I think it might help me if you could try to explain further what about the vocals in metal bothers you.

For example is it something about too much over-the-top virtuosity in the vocals like too operatic/cheesy in that sense?

Are the lyrics playing a larger part in making them sound cheesy to you?

I was a little bit surprised in how you seem to like the harsh vocals in Rotting Christ's, and Sigh's songs, (or at least tolerated them better) compared to Persuader's more melodic approach. I guess I thought you would prefer Persuader's vocals as you seemed to express a dislike with the Death/Black Metal vocals, so I thought Persuader's Power Metal style would sound better to you, or maybe it's just the way Persuader's vocalist specifically sung on that song?

Anyways here's another song with what I'd call Power Metal vocals, that I think you may like.

Here's a song you may like, I'm a bit more unsure but hopeful with this one. It has harsh Black Metal like vocals.

I've mostly chosen these two songs to kinda try to get a better picture of what you dislike about various metal styles' vocals.
