 Topic: Most versatile Prog-Metal singer!
Posted: June 16 2008 at 11:05 |
|
Maybe this poll has been done before...
But I find it really interesting anyway! The decission of wich singers should be in this poll was really hard... But finally I decided to include the most versatile 9 in my opinion, and I leave the "Other" question if you are not agree with my decission.
I restricted the singers not only in Progressive Metal, but Prog Metal in general (Experimental and Tech metal too). I tried to be objetive in the choice, so I hope you are also objetive. So please, don't vote for you favourite one, but the one you think has a most verstile voice.
Let's see who wins!

It was between Maynard and Mikael... But because Opeth are my favourite band at the moment, Mikael it is.

Gildenlow, he makes his voice do as much as Gabriel and Hammil ever did.

goes like this
1 Russell Allen. Mr. Allen does it all and quiet amazing well.
2 Maynard James Keenan
3 Daniel Gildenlow
4 Mikael Akerfeldt
5 Mariusz Duda
there is a band called wastefall from Greece that has awesome singer his name is Domenik Papaemmanouil. a highly recommended band by the fans of Pain of Salvaiton.
another verstile singer is Jørn Lande from the band Ark too band the band managed make only 2 studio albums. but Jørn Lande is a incredible singer. Even my wife how isnt' a metal or prog fan like his voice and you know that is something.

Daniel Gildenlow, Mikael Akerfeldt and Dan Swanö, he is just as versatile as Mikael, or maybe even more, just listen to Edge of Sanity(death growls and mellow vocals), Nightingale(mellow vocals) or Steel(80's heavy/power/speed metal higher-as-f**k vocals).

Daniel is really versatile, and brilliant IMHO.
Devon Graves was as Buddy Lackey the best. It's a bit unfair, that he has 0 votes now, he will get mine, beside the wonderful guitar playing his voice makes the classic Psychotic Waltz albums so memorable.

Mikael Akerfeldt, only because his harmonic vocals are THE BEST IN METAL.

Hmmm... I will give this band from Greece an oportunity! It sounds pretty well.
I'm agree with you... Jorn Lande has a great voice. But he is involved in so many groups and projects, that I did forget his relation with Prog-Metal. Nevertheless, I think that Lande is more interested in Hard Rock than in prog... But he has a really interesting and worthy career!
Greetings!

Jorn Lande in Hard Rock:
- Nikolo Kotzev "Nostradamus".
- Allen-Lande "The Battle", "The Revenge".
- Jorn "Starfire", "Worldchanger", "Born to Every Nation", "The Duke", "Unocking the Past", "The Gathering", "Lonely are the Brave".
- Vagabond "Vagabond"
- The Snakes "Once Bitten"
etc, etc...
This is what I meant! Of course he participated in some prog rock and prog metal albums, but his style and carrer is more oriented towards Hard Rock. I think his voice is perfect for this style, in wich he shines specially in my opinion.
Best regards!

I've heard a couple of wastefall songs, its surprising just how much the dude sounds like Gildenlow in timbre, but he has non of DG's dynamics.

Being only familiar with a few of the singer this poll has opened my eyes to how much more Prog Metal I need to get No vote, but I was thinking Maynard until I thought - "can I imagine him outside of Tool... no".

Daniel Gildenlow. How is this even a poll? I thought it was common knowledge that he is the best prog metal vocalist.

Now that I'm looking at the list more carefully, I'm surprised that Labrie isn't on here
