Can you name any musician who criticized growlings in extreme metal sub-genres such as black/ death metal?

Growling in extreme metal is a vocal technique where the singer produces a low, guttural sound similar to a growl or roar. It is commonly used in heavy metal, death metal, and black metal genres.
Some musicians may criticize growling in extreme metal because they believe it is a cheap or gimmicky vocal technique that is overused and lacks musicality. They may also argue that it takes away from the musicality and meaning of the lyrics.
Some famous musicians who have criticized growling in extreme metal include Dave Mustaine from Megadeth, Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden, and Rob Halford from Judas Priest.
No, not all musicians in extreme metal use growling vocals. Some bands may use clean vocals or a combination of growls and clean vocals. It ultimately depends on the style and preference of the band.
Yes, growling in extreme metal is a legitimate vocal technique that requires skill and practice. It may not be for everyone, but it has become a defining characteristic of some metal genres and has been used by many successful and respected musicians.
