You've apparently never heard Disturbed then. The lead singer can do things with his voice I've never heard anyone do before. I agree, there are some screamo bands out there who can arguably even call themselves singers, but most of the time, the lyrics aren't fully screamed through the whole song. There is "singing" too, but most of it is done with a deep rolling "demonically posessed" voice.
I'm mostly into rock, but I do listen to metal too. Linkin Park can also somewhat be called "screamo", or as they prefer "Rap Metal" because of the rap and metal components that merge to become a single kind of music. Their newer Album is more soft though, there isn't as much screaming and rapping, making it a more mature style of music. Their newer CD definitely isn't as popular as their earlier ones of Hybrid Theory or Meteora, but I think it's their best sounding music to date. I takes on a more rock feel, and as a result, is easier to listen to for a wider range of people.
My favs:
*Disturbed
*Drowning Pool
*Papa Roach
*MudVayne
*Seether (they're more of a soft metal)
*Linkin Park
