Ah, I always look at this kind of Death Metal singing as vocal distortion to match the distortion and grinding tones of the guitars. There's a good number of DM bands that do clean singing as well. I'll look around for a bit and post a few later.
Ok after looking around for like an hour now it seems I've forgotten how ass most of these heavy bands with clean vocals are. I posted a Shadows Fall song that has understandable yelling in the verses and clean singing in some of the choruses. But yeah I really spoke too soon saying there were a "good number" of DM bands with clean vox. The bands with clean vocals tend toward either slower or less heavy songs or both. The power and thrash metal inspired stuff is faster but not brutally heavy and the vocals can tend toward cringe a bit much for my tastes. Sorry I got your hopes up mate.
Do you mean the lyrics or the growly voice?
