I'd suggest giving Devin Townsend a try. His solo material is a lot more toned down to his Strapping Young Lad and he has a real knack for creating this wall of sound production that just engulfs you. He also has a really great melodic singing voice, but can bring out a scream or growl if he needs to. His 1997 debut solo album Ocean Machine: Biomech is where I'd recommend you start.
