Chris Maragoth sent us his most recent Youtube video, which is common for me as a music writer, however I wasn’t expecting it to be instrumental. Turns out, a lot of music in the metal scene has become instrumental. Why is that, you may ask? Well we look to uncover the reason why this is so in today’s evolving metal genre.

Vocals are becoming seemingly unimportant as they only portray specific emotions and atmospheres in the metal genre. Whether they are growled, heavy vocals, or sometimes autotuned clean vocals, there seems to be no paradigm where artists can express vocals in a unique way, as opposed to alternative genres such as rock or indie.
