Exactly. The unintelligible, inhuman growls of death and the high-pitched shrieks of black must be exceptionally difficult to pull off and I remember reading something saying extreme metal performers are at the risk of never speaking again should they snap their vocal chords, which was quite eye-opening.
Never really venture beyond the likes of Slayer and Slipknot in terms of heaviness but metal on the whole has got to be one of the most complex, layered genres of all time. Deep Purple's quite unique in the sense that they play traditional heavy metal but you can really see the influences of classical and opera styles on them.
