Anyone know of any bands (other than shinedown of course) that have strong vocal talent. After listening to shinedown almost exclusively for the past 2 years or so i kinda wanna expand my music collection with some new good stuff.

Unfortunately, because i listen to shinedown so much... i kinda have high standards when it comes to vocals. So if any of you know of any newer bands that have good vocals please lemme know cause ive been lookin for a couple months and havent been able to find anything that has blown me away.

Try Queensryche, it's a progressive metal band from the 80's but the man has an amazing voice, just listen to Silent Lucidity.

yea... i got the older stuff covered... im just lookin for newer bands that i can get into a little bit. but yea Queensryche is awesome

evanescence. not really my style, but that girl can SING. also try SD label buddies, Halestorm. they've got a live EP with 5 tracks, and they're on the tours. and while he's not for everyone, i really like the guy from Coheed and Cambria.

*shakes head* Zach, Zach, Zach, what have I taught you?! *sigh*

LOL, j/k

Seether, Spineshank, Audioslave, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice in Chains...



Maybe it's because I really like that grunge-style singing. I hate the high pitch pop-punk singing like Linkin Park and Green Day.


If it's your style, Slayer's got good vocals. So do Cannibal Corpse and Suffocation.

nobody saying Alter Bridge? Myles was named in the top 100 vocalists on some rolling stone list or something..

and he's kinda got that bruce dickinson vibe imo... (if you think Run For the Hills)... and

Myles is good imo

then one more.. of course there's Silvertide... on HeartStrong.. Nothing STays etc.. there's nobody better than Walt...

I actually hate this band, but Ryan Peake from Nickelback (Lead Guitar/Vocals) has an awesome voice...personaly, I think he should break off and do his own thing. I love Maynards (tool) voice too.

Rock On

Try something new, try Halestorm. Lizzy has a big, strong, knockout voice, and she's just a 'lil bit of a thing. Guitar player is hot too. They have a live CD, only has like 5 songs. I dunno if they have a commercial record out or not. Anybody know?

Acoz~ i can see that ur looking to get into newer bands, something u can get into before the masses do... thats what i always try and do... before the bands become to mainstream.

Like my fellow shiners look into halestorm, silvertide (they'll remind u a lot of Zep) and one of my new favs is panic value (remind me A LOT of SD) all of these bands have "myspace" its worth it just for the music.

Let me know if u checked any of those bands out and tell me what ya think...

Halestorm doesnt have a record out yet. For now, you have to settle for the EP, which is AWESOME! They should have a record out by the end of this year or early next year. Be sure to check them out, well worth it!

yea i love halestorm but i couldnt really ever get into silvertide... i did go check out panic value and theyre pretty good. thanks for the recommendations everyone

I'll agree with Halestorm. Also Cold, the vocals on their most recent album, A Different Kind Of Pain, are awesome. And the lyrics are equally good.

Anything by Tantric.....theyre awesome!
