so, yeah, that pretty much reduces me to liking Metallica, System of a Down, Ministry, um......
Try Testament and Symphony X, both of them have amazing vocalists, though Testament have experimented with a lot of vocal styles (try the classic "Practice What You Preach").

I'm into all types of metal, to name a few favorites rather than make a huge list (including grindcore as a type of metal)
Death
Deicide
Krisiun
Mayhem
Morbid Angel
Napalm Death
Nasum
Testament
The Acacia Strain (though they're hardcore, they fit in well with extreme metal and metalcore)
Yngwie Malmsteen

The vocals are similar in many places but the musicianship is, in my opinion, much better.
Martyr are an amazing band, I first heard "Hopeless Hopes" from Napster when it was their only album. They've done so much more since then, worth a listen for sure.
