Devin is one of my favorite vocalists in ANY genre.

[@charliecfh]

Peter Tatgren is my absolute favorite death metal vocalist.

Mikael Åkerfeldt's growls are deep, brutal and beautiful.

[@Pantheonslayer]

His work with bloodbath is masterful as well as with opeth

[@Mronik88]

Knew she was going to say opeth

[@brianmcevoy1990]

Gotta say I think he is kinda bad. His cleans are good, but the growls sound like a parody of death metal like cannibal corpse lol

[@stepitupandgo67]

Mikael is the best...I like the growls, but his clean singing is where it's at for me

[@staysharp]

Bloodbaths Resurrection Through Carnage will see you now.

[@whoman7489]

My personal favorite is Chuck Schuldiner. I think he is underrated as a vocalist. I just love the way he delivers his lyrics; most of the time i don't have to look up death lyrics because he sings them in a very decipherable way, despite the nature of death metal vocals being otherwise. And the fact that he has changed his vocal style many times throughout his career and actually going higher as he got older just makes him more bad ass!🤘🏻 RIP🖤 EDIT: And also... he freaking pioneered death metal! he was one of the first if not the first person to do death metal vocals.

[@toryfox8989]

He is my favorite death metal guitarist for sure - Flesh And The Power It Holds is one of the best pieces of music ever put out

[@cephalicwasteland3504]

I mean he even said it destroyed his throat

[@brandonduet7771]

Chuck is way up there for me. His vocals are so clear. Also, his style on the guitar is very unique. The riffs are constantly changing, but it's the harmonies that he does. Like Iron Maiden has a signature harmony style, Chuck has his own style.

[@whoman7489]

@Dragon Ball fans can't read yeah i think he did... the thing about possessed is that, it can be considered extreme thrash and death metal at the same time, it's almost like a gray area.

Glad you mentioned Chuck Billy. I've been a Testament fan for a little while now but after seeing them live I really gained a new appreciation for them and they are a metal outlier in my opinion because I believe they've only gotten better over time. They're faster and heavier now than they were in '87 and they can really do no wrong. Chuck's voice is in amazing shape and he can go toe to toe with any other thrash or death metal frontman.

[@jason_108]

You're definitely over 40 with that list ;) I could go with Tardy, Chuck, Van Drunin, Barney, Petrov

[@ian260672]

IMO Chris Barnes was the better vocalist in Cannibal Corpse, not very impressed with George Fisher. Nowadays Chris Barnes is terrible but did sound amazing until around 10 years ago. Then again I'm quite old too and got into all these bands in the 1980s, my favourites at the time were exactly as your list and I got to see most of them live here in Yorkshire England at Bradford Queens hall, the only place who had death metal gigs close by. Did see Pestilence and Malevolent Creation at a small pub in Sheffield though around the late 80s, early 90s. Other bands I got to see were Napalm Death, Cancer (supporting Deicide, amazing night) Carcass and many others. Can't forget Entombed and Dismember, but never got to see them live, just had to mention them. I also really got into Exhorder and Death Angel, so many great bands at the time.

Luc Lemay - Gorguts John Tardy - Obituary Chuck Schuldiner - Death Frank Mullen - Suffocation David Vincent - Morbid Angel

[@SamuelBlackMetalRider]

Luc Lemay is soooooo underrated as a DM vocalist!! Total legend. The ANGST in his screams are unnmatched

[@Intermentor]

Not really a purist, but have to say that most vocalists choosen here are not from the genre death metal. So if you want to check out some real death metal bands check Dismember, Obituary, Death, Morbid Angel, Deicide, Necrophobic, Unleashed and so on...

[@nemesis8626]

You don't have to be a purist to realise this list is nowhere close to the intended subgenre, you would kinda think she would know better being in a band and touring with alot of different death metal bands. I will give her that Trevor and Joe could be on there, possibly even chuck Billy if your only talking exclusively about 2 albums also Barney and Nergal, but randy blythe and Phil Anselmo? Corey Taylor? Nah

[@idorion9096]

Dismember are underrated

[@Intermentor]

@@nemesis8626 Yes, easy to hear that she is not a death metal fanatic.

