So i'm pretty sure we've all heard Celtic Frost. And I'm sure everyone who has listened to Celtic Frost would know Fischer has churned out a lot of crazy sounds, most notably "oomph." Being one of the most famous and influential metal bands of all time, I'm sure there are a few bands who have copied/parodied them. One of the most obvious examples is "Celtic Frosted Flakes" by SOD. But I want to get a little more obscure. Does anyone know some more examples of this phenomenon? Of course, it can't be a cover of CF, cause that would defeat the purpose.

WINDS OF CREAT-OOMPH!

I always considered it an "Ugh". To refer to it as an "oomph" means it has an "fff" sound at the end of it, something Tom never did.

i'm on a mexican, radioooooo ha ha ha

It's definitely more of an "UGH" than "OOMPH!" There's an "ugh" somewhere in Diamond Head's "Sucking My Love" towards the end. He's right in sync with the drum hit, so it's easy to miss, but it's there.

There are ughs all over the place in metal. For the most part, they're easy to miss.

I use it 45 seconds into this song http://soundcloud.com/axis-of-frost/ame-noire

What about the Fischer "hey-hey-hey"? I've always heard "I'm fat Albert!" coming after that in my mind.

and primus' suck on this

Not sure about the ugh (I agree, definitely not an "oomph"), but the whiny gothic vocals from Into the Pandemonium have been imitated a lot, by Solefald for example.

This thread is making me think of the onomatopoeic sound effects in comic books .. but coming out of an illustrated Gaahl.

http://www.invisibleoranges.com/2012/02 ... vocal-hit/ The Napalm Death one at the end of this article makes me laugh every time I hear it.

ha ha ha! wicked man!

Gotta love the "hey!" in "In the Shadow of the Horns."

There's nothing quite like a good old fashioned Tom G. Warrior "Ugh!". And no, it is not an "Oomph!".

My favourite non-Warrior version is Akerfeldt's effort on Bloodbath's "Weak Aside".

Trench Hell?

Ya'll be trippin'. It is definitely an "Oof!"

i don't hear an f on the end, it's like the sound of someone getting gut punched or playing tennis

Everybody knows it's UGH!! And of course there's also HEYYYYYY!!! http://tomgwarrior.ytmnd.com/

Obituary does a weird rendition of this "UGNF" in their cover of Circle of Tyrants.

Also, I know some bands that heavily use that kind of thing to set tone... Thulcandra and Obscura are some that come to mind, I'm sure Steffan is inspired by CF vocals.

the studio version of "delivering the goods" by priest, after the (i believe) second chorus. halford goes "deliving the goods...UGGH" i think its the first proper death growl.

I've always loved the "eeyah" at about 0:52 of Obscura's Choir of Spirits. It sounds cool as fuck, and it fits the whole ominous mood of the ongoing riff. But yeah, Steffan is a beast of a vocalist.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIcwMz2cPfs There's one here at about 6:33 I guess that's what were looking for

I've always considered that sort of thing to phonetically be a "Üah". I didn't know there was a widespread recognition/musical "theory" behind it, although it's definitely in widespread use.

The band Plaag named their album after it. Pretty good stuff actually.

ha ha ha! that's cool

all this talk of yaarghs and ughs and oofs reminds me of my favourite one, i had this as my text message alert a while ago ha ha

dread, is that this band? Misery from NZ?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ya1ywSIj3Tw

g'day, no they are from australia [melbourne] but yes that's them
i'm playing the cd right now, it's killer! swirling guitars, gongs, insane hell speed bits, slow chuggy stuff, everything

I just came back to edit that but you replied. Awesome band. Thanks for sharing.

they're one of my favourites, i saw them play here shortly after they released curses, the entry/'door stamp' was HUGE the biggest i've ever seen, it was like a tattoo ha ha i'd like to get some more of their stuff but revel in blasphemy is THE album to get.
funny story how i tracked it down too...

Oh, and this Facebook page is dedicated to UGGGGHHHHS!

War Ripper, this song has an UGH at the beginning, an UGH at the end, and an OWWWW at the end as well. Plus they're sweet. Like if Hellhammer and Discharge made sweet sweet love to each other.

Misery are from Brisbane, not Melbourne.

i meant to put a ? in the end of the [melbourne] i knew it was either 'bane or 'bourne

These topics always bring tears to my eyes from all of the laughter. Discussing the weird dialect of metal vocalists is always fucking hilarious.

Hey! Bruga! Eck! Ooh! Ugh! Bleuh!

...hey!

Angelripper does it at the start of Sodom's Witching Metal.

More than the "hey!" at the beginning of "In the Shadow of the Horns" is Nocturno Culto screaming "Nocturno Culto!"

i just googled "metal caveman" and there's a photo of fenriz! ha ha ha spooky

[this isn't it]

ok just put on warhammer curse of the absolute eclipse which is full of funny noises like: aaaow! uh-ooohah! aiiiieee-uh!

Fischer also used other things:

"THRASH"
"RAID" (Visions Of Mortality)
and the best one ever: "SLOOOOOOOW" (Journey Into Fear, just incredibly fitting here)

Isn't it "Nocturnal Thunder" ?

This is more like "BLEHH!!!"
