Favourite metal vocalists

[Psycroptipath]

sorry to post another "favourite something or other" thread but yeh my top 4 are:
- the Amon Amarth dude, cant find his name anywhere but he's fuckin awesome
- Mikael Akerfeldt - can remember wat band he's from
- Phil Anselmo - Pantera (early vocals were better than these days but he's still awesome)
- Matthew Chalk - Psycroptic (ex vocalist now ) his vocals are absolutely insane.

 

[Ermz]

The Zyklon dude, because his growl voice is so war-like
The Blood Red Throne dude, because he has a way of channeling the growl so that it's all mid-ranged - fantastic.
The Amon Amarth dude, simply for those louder shouted/growl parts because they sound so gutteral and warlike, and fitting to the music itself.
Max Cavalera, back in the old Sep days. He had a way of growling that sounded so natural and not forced like most metal vocalists today.
Darrel from Nevermore. Not normal range, not powermetal range, yet with aspects of both - really good non-growled vocals.

 

[Nuk3m]

Nathan, the ex vocalist from Vehemence, never heard anyone quite as good as him apart from Mike

 

[Hypnos]

Messiah Marcolin - unmatched and amazing
Alan from Primordial - so much passion in his voice
Warrel Dane from Nevermore - evil and twisted without growling
Big Boss from Root - the man of the many styles, from growling to drunken Pavarotti
Mike - excellent clear voice and earthshaking growls

 

[xerexes]

Mike - probably the best vocalist I have ever heard.

Maynard from Tool - his voice gives a nice atmosphere to their songs (some people hate it though)

Warrel Dane from nevermore - superb non-growling vocals

 

[Yoda]

Mike.
George Fisher is nice too.

 

[seigman]

Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth): In my opinion one of the best growlers in the game.
Kristoffer "Garm" Rygg (Ulver): His shrieks are so insane and cold and he has a very nice melancholic voice too. Chambermusic. <3
Maynard James Keenan (Tool): ^

edit: Jacob Bannon (Converge), Ihsahn (Emperor) and Secthdamon (Zyklon).

And probably a whole bunch of others too.

I like Dan Swanö, great growling and clean.

Vincent Cavanagh (Anathema), And not only the clean vocals, I love the vocals on TSE too.
