Anything really so long as the vocalist can hold their own against someone like Daniel Gildenlow and Jeff Buckley in terms of range, emotive-ness, and versatility.

:D
 
Bah, I already know his work and while he is a great vocalist he isn't quite what I'm looking for.
 
Mathias Blad from Falconer is a great vocalist, he isn't exactly what I was looking for but he isn't a bad choice.

Heri from Tyr is pretty good, has a pretty unique voice.

The dude from Hammerfall pisses me off for some reason.

Hel's vocalist was pretty good too :D
 
Vintersorg
Borknagar
Cronian

Why does is always have to be Black Metal man? I'm not sure about Cronian, but I don't think he's looking for anything near that style.

Symphony X's vocalist Russell Allen has a great range & has a great voice. I don't know for sure how familiar you are with them. "The Divine Wings of Tragedy" is a great album which is well followed by "The Odyssey"... Tom Englund of EverGrey is a decent enough clean vocalist, but I don't think he has the range of Gildenlöw... I don't even like Gildenlöw... Yngwie had a lot of great singers, but we're getting into shreddy Power Metal territory & I'm not sure if you're into that. Jeff Scott Soto, Mark Boals & Goran Edman are all killer singers.

What kind of music are you looking for specifically?? I can't watch your video now.


Also, what would be a good introduction to Buckley??
 
Tad Morose. Their vocalist calls himself Urban Breed, which sounds like a rapper, but he's pretty damn good. Check out Matters Of The Dark.

Wow! You set the bar pretty fuckin' high! Jeff Buckley is amazing.

Is Mike Patton and his various bands too obvious? Interestingly, Puciato of Dillinger Escape Plan is turning into quite a Patton-clone - which is pretty good imo.
 
I'm not a trained vocalist, but Øyvind Hægeland from Spiral Architect seems to fit what you are looking for. He sounds very much similar to Buddy Lackey from Psychotic Waltz, but I prefer Hægeland over Lackey.
