re-listened, and i do confirm that they are a whine; maybe an unusual uncharacteristic-of-emo-whine but whiny and, to my tastes, intolerable nonetheless. They are pretty knee deep in emo with just the vocals alone, regardless if you classify them as a whine or not. In any case, there is no need to bringah da br00talz, but a simple nicely sung, unstressed-vocal-chord passage would do. On the br00talz note, there are plenty of Death Metal and Black Metal vocalists that are shite, Grindcore pig vocals while amusing become quite annoying, pretty much all Metalcore is shite by default. It really depends on the band, i mean any good vocalist will have a characteristic sound, but then there is just the grating intolerable vocals of the above mentioned disciplines, and again it all depends. In any case, my original statement still stands, well produced and great guitar tone.
