Who are your favorite distorted vocalists?

[Crimson Glory]

Already did a similar thread, but time to narrow it down a bit.

No clean singing, just extreme style of vocals.

For me:

Abbath

George Fisher

Angela Gossow

Naas Alcameth

Chuck Schuldiner

Jari Maenpaa

Muhammad Suicmez

Mikael Akerfelt

I'm not as big a fan of extreme Metal as I used too be, still listen too some, but not as obsessed with it. But these guys all have something special, they do what they do well, like when you enjoy the tone of a clean vocalists voice, these guys have something innate that makes me enjoy them over others.

 

[InvertedCross]

I'm not sure I fully know what distorted means to be honest

 

[FeloniousMonk]

Darby Crash/Bobby pin

 

[Lucifer Alpha]

I prefer the term "cookie monster vocals."

Dan Swano

MIkael Akerfeldt has the most demonic harsh vocals i've heard. Not a fan of Opeth, but his vocal ability is extraordinary.

Spoiler: Opeth - Baying Of The Hounds

Spoiler: Bloodbath - Eaten(Akerfeldt Vocals Live)

Jonas Renkse of Katatonia had a fantastic scream before he lost the ability and nearly ruined his voice.

Spoiler: Katatonia - Without God

Antii Boman of Demilich sounds like he's using effects on his voice, but no. His gargoyle-chewing-a-human-leg sounding voice is all him.

Spoiler: Demilich - The Echo

Their debut album, Nespithe(1993), featured intricate death metal riffs with extremely low, gurgled vocals in the vocal fry register. The album contained long, complicated song titles and unconventional lyrics which were written in code in the booklet. It was featured in Terrorizer's Secret History of Death Metal, in their list of "The 40 Albums You Must Hear"; they commented: "Even trying to scream your lungs out whilst vomiting a mix of Haggis, outdated goat's cheese and kebab won't do. Tested extensively by Terrorizer's scientific team, we can now safely say that no normal human is capable of reproducing the effect-free vocal madness displayed by Antti Boman on these Finns' sole, totally unique, album."
