I want to find newer bands with unique and powerful singers that don't sound phoned in. I made a short list of the type of singers that I like best.

John Arch (Fates Warning)
Robert Lowe (Solitude Aeturnus)
Scott Reagers (Saint Vitus)
Johan Längquist (Candlemass)
King Diamond (Mercyful Fate)

As for the music, nothing that sounds too modern. If they sound like a natural descendant of the above bands, that would be even more desirable to me. Thanks.
 
Go listen to Akerpenis.

They're British, they wear suits, and they play Death Metal better than the Americans. What's not to like?

Oh and I'm sure you've already heard this Elric, but I always thought Iced Earth's first album was a great example of metal vocals done right (random screams and howls, approximation of melody, etc):

 
Iced Earth kind of blows.

If you don't like John Arch and Mike Scalzi, I'm not sure that you can recommend the type of singers that I'm after.
