![]() But my favorite is a less known one: Rapture’s Henri Villberg. When it comes to death/doom metal growlers, cases could be made for both Novembers Doom’s Paul Kuhr and Swallow the Sun’s Mikko Kotamäki. The performance proved him a solid death metal growlers, but more than anything it showed the world how absolute insane his high screams are. It was very interesting to hear his one-off performance in Bloodbath in comparison to the mostly melodeath stuff he’s done with Hypocrisy. He’s able to go very low, yet his high screams are some of the best in the business. Peter Tägtgren’s biggest pro-argument is no doubt his massive range when it comes to pitch. Just like Alexander Högbom on number 19, Mike delivers both brutal low growls and high screams equally well.ġ5. Monstrosity’s “Spiritual Apocalypse” is one of those death metal albums I would bring to a deserted island, and Mike Hrubovcak’s vocal performance is a big part of it. He sounds gruesome as fuck on the old Grave records, and I really enjoy his performance in 2000’s tongue-in-cheek project Torture Division too. When it comes to classic Swedish death metal, few singers do it better than Jörgen Sandström. ![]() Jörgen Sandström (ex-Grave, ex-Torture Division, The Project Hate MCMXCIX) He’s got an absolute massive tone that’s a perfect for Hate’s über-intense music. And Adam’s vocals are a big part of that velocity. Hate is a non-stop menace high-velocity band that I really enjoy when I’m in the mood for it. One of Alexander’s big selling points is that his high screams are just as on point as his brutal growls. Right now, he’s providing kickass growls for melodic death/doomsters October Tide and old school death metal band Demonical. If you’re looking for a Swedish growler from the new school, Alexander Högbom is probably the best choice. Alexander Högbom (October Tide, Demonical) I also like what he did with the underrated band Divine Empire. And this guy has one of the best classic American-style death metal growls for sure. Unlike most classic Malevolent albums, that one actually features bass player Jason Blaczowicz on vocals. Malevolent Creation’s “Eternal” album was one of the first death metal albums I enjoyed. Jason Blaczowicz (ex-Malevolent Creation, ex-Divine Empire) If you enjoy it, check out all our music on Bandcamp or Spotify, or follow the latest news by liking us on Facebook.Ģ0. I’ll just smack in our song “Portal Tomb” from the 2020 album “Sermon of Apathy” below so you can take a look. We’re a mix between Swedish and American death metal bands that fits fans of both styles equally. ![]() Quality of music participated on over timeĪnd of course, level of aggression and how visceral the vocal delivery is.īefore we start counting down death metal vocalists, here’s a nice little piece of self-promotion: if you like old school death metal you should check out my band Desolator.Level of influence on other singers (including myself).Some criteria for listing the 20 best death metal vocalists are: Just like my recent list of the 100 best death metal bands, this is bound to raise some eyebrows, and I’m OK with that. Hence, this is a highly subjective piece. ![]() On one hand I’m a fan of many different styles and eras, on the other hand it’s very hard to compare charismatic legends to savvy modern growlers. Listing the 20 best death metal vocalists is not an easy deal.
