Beauty And The Beast

How many of you are fans of "Beauty And The Beast" bands? Well, let me explain to you what they are;

Beauty and the Beast is a musical band term for how the bands vocals are set up.
Usually a post-hardcore related band, a screamer [usually male] in the band obviously does growls, screams, shouts, roars, and hardcore stuff to give it a metal hardcore edge. that person is known to as "The Beast." And, a clean vocalist, who sings the clean vocals with fairly high voice and it sounds pure, beautiful and great and gives it an amazing part to the song. This person is known as "The Beauty." Now, just cuz a band is post-hardcore/nu-metal and has a clean vocalist and screamer, doesn't mean that they can be classified as a "Beauty and Beast" band. The band must have dual [two] vocals, which means to different people, the percentage of screams and clean singing must BE or very close to 50%-to-50%, and the beast is usually a male, and the beauty is usually a female. now, there are some exceptions and i did say USUALLY.
Some examples of Beauty and the Beast bands are;

Eyes Set To Kill
IWrestledABearOnce
A Skylit Drive
Of Mice & Men
Isles & Glaciers
This Romantic Tragedy
In This Moment

Check these bands out! And see ya! ;)
