Bell and his range is the reason there's been a noticeable increase in female metal vocalists over the years.

or we could really try rocking the boat and say - MINISTRY.
Deftones are quite a bit older but the Korn debut actually came out a few months earlier (1995) if memory serves me right.

Certainly from the industrial side, both Fear Factory and especially Ministry would be great contenders
