Looking for good new singers in good bands

[Elric of Melniboné]

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.

I assume you're familiar with Slough Feg?

 

[Internally Deformed]

Fates Warning.

Slough Feg

The singers in these bands suck balls. Nasty Savage be pretty cool though:

The day I take your opinions on metal vocalists seriously is the day I blow my brains out for being an idiot. Go listen to Akerpenis.

 

[Internally Deformed]

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):

Whereas the singer on this album sounds like the guys that do the South Park voices:

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

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.

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.

The first two albums rule, but w/e. Listen to Nasty Savage, and if you don't like that I'm out.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

I already know about Nasty Savage.

 

[Internally Deformed]

I already know about Nasty Savage.

...and they're good, right?

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Yes.

 

[Internally Deformed]

Glad we can agree on that. You've probably heard this too, but if not then check it out:

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Briton Rites is good.

 

[Slayed Necros]

 

[CiG]

I don't mind the earliest Iced Earth stuff.

Some bands I'd recommend are:

- Argus
- The Wizar'd
- Realmbuilder
- Slough Feg
- Legendry
- Mausoleum Gate
- Skelator

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

I already know Slough Feg, but I don't think I've heard the others. Thanks.

These guys a pretty new, but I discovered them on youtube and fell in love! They have a similar writing style to memphis mayfire. They have more stuff up on their reverb page. www.reverbnation.com/aliveinthenight

Memphis May Fire suck balls.
