NuffCatnip: Could someone give me some names of bands that are pretty heavy, but have clear vocals ?
Something like Disturbed would be nice.
Ooof, I don't like disturbd at all, so you might not like my suggestions, but, Something like Disturbed would be nice.
Dream Theater has some relatively heavy stuff with an amazing vocalist (who took me a LONG time to grow into liking, so you might not like him either, as I find he puts people off usually until they get accustomed to him.) Some of their even more heavy songs are from the "Train of Thought" album, so I'd recommend starting there, but once you know that album they don't really have anything "heavier" in their catalogue and it just becomes more progressive metal with less heavy-edges (though still definitely heavy-ness to be found throughout their catalogue.)
Iced Earth is some of my favorite metal and they also sing their lyrics.
I'll recommend these songs for you given you like disturbd:
Last December
Melancholy (Holy Martyr)
My Own Savior
Prophecy
Wolf (the entire Horror Show album is TOPS, imo)
I Walk Alone
When Stars Collide
Come What May
Anthem
That's just a peck of the surface, and not necessarily absolute favorites of mine, but a good starting point, imo.
