I searched for a similar thread but anyone falling even distantly close is either too old or too vague.

Who are your favourite vocalists genre/style-wise?

Mine would be:

Black Metal Shrieks: Roman Saenko(Drudkh/Hate Forest), Grutle Kjellson(Enslaved) and Nortt(Nortt) are both quite near perfect for me, but Quorthon(Bathory) beats them all.

Death/Doom Metal Growls: Guillaume(Gorod) and Mikael Åkerfeldt(Opeth).

Clean Vocals: Layne Staley(Alice in Chains).
