Best voice in metal?

[anaemia]

Simone Simons from Epica for pure talent as a soprano and Dio for pure epicness.

 

[sevag00]

Schmier.
Peter Tagtgren.

 

[SWAT]

I wish people wouldn't just say the name of the singer, say the band as well, a lot of the bands I listen to I don't know the names of the singers.

 

[Vimana]

Robert Lowe - Solitude Aeturnus

 

[supseudonymous]

Halford, Diamond & Messiah

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Hansi Kirsch, Russell Allen, & Awake era James LaBrie.

 

[Gold]

halfords a faggot. literally and figuratively

 

[CF87]

Cristina Scabbia without a doubt.

 

[Bitencourt29]

Akerfeldt - Opeth, Bloodbath
Nemtheanga - Primordial
Mortuus - Marduk

For clean vocals, Hansi (Blind Guardian) and Bruce Dickinson.

Lulz.

I do have a huge thing for the chick's voice on the Stream of Passion album though. She's kinda/sorta generic sounding, but her voice gives me the chills.

 

[~Derek~]

Chris Barnes for Death Metal
Ihsahn, Satyr, Shagrath, and Dani Filth for Black Metal.

I seem to be in the minority on this, but Nergal's layered voxx on Demigod were insanely fucking badass.

 

[rms]

mark shelton

 

[cannibal corpse]

^ They were, indeed.

Conquer All is, too me, the essence of badass, tbh. Fucking ill riff (yes, stolen from anthrax) with those beastly vocals coming in, killer drumming, etc. The only song that I'll play at dangerously high volumes. Unfortunately they kinda butchered it when I saw them live (or maybe the sound people did; it wasn't even recognizable until the chorus).

+1 to Nergal, especially on Demigod. Slaves Shall Serve, especially the opening, and Before Aeons Came are way too awesome.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

You just want her to sit on your face.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Malefic

 

[Gold]

not the best but travis ryan is really underrated. anyone who's seen him live should be able to respect him as a vocalist and as a complete psycho

Meh... she has a generic, overproduced voice. Check out Epica or Angtoria for some talented female metal singers. They wipe the floor with Cristina Scabbia, then shit on her face.
