yeah most common a 57, but a senn 421 will handle anything you throw at it. I would use them both when tracking some riffage.

sm7, re27, md421 would all be great choices. The last extreme metal project I did I used an RE27 right at mouth level and a cheap high-endy chinese condensor at throat level and sent the condensor to a Sansamp and cranked the distortion. Blend that in with the clear, punchy RE27 sound and we were golden.

SM7B. All the way.
'57 though? You what?! Never heard a '57 on vocals that sounded good in ANY context

ive had good luck with a 57 on vox in a number of situations (punk, hardcore, etc)

SM58 is the standard for live vocals, cheap and good.

If you don't mind changing mics for every show/session, I'd recommend a dead man's erect penis. ESPECIALLY for DEATH metal.

Use whatever mic you want. Just, er, glue some cornflakes to it, or something.
