Fyfe Dangerfield is probably the best vocalist around at the moment. - absolutely amazing.

Sam Beam has a good case though - the emotion he puts into every song is breathtaking. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEID8ynap8w&feature=related[/ame] - sublime.

 

[Hügelgräber]

Cristina Deutekom



Funny hat btw.

I'd say Åkerfeldt and Kai Hansen are if not best, atleast my favorites.

Also I loooove Shagrath's voice.

To me...

Layne Staley

 

[Fyacin]

My favorites right now are Jonas Renske, because he has so much emotion in his voice, Mikael Akerfeldt, for being both totally evil and beautiful at the same tame, Hevy Devy for just being insane, and Damian Wilson, who I think has a really nice and distinctive tone as well as crazy range and power.

[...]Mikael Akerfeldt, for being both totally evil and beautiful at the same tame[...]

Yeah, his dashing looks doesn't exactly reflect his satanic behaviour.

 

[Wander]
