In a way, I kind of like it how there's an Ultimate Metal 'scene'. Everyone loves Katatonia, Opeth, Bloodbath, Swano, Novembre etc. I wish more of the metal scene in general would recognise some of these bands!

[Tone-Deaf]

I agree with the most who have already posted below me

Jonas Renkse
Warrel Dane [Nevermore]
Mikael Stanne [Dark Tranquillity]
Steven Wilson [Porcupine Tree and a bunch of other side projects]

Also the vocalist of Muse, I know many of you would say that the vocals are gay, but I think it's pretty difficult to sing normally and switch your voice to
such a high tone.

I also agree with the mourner13 about Blindside's vocals.
I think most wouldn't appreciate neither the band nor the vocals , but I love the vocals: loud, aggresive but still clean enough to understand the lyrics.
