The Metal Roundup

In this episode the best metal vocalists get ranked and discussed! All these vocalists are brilliant, music isn't a competitive sport, this is just for a bit of fun and discussion. We had a list of 150 great modern metal related vocalists curated by our Patreon members which we then individually ranked and this is the top 50 results from our averaged results.
