For really extreme vocals in conjunction with intense music look no further than Christian Vander’s offering. Just received the box set and viewed the DVD over the weekend and it’s amazing. A must have for any Magma fan. Very passionate and intense; John Coltrane intense… A love supreme, a love supreme. |

Nahhhh ... that live version of "Ball and Chain" is far and away one of the best things ever done, and one of the top rock albums of all time ... CHEAP THRILLS.
Not only is that singing insane, maybe you can see where Dave Gilmour, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page learned to play the guitar loud and louder!

Nahhhhh ... the early albums that she did with John, like 2 Virgins and a couple of others, were FARRRRRR AND AWAYYYYY weirder, and even going so far as them having sex (very obviously) and her not able to control her feelings and instincts (so it seems) ... and well, it was entertaining, but was it art?

Scream your last scream you old woman with a basket, was a Syd Barrett line that appeared in many bootlegs, btw, and was a part of the original "Greatest Gig in the Sky" before it became a vocal powerhouse.

Ex-Yugoslavia female rock star and Croatian singer Josipa Lisac (already in the Prog Archives as a prog-related act) did do an amazing ("extreme") perfomance at Gubec Beg rock-opera by Ivica Krajac, Karlo Metikoš and Miljenko Prohaska, 1975. |

 There are some very mundane examples of extreme here.Diamanda Galas has already been mentioned and she is undoubtedly the queen of extreme, Yma Sumac had an incredible range but you'd not call her singing style extreme, I would say Jarboe as she has been described thusly: "To say she has the most amazing vocal range just doesn't encompass her ability to go from fragility and delicacy to raw screaming power. Half-siren, half-steamroller, a little like Linda Blair in "The Exorcist" in how she alternates from innocent little girl to roaring demon; 0 to 666 in under two seconds." (Guardian Unlimited, UK). However I think that is a bit of journalistic exaggeration, she is more the menacing demon than a roaring one, anyway as the trend of flooding posts with pointless video's continues unabated, here's an example that fails to illustrate anything: |

Milić Vukašinović was sreaming well with his band Vatreni Poljubac (engl. "Kiss Of Fire") at the first Yugoslavian Heavy Metal album Oh, Što Te Volim, Joj! (engl. "Oh, I love you, Oh!") released in 1978. Edited by Svetonio - August 02 2014 at 22:02 |

Can't believe Kate Bush hasn't been mentioned.
Also, the vocalist from Ween... not really prog, but not really anything else either.
