The term Clean Vocals are used to describe melodic and clear singing styles. It is most notably used to refer to metal music, as an alternative to harsh, screamed or growled vocals, as are mainly displayed in extreme metal bands.
Bands can create this contrast in two ways. One way, employed by bands like Opeth or My Dying Bride have one singer produce both harsh and clean vocals. Other bands, such as Cradle of Filth (Although on their most recent release Thornography lead singer Dani Filth can be heard using clean vocals) or The Project Hate employ two singers - one for each style.
Clean Vocals, when referred to in the context of metal music, can range from operatic vocals to simple melodies to harsh yelling, which would only be considered clean vocals when compared to death growls.
