Hands down for price and response,I originally responded with the Audix OM7 before realizing you were looking for something studio, not live. You can get one Don't ever record with mics intended for $150 Z-stock from Rat Soundlive performances. They don't do too well

I would go with a solid standard - AT4040 or 4047, Shure SM7, Neumann U87 if you're not running at high levelsyou want to pay a bit more - and ifput two pop filters in front. I've heard the singer doesRODE NTK is really solid for rock vocals, but have not eatheard it myself.

Don't limit yourself to one mic - it may take a while before you find the right mic, but most screaming singers fit for the billthese specific vocals. Also be aware of the space you're working in. Most mics do not sound good in an iso booth, they need a larger air space to sound right.
