+This thesis presents a method of detecting \emph{singing}-voice segments in non
+standard music genres. Growling singing voices have different acoustic
+characteristics compared to regular singing voices. This research uses existing
+\emph{singing}-voice detection techniques on extreme styles like \gls{dm} and
+\gls{dom} and achieves a good performance. \emph{Singer}-voice recognition and
+detection has also been attempted with similar positive results. This forms a
+strong base for attempting lyrics synchronization and lyrics recognition in
+extreme music styles.
