What even is "clean instruments"? Standard tuning and no blast beats?

doomy/stonery on the rare times I'm in a metal mood but don't care about vocals, basically as close to or inspired by Master of Reality and the first Black Sabbath album as possible

I asssumed, in terms of vocals, the clean and rough meant like....iron maiden is clean vocals, sing songy words, and like dethklok kinda growly on the rough side?

I disregarded screamo from all consideration

I chose rough vocals, clean instruments, but even then, I need the vocals to have a discernible quality to them. Growling like you're trying to eat the mic isn't appealing to me.

Edit: oh, you consider distortion as rough instruments? Then I like clean vocals/rough instruments. I only like a little bit of distortion, though. Distortion level like on Pantera's Walk.

^I guess it's up to your interpretation of what rough and clean are since pretty much all metal is distorted to some degree. It's kind of one of the distinguishing pillars. But I would definitely consider Iron Maiden to be cleaner and Cannibal Corpse to be Ruff Stuff. If it's somewhere in between there use your best judgement.

I don't care for Cookie Monster type vocals or screaming your way through every song. That's my main gripe with a lot of metal music. I'm like "Damn, this is incredibly technical and impressive.. if only I could mute the vocals so I could enjoy it" lol.

Generally clean for the most part on average. Vocals moreso than the music. There's a few heavy songs I dig though, but they're few and far between. I just have a low tolerance for real heavy stuff, but if it's good, I'll listen.

Traditional and thrash are my favorite subgenres.

Oh, absolutely it is. I know guys that have worked for years to be able to pull a lot of that stuff off. I wasn't trying to imply that it doesn't take talent or isn't hard as hell on the vocal cords, just that I don't personally find it pleasant to listen to. It's sort of jarring/unsettling when the rest of the music is otherwise pretty tight. To me it's like the vocal equivalent of an overly distorted/clipping guitar with tons of noisy feedback. Plenty of people dig it but it's not really my thing.

I love the occasional scream, but if the entire song is screaming, it loses its effect for me.

Loud, kick ass and with good melody, and if they have a little bit of bluesy rock to it, even better.

I don't mind some screaming and growling as long as it doesn't take up 90% of the song.

This is a very specific comparison. What have you been doing? And is there any footage of it?
