Typically, for metal you want louder, heavier cymbals, and often a dryer sound with a quicker decay. Most brands offer a wide variety of cymbals ranging from thinner, brighter cymbals to heavier metal type cymbals. You can usually find out in the description of a cymbal (if you're ordering them) what kind of sound they produce. Alot of sabian cymbals say in the name what they're for. I know they make a ride cymbal that says metal ride (really short, piercing sound).

If you wanna know what a full-setup needs, metal drummers are known for having huge setups with tons of cymbals. Mostly, this is for show and you really don't need that many. You, for sure, need a hi-hat (bigger rather than smaller), a ride, and for metal I would say two crashes, no smaller than 16", maybe a 16 and an 18, or an 18 and a 20. If you wanna go bigger, you can start adding more crashes, china crashes, splashes, any kind of effects cymbal you can imagine, stacked cymbals, piggy-back cymbals. The possibilities are endless.

Is it possible to become a heavy metal singer if you have a carnatic background?

Certainly. There are no 'requirements' as to what type of singer front a Heavy Metal band, and several Metal bands employ various types of vocals, such as Opera singers, first used sparingly by Celtic Frost, then later used by bands such as Theatre of Tragedy, Nightwish, After Forever, etc. Some singers don't have any formal background to speak of, whatsoever. So long as you can find a band that works for you, you can have any background imaginable.

What heavy metal band sings monster?

You're likely thinking of either Disturbed, Paramore, or Skillet - all of whom have a song by that name. Although often erroneously referred to as such, none of them are actually Metal bands. It's actually a very generic and common song title, used by both Metal and non-Metal bands, so if it's not one of those, you'll really have to narrow down the search parameters in order to find it.
