Mikael Akerfeldt - Opeth AND Bloodbath.

Matti Karki - Dismember.

Whoever the hell did the vocals for Entombed's "Clandestine" album. It wasn't who was listed on the album credits.

And of course, Dan Swanö, for Moontower.

'

It was Nicke Andersson who did the vocals on Clandestine. And yes, the Clandestine vocals rules! Other great growlers:
Jörgen Sandström (Project Hate, ex Grave)
Johan Lindstrand (The Crown)
Michael Nicklasson (Luciferion)
Dan Swanö
Mike Åkerfeldt

after him Dan in the spectral sorrows and then Johnny from Unleashed

Lindberg is great, but in my oppinion he´s a screamer, not a growler.

I forgot Stanne and I shall add Vorph in the Passage album

Seems that everyone likes Stanne. I thought he's more a screemer than a growler.
The best growler for me is still Masse Broberg from the first 2 Hypocrisy albums. Now he turned to a screemer in his new band Dark Funeral I think. What a waste of talent.
But I don't listen to much of that kind of music nowadays. I'm getting old.

Here's a bit of an old Hypocrisy song. That were the old times, when not everything was perfect on an record....

His voice is really unique, don't you think?

Mikael Åkerfeldt.

Mikael Stanne and Dan Swanö are close seconds, and it really depends on my mood. I love all 3 of their growls a lot. I can't wait to see DT live. Then I will have seen all 3 vocalists.

Akerfeldt will always be my favorite growler...

Good call, Ormir.

 

[Death Opeth]

1. Mikael Akerfeldt
2. Dan Swano




Those are my favorites..........from Euro....

Thomas AG Jensen of Saturnus.
The best growler out there. imo. If you listened to Martyre, you'll know what I mean.

Tomi Koivusaari of Amorphis were also great, on Tales and Elegy albums.

You're right Stanne is more screamer than growler, growling is more of doom, slow music.

Though Akerfeldt is also great, maybe the best out there AT THE MOMENT. The vocal production of Deliverance is unbelievable.

shite, I forgot to mention Vorph of Samael on Passage also. The opening tune of pulsing bass in Rain and his creepy voice over it changed my childhood 4ever ...

Stanne is definatly a growler since Projector (or the last five years). And the vocal production on Bloodbath is much better than on Deliverance in my opinion.

 

[Syndrome]

i changed my mind..
Swanö is the best

@Melancholia: Yup, sweden got the best singers

 

[Siren]

Mikael Stanne it is for me.
