Default Most f-ed up extreme metal vocals

The title says it all.
Which band in the field of extreme metal has the most ****ed up (in a good way) vocals?
I'm not even really a fan of the genre anymore, but still quite curious to check out your suggestions.

From what I remember from my metal days, I'd say that Bethlehem take the cake. Pretty fun and somewhat hilarious singing.

Cool voice! Will have to check them out.
(But if we start posting outside of metal we'll pretty soon end up with Keiji Haino. And probably Tom Waits...)

The Edgar Broughton Band were an early Heavy Metal/Heavy Prog band with a pretty brutal vocalist, so I thought they'd be appropriate, but then I re-read the opening paragraph, and realized that this thread is more about modern Black Metal/Extreme bands. Heh, sorry 'bout that... but i'm glad that you liked them!

Never heard of those guys. Actually reminds me somewhat of Bethlehem, but they do have a pretty unique twist to it and are even funnier.

Trent White of Morbid Scream had a pretty unique voice, ridiculously evil.

I think no other death metal vocalist has captured the crushing feel of death/doom quite so well as Runhild Gammelsæter. Her voice just feels like an oppressive ten ton weight, while also being totally jagged and abrasive.

Are you sure you're not a little bit additionally impressed because she's a lady?
Don't get me wrong, she's great and shouldn't have to hide behind no dude, but still...

This is interesting... The cleaner vocals are pretty unusual as well.
