Top 10 Ballads Sung by Metal Singers Who Usually Use Harsh Vocals
This list is about ballads by singers who usually provide harsh vocals but they surprise us with their clean vocals, often unbelievably good or/and soft.Example - a death metal or thrash metal singer sings almost like an angel.
Many people think that metal singers with harsh vocals just can't sing and this is the reason they make those awful noises (when they growl or scream the vocals). Well, it's not true.
Dio, Rob Halford, Bruce Dickinson and all singers with clean melodic vocals aren't allowed here.

Mikael as both a great growler and a great clean vocalist, which is why Opeth is great he uses both of them and it works perfectly making for a harsh and beautiful experience when listening to their songs.