[@Charles_Anthony]

@@nemesis8626: Behemoth is pretty much a black metal band, but I'll admit that Nergal sings better than some death metal vocalists. I just find it funny she's only mentioned singers she's either heard of, worked with/toured with and no one who would qualify as a hidden gem. I understand that guys like the great a Trevor Strnad would always plug lesser known groups/singers to get them exposed to a wider audience, but this list is just all over the place.

Mikael is the greatest of all time. That growl sounds so natural, like a real beast. The voice itself is so amazing and beautiful. There's Mikael and others. The end.

[@lemniscatefortunecanfinall2707]

YES

[@Tacticalchef666]

Ok first off this list……not bad. Some great choices but they’re not all Death Metal vocalists. So my top 11 DEATH metal vocalists are (In no particular order): 1. Barney- Napalm Death 2. Jeff Walker- carcass 3. Ola Lindgren/Jörgen Sandström- Grave 4. Tomas Lindberg- At The Gates 5. Mikael Åkerfeldt- Bloodbath 6. David Vincent- Morbid Angel 7. Phil Bozeman- Whitechapel 8. Bjorn Strid- Soilwork 9. Marco Aro- The Haunted 10. Dallas Toler Wade - Nile 11. Frank Mullen- Suffocation I know there are a ton more but those are my top 11

[@vietnamd0820]

Barney is amazing…the whole band is amazing really…decades of excellent extreme music

[@Phantombeard]

Phil is badass in Scour as well as Pantera. They are more extreme obviously John Gallagher is my favorite DM vocalist

[@heeteshshil]

Scour is a fucking joke 🤣 can't be serious about it mate.😅😅

[@nemesis8626]

Scour are good, from what I've heard they would land more on the black metal side than death though

[@NEXCUSX]

Would love to see a industrial metal list :) Fear Factory would be somewhere on my list.

[@the_seer_0421]

+ oomph, ministry, rammstein

[@jackliar2627]

fear factory. ministry. sybreed. marilyn manson.

[@patrickbertlein4626]

jesus fuck you kids bore me. Godflesh would be number one, Dead World, Skrew (members of Nin and Zombie), and Crawl. THAT is industrial metal, not some goth shit.

[@clausec6]

Godflesh!

[@RiverOvKnives90]

Good picks I personally agree with alot of them. My personal fav metal vocalists are Corey Taylor, Howard Jones, Tim from as I lay dying (I don't know how to spell his last name) Chino Moreno and Cory Brandon Putman from Norma jean.

[@owencorfield6163]

Awesome list ! Tetiana Shmailyuk definitely takes the top spot now 🤘

[@mrpositronia]

Devin is just a master of all. Chuck Schuldiner, for obvious reasons of greatness and Jeff Walker from Carcass. Instantly recognisable and his voice is just fun to listen to.

[@danrobichaud]

Hey everybody, so here's my list of my 11 Favourite Apples but I'm gonna bend the rules a bit, so here goes. My #1 Apple is an Orange.

[@nemesis8626]

My number 1 apple is a dog

[@robjoyner1167]

precisely what happened here. this list makes absolutely no sense. Devin?? really????

[@cyanidesyn123]

I got to #4 and begun to wonder if she knows what death metal is....

[@jeremyhiltz1224]

Chuck Billy is a total package vocalists and does it all very well! I’d would through in one of the originators, Chris Barnes, from cannibal corpse and six feet under. I know his voice isn’t what it used to be but back in the day was great. Still love the first 3 six feet under albums so good

[@jonajon91]

Anyone else notice the transition at 7:43? Watch the fingers, shit tripped me out.

[@ryukan250]

Devin is the best. His vocals on Deadhead (live) are on a different level.

[@raptorrsr5817]

mine are 1: Travis Ryan 2: George Corpsegrinder Fisher 3: John Gallagher 4: Chuck Schuldiner 5: Mikael Åkerfeldt 6: Joe Duplantier

[@hansele666]

as i am scroling through the comments ... the lack of travis ryan is disturbing !! how in the frozen hell can he not be in everybodys top5 is beyond be tbh there is no one near him atm in that genre

[@raptorrsr5817]

@@hansele666 took the words right out my fucking mouth bro, Travis is killer, by far my favourite in the game rn. Just so much vocal range

[@WHOREHAMMER_OFFICIAL]

@@raptorrsr5817 travis is number one always

[@MrDick-kz8qc]

Solid list, Alissa

[@bartonabrams3433]

You forgot Max Cavalera, come on Sepultura, soulfly, Cavelera conspiracy. The dude is a super heavy weight. Got to include him

[@ramielaoud4400]

For me Peter Tägtgren from hypocrisy is the best melodic death metal vocalist, and then David Vincent ex morbid angel’s vocalist, and number 3 George fisher from cannibal corpse.

