Post Reply - Recommend Non-Screamo Metal

No, seriously though, screamo vocals are a fairly recent invention. They get on my nerves a lot. And I take it you're not looking for guttural death metal or croaky black metal either, so thrash and traditional metal might be your best bets. Here's a few suggestions (some of these might be obvious, but you didn't give us a big list of what you already know!):

Anthrax (both vocalists are excellent)

Accept

Annihilator (quality can vary wildly between albums)

Bruce Dickinson's non-Maiden solo material

Candlemass (can be almost operatic at times)

Cathedral

Crash (Korean thrash, sometimes quite similar to Metallica)

Dark Angel (heavier end of the thrash spectrum, and the vocals can be a bit harsh at times)

Death Angel (There's some awful screams on the first album, but after that the vocals are excellent)

Devilskin (NZ metal with a female singer. One of the biggest bands in the country)

Diamond Head (Oldie but a goodie. Lars Ulrich's favourite band)

Dio. Dio. Dio.

Dragonforce

Dream Theater

Exodus (Vocally the first album isn't very polished, but is very enthusiastic! Can't go wrong anywhere with this band)

Faith No More

Fight (Rob Halford without Judas Priest)

Flotsam & Jetsam

Forbidden

Helloween

Iced Earth

Judas Priest (but you must know these guys already, right?)

King Diamond (very high pitched vocals)

Manowar \m/

Nevermore

Nuclear Assault (Try the song Butt Fuck for a mix of metal and blues!)

Oliver Magnum

Overkill

Onslaught
