For me it was just a matter of getting used to the vocals, like anything they just seem normal and make perfect sense after a while. In a way I think they are necessary beyond being just a coincidental stylistic preference among these sorts of musicians; the focus on intricate riffs and instrumental interplay in extreme metal almost demands the vocals play a purely rhythmic/atmospheric role, lest it clutter up everything else or accidentally shift the focus of the music too close to something melodic. Extreme metal with frequent or dominant clean vocals can be harder to listen to for me, actually sounding less natural or even more ridiculous (might be exceptions though).
That certainly makes sense. I'll definitely never dismiss the genre entirely. I've always assumed it'll click into place eventually. _________________ http://jonnyleather.com
