Is Chester Bennington the best vocalist screamer?

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

Yes he's fantastic, but I prefer Kurt Cobain.

There are crazy screamers in death metal and black metal etc ... for more mainstream metal I always like Chino Moreno

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

 

[Valhoven]

I'm not 100 if they're still around but Mudvayne's lead vox was really good. Some of their stuff teleports me somewhere else as soon as I hear it. Will share a track I've long loved. I get gooseflesh when he screams 'I'm not the only one.' Enjoy (Stamped):



Another would be Phil Bozeman of Whitechapel. Their 2021 LP Kin took my breath away and changes it up vocally with poetic lyrics. A track for you (Stamped):

 

[HenryFlower]

no.

I'd say he's the best pop screamer
especially as someone who grew up in the 00's
bro pumped up I think that angsty edge Lord gonna vs Griffin testosterone
shadow boxing in the mirror in between it's of curls
with Chaz screaming his way through some nonsense blazing in the ear buds
with a half can of xyience and a met rx protein bar running through me
was peak living

about as close to Batman as I'll ever get

 

[I Am Legion]

He is top of the heap, but so many good ones in bands like:
Arch Enemy
Slipknot
Cradle of Filth
Jinjer
Cannibal Corpse
Bullet For My Valentine


My favorite is a scream/singer that hits incredible notes without having to all out scream:

Another would be Phil Bozeman of Whitechapel.

As much as I'm not really a fan of their newer stuff compared to the older stuff i saw Whitechapel a few months back and he's a rare case of still sounding the same live as he does on record, was thoroughly impressed

 

[aerius]

No. Rock Jesus is way better.

[FlyingDeathKick]

I mean when it comes to screaming there are a few different things called screaming. Old school metal and power metal screams which typically in the higher register and not much distortion, death metal screams, black metal etc...

For power metal I really like Daniel Heiman from lost horizon



For harsh vocal screams I like Chance from Skeletonwitch

 

[Zer]

Killswitch Engage gotta be mentioned (Both Jesse Leach and Howard Jones are great)

 

[Quadtavius Tuck]

No. Guttalax is the undisputed FrogCore champ

 

[Flower2dPeople]

This thread is Rogan level "Once ever in human history" take.

 

[NickNick]

This thread is Rogan level "Once ever in human history" take.

This, there are entire genres of music based around a screaming vocalist. Thinking that the dude from Linkin Park is the best is pretty silly.

 

[Chad R. Thundercock]

He is top of the heap, but so many good ones in bands like:
Arch Enemy
Slipknot
Cradle of Filth
Jinjer
Cannibal Corpse
Bullet For My Valentine

Came in here to mention Rob Halford as well.



Another favorite song of mine from the same album.
