Hate to break it to you, but that's not Akerfeldt on the Bloodbath vocals. That's the guy they brought on to replace him on the second album before he came back. Good tune nonetheless.WrongSprite said:
Why aren't you a vocal one.

Yeah, I remembered that it was Tagtgren a while ago, I've since edited it to Mock the Cross.omniscientostrich said:
Well, after the food poisoning thing his voice hasn't been as good. The only thing I wish he could do was hit the lower notes better. It always sounds weird to me when he does which is probably why Portnoy used to do a lot of it.Lerxst said:
Morrissey for sure!
Though I have to agree with whomever said Johnny Craig and Matt Berninger they are both amazing.

I really enjoy Dero from Oomph! He is a very versatile singer and I can feel his passion when he sings. Not only that, but he writes a vast majority of their songs and plays the drums for the band. Whenever they do music videos or concerts, they have to have a stand in to play the drums so he can sing.

These are German songs but the links are to videos with English translations.

There are a great many wonderful vocalists I'm familiar with that are worthy of recognition in a thread like this, but as those who know how my mind works will tell you, there's really only one answer I could possibly give: Jorn Lande. Essentially my internal hierarchy of vocalists has two categories - people who are Jorn Lande, and everyone else; he's not at the top of a list because he transcends that list entirely.
Wow. So I was listening to that video while browsing other tabs, and when the vocals came in I had two thoughts: 1) "Ohmygod that's Russell Allen," and 2) "Ohmygod there is someone else in the world who can sing like Russell Allen?" Excuse me while I go listen to everything this man has ever done.Gildan Bladeborn said:
In the meantime, let me leave you guys with some music. Here are two of my favorite vocalists in the world (Russell Allen and Floor Jansen) singing a duo:
And I also like to use these threads to plug really talented but unknown singers. Here's Magali Luyten being a huge showoff:
And here's Helena Haaparanta showing us why Tacere should really only have one singer:
That might take you a while - the man is ridiculously prolific, since 1994 he's been a lead or guest vocalist with 14 different groups (plus his own solo band) to the tune of 41 albums. You know what the best part of that song I posted is though? It's from the 3rd Allen/Lande album The Showdown - a side project put together by Magnus Karlson from Tribal Fear, so titled because it features the vocal talents of Jorn Lande and Russell Allen. Something tells me you might want to start your musical voyage there, given the whole "There's a band that has both those guys in it?!!" angle.[footnote]And since you weren't aware of that particular side project apparently, I would be remiss not to mention that Allen is one of the 4 vocalists that make up the Star One project (along with none other than Floor Jansen), just in case you didn't know that already.[/footnote]Veret said:
In case you encounter any difficulty differentiating between their voices, Allen is singing on the first verse and Jorn on the second. At this point in my life I wouldn't ever confuse the two of them, but back when I first heard Allen/Lande I didn't realize it was two vocalists (Pandora mistakenly uses the bio from Allen's Atomic Soul solo album), and when I did get around to looking at an accurate biography of the band I still couldn't actually tell them apart - it took myriad repetitions through The Battle to learn that trick.
Beautiful Sin is a pretty sweet band, I've been a fan for a while, and I can't say enough good things about Floor Jansen and Russell Allen (or Sir Russell Allen as Arjen Lucassen always credits him when he records stuff on one of his projects). Can't say I'm familiar with Helena Haaparanta though, I shall have to give that song a listen once I've finished my repeat journey through Avantasia's "Wicked trilogy" (the latter two albums featuring vocal contributions from both Allen and Lande, with Lande performing on almost every track - yay!).Veret said:
Rammstein's Till Lindemann. I love the deep voice he has. Even if I didn't have an interest in the language, I'd still listen due to that.
What's this I see? A question I am more than equipped to answer? Huzzah!Mr Fixit said:
[small]I'm assuming here that when you say "like Lacuna Coil", you mean that you're looking for a combination of clean male vocals with clean female vocals - if you expand that out to include female vocals paired with growling though I could make this a much longer list, heh.[/small]

Say hello to Beseech, a band that fit your criteria before it split up (to form two different bands):
[hr]
Delain doesn't have a regular male vocalist, but both their albums have so far featured male (and in the case of the first album, female) guest vocalists singing along with their vocalist Charlotte:
This particular track has Marco from Nightwish (and Tarot).[hr]
Nightwish on the other hand does have a regular male vocalist along with their female lead vocalist (though they don't sing together on necessarily every track):
[hr]
Edenbridge doesn't technically feature a male vocalist performing in tandem with their female lead, but it does use male backing vocals so often that it amounts to that in the end!
[hr]
Here's a band with three lead vocalists - Satyrian:
[hr]
Theatre of Tragedy is that group that essentially pioneered the "Beauty and the Beast" sub-genre within female-fronted Metal - later albums though feature male vocals throughout that, while not quite what you might term 'singing' per se, are not harsh vocals either:
[hr]
Therion has been on an extended "Rock Opera" kick for 5 albums or so, and as such has multiple male and female vocalists singing on any given track:
[hr]
Tristania originated as a very complex and operatic Gothic Metal outfit - their work always featured some combination of clean male vocals and female vocals, but the earlier stuff skewed heavily towards harsh vocals. Their most recent album though consists almost entirely of clean singing throughout:
[hr]
And lastly we have Visions Of Atlantis, another band that combines male and female vocals throughout their songs:
People will probably raeg at me for this, but I think Davey Havok of AFI has a good voice.
Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio is another for me. Can't be bothered posting vids.

Predictably, my favorite vocalist is Serj Tankian. Mainly because he has possibly the best range I have ever seen someone sing. From fast-paced metal singing, to screaming, to opera sounding vocals to incredibly high pitched.
