Nevermore might scratch that itch, depending on what you mean by it. Maybe not though since I'm sure there are hundreds of thrash bands with strong clean singers like Warrel Dane.
>>60375284
I know there's at least one industrial math metal band but I can't remember their name at all, sorry. It was like DEP but chuggier and with more abrasive electronic elements.

I think you might like Dismantled's self-titled album. Unfortunately Gary seemed to like the sound of his voice too much to continue with that style.

Or, if you want to go into less mainstream territory, a lot of Dance-punk could arguably fall into this territory. Stuff like Liquid Liquid, ESG, A Certain Ratio, Gang of Four (though I'm not too sure about that last one)

I never really thought of them like that before, but I guess you're right, though I only have Before The Dawn which I found to be really all over the place. Weirdly enough, it's the more rock-y tracks from it I liked the most, like Teen Angst and A Guitar And A Heart.
