Top 10 Progressive Metal Vocalists


Thumbs up: +1
Another one of these, I guess it could be considered a bit of a follow up to the nu metal one, only this time it's for a genre known for it's vocal talent.

1. Devin Townsend
This guy, there is just no containing him. He can scream melodically, and perfectly slip from full operatic singing to pinched screams.
2. Russell Allen
He sings like a metal angel with Symphony X, and like a rocking demon with Adrenaline Mob. Has a immensely powerful voice.
3. Maynard James Keenan
My all time favorite singer, immense emotional and musical range. Only reason he's not at top as he is more of an alt metal singer.
4. Daniel Gildenlöw
His voice is absolutely beautiful and has a wide range, he really delivers when he builds up to a scream.
5. Daniel Tompkins
Of all of Tesseracts many vocalists, Daniel Tompkins is the only one to have filled the role twice, and is the fan favorite.
6. Kyo
His vocals may be even more eclectic than Dir En Grey's music, and he certainly got it down when Dir En Grey started doing more progressive metal.
7. Mikael Åkerfeldt
His clean vocals, while beautiful, are a bit weak compared to others here, but man can he growl.
8. Rody Walker
He manages to keep composure while singing chaotically to match the progressive metalcore band's music, both pretty and hard rockin
9. Zachary Stevens
After Savatage moved to a more progressive sound, Jon Oliva gave way to Stevens as the vocalist, and he proved up to the task.
10. Greg Puciato
His talent of one of metal's top frontmen in undeniable, though he fits more as a hardcore maniac than a progressive vocalist.
