distorted vocals

Altered voice sounds

Distorted vocals are singing or speech that has been processed to sound harsh, gritty, or degraded.

The effect ranges from slight fuzz to completely shredded noise, common in metal, industrial, and experimental music: The track opens with distorted vocals over a wall of feedback.

Natural vocal distortion from screaming or growling achieves similar textures without electronic processing.
