What I noticed in a few metal bands is rather the unability of some singers to really sing low.
Napalm Death's Mark Greenaway is unattackable, just as Karl Willet or Martin van Drunen in Bolt Thrower or Angela Gossow. But I often heard some amateurs in the field of deep vocals, forcing their mouth, maybe their throat, yet sounding weak and feeble.

Harsh vocals are used throughout metal these days, and occasionally it works very well for me, as on Indukti's Idmen or Unexpect's In a Flesh Acquarium. As someone else said, I like them best when they are used as a way to express one set of feelings in a music that has a range of feeling, and there for a range of vocal tonalities. I frankly think some harsh vocals sound awful and don't fit the music at all. There are sadly many bands that I get really excited about until vocals come in (that means you Intronaut.) 
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Depends who;s growling really. I can just about tolerate Piotr Wiwczarek from Vade, but I can't even listen to a word of Tomas Haake's vocals They just irritate me. But I could listen to the pair of growlers from Nile all day long, they have such good tone.

Yes I REALLY enjoy listening to metal bands with growls, shrieks, screams and any other form of voice.
It sounds like I'm being accused of something here...
Does that REALLY offend/bother you that people like them?

I also REALLY enjoy any other type of vocals.

It's individual singer, growlers etc. that I might dislike.

There are some vocalists with clear/soft voice that I really dislike, as there are some growlers/shrieks.

Wow, I've never known this even exists. Some DM vocalist's solo project with no instrumentalists involved? Now that is extreme.

Growls/ rasps/ screams are a big part of extreme metal and are meant to convey extreme emotions. Without extreme vocals the music just wouldnīt be the same. Iīve had periods of my life when I didnīt really enjoy extreme vocals, but I guess I must have missed them because after each period ( short or lenghty) of not listening to music with extreme vocals I always return for more.

I like Death despite the vocals, but Shuldiner's pained howls are kind of cool... I suppose, other bands like Opeth and Cynic which mix growls and clean vocals are good but I would never listen to the sh*t that is pure growling and no music.

Deep growls are excellent. I find them to be one of the best ways to create a harsh wave of sound for the listener. I'm not really a fan of black vocals, but the music that accompanies it tends to be excellent. Screams a la metalcore are generally the same, except they tend to lack the good music portion.Tongue

^^ I like some higher growls with some bands. Chuck Schuldiner's growls on Symbolic are AWESOME, and they are not low at all. However, i usually agree with you.

I love growling when it's done right. Very low, guttural, evil... not the yelling screams of metalcore and related styles....

I doubt I would listen to death metal even if growls didn't make me laugh. So I guess I don't care. I should add that I see no inherent value in "tuneful" singing.

I'm sorry, perhaps I should have made my point a bit clearer.
I was refering to the vocals in these bands, not the music itself.

Yes. Check out my signature.

To be honest, I don't like extreme death metal, but melodic death metal and progressive death metal bands usually appeal to me.

Do you REALLY enjoy listenning to death/black metal bands with vocallists who croak, belch, scream, and do everything but sing tunefully?
