Continuing on with my series of musician posts I decided to tackle 10 of the best current male vocalists. As usual it is not a definitive list but just some of the best singers and front men that are actively recording and touring. Even though I am a huge extreme metal nut I am not listing any of them vocalists in this post unless they are very versatile. I will do a separate post on the best extreme metal growlers and screamers at some point in the near future.
Dax Riggs (Acid Bath, Agents of Oblivion, Deadboy and the Elephantmen)(audio only)
King Diamond (Mercyful Fate, King Diamond)
Cedric Bixler-Zavala (The Mars Volta, At the Drive In, and others)
Geoff Tate (Queensryche)
Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)
Devin Townsend (Strapping Young Lad, Devin Townsend Project)
Maynard James Keenan (Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, C.A.D.)
Daniel Gildenlöw (Pain of Salvation, Spastic Ink, and other projects)
Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth, Katatonia, Bloodbath)
Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr Bungle, Fantomas, Peeping Tom, and many others)

Nice list! but you forgot Robert Lowe from Candlemass
It’s sad that no one say something about the 10 best current male rock/metal vocalists in the world. I have my personnal idea in this. Let me give you my list, 1.The vocalist of Deicide, 2.The vocalist of ALL SHALL PERISH, 3.The vocalist of Dark the suns, 4.The vocalist of SUICIDE SILENCE, 5.TIM LAMBELIS of AS I LAY DYING, 6.The vocalist of SHADOWS FALL, 7.The vocalist of Seventh day slumber, 8.The vocalist of FOR THE FALLEN DREAMS, 9.The vocalist of Killswitch Engage and 10.The vocalist of TRIVIUM.
Sorry, But I think Adam Lambert ( album “For your entertainment”) should be included. I think is is the future in rock music, especially for his intention of promoting glam rock
