tell me about your favorite screamers, growlers, bellowers and snarlers.  here are some of mine:

1. Fireal's mom
2. Trevor Strnad - black dahlia murder:  i absolutely adore trevor's almost-sounding-like-two-completely-different-dude's approach.  his vocals have gotten way better every cd, he just gets more and more variation, clarity and heaviness with every release they've had.  a few good examples are "everything went black" and "virally yours" (his best vocal performance imo) he's really good live too
3. Hernan Hermida - all shall perish: definitely some of the best range i've ever heard in a screamer, maybe it's just how he changes is up so much, but "eradication" and "wage slaves" just show his vocal prowess.  their two new tracks have some awesome vocals from him too.
4. Jonny Davy - job for a cowboy: his vocals on their first EP "Doom" were pretty good, he used to do the pig squeal thing too much on all the songs but number 2, but his vocals on their latest CD "Genesis" are some of my favorite i've ever heard.  his style is so much better now, i love his bellow and when he does his staccato bellow, like in "bearing the serpent's lamb," my favorite song by them vocally.  
5. Mikael Åkerfeldt - Opeth: his growl is really good, really fits the music that they play well.  it can be a tad monotonous, but it's better than a lot of people's.  what makes him stand out to me is his clean vocals, if i may digress somewhat.  definitely one of the best senses of melody i've ever heard in my fucking life.  but his growl is pretty effin heavy too.
6. Chino - one of the first screamers i ever heard, and definitely the first screaming band to ever be by favorite.  just great, you all know already.
7. Dan Weyandt - ZAO: really changes up the vocals (specifically his pitch and amount of snarl) on all their cds, and always keeps it consistently good and heavy.  
8. Schuylar Croom - He Is Legend: his screams on their first two releases were pretty good, but on their latest release, "suck out the poison," he just gets this like whiskey-tinged graveliness that just like chills you to the bone.
9. Nate Johnson - Through the Eyes of the Dead: i love this band, they've been a favorite deathcore band of mine for awhile now, and i was kind of sad when anthony gunnells left, but i was super chapped when nate left after only one album.  his voice is just so deep and heavy, it worked great for their style.  i can totally imitate his vocals in "failure in the flesh" off of malice.  
10. Rody Walker - Protest the Hero: very good variation in his pitches and he's awesome at going from screaming to singing and back again like it's nada.  great range too.
11. Gary Forsyth - Swift:  great hard-soft contrast, especially on "the absolute uncontrollable."  "when people collude" has my favorite vocals by him.

Yeah, I know, but when he does it live it sounds so awesome.

[Crazylegs]

a good line for growling too i guess.

[occipudding]

Dave Owen of Codeseven (when they were a hardcore band) was always a favorite of mine

[alvarezbassist17]

Haha theis, it took you 4 years to put your list together??

My list would still look about the same, gotta add Spencer Chamberlain of Underoath, Randy Blythe and Mathieu "Matt" Paquette (RIP) from Beheading of a King.

Trevor Strnad still tops the list though, by even a greater margin since their last two CDs.  He's fucking great.

Haha, I was just browsing through old threads and found this. Thought I'd contribute.

Gotta add the singer from Black Dahlia Murder to my list. Been going through their albums lately and that dude can scream/growl his guts out. Impressed.
