I need to find me some more modern metal that's got vampy pretentious guitar & drum work but less screamy vocals. Some shouty & growly stuff is good, but I just bounce right out of the shrieky stuff and really like dudes who can harmonize.
@lmorchard Have you tried the following bands:
Amorphis
Tyr
Borknagar: Urd
There's others but LMK if those fit the bill or if you're looking for something different.
Like, I'm super in a mood for Mastodon, Clutch, and Devin Townsend today but Spotify keeps serving up recommendations for screamy shrieking dudes and I'm like nope.
