you always have this characteristic overtone sound thingy going on, kinda like a gurgly, creaky noise. False cord screaming (the nooby way of screaming, the thing you do when you're angry. also common in "unprofessional" death metal) doesn't have the same aggressive overtone sound (although much louder in volume)

The thing is, it seems like the fry screaming on some studio albums has been processed somehow so that the characteristic overtone sound has been "tamed" and it sounds more like False cord screaming sounds.
I assume that this is because of some kind of processing. 


I should experiment with that. haven't really tried it because I've always thought of distortion as a way of cheating
