Best Microphone for Melodic/Clean Metal Vocals

[AmazingKong]

It has been an uphill battle in smaller rehearsal spaces and clubs battling in my Band to be heard at times. The SM58 doesn't cut it, I know the SM58 beta is substantially better, but what are the best options?

My main concerns are clarity and low feedback.

Thus far, I'm leaning towards the AKG D5, Electro-Voice N/D767 and Electro-Voice N/D967

 

[AmazingKong]

anyone?

 

[punkrockacademyfightsong]

perhaps a sennheiser 945 or 955? they are hypercardioid and give a lot of clarity from what i've heard of them

 

[DrGleason]

I have heard good things about the Shure SM7B.

 

[Kadmium]

I've heard great things about the Audix OM7, as far as feedback avoidance goes.

 

[Kazrog]

I use an Audix OM8 live. Very happy with it, I go direct with it, no processing needed.

 

[Metaltastic]

I have heard good things about the Shure SM7B.

Hahahahahah, live? That I'd love to see

 

[AmazingKong]

Hahahahahah, live? That I'd love to see

That much I know

I wouldn't exactly be able to use that live.

I wonder which mic Howard Jones from Killswitch Engage uses.
