Tyr isn't very screamy at all. Very clear vocals.
True, I sort of forgot I had put them in the string of artists just befor I talked about the screaming and death growling stuff.
But none the less, in my second paragraph I said:
"I need both the vocals and the instumental parts to be to my liking for me to really like a song, if one part is "off" somehow, I have a hard time liking it."
I am, to say the least, very particular with the music I listen to. If something feels "off" to me I have a hard time pushing through and really liking a song. It does not matter who made it, It could be my all time favorit artists, my all time most hated artists, or heck the worlds most/least successful artists or what ever... makes no difference.
It's really only the big and obvious parts that I could point at, like screaming and death growling, or "speed playing" the instruments, etc, as to why I might like or dislike or even feel indifferent about a song. But then there are the small nuance that seems to make all the difference in all genres of music for me, the parts where I can't point at why it makes a difference if I like it or not. There could be two groups that are pretty much identical, playing the same kind of music, same idea, same type of instrumental and vocal idea, pretty much same everything... but of some reason I like one of them and not the other. Same goes for music genres I don't like, where of some reason I do like one artist or a few songs.
So with Týr I like the concept of them and their music. But so far all the songs I have heard have had something that feels off to me, something that I can't compleatly point at and say
"this is why".
In general I am a cherry picker to the extream when it comes to music. The majority of my music insterest resides with in the Heavy Metal tree and a lot of it's sub-genres branching of from it. But where many people who like this music might have a pretty full tree with a thick trunk and loads of thick branches, with only a few branches cut away...
my Metal tree's trunk, branches, twigs etc, is greatly hollowed out, loads of branches are also compleatly snapped off and removes, where some smallet twigs of those branches might have goten stuck in the tree's other branches. Basicly what's left is a carcase of a Metal tree, that most people would think looked like a dead tree. Then there is the rest of the forest, where pretty much atleast 90-95 of the none metal parts of it has been pretty much compleatly deforested and the stumps dug up and removed, with only a few stumps and branches and twigs still around, and even then the remaining 5-10% of the tree's are greatly savaged with very little left of them... it's only the Metal tree that even looks like a tree still, and only the Hard Rock tree might come close since it is a close relative to Metal.
Native Americans would be crying if they saw my music forest...
Sorry for the wall of text... I ALWAYS tend to write to much when I chat, write on forums, or write on internet in general.
