Any metal screamers here?

I didn't find modern vocalist a helpful resource or discussion site. I've got no peers there.

Yes, ALOT of different types of screamers
80's metal meaning David Coverdale.  (I'm sorry for such a stupid word, 80's metal, sheesh i could've used a more deserving word)
So, you're welcome here skull .
And why don't you do it much anymore though?

There's also the Oi!-screaming which probably is best defined as some sort of I-am-in-a-football(soccer for you over the pond)-firm-and-charging-the-other-firm style of delivery.

And Skull, on your high notes, you use your head voice ofcourse? Just to make sure i'm doing it correctly. But i really think that i am obliged to use my headvoice since i sing in really high highs, like hmm. Screaming For Vengeance? I just hope it's really right to use your headvoice. Because for example, Bruce Dickinson hits some of his highs via high chest voice right?

Yeah...I don't think I've ever heard Dickenson sing in anything but his full-voice.

I wouldn't worry too much about what anyone says is right or wrong.  If it sounds the way you want it to, and you're not damaging your voice....get 'er done.

@Skullsession
I failed bigtime spelling Dickenson. I'm so sorry hahaha. Yeah i figured because you're high have so much power and integrity. I idolize you Skull, hands down. I can't really develop my full highs because i can't shout here on my home studio (sigh), or atleast if i do, i can't afford failing because all my neighbors will hear the awful truth . So i only get the time to do so in an isolated studio.

@mgh
There! I was thinking about Liby, like the vienna sausage brand (Liby's), so thanks for clearing that up. Tomas is real great too. Umm, what do you think of their latest material though (At The Gates)?

James, i didn't know you had a wikipedia page

They will actually only remove your page IF: You haven't released/produced atleast one full length album
I tried to make one before, it got warned in 2 hours, removed in 4 hours.

BTW, who is your biggest vocal influence?

Legion:
Ahh i see. Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth, Hipocrisy, Carnage, At The Gates, In Flames, Dark Tranquility and Opeth (I'm sure you've heard of Opeth) are your countries', we may say, national metal groups hahaha! They make sweden popular for their respective style. You guys started the popular "Gothenburg" sound, which serves as the grand daddy of most modern death metal groups.

I see you like Oi! and Punk. I have no idea about Swedish Punk acts though. But i am an avid listener of Hardcore punk, Dead Kennedys, Old Anti-Flag, and some maybe more of Oi! like The Exploited and such. So you like Oi! gigs the most?

Yeah, I've heard about Opeth, At The Gates and In Flames (In Flames even had some mainstream popularity here).

Well, I'm basically a street guy that mostly listenes to so called Urban music (as long as it's street and not the bubblegum or pranksta bs on MTV) but I really like and listen to a lot of music from and about the rough reality lots of us grow up in no matter the genre. Blues, Jazz, Ska, Punk, Oi!, Metal, Folk, whatever... If it's honest and well performed I will probably appreciate it. When it somes to Oi! I really like The Business, the Opressed, 4skins, Sham 69, Angelic Upstarts, Stiff Little Fingers, Brigada Flores Magon (french), Klasse Kriminale (italian) and Los Fastidios (also italian). I also really like the hardcore/streetpunk band Dropkick Murphys from Boston (being from Boston they really should use Cakewalk ha ha ha)

Yeah, Anti Flag and Dead Kennedys are really nice.

The Swedish punk scene is ok but not very good, to much teen rebellion from people who later can retire to their safe families and start to work in daddys company. The Oi!-scene have produced some really good bands through the years but never been really big (and sadly the white-power scene has been big at times even if it's pretty non existent today since the left wing groups in Sweden are probably even more aggro than the right wing groups). There's been some of the really good european bands here playing everey now and then though.

That might explain it then...I still have a couple in the big chain stores.
It's hard to nail down just one vocal influence.  Ronnie James Dio was a big one.  I was sad to see him pass the other day.  But damn...67....what a great ride he had - and he never stopped sounding like DIO.
 
But I also was a huge fan of Dee Snider, Geoff Tate, Tommy Keifer.

Legion: The Beastie Boys went from punk to rap, maybe you were like that too!
I've never heard of a rap gig with moshpits though.

Yeah, I'm more into Urban music but I got much love and listen a lot to any genre as long as it's honest and real (and I can relate to it). I think it's really cool how there are so many different ways to express, basically the same thing. I mean everything from rap, to soul, dancehall, reggae, blues and further to rock, punk, Oi!, metal still through operah and classical greek literature talk about the same topics. I listen to anything that inspires me or moves me emotionally.

[...] of course there social security system which makes playing in a band economically viable also helps

Not anymore... Nowadays it's all about getting people available for the labour market, even if there are no paid jobs to be found.
