Hello again, just gonna chat a bit more shiz cos Im bored an just got proper knocked out on that bloody UFC game on the Xbox!!
Thought Id talk a bit about my vocal stylings for those of you who wanna know! Presuming youve been checkin out my work, most will be familliar with the more extreme end of my vocally spectrum, i.e. Sa-Da-Ko, which is what I have the most fun doin.
Metal vocals are a great release of emotions, as well as a good way of expressing something which the listener would have to struggle to ignore, thats if they can understand it!!! This fact in its self does not really bother me, Ive lost count of the number of times people have asked me just what the hell Im goin on about, (An thats when Im not even on stage!!) if you care enough to wanna know the lyrical content of a metal track, you gotta dig a bit deeper. Its not there for you on a plate as some pop or rock song would offer you! To me, metal vocals are another rythm, an added complexity over an already well rounded sound, and also there to keep the crowd rockin amongst everything else. Metal is, first and foremost, about the music, and has always been such. Because of the harshness of the sound with the guitars and drums, a singing style would not neceserily work all the time, a more aggressive vocal style fits nicely, (Or nastily!) and compliments the sound far greater in my opinion.

My appreciation for different styles of music I think has opened my eyes to slightly different ways of using the voice as an instrument, all of which collect in that dark corner of my brain, along with all the rest of my inspiration, ready to be spat out with venom, wether on stage or in the studio!
When creating or performing tracks I like to give it everything I have. Obviously the live performances benefit from a visual as well as an audiable point of view. But a full force recording in a studio will come accross much better than a half arsed, effects laden attempt! you have to get whatever you wanna convey to come out with feelings you project through sound from the voice!
So if you havnt already done so, check out my bands an that, an keep it brutal! Im gonna eat some raw meat with shards of rusty steel in it, washed down with a nice glass of vinegar an caustic soda.... I gotta go look after my voice!
