Lead singer/screamer of Lamb of God. No doubt about it, Randy Blythe IS god. Worship him.
Randy always starts the "Wall of Death" during the Lamb of God concerts. Craaazy shit.

Jason Bittner is a god, a metal icon, and the drummer for Shadows Fall. He can double-bass drum faster than anyone could imagine.
Need an example? "The Light that Blinds" off of Shadows Fall's new cd The War Within.

An extremely underrated and very talented guitarist/lead singer. He is the (very sexy!!!) frontman for the Finnish metal band Children of Bodom. Alexi "Wildchild" Laiho composes most of the band's lyrics and music, and obviously, does a great job of it too. Alexi is a great axman and his guitar solos are challenging and just awesome to listen to. He could easily be the next Zakk Wylde.
"Establish world peace, kill everyone!"
-New sticker on Alexi's guitar
"Drink beer and don't give a flying fuck!!"
-Basically, his philosophy on life

Very talented band from Orange County, California. The combination of Alex Varkatzas's screaming and drummer Brandon Saller's melodic singing creates a perfect balance. The lyrics to most songs are influenced by Alex's dark, gloomy mindset.
You should add the albums 'Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses' and 'The Curse' to your cd collection if you haven't already done so.

A Norwegian black metal band that has a unique style all their own. Not only do they visually make a statement, but their music does as well. Dimmu were on Ozzfest 2004, which hopefully got their name out to a few more people in the United States. Vocalist Shagrath helps to make the band one of a kind.
Two great songs:
'Cataclysm Children' (English)
'Allehelgens Dod I Helveds Rike' (Norwegian...if you can't tell)

Charicteristic sound effect always made by frontman Alexi Laiho from the ass-kicking band Children of Bodom.
If you need an example of the YAAOOWW!! sound...listen to the song 'Everytime I Die' off the COB album "Follow the Reaper". Hell yes....

The talented (and beautiful) vocalist of the Norwegian black metal band Dimmu Borgir. He sounds equally good whether he sings his songs in Norgwegian or English. Shagrath, or his real name Stian Thoresen, and his band put on one hell of a show.
The vocals of Shagrath are what make Dimmu Borgir the band that they are.
