Like Thule. (Incredible band btw)

Ulver, Arcturus, Ved Buens Ende, Virus.

I haven't usually listened to music with vocalists that have very low registers, but depending on the sound, it could be amazing. I have also enjoyed music that always has a bass/baritone harmonizing with a tenor or another deep voice.


So, maybe some of you guys know?

Now for metal stuff I mean deep singers, not growlers. Don't care how deep someone can growl.

But... Any Prog rock genre will do :)

Let's hear it for Peter Steele...RIP big guy!  "October Rust", "Life is Killing Me" & "World Coming Down" all have some great doom metal-proggish moments along with Peter's super deep vocals.

My favourite deep prog voice is Frank Zappa.  Also, didn't Ray Shulman sing all the low parts in the Gentle Giant harmonies?

Eric Clayton of Saviour Machine has a great opera-style baritone voice (the band itself is progressive/gothic metal, great epic stuff).
You love the music, the music loves you!

they are called Slipknot (not Slip Knot) but maybe you wrote it like that on purpose for not to let us detect a fanboy. Wink Cool

I have an album by a band named Cynosura which is really good. The singer has the baritone sound for sure. The problem is that they seem very much unknown - can't find a trace on youtube to put up for you. The only thing I can find is this http://soundcloud.com/craig-mcconnell-cynosura/431-unfinished which doesn't have the singer involved which is unfortunate as his voice is rich and very good. The album is named 431.
It seems that the vocalist is now unfortunately deceased and thus they may remain very much unknown - the album is a treasure.
You can hear samples of the band here as well.

Just thought of another couple great baritones...though not strictly prog...more doom/goth metal with prog leanings.  First, My Dying Bride - their 1st album As The Flower Withers is straight grunt and growl doom (not remotely what you're looking for) but ones released in the 2000's are clean vocal proggy goth metal.  Second, November's Doom - their album "The Knowing" is also proggy goth metal with great clean deep vocals.

Ian Anderson sings in baritone range. Well, if we're saying Greg Lake does that is.

In the 90s for sure. Can't go wrong with Roots to Branches. Thumbs Up

Therion has had a slew of great baritones and basses since they started seriously experimenting with choral voices on Lepaca Kliffoth.

By that token, Reverend Bizarre might be of interest to you. Doom metal with baritone vocals, intricate power trio dynamics that often sound closer to mid-'70s King Crimson than anything from the Cream/Hendrix/Sabbath family tree not to mention extremely ambitious songs that meticulously build up and release tension over 10-20 mins. At least one member later popped up in Le Orne.
