Favorite bands with higher register vocalists...

[Papa Josh]

This thread is for those bands that we all know and love (some of us, anyway), the bands that have that vocalist that just goes for the stratosphere.

Some of mine would include Iron Maiden, of course...

Fates Warning
Helstar
Nevermore
King Diamond
old Flotsam and Jetsam

 

[NAD]

Canned Heat!!!

 

[Nate The Great]

Converge has a pretty high scream.

 

[neal]

nevermore/sanctuary. warrel is my favorite 'clean' singer.
-neal

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Symphony X and Metalium

 

[J.]

Does Devin Townsend count?
Nightingale
The Haunted's debut album (Dolving fucking rules)
A lot fo noisecore that I like (Botch, Cave IN, Drowningman etc.)

THat's about as high pitched as I'll go when it comes to vocals.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

What about Wolverine?

 

[J.]

...and Wolverine. Forgot them

 

[bloodfiredeath]

Confessor
Paradox

 

[JayKeeley]

Geoff Tate on Mindcrime and Empire.
Kiske on Seven Keys pt 1 & 2.
Kai Hansen on Land of the Free.
Ozzy on everything up to No Rest for the Wicked.
Bruce on anything. He is God though.

Funny how perspectives differ as to what constitutes "high register" based on the music you listen to....

Screaming and falsetto should not count in this list. That's technically not a "higher register" I reckon.

Otherwise, is there any higher than King Diamond I ask ya? Nope. None more higher.

"Graaaandmaaaa..."

 

[Papa Josh]

Yeah, I was referring more to the "clean" singers as opposed to guys that just screech into the microphone... take a look at my list and then consider it.

Andre Matos was once described by JimLOTFP as a human dog whistle.

I love Angra, but this comment had me in stitches.

 

[MetalNations]

King Diamond
Edguy
Balance Of Power
Nevermore

Thread Resurrection!!!!!!!!!!! (Hasn't been resurrected since April.)

Jamming Watchtower this morning. Demos with Jason McMaster (who later went on to sing in the more commercial Dangerous Toys). These guys were so fucking technical, yet they thrashed!

Back in the day they played with everybody from Anthrax to Slayer to Helstar to Trouble.

All around good shit.

 

[Demonspell]

Surprised I missed this thread the first time around, all the usual suspects have been mentioned, although in some cases I prefer them in their lower register, especially Ray Alder and Warrel Dane.

Ark
Pain Of Salvation
