i say howard jones and Lars Palmqvist from scar symmetry

I think I'll go with Rody Walker too
though I just listened to Suicide Silence for the first time today and I'd say their vocalist is up there as well, whatever his name is

i think the best metal voice right now is
Randy Blythe (LambOfGod)
Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth)

randy has the brutal voice, and in their newest albums, hes acually hitting notes now.
and Mikael has trained his voice enough that you can understand him, word for word even with his brutal metal scream

Bobby Blitz Ellsworth from Overkill. Nobody tops him in my opinion, his voice has high range, balls, and attitude. Listen to their song, I Hate. Now that is angerier and has much more balls than any of those hardcore/metalcore and contemparary metal bands that are popular today, and he doesn't even need to use ****ty harsh vocals (screams/growls/grunts/pig squeals/etc.) either.

Simon Hestnaes aka ICS Vortex (Arcturus, Dimmu Borgir).

Mikael Åkerfeldt's got my vote.

The guy from Lamb of God is pretty savage I have to say =]

ElephantSack · 06-10-2009, 07:34 PM

The guys at the top of my list:
Tommy Rodgers (BTBAM)
Mike Akerfeldt (Opeth)
Joseph Duplantier (Gojira)
