I don't like Black Metal but gothic metal but I voted for Black Metal vocals cuz there is no Gothic Metal. My favorite gothic metal voice is the singer in Grave Worm (Best gothic metal music I have ever seen in my life, even better than Cradle!) and the singer in Cradle of Filth. I never had a thing for Dimmu though. I also like the growls of the singer in Norther and Ensiferum. Children of Bodom and Kalmah are some of my favorite bands but I don't think they have the best vocals. I equally love the Operatic singer in Nightwish from her truly amazing vocals. Oh yea Astriaal is the only Black Metal band I like, almost gothic metal and they are amazing.

Good ones. It doesn't matter if it's growling scratching etc. If it's good i like it. It has to fit the music also.

Death, pig, thrash, and traditional. It was a very easy decision but I eventually made it.

What do you consider Jens Kidman's vocals to be? They are like some hybrid of all vocals. Scream, growl, rasp, probably just his voice.

He's classified as a componet of the best genre :

No genre. He has his own sound.

Pig vox... Is that the 'growls' that sound really low and sickening? Like in the beginning of Cephalic Carnage's Kill For Weed or Benighted's Foetus?

Would Disgorge's vox be considered pig? They sound like someone's putting bleach down a particularly gunked-up drain...

Hmmm, not really. Matti Way era of Disgorge during Cranial Impalement sounded more like "Slither Gutturals" where he placed his tongue on the ceiling gland of his mouth to attain this kind of sound that you're talking about.

Pig vocals can be heard by Guttural Secrete, Nihil Obstat, some Brodequin, some parts from Horsemen Of The Apocalypse.

But if ur talking about Pig Grunts of Pig Gutturals, those will be heard by Sect Of Execration, Infested, and on the latest Malignancy.

Hahahahaha yes. It is. I would have chosen BM vocals but it looks like the poll is closed. The best vocals of all time though is Nuclear Holocausto and Dead. Malefic is in close second though.

Now Spawn of Possession's vocals are incredible

Hey, all of it's cool with me except for female opera vocals and metalcore screaming. I guess brutal DM gutturals beat everything else, but all the other styles rock incredibly hard too

Anything death metal that isn't pigsquealing or overdone gutterals(ie: George Fisher's, Devourment, etc.). Steve Tucker, Erik Rutan, Glen Benton, Peter Wiwczarek and David Vincent are amongst my favorites. I don't like Krisiun's vocalist, so that's a bad example, vocals just vary way too much.

I'm also a big Motorhead fan and like the vocalist from Repulsion, so that kind of rough but slightly melodic singing also rules, like on the I - Between two Worlds album.

Eric Adams is also my favorite genuine singer of all time...

I really like Rhapsody's vocalist and Temnozor's vocalist. The former is like, crazy Italian power metal dude and the latter is over-the-top deep Russian. I love it.

Grunts, screams, male bass/tenor, female alto/soprano, it does not matter to me. As long as the vocalist is good.

Pretty much can take anything aslong as it sounds decent and the guitar is just blasting in the back.

Best singing of all time would be Daniel, Lost Horizon's former singer. Best vocalist ever... Frank Mullen.
