This happened today - Less than 2 hours into a practice for some old school metalhead boomer band,
I'm now the official vocalist & they recorded a practice performance of their song "Seasons Of Blood."
I think my vocals sound like shit but they liked 'em.

How can we improve because we definitely need to...

Find a bass guitarist, have the drummer practice fills and rythm changes with a metronome.
Make sure your vocal technique is up to par so you dont fry your vocal chords.

Rock on dudes!

Well, at least make the drummer practice keeping time and learn some fills. And learn to sing in a manner that wont destroy your voice. There are plenty of tutorials for all different types of growls and shit done in aanner that will protect your voice. Good job tho! I wish i had people to jam with.

Also, can you play an instrument? If not, consider learning the bass guitar. You guys need a little low end and you could always just spam the root note with the tempo and just follow chord changes. Just my $.02.

It's so ironic because the more they do it, the worse they sound.

Don't worry about improving. I've been in a band for 17 years and we haven't improved at all. We still don't have a name and we have been having a blast for every Thursday for 17 years. We never practice and never play a song the same way twice. We jam. Never try to sound like the original artist, try to sound the opposite.
If the song is in major, re-transcribe to minor. Rewrite lyrics to suit.
"I see a beaner and I want to send it back, No coloreds anymore, I want them all sent back.
I see White girls go by dressed in their summer clothes, I see the niggers watch and want them to explode"
You get the idea. Have fun.

I was there man, I saw this show!

We were so lit! The band was off the hook!

Good memories man.

Those were the good old days!

I had too much acid to remember any of it. I do remember the bass player melting into the floor though.

Grunts, grunts. More grunts. Rename song "Blood of Orcs" or something. Or ogres.
Or just don't do this.

You should really look into learning some vocal techniques if you're going to be "singing" that stuff or you're gonna regret it down the road. I don't care for the growly unintelligible lyrics of the genre and I'm not even sure how that became a thing or how anyone could find it enjoyable. That said, it's always nice to see people branching out into new things. Thanks for sharing. And, again, look into some vocal techniques/training before you shred your larynx.

You can improve by replacing all the band members