[@bobsala7780]

My pick would be Riley McShane from Allegaeon.

[@freshzinn]

Chuck Billy's voice is out of this world... One of my all time favs def. !

[@smokesreefer9417]

is she still in A. E.? I hope so. 2 years ago they became my favorite metal band🤞🤞

[@martinwakefield8138]

This, my friends, is what is known as the bate and switch. Once she said "death like vocals " I knew we were in trouble

[@docphantom2224]

My favorites are Alexi Laiho from Children of Bodom because I love his voice and how it fits with the music they're playing and Chris Barnes from Cannibal Corpse and Six Feet Under because I can't stop listening to his extremely low, brutal guttaral vocal style

[@Charles_Anthony]

Alexi gets no love for his vocals and Bodom is always overlooked. It's just a damn shame.

[@docphantom2224]

@@Charles_Anthony true i never hear anybody talk about children of bodom even though they are just as famous as other bands

[@Charles_Anthony]

@@docphantom2224: There was an article I read about how Black Dahlia Murder was going to continue touring and making music after losing Trevor Strnad as their frontman. Interesting news and it would have been a great article if they never mentioned other bands who weren't able to continue after losing their frontman. Why, I hear you ask? Because they went out of their way to mention modern bands, who aren't even famous, who decided to quit after losing their frontman but they don't even mention Bodom After Midnight...

[@freshzinn]

Alexi's voice was on fire back in 99! As a Bodom fan you HAVE TO listen to the "Tokyo Warhearts" live album! He never came close to his voice afterwards

[@docphantom2224]

@@freshzinnoh, i havent listened to tokio warhearts yet, only stockholm knockout. But ill check it out

[@mrflawless1165]

I knew Randy from LoG was going to be on here and Trevor. Both amazing in their controls of their pitch and growling.

[@brennanchaudhry8925]

Now I'm sad thinking about Trevor again. Rest in Peace to one of the greatest to ever do it.

[@VileSinner666]

Matti Way, hands down my favorite Death Metal vocalist. Gave Abominable Putridity so much guttural life!

[@lukesabin691]

Should have title the video “favorite metal vocalists” to be fair. She clearly doesn’t even know 11 death metal vocalists, or she would have stuck to the premise.

[@Charles_Anthony]

I agree. It's obvious that she's well versed with the general singers in the metal community, mentioning a wide array of groups/singers, but it just seems that she doesn't know enough death metal singers to make a list. That said, it almost seems like she onlymentions groups/singers she's familiar with....

[@BassManqk]

David Vincent, Corpsegrinder, Chuck, Tardy, Benton, LG Petrov, Tomas Lindberg, Björn Strid, Bret Hoffmann and many others. The only woman that I would put in a 'best death metal vocalists' list is Simone Pluijmers

[@spicyf]

How can people not be pissed with her still over how she treated the photographer those years ago?

[@grandfathernebulous]

11 actual 'Death Metal' vocalists Joe from Broken Hope Luc from Gorguts Brett from Malevolent Creation Chris from Cannibal Corpse John from Obituary Glen from Deicide Will from Mortician Frank from Suffocation George from Cannibal Corpse Oli from Archspire Phlegeton from Wormed

[@Headbanger9000]

And if you call them out because they praise generic garbage, youre called an "elitest" as if thats supposed to be an insult

[@mawshmawsh93]

Thanks for this actual list I would have liked to have heard expanded on lol

[@rustyshackelford6834]

I didn’t know Arch Enemy, Alissa, or half these bands were death metal.

[@alfredbarnes503]

She did specifically say that they weren't all death metal vocalists.

[@braintoggle33]

Seems a little goofy they used the term death metal. Most of these are not. A great list of vocalist though

[@headshot217]

They're not

[@SCUMCHRIST888]

Saying half is REALLY generous

[@raymondlm7254]

The list now would be 1)Will Ramos LornaShore... 2)Alex Terrible SlaughterToprevail....3)Tatiana of Jinjer

[@CanalKizaru]

Kyo from Dir en grey is my favorite by far
