Your fave Metal Language for singing?

No matter how many bands have you heard by this language or the fact that you can't understand it,which is your favourite one?

Personally i think the Czech language although i don't understand it.It sounds so cool.Bands like Master's Hammer,Titanic,Loretta,Puls and many more prove it.Generally i don't like so much when English are singed by bands which is their mother language(ex.Us,English...bands).

English shouldn't have been included. I voted for French. It's not the most metallic one, but those distinctive French melodies fit perfectly with the language, most of French metal tunes i've heard flow without the smallest problem.

Third choice would be Spanish and Portuguese, but only when the bands play pure ballsy metal, not fuckin' generic Priest/AC/DC hybrids. You know, Luzbel, Megaton, Gillman, Arkangel, Dhak etc.

Polish and Swedish sound very metal to me as well.

But what i really can't stand is English with Greek accent on most of the cases...

I go for Spanish, but only (like John said) when it's pure filthy metal like Muro, Retrosatan, Luzbel, Su Ta Gar, Harrpia, Azul Limao and lots more. Those bands play heavy metal with so much energy and dedication and the language gives them that extra to make it a listening experience you'll never forget. It's pure bonecrushing heavy metal all the way...

I voted for Polish, but I have to say that I like every east european language.

It's like those languages are just made to use in metal.
I think it's the way the pronounce the words.
I always love the vocals in east-european metal. Without wanting to be insulting, east european languages sound so barbaric, which is great for metal.

I don't know that many bands singing in east european languages.

I do know some Spanish bands and like the people above me said, I love the pure filth most too. Kudos go to South American bands singing in Spanish/ Portuguese.

But my favorite singing languages are French and Japanese(English too, but I'm not counting that one). I voted for Japanese because it's my favourite language in general and it sounds more metal.

I would say : Japanese, French, Czech.

Excluding English - Hungarian, In the late 80's they had a fare few bands playing perfect Speed Metal with Hungarian vocals so it had to be my pick. Though it really differs from band to band I can find bands from all these that much one and other.

I'd say spanish because of the emotion that all these South-American bands carried. RESISTENCIA, V8, etc. Spanish bands themselves aren't usually that remarkable on this point IMO.

I'll add russian for the beauty it carries. Russian HM band aren't usually that heavy, but they carry such emotion I've never found in another language.

For "evil" Metal, czech is and always remains the best one IMO. But some bands that sing in spanish do such a good job too. See for a recent example BEMDESAR from Bolivia.

Su Ta Gar sing in Basque, not Spanish!

As for me, my favorite languages for Metal:
Malaysian, Hungarian, Basque, Greek...
Spanish of course, but it's my mother toungue...

The consistency & quality of the French bands does it for me vocally

I am intoxicated with English so much that I am sure there's no help. On the other hand I didn't pay much attention to the non-Engish language products.

Edit: I should have done profound research. But when? ...

Polish, Russian, Czech, anything from our east-European Slovanic brothers

After English of course! ('cause I can understand it!)

I went for spanish. Not only do I love quite a few spanish speaking bands (V8, Resistencia, Tarkus etc.), but there's something hard, edgy, perhaps even primitive maybe about the language that makes me dig it, even though I don't understand squat.
