20 Spiritual Beggars
Michael Amott's side project - he started it 20 yrs ago and he's been regularly putting out albums and touring in support. Michael Amott surprised me because this was a totally different genre from Arch Enemy (death metal).
Songs:
Another Way to Shine, No One Heard, Salt in Your Wounds, Let the Magic Talk, Euphoria, Turn The Tide, Mantra, Send Me A Smile.
Since 2010 their singer has been Apollo, Firewind's ex-singer.
If you insist on good vocals, this is the band with the best vocals on this list - 3 powerhouse singers. Also Grand Magus, because it was formed by one of the ex-singers.
21 The Sword

22 Saint Vitus
23 Belzebong
