You might like King Diamond – Sleepless Nights. Really anything King Diamond or Mercyful Fate, especially off the Songs for the Dead Live tour.
That was sick. Coming from a not metal head
Also Welcome Home. First thing that came to my head when I saw this thread haha
I dunno about the highest I’ve ever heard, but I really like the scream at around 0:33 in Death Grips - You might think he loves you for your money but I know what he really loves you for it’s your brand new leopard skin pillbox hat
Probably Diamanda Galas. Saw her perform in the mid 90s.
Fleurety. This vocalist did permanent damage to his vocal chords.
Another winner.
Not me, but my dog.
Back when CDs were a new thing, there was this song I can’t remember, that used something like a 21KHz tone as part of a “scream”. By then I was old enough to barely hear up to 20KHz, but my dog jumped up and scowled at it.
Deftones - Knife Prty comes to mind. The chick can wale.
The lead singer Michael Sweet of Stryper has one of the highest falsetto tenor voices I’ve ever heard. Though i am far from religious at all anymore, yes i needed clarify that first, I still love Stryper a christian glam metal band form the 80’s. Mike could really wail, and still does. I still think they just all out ROCK even today.
He really showcases his highs in this song along with Oz Foxes shredding echoing his vocals kind of like Anselmo and Dime in Cemetary gates in this one. ( warning cheesey christian lyrics, but truly excellent voices and musicianship) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERMKZhFwGEU 80’s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7ecl6Hm0Mk 2014 STILL ROCKIN (at 1:26 you can hear Mike bring that high note)
Another I’d also include is Don Dokken that guy before he damaged his voice was also a glam metal high note king.

Not menacing but I will gladly accept it.
Pantera’s Phil Anselmo on the Cemetary Gates outro, battling with Dimebag’s pinch harmonics as the track is about to fade out is an insane powermove. I’d link with a timecode, but the track must be listened to from start to end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVMvART9kb8

Vocal damage.
Not the highest, but one of my favorites is Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden.
