My favorite singers/vocalists:

Here are a list of my favorite vocalists from various genres. I picked the following artists as some of the best vocalists because even if you removed the instrumentals from their songs, their voices alone would still



* Ryan McCombs - SOIL's lead vocalist. He's one of my all-time favorites because he packs raw energy, flaming aggression, a heavy tone, and power into his screams. He seems to fuse various styles and rhythms into his music such as death metal, groove, rock n' roll, hard-rock, thrash metal, etc. This is great for a general audience. When he yells into the mic with such emotion and enthusiasm, it's like he has a point to prove.

* Phil Bozeman - Brutal deathcore vocalist for the band "whitechapel." He screams with such fury whether he's doing low-pitched screams or high-pitched shrieks. He also changes the speed of his screams and adds variety in his songs. He makes almost every song sound so epic.








* David Draiman - I love his creative chants throughout his songs and the way he changes his voice pitch. He has a certain rhythm quickly paced as if he were rapping and it fits perfectly with the background instruments.









* Marilyn Manson combines many different genres like heavy metal, pop, rock, hard-rock, doom/black metal, and so on. He truly revives the soul of Rock N' Roll through his music which is what separates him from most musicians. He adds gloom, sorrow, but also catchy rhythms in his singing. Overall, i love how he uses his voice to inspire insight into his lyrics and not distract viewers with excessive melodies.










* Lana Del Rey - She does various genres of music most notably Jazz. Unlike the greats (Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, etc.) Lana Del Rey sings with much more melodious power and emotional depth. She also loses herself in almost every track and it is noticeable in her voice.





* Korn's lead vocalist Johnathan Davis carries the torch of styles such as Nu-metal as he is dubbed "the godfather of Nu-metal." What sets him apart from other musicians are his wailing screams and enraged growls. Whether he's screaming or singing, i can tell he puts so much emphasis in the words he wants to express with emotion.
