The vocals are guttural in the rule and not clearly understood, some bands also use distortion pedal for singing. Typical Mathcore songs do not follow any common verse-chorus structure, and vary in length from a few seconds ( very extreme in " The Locust " that the pacing the Grindcore annäherten itself ) up to well over 10 minutes.
