Tbf the list of people who could scream as good as Chester is one person long and it’s just Chester

Agree to disagree there. There's plenty of high quality screamers around.

Women? I think they absolutely made the correct decision choosing a women to put some divide on the Chester comparisons. It would be so much worse with a male lead trying to replace him (even if they could scream as well)

Spiritbox and jinjer singer, poppy'z songs with bad omens and knocked loose. Not exactly the same style of scream, but there's women vocalists who scream

i’m a big poppy fan and i’ve seen her live but i really think she gets a lot of help on her screams. on the one occasion she did it live with no backing track it didn’t sound good
