Getting a real tool vibe from the vocals

Another kind of Tool-ish band, Soen. The drummer is ex-Opeth drummer Martin Lopez.

Very, very tool esque.

I like em better though. Love the shit out of that track, off to find more.

Grab "The January Tree," then. That's the opener, and the whole album sounds exactly like that. Except, the final track, which is a weirdly effective piano and vocal tune... Go figure.

You forgot to mention Steve DiGiorgio.

You might dig Baroness. The vocals aren't really clean but they're not cookie monster growls either-sort of shouty I guess. Either way the music is awesome.

Anything off the Red or Blue albums will kick your ass.

The Accept album that came out last year was pretty good too, if you're into old-school heavy metal.

These dudes are a cool mix of Mastodon, Opeth, and sludgy stoner riffs. Some rough vocals but mostly clean.

And speaking of sludgy stoner riffs:

Also, seconding and thirding the Nevermore recommendations. One of my favorite bands.

A personal fave right now, though there are some pretty gritty moments:

Oh, and Tad Morose, of course:

For utter insanity, it's hard to beat Biomechanical, though there are Pantera-esque vox. Plenty of clean, though, too.

Although "clean" is not a term I'd use for Charlie, I think Morgana Lefay might work for you:
