4 Chris Barnes (Six Feet Under) Chris Barnes is an American musician mainly noted for his deep-throat vocals, explicitly violent lyrics. Barnes was a founding member of Cannibal Corpse before his dismissal and would later form Six Feet Under, which he fronts to this day.

He can growl longer and deeper than any person on this list if you listen to old school cannibal corpse and six feet under.

5 Cameron "Big Chocolate" Argon (Disfiguring the Goddess)

For a dude who makes electro type music, Big C has some of he most brutal vocals in modern death metal.

6 Adam Warren (Oceano)

9 Chuck Schuldiner (Death) Charles Michael "Chuck" Schuldiner (1967-2001) was an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist, best known as the founder and vocalist, guitarist and bassist of the American heavy metal band Death. He is considered the most influential figure in Death Metal, with some publications referring to Chuck as the "Godfather of Death Metal". Schuldiner died in December 13, 2001 of brain cancer, his death subsequently leading to the disbandment of Death, but has remained influential among many aspiring metal artists. He was also known for his polite and life loving attitude and openly condemned stereotypes of metal musicians being harmful and evil.

Chuck was THE ORIGINAL, and no deathcore/metalcore vocalists deserve a place on this list.
