurting my throat a bit after a few lines.
Then you're using the wrong technique - growling and screaming shouldn't hurt. As I mentioned above, Mikael's output volume isn't that loud and the style he uses doesn't take that much toll on your vocal chords or throat.
In the past few years his growls have sounded kind of strained and a bit weak compared to what he used to sound like.
Sounded pretty strong on Deconstruction.
I've only heard the song he appeared on once when it was released (not a Devin fan), but I remember that the growls sounded similar to the RAH performance and other recent live clips, i.e. not too great.
