What is your favorite Metalcore vocalist?

If you couldn't tell by name mine is obviously M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold, with Howard Jones from Killswitch Engage being second.

Of those I like Spencer and Craig Owens but Craig isn't a fucking metalcore vocalist. Chiodos isn't even metalcore. Keith Buckley is my favorite and him not being on here is a fucking travesty. Also where the fuck is Dallas Taylor? Most of these aren't even metalcore vocalists.

You're so pissed about a dumb poll.



BTW, and she answered on the 47th.

LOL.The poll just needed more Keith Buckley is all.Nice job on the NFG reference. That record is sick

EDIT: After reading my post I do sound pretty angry. The silly internet brings out the worst in me

god all of these bands are so shitty. i went with george from alexisonfire because that's really the only band on there i like.

I'd say Howard Jones from Killswitch Engage, but TBH Jesse the old singer from Killswitch Engage was better than him. Most of those bands are awful so it's not much of a poll.

I think it's funny Spencer's winning (and I voted for him, too) when he's not even the best vocalist in his band.

Well seeing as all the bands on the list are fucking awful, I picked other for Keith Buckley from Every Time I Die because he was the first to come to mind.

Craig Owens has more votes than a few actual metalcore vocalists. That's hilarious.

went with Shadows, just in front of Tuck & McKinnon. Winston from Parkway Drive would be up there 4 me as well

Really guys??? Spencer???

Don't get me wrong, he's good. But sure as shit ain't got the pipes Howard Jones has.

02/16/09, 12:00 PM
I went with George just because he's hilarious

Spencer and Phil.
Craig Owens isn't a metalcore singer.

It's cool


But to answer the poll, I went with Hranica. Usually when I listen to metal/metalcore/hardcore, I listen for THUH SZWEET BRKDWONS. Whereas TDWP has those, I think their songs are better because of him being able to go from "br00tal" lows to blood curdling highs.

I dig that

Dallas Taylor is fantastic as is Keith Buckley. both put on one hell of a live show.

ive only really listened to atreyu and alexisonfire so it was between those two. i chose the guy from atreyu

AussieBoy
02/17/09, 01:34 AM
which guy is in atreyu, cause i prefer the drummer when he sings, ditto Underoath, but i know thats Aaron G.

Craig Owens isn't a metalcore singer.

Nor is Jeremy McKinnon

02/17/09, 10:52 AM
spencer is deff the best up there.
and i agree that craig isnt metalcore. he does some screaming but i think he should stick to singing.

02/17/09, 12:29 PM
These days I really like ADTR but since ADTR doesn't play metalcore... I'll go for Spencer

Craig Owens? What the hell?

Jacob Bannon is the only Metalcore vocalist (who is actually good) that comes to mind right now.

ghsNICK!
02/17/09, 10:51 PM
Craig Owens and Spencer Chamberlin.

But Craig can actually sing awesome too so I chose him!

The Personist
02/18/09, 12:07 AM
I voted Craig, but didn't see it said metalcore.

Spencer.

Have you listened to Lost in the Sound? Spencer can sing, too. I love Chiodos so I don't have a problem with choosing Craig but I just thought you should know.

Did you really just say that there's only one good metalcore vocalist? Like at all? Are you sure you don't only like that band and you think everyone else sucks for no good reason?

Josh Scogin (The Chariot, ex-Norma Jean). Amazing range of high screams to low "br00tal" growls. Granted the man doesn't sing, but they put on a freakin insane show.

02/18/09, 03:57 PM
Spencer. Mike and Jeremy are great as well though, and Howard has great range

02/18/09, 06:05 PM
I'm surprised "OTHER" doesn't have more votes, seeing as many of these are not even metalcore vocalists...

Spencer FTW!

02/19/09, 06:08 AM
out of that group probably Chamberlain or Lambesis, theres other good ones, back in the day FATA sounded good, before they sucked that is, Palumbo's great, and while he's not a "metalcore" vocalist, no one can completely abuse their vocal chords while retaining great pipes like Mike Patton haha, and theres not a metalcore frontman that would argue with that.

B-Bones
02/20/09, 09:32 AM
I don't know if he counts cause it's more Southern Rock-core, but my "OTHER" vote goes to Dallas Taylor of Maylene and the Sons of Disaster and also from when he was in Underoath.

Other - Jeffrey Moreira of Poison the Well, eh, but they're more experimental/hardcore then metalcore. Whatever.

So happy Spencer is ahead. :-)

I chose Spencer but Karl from Misery Signals is up there.

02/22/09, 12:00 PM
At least half of those bands aren't even metalcore. I actually laughed when I saw Craig Owen's name up there. Anyway, Mike Hranica, no contest. I really don't see why Spencer Chamberlain is winning, he's good, but nowhere even close to being the best metalcore vocalist.

Brandon Allin
02/22/09, 12:35 PM
Out of these, Jeremy McKinnon.

PenThrive
02/22/09, 05:02 PM
None...so I went with Other.

Dumb poll, and Alexisonfire and ADTR aren't metal core.

Intotheunkn0wn
02/26/09, 09:43 AM
i voted for craig owens but I could have easily gone for howard jones, alex varkatzas, Spencer chamberlain OR George Pettit, quite honestly i'm not huge on metalcore like most of the people in the replies, and granted you all know more about metalcore vocalists than I do, but I think those guys do a really good job and are definitly considered great vocalists for the music they play. Quite frankly I'm pretty sure I voted for Craig Owens just to represent our hometown, or homestate boy and represent DEEETROIIIIIT haha

Nick Le
02/26/09, 10:22 AM
I love A Day to Remember and went with Jeremy even though they aren't metalcore. After that, probably Spencer or Mike Hranica of the choices given. I also like Jake Luhrs of August Burns Red, Josh Scogin (The Chariot), and Cory Brandan (Norma Jean)...

Not a huge metalcore fan. Slightly getting into harder stuff lately.
