Favorite Death Metal Vocalists?

[Spiderchrist]

Yes, I love posting threads that require lists. Get over it. Spit out some of your favorite vocalists and their bands. Also, I want to find some great Death Metal bands with unique style vocals. Share!

I love Akerfeldt(sp?) from Opeth as he's one of the few i've heard you can do good clean and growled vocals.

Also the guy from Draconian is probably my favorite pure harsh vocalist in death metal.

Burton from Fear Factory did an excellent job with growled/clean vocals on Soul Of A New Machine. He's actually considered the first to do so.

He did OKAY with it. Nothing like Opeth. More of a metalcore shout-sing and a bark.

Far as I'm concerned, you can't top the highs/lows and articulation of Corpsegrinder.

Glen Benton
Mary Goore

Antti Boman is easily my favorite. Just so damn weird.

Bob Seger...?

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

and what do all these vocalists have in common? they all use death metal vocals in their music! lol.

according to some on this forum 'there's no such thing as death metal vocals'. LOL that still makes me laugh and it was a while ago when i argued about it in the controversial opinions thread.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

What?

 

[SomeGuyDude]

LOL I remember that. There was a big argument at one point that "there is no such thing as death/black vocals", claiming that vocals don't make the music or some nonsense.

IIRC that wasn't the argument. The argument was that vocals alone do not define a sub-genre of metal, and that band-of-ambiguous-genre-x (say, Opeth) is not inherently a death metal band just because they happen to feature death metal vocals in their music.

Case in point.

van Drunen and Lord Worm for me. And the Akercocke guy, although more because of his breadth of styles than the death metal vocals alone.

 

[morguelord]

Lol someone was paying attention! Kudos on catching Bob Seger hahaha

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

van Drunen, Schuldiner, Lemay and Mullen.
