I'm going to spit out the standard ones. Tom Araya on Angel of Death. Lots of Nile ones, especially on AotW. The way George screams Suffer, and Kill, on the songs Make Them Suffer and Time to Kill is Now, respectively, are really badass. Oh, and the last Die on They Deserve to Die. Phil Anselmo/Seth Putnam for their screams at the beginning of The Great Southern Trendkill, the entire song Suicide Note Part 2, and the scream after the calm part of (Hell's Wrath) Living Through Me.

Forgot a couple more that may or may not have been already mentioned. Steve Tucker at the beginning of He Who Sleeps. God I fucking love that. And good old Chris Barnes screaming Maggots! in Skull Full of Maggots.

As far as bad ones. I hate Dani Filth and Lord Worm, so probably the vast majority of their screams. Dani's too high, Lord Worm is just annoying.

Fuck it, I could go all day on this shit.

I don't really like Cryptopsy in general. I've listened to None So Vile and And Then You'll Beg, and out of the two albums, the only songs I can really tolerate are Slit Your Guts and Orgiastic Disembowelment, and the only reason I really like OD is because of the slower riff towards the middle and the end of the song.

Maybe it's strange that I hate Worm and like Barnes, but a lot of that is because I like CC's music, and don't want to shut it off immediately after it starts, which is normally the case with Cryptopsy.

Well, Cryptopsy are my favorite band. But yeah, besides the point. CC are good, but Chris Barnes is the shittyest fucking metal vocalist ever, even worse then Mike DiSalvo in my opinion. I mean come on, the cunt whispers! but yeah, I don't want to start anything so..


chris barnes is a faggot

As for some bad screaming (more like pathetic shouting), I think some of the GHUA album from Slayer had some pretty lousy screams. On War Zone, more specifically (kind of a sucky song in my opinion anyway), Tom sounds like he can't even hear himself. Too high and obviously off-tone. Annoying. Like a kid screaming in a candy store. And I know most of you will say Diabolus In Musica was a bad album, but I liked it (Bitter Peace, Overt Enemy, In The Name Of God, Point -- I mean come on, there were plenty of good ones). I thought his screaming/shouting on that album was better than GHUA, although at times it was close to being the same. But then there's the moany shit he pulled, if I remember correctly, in the verse of Desire. Ugh. Sounds like he's drunk and molesting a goat. Other than that, though, it was musically and vocally a pretty decent album. Still, he did better with the lower almost growly type of style with earlier to mid-career releases. I have noticed, though, live he's got a pretty deep and rich voice. He can't do the power metal shrieks anymore, but certainly some badass screams and shouts.

May I add Nathan Gearhart from Vehemence to the Best list...as well as the bassist..Mark Kozuback.. for the high pitched back up vocals.

I may have said before but:

Jason Mendonca from Akercocke for Best.

And

Chris Barnes for worst. I really just dont like his vocals at all.

The best scream EVER is Seth (from AxCx) or the guy from Flesh Parade.

I fucking love Seth's screams.

__________________

Yeah, I would have to agree. He never gets boring to listen and his Cookie Monster is fucking brutal. I've learnt how to do it as well. I sing along with Enraptured By Evil seamlessly now.
His plain singing is excellent, that low, resonant style that I love so. Also something I'm learning. Kicks the shit into the metalcore and emo squeakers.

Chris Barnes, yeah. His voice has descended into a joke. I have been driven into hysterics by that bit in Knife, Gun And Axe: "Ee-ee ee-ee eee ee-ee! Aa-aa aa-aa aaa aa-aa!"

Chris Barnes' high screams in the Moscow video where too badass.

Mikael Stanne from Dark Tranquillity has really cool voice

Mike Disalvo isn't really death metal type of vocalist but he did a pretty good job with And Then You'll Beg. But I woulda like the crack-addict spaz vocals of Lord WOrm to be in that album.

Lamb Of God's vocalist is fucking intense live, great stage presence too.

At The Gate's vocalist in Slaughter Of The Soul was amazing.

Akercocke have some good vocals too, their screams are sick as hell and so are their clean vocals and inhaled growls in Chronozon.

Lord Worm was fucking sick in Ungentle Exhumation.

My buddy Uffe formerly from Stabwound was fucking sick; he had one of the best range of vocals in the underground death metal scene.

Last but not least my good friend Chop (Dillon) from Excretion; one of the sickest vocalists to make Squeels with an exhaled technique (thats fucking hard to do) and his known technique to sound like Donald Duck, The Predator, and a Fat Mexican Frog in his recordings.

Very true. But he still was on death metal albums. It would have been better if say Martin Lacroix (None So Live) was on DiSalvo's albums instead of DiSalvo.

__________________

I dunno... And Then U'll Beg was a very spazzy and fast album and with Lord Worm's vocals it would of sounded more chaotic and spontaneous.

Lacroix is an allright vocalist but, still Lord Worm is what really gave Cryptopsy their sound.

Oh for sure, but I still could see Lacroix on those albums
