A death growl (or simply a growl) is a vocal style (an extended vocal technique) usually employed by singers from death metal music genres, but also used in a variety of other heavy metal styles. Death growls are sometimes criticized for their "ugliness." However, the harshness of death growls are in keeping with death metal's abrasive music style and often dark and obscene subject matter. The progressively more forceful enunciation of metal vocals has been noted from heavy metal to thrash metal to death metal.
Definition
Death metal, in particular, is associated with growled vocals. Death metal, which tends to be lyrically and thematically darker and more morbid than thrash metal, features vocals that attempt to evoke chaos, death, and misery by being "usually very deep, guttural, and unintelligible." Natalie Purcell notes, "Although the vast majority of death metal bands use very low, beast-like, almost indiscernible growls as vocals, many also have high and screechy or operatic vocals, or simply deep and forcefully sung vocals." Sociologist Deena Weinstein has noted of death metal: "Vocalists in this style have a distinctive sound, growling and snarling rather than singing the words. Making ample use of the voice distortion box."

Easy and Safe Metal Screaming Tutorial (Beginner Level)
Hey, I hope you find this helpful :)
Don't forget to work with a voice teacher online or in person if you can, and remember to be kind to yourself as you're working on your vocals. It can feel awkward to practice since your instrument is literally part of your body - you can't exactly see your instrument, and it can feel oddly personal. That's totally fine :) A teacher will be able to help you with your personal vocal struggles better than any YouTube video can!
Like any other skill, it just takes time and practice to build up stamina and precision. It's incredibly worth it just for the good it does for the soul, and for annoying rude neighbours. I know you'll use your new powers wisely :'D
Happy practicing! \m/

Singing death metal, specifically the low growls, has more to do with breathing and air than it does projecting your voice, or singing loud.
In fact, it's not about singing loud at all. It's more about how you move that air, and I show you exactly how to do that.
In the video, I relate death vocals to a tube amp. When you play guitar through that tube amp, you feel that air push from the speaker.
This is similar to how you'll treat singing death metal. You're using that your breath to push those notes out rather than belting out notes with open vocal cords.
Leave a comment if you have any questions about my death metal vocal techniques! And let me know if you'd like more vocal content on my channel (my channel is primarily for metal guitar players).
Also, please give this video a thumbs up and share it!
