Death Metal

Chris Reifert (Autopsy) - Disgusting twisted throaty possessed vocals...

Jason Mendonça (Akercocke) - No, I am not picking him because he is Portuguese...his growls are insane and his clean vocals are way above average for a Death Metal vocalist.

Leon Macey (Mithras) - Morbid Angel tripping on LSD.

Three for now, I will post more tomorrow.

Some more.

I like:
Rob Halford with Judas Priest
Bruce Dickinson with Iron Maiden
Ian Gillan with Deep Purple
Tarja Turunen with Nightwish
Also Ozzy Osbourne and Eric Adams from Manowar I like but not as much as those mentioned above.

These I like most.
Have not voted, because Tarja is not on the list.

Another one that deserved to be on the list. Steele was known for his massive booming voice.

I regard these as some really great performances:

Tony Martin has an amazing and powerful and meaty singing voice.

Anthony Philip Harford (born 19 April 1957), better known by his stage name Tony Martin, is a heavy metal vocalist, best known for his time fronting Black Sabbath, initially from 1987 to 1991 and again from 1993 to 1997. Martin was the band's second longest serving vocalist after Ozzy Osbourne. He has since been involved in many other projects (such as M3, Misha Calvin, The Cage, Giuntini Project, and Phenomena).

Despite performing almost exclusively as a vocalist, Martin is a multi-instrumentalist, stating in an interview that he plays guitar, bass, drums, violin, keyboards, harmonica, bagpipes, and pan pipes. On his 2005 solo album Scream, Martin performed vocals, bass, drums, violin and additional guitar parts.

Tony Martin in the Black Sabbath in the videos below. Eargasmic! \,,/ He's definitely one of the Gods of Metal... up there with Dio, Bruce Dickinson, Lemmy, Ozzy, Axl Rose, etc.

Cristina Scabbia... often on the front covers of metal magazines and considered as one of the Goddesses of Metal. Those powerful wails.

Great live singer too. \,,/

She also gives great acoustic perfomances too.... whether she sings in English or Italian.

In terms of unique artistic credibility, I'd give that to Marilyn Manson and Aaron Stainthorpe. Tairrie B. is the original scream queen metal vocalist in the dark metal band of My Ruin... ('she's got the scream to heal many wounds.') .. and Varg Vikernes is a great black metal vocalist and musician. I also love the deep voices of Aaron Stainthorpe in the unique English death-doom metal band My Dying Bride... and also the vocalist in the Portuguese dark metal band Moonspell.

Many truly Epic frontmen on that list my friend, but in terms of vocal power/range I'd probably pick the Croatian legend Milijenko Matijevic (aka Mike/Mili Matijevic) from Steelheart ! Scary stuff !
