The "black/death metal" take on the word "vocals". A form of vocalization used in extreme genres of heavy metal, ranging from a low unintelligible growl in death metal to a raspy shrieking found in black metal. Variations of black and death metal, such as melodic death metal also use this form of lyrical vocalization (one can't really label it as "singing" because of its nature).

Vokills are not to be confused with simply shouting or screaming into the microphone; the utterances have an otherwordly quality, being used for meaningful invocation and representation of atmosphere rather than just "shock factor".
Abbath's vokills really rocked on Immortal's "Sons of Northern Darkness"!

vokillist 

the front man of a metal band, typically identifiable by a third grade vocabulary, a general inability to enunciate the limited vocabulary, and a complete lack of any talent.
We had an add out looking for a singer for the band, but all we kept getting were inquiries from a bunch of damn vokillists.

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
