I’ve tried to come up with a list several times but I just end up listing every Grunge-era singer I can think of

zim · Post by **zim** » 24 Oct 2021, 04:47

i am awful at any kind of list, any time i see a list thread it just reminds me of how many gaps there are in my musical knowledge

this is a difficult list, so many great vocalists but a lot of them are very similar. this is less of a ten greatest and just a few i like, fuck your requirements

steve from ma is pretty underrated as vocalist i think, super low vocals without sounding like gurgles
hetfield
frank mullen
lord worm
joe duplantier is a great vocalist who can do both screams/clean

I think she’s announcing a new record this Wednesday.

Her set at Roadburn last year was crazy. Johannes from Cult of Luna on guitar and backing vocals, Laura from Kylesa on guitar, and the bassist from Candiria.
