[@prestontanner3696]

One of the greats sayings for metal that i have ever heard "People ask me why i scream in my music cause they can't understand what im saying. I always tell them that when i speak, no one hears me. When i scream, you my not understand it, but at least you will feel me"

[@goldenpie6]

Whos that quote from???

[@prestontanner3696]

@@goldenpie6 jesse barnett from stick to your guns

[@zachheinz9683]

People say that to me all the time, "Why do you listen to metal, you can't understand them".. I tell them you eventually learn an ear for being able to understand what they're saying, but sometimes it doesn't matter. Sometimes what's important is how it makes you feel while listening to it. I never knew that quote existed.

[@attila0323]

@@zachheinz9683 With Architects you don't even need to learn to understand it, they don't use those harsh vocals which sometimes really hard to understand.

[@Werewolf914]

This is the only song I've heard of theirs and I didn't really like it, not a fan of his voice don't know if it's too high pitched or what, also don't like that kind of scream just annoys me, I love Death Metal and some Deathcore is cool, but can't get into Metalcore something about the way they scream just really bugs me for some reason, there's some exceptions like Killswitch Engage, but for the most part hate that subgenre.
