Thumbs up: 0
I wanted to write a bit more about each singer, but I only had so much room on each line.

Created by: Ganondox | 18.07.2014



1. Corey Taylor - Slipknot
He may not be the most unique singer around, but he is very talented, and his harsh screams, rap, and singing is perfect for nu metal.
2. David Draiman - Disturbed
A talented singer with a dark, rich vocal tone and a unique style that is both percussive and melodic, but his best vocal work isn't nu metal.
3. Sahaj Ticotin - Ra
Considering he set a world record, he is extremely talented, though his voice can be somewhat annoying at times.
4. Chester Bennington - Linkin Park
The most recognized nu metal singer, he's known for his emotional singing and screaming.
5. Jonathan Davis - Korn
He's not exceptionally talented, but his distinctive voice defined the genre.
6. Chino Moreno - Deftones
Beautiful singing, as well as good screamer and rapper. Only reason he's not not higher up is his because singing style isn't very nu metal.
7. Kyo - Dir En Grey
In their span from soft alternative rock to avant-garde death metal, Dir En Grey's covered nu metal, and Kyo's eclectic vocal style is unrivaled
8. Ivan Moody - Motorgrater
He's better known for the groove metal band Five Finger Death Punch, but also sang for the experimental nu metal band Motograter.
9. Aaron Lewis - Staind
His slightly slurred yet powerful drawl is perfect for Staind's mix between nu metal and grunge.
10. Sandra Nasić - Guano Apes
Of the many women in nu metal, Sandra is one of the few who can pull off the masculine vocal style well.
11. Lajon Witherspoon - Sevendust
A very unique singer with his distinctive raspy voice.
12. Dave Williams - Drowning Pool
His death was tragedy as not only was he a good singer, but a good person.
