Diamanda Galas does glossolalia-inspired shrieking. Sometimes she does a kind of gospel instead, but that's pretty great too.

Author & Punisher makes doom metal with machines he builds.

I really like the vocal style in the first link, but the quality is super low. Is there an album of hers with that style you would recommend?

Is that doom metal? I'm sort of confused on what makes some of the modern subgenre distinctions, and always associated doom metal with guys like Electric Wizard. Cool nonetheless. The sound itself sort of gives me an early NIN type of vibe.

It's definitely not traditional doom metal, but doom is what he says he has in mind and there's definitely a family resemblance. I've seen him classified as industrial too, and I can see that as well. His bandcamp uses both as tags.
