Favorite and Least Favorite Vocalists?

[Belligerent]

yeah i forgot jonas renske he's good, even his early harsh vox were really good

Im one of the few that doesnt like B.MurderDay or DanceDec.souls. Indeed an amazing voice...its just I like the last 3 releases.

I guess least favorites would be: Dragonforce and anything Powermetal.

Favorite - Renske, Akerfeldt, Benton, Friden (big In Flames fan), Phil Labonte, Chuck Billy

Least favorite - Sean Killian (Vio-lence), Baloff (though he is the best of the three here), Souza (on the later Exodus stuff)

least favorites - anyone that can do pig squeals. i cant stand those. they dont even sound good

Into Eternity is the closest I come to liking powermetal (his vocals are very powermetal at times) but he also sounds like Chuck Schuldiner to me.

 

[As-I-Lay-Dying]

you are right, in some cases it is not music.

No.
The shit that the mainstream would expose to you is usually barely music.
But hip-hop in it's pure form that it was created to be in is actually genius.

I like Danni Filth's vocals, Corey from Slipknot has a decent scream.
