I've read emcees from Turkmenistan insisting Uighur works better than Mandarin because it works like English in terms of syllables, and isn't tonal - I wonder if the same is true of Korean.

Any language works for black metal.

I guess it depends on how melodic a language is, whether tone carries meaning, like in mandarin, or whether it has diphtongs that can be atretched easily, like english. German has neither, but it's not a great language for melodic singing, at least, not as great as english. the consonant heavy stakkato is great for rap, though.

I'm not into hiphop, but this one blows me away anyway:
