Top 5 Metal Singers

And besides, not all death metal bands utilize the scream only. Especially Melodeath bands.

Take Christian Alvestam for example.. he does both clean singing and growling synchronously. Or Chester Bennington of Linkin Park (nu metal band, but uses clean singing and screaming). Both vocalists are extremely good, if not better than the studio version, when they perform live.
Most bands with a lesser degree of talent however utilize two vocalists.

Melodeath

Is that yet another in the long list of ridiculous and pointless metal sub-genres?

ie. At The Gates, In Flames, Amon Amarth, Scar Symmetry

I just don't like it, just noise, nothing else. Who cares if someone can do it correctly, it still sucks.

Well if it is noise, it's noise I doubt even you could pull of and maintain without being boo'ed off the stage.

I dislike Rap and Hip Hop but I don't deny there's a level of talent in what they do.

Shows how much of a musical genius you are, kid.

Seriously, note to everyone: Don't bother trying to talk to this guy. He's a naive little brat who thinks he knows it all.

Listen to this song (don't worry, it's not noisy music)..
Without the growls, do you honestly think this song would be better than it is without them?

I've heard of Demon Hunter but never checked 'em out till then, pretty good actually (for a Christian metal band 😉 )

Anyways back on topic, whilst I have alot of respect for Serj Tankian he's not the easiest of vocalists to understand - especially when you listein to early System.

Personally I think Dave Musatine whilst a good guitarist is a mundane singer but then again even in the early, early days of Megadeth they had another singer which goes to show he probably never wanted to be a singer.

Listein to these guys and try telling me this isn't talent, and I at least can understand what he's saying - be it in clean or diry vocal capacity.

👆 love Opeth.

I find it hard to headbang or mosh to any of their songs, though 😂

@occultdestroyer, the growling just isn't my thing, i don't give a shit if it takes alot of skill to perfect it, it still isn't my thing. Okay, Rob yelling is totally different because Rob is ****ing awesome dude.

I retired from music not too long ago, and I used to do Deathmetal screaming. It's really hard to do, especially so many night in a row. I find it hard to concentrate on screaming and playing lead guitar at the same time. Everything is so distracting, but luckily the band and I also played some Ska songs which broke up the usual routine. I have high respect to people who can pull of insane vocals. Skindred's reggae singer can pull some neat stuff in their songs.

Oh this is coming from the guy who hates AC/DC, lame-o

Personally, I do like the 'screamo" music of groove metal bands..and some of the growls of death metal bands.

However, I do appreciate clean vocals.

I'll have to hand it to a lot of the hair bands..most of the lead singers had great voices.

Sebastian Back(skid row)
jani lane(warrant)
lead singer for Steelheart(can't recall his name)

Chris Cornell(Soundgarden)
Eddie Vedder(Pearl Jam)

Well, My favourites metal singers are
5. Serj Tankian
4. Dave Mustaine
3. Bruce Dickinson
2. Ozzy Osbourne and
1. Rob Halford
