alt Hacker NewsActually, the more I think about your reply, no. Modern "heavy metal" is some guy growling and yelling in the mic, unless you know of a metal singer with a great Rob Halford or Ronnie James Dio voice I can listen to. An exception is Zakk Wylde, that dude is badass, I had the good fortune to see him perform at Red Rocks.
This is starting to sound suspiciously similar to the old lines about all rap being about gangbangers and money/drugs etc. Theres plenty of bands that do traditional clean vocals; I'm listening to Wytch Hazels latest album as I type this. They're very old school/early NWOBHM style metal/hard rock, you may like them.
Other bands with similar[0] vocals off the top of my head: Summerlands, Night Demon, Sonja, Crypt Sermon, Visigoth, Eternal Champion
Halford, Dio,Dickinson, and the other greats are going to be hard to replicate exactly but there's plenty of singers out there that are just as skilled andactively playing music.
