Day 28: A song with great vocals

Young Rob!

"Said in the cosmos is a single sonic sound
That is vibrating constantly
And if we could grip and hold on to the note
We would see our minds were free..."

Judas Priest - Dreamer Deceiver

Day 28: A song with great vocals

The Swedish metal band Amaranthe likes to mix things up. They mix styles, and genres, but plenty of bands do that. What sets them apart is the vocals. Rather than one lead singer, they have three. First is Elize Ryd, who has a beautiful, pure soprano. The second singer is Joacim Lundberg, who performs as "Jake E". He has a compelling voice, with a nice, clear tone, so much so that they describe is position in the band as "Clean Vocals." Which leads us to Andy Solveström, who sings in a more grindcore, rough style. It shouldn't work with the other two, but it really kind of does, and sets them apart from most other power/symphonic/"pop" metal bands.

I like to use this song to introduce metal to people who say they hate metal. "Amaranthe," in this case, means "unfading or ageless" and it is also the theme to the song.

"Amaranthine," Amaranthe.

Hehehe great choice! Have had the pleasure of drinking with them quite a few times, Elise's pub of choice was the Anchor in stockholm whenever they were around. Oldschool hard rock pub, great place!

Day 28- Songs with great vocals.
To use an overused phrase but in this case is spot on. Eva Cassidy could sing the phone book and have us all enthralled. Fields of Gold is one of her best.

Oh! I love this song. Never heard this cover before.

Day 28: A song with great vocals

Be it iron or copper, steel or bronze, not all metal is forged the same.
In the middle of a molten sea there sits a tower, a shining beacon lighting the way for others to follow.

Blind Guardian sounds like nothing else. Hansi Kursch has a voice like no other, it's nasally and strange and otherworldly and it fits perfectly with the music they perform. A rare form of metal. An alloy forged in high fantasy.

Day 28: A song with great vocals

This song title "Я о́чень рад, ведь я, наконе́ц, возвраща́юсь домо́й" translates to "I'm happy Because I'm Returning Home" is kind of like the National Anthem of the early Internet. Eduard Khil (Эдуард Хиль) is a fantastic baritone and this song is a vocal masterpiece

I'm gonna just call it the Trololol Song though.

Trololol Song - Эдуард Хиль

 

[BreukelenAnima]

Yeah, when that fog horn blows
I will be coming home
Yeah, when that fog horn blows
I wanna hear it
I don't have to fear it
And I wanna rock your gypsy soul

I could listen to that on a continuous loop....and be inspired.

Best one-hit wonder by a werewolf and Dr. Pepper crooner...

"Makin' it?" ...Sure... fuck it, why not?!

I always enjoy a prompt that sparks an instant idea in my head, and makes me know exactly what I want.
This song had me addicted from first listen, and the passage of time has not diminished my appreciation.
