I'm new to the site but I've been listening to metal ever since my buddy introduced me to metal when I first met him in Wisconsin and he had nothing but metal CDs. Started off with Forever Sets the Sun, and Amity Affliction and it's since branched out quite a bit. However, I'm not a fan of most screaming in metal songs and lately I've been turning away from the screaming altogether even if songs have clean vocals.

So, basically, I'm looking for groups or bands that do most songs as clean vocals or maybe the better way to put it is soft vocals?

To give you guys an idea of what I listen to, here's a list:

Amity Affliction, Issues (Tyler Carter), Hands like Houses, I the Mighty, Emarosa, Crown the Empire, Too Close To Touch, Aaron Gillespie, Landon Tewers/Before Their Eyes/TPIY, The Word Alive (Tyler Smith). Some of the following; Dream on Dreamer, The Color Morale.

Almost all of them have clean vocals that are higher pitched, or vocalists that hit the higher notes. If anybody has recommendations I'd love to hear them.

P.S. I realize that some groups I mentioned do have screaming (like Amity Affliction) but I think I've started to pull away from them because I've been finding bands that are predominantly clean, soft vocals and that sounds so much better to me. Again, I'd love to hear suggestions!
I don't know... I like metal bands without screaming too, but it's harder when I'm considering your particular preferences. You could easily find more yourself if you just want more that sounds just like those emo bands you mentioned (or whatever genre it is), so I'm not sure if that's what you're asking for. I assume it isn't. Here's a few suggestions - all picked to be a bit different from eachother and the bands you mentioned (variety is good):

Leprous

Voyager

Sukekiyo (not really 100% metal, but there's a clear influence. A scream might sneak in here or there, but only because they're so stylistically varied.)

Kobra and the Lotus

King Diamond (you must have heard him already, but here it is)
