For the poll I picked who I thought would be the more popular choices, I'm sure we'll get alot of "others" though.
Anyways, this was a hard one for me. Black Metal vocals are probably my favorite type of vocals in all it's different styles...but overall my favorite is probably Nocturno Culto. Absolutely countless vocalists have modeled themselves ater him and for good reason. He's the spokesboy of BM vocals and has a truly chilling sound to his voice. Attila was a close second for me, he has one hell of a creepy voice too. Varg as well. Who's yours??

Ihsahn is good, but he gets annoying when he does lengthy screams (Towards The Pantheon anyone?). Varg sounds like someone being skinned alive. This isn't always nice. Nocturno is very normal, your average day BM vocalist. Attlia is pretty good, but.... very twisted and weird. Satyr is very raspy. So.... It's Abbath FTW, the mighty king of northern darkness!!!!!

Abbath is an exquisite vocalist... He sounds vaguely froggish, but you can't beat him.

Am I the only once who thinks that Vargs vocals are absolutely terrible? They just come off as weak IMO . Voted for Ihsahn because of his versatility, Good clean vocals as well as his Shrieks.

Ihsahn has the most unique sound, and Emperor is my favorite classic BM band. So Ihsahn it is.

Abbath ftw. Ihsahn close 2nd. And my 3rd is probably going to cause a lot of shit to be thrown my way I'm sure but at least I'm being honest Shagrath.

I voted for Quorthon, because he's a legend, althought I prefer his non black albums like "Blood On Ice", "Hammerhart",...

Abbath is my favorite and it's good to see I'm not the only one who thinks he sounds like a frog. But I'm dissapointed to see maniac poll so low. Behind Varg and Attila? And how would Dead and Shagrath go if they were on the list?

Abbath, mainly for the reason that immortal is my favorite black metal band

My personal favorite is Høst from Taake. Whenever I record black metal vocal covers, I always look to him for inspiration. Whenever I think of black metal shrieks, i always look to his vocals as being the "real deal" if you will. I should also mention Ihsahn as well, his vocals are killer.

Isahn or Kvaforth, Abbath sounds like a human frog to me, although it blends good with the music for some strange reason.

Nowdays I would say Attila and Mortuus (aka Arioch)... Attila's voice is so versatile while Mortuus has easily the most angry voice I've heard. Just listen to Funeral Mist's Salvation and you'll hear how fucking insane and brilliant he sounds.

Legion (ex-Marduk). His vocals are great, sounds exactly how I like - grim and dark. Other noticable great vocalists I would mention: Corven (ex-Nehëmah), Emperor Magus Caligula (ex-Dark Funeral), Naas (Akhlys). New vocalists of Marduk and Dark Funeral are meh and I don't like their vocals. Both bands detoriorated in my opinion. Not the same quality like it was with Legion and Emperor Magus Caligula era.

My vote goes to Varg Vikernes. The classic Burzum vocals sound sort of like a deaf guy coughing up a hairball  But are his vocals not comforting though?! It's fitting for when you're in the right mood.

I'd have to go with Attila Csihar myself due to his more varied vocal range and evil presence, and those creepy operatic parts on the Mayhem's debut are spine chilling. Quorthon comes in second for me, his not the most gifted vocalist and far from the most talented, but the sheer passion in his voice is just off the scale. Satyr is also worth an honorable mention.

Marko Laiho aka Nuclear Holocausto Vengeance from Beherit. I don't think vocals are the strong point of black metal anyway, most of them sound the same. Marko's vocals are full of all kinds of beastly screaming, panting, growling, hissing and who knows what else. To me that's way more interesting than standard metal growling.
