Jens Kidman.
More barking than growling, but awesome delivery regardless.

x2

some of the uncredited guys from a lot of whitehouse's work, some insane gutteral/poltergeist channeling sounding voices in there

X3. While Dani Filths voice is usually mocked as "cat raping" in metal circles, I agree that his range is incredible. Especially his banshee wail is incredibly shivering.

I think the peak of his vocal career is in From Cradle To Enslave song, it has it all perfectly mixed. Perhaps not the highest wailing like in older albums, but much more powerfull and ghastly (mixing trick I guess?). Pretty much only song from CoF I listen actively also.

To be honest, range isn't a big deal to me. I think that each singer seems to have a distinctive sound to their growl, and this is what I like about some more than others. It is true that the aforementioned Alexi Laiho may not be able to reach extreme highs or lows, but I like the distinctive sound he has.

I believe that the band Abnormality, known for their song Visions in Rock Band 2, has a female lead vocalist.

I don't know about growling, but I can think of a lot of hardcore and metal bands with female leads... Punch and iwrestledabearonce immediately come to mind.

Angela Gossow's different... but different doesn't have to mean good. I'm not a fan, personally.

I'm a big fan of the black metal rasp. Of the few I've heard, I'm a big fan of:
Shagrath (Dimmu Borgir, have only heard early stuff)
Jon Nödtveidt (Dissection)

Also
I love Mikael Akfeldt's (Opeth) early stuff.
Mike Patton (Faith No More) is amazing.
Maynard Keenan (Tool) is even more amazing.

Can't stand cookie monster

. It's an unfortunate byproduct of a genre I'm really enjoying. But I can look past it.

Chrissy Amphlett was the singer for the Divinyls, and yes, she was pretty damn good at what she did.

Some dudes named Dylan and Armstrong, kinda new

I feel the same way. Although I agree with Oggranak that some appropriately used growling/screaming can really add some punch at the right times.

Devin Townsend, Mikael Akerfeldt, and Dustin Kensrue (Thrice) are my favorites.

Neurosis is probably the only band I've heard with harsh vocals that I actually prefer over clean ones. Scott Kelly and Steve Von Till's raw voices just make perfect sense with that band (and they are comprehensible, which I appreciate).

Randy Blythe from Lamb Of God. That little knucklehead means business.
