It's been a while since Hearse's band survivor died down, and I think it's time for another survivor. What better than a vote off poll for metal vocalists? First I thought this should be posted on Opeth board for maximum publicity, but most of the people were coming from other boards to defend their own bands anyway, so I thought this could be good chance to stir things up in the DT board...
Anyway, if you feel this is a good idea, speak, and also make suggestions for who should go on the poll.

Some of my suggestions:
Peter Tagtregn
Mikael Åkerfeldt
Anders Friden
Dan Swanö
Angela Gossow
 
Do it have to be only "growlers"?

Here are some suggestions of vocalists that rocks:

Bruce Dickinson
Mikael Stanne
Ronnie James Dio
Michael Kiske
Mathew Barlow
Rob Halford
Eric Adams
Aaron Stainthorpe
Tarja Turunen
Tomas Lindberg
Hansi Kurch
Dani Filth
and the one in Dimmu Borgir
 
I don't think growlers and 'normal' singers should be in the same poll.

Two good death metal vocalists:
Johan Lindstrand (The Crown)
Johny Wranning (Ebony Tears)
 
Don't forget Mikael Stanne :p

And better to write the band next to their name.

And Taneli Jarwa too.
 
I'll just give some support to my favourite vocalist:
Hansi Kursch (Blind Guardian)

And add:
Anneke Van Giersbergern(spl?) (The Gathering)
Vibeke Stene (Tristania)
Chuck Billy (Testament)
 
add this ones to list:

Alexi "WildChild" Laiho (CoB)
Jocke Göthberg (dimension zero)
the guy from soilwork
kimberly goss (sinergy)

non-growler: timo kotipelto (stratovarius)
 
Hmmm... like Hearse's survivor I think this should only include black/death metal bands, so only vocalists that have growled can apply...

Garm
Ihsahn
Dead
Ic Vortex
Vintersorg
Shagrath
Silenius
 
may i just stress that you ought to specify the band? i can't really remember a single singer's name except mikael stanne and anders friden, and i sure am not into black metal. to vote off i'd just dload some stuff from the bands i don't know, but i'd rather like not having to look up the vocalist's name first. ;)

edit: oh, and let me add i'd also like a survivor starring (metal, if you like ;) ) non-growlers, sooner or later. :)

rahvin.
 
may an outsider suggest to leave out typical female vocalists, because it's supposed to be about METAL vocalists and not excited angels, feverish bitches and sophisticated deities :D :heh: (you could make another survivor for these vocal expressions...)

and for the list, I'd have some suggestions as well:

Matte Andersson (Godgory)
Nick Holmes (Paradise Lost)
War D. (Alastis)

the most important vocalist however, was already mentioned by another person :D
