whole thing's incredible every time he does it, but 5:15 to the end on this version guys...just, holy shit. I love he just completely rests for a few bars before popping right into those held out screams.

This singer sounds fantastic. Guy is one of the best recent singers in metal but is hardly known. He sounds like Mike Howe (Metal Church) meets Rob Halford or something. 2:25 to 4:15 are some of his favorite lines of him. Thoughts?

When does this guy use full blown head voice(No Chest resonance being brought up through vowels or anything) I believe it is around 5:18. And is he straining?

exact same, idk what Streisand does, I probably wouldn't be ultra hot on it musically, but Bjork is something else. Not something I want to listen to every day, but I have those days where I'm just in the perfect mood to indulge in her brilliant creativity and unhindered expression. It's taking me years to gradually work through her catalog - I was hooked on all of Homogenic and a few songs from Post in a matter of weeks but I really have to listen to her more out there stuff more rarely to fully appreciate it.

Post and Homogenic are great. You should definitely check out Medulla; almost everything on that album was voice-generated. It's a really neat experiment in voice, and has some neat cameo appearances.

being a metalhead you might be interested to know that chuck billy from Testament trained under the same opera coach Streisand trained with. Chuck sang just as harsh as Hetfield yet has retained his voice because his technique is healthier. He still has a tape from 25 years ago of his opera teachers scales and he runs through that for 1 hour to warm up before each show.

Wow, small world! He's got a great voice man. You might be interested to know that James Murphy, former guitarist for Testament, recorded/produced my band's release in 2009! Learned a bit about Chuck from that experience too, and the more I learn, the more I grow to appreciate him. The Gathering is a great, heavy album.

Those are two great singers! I've been a Bjork fan for quite some time. I'm not too familiar with Barbara Streisand's catalog, but I do know she's a hell of a singer. 19 second belt, wow! Brutal.

Cruel deceiving humans. I always wondered why the vibrato stopped and started again halfway through LOL

Anyways here's the original, at 2:28. Only 8 seconds now, but still cool the way she holds the note so stable.

This is the longest I've heard though, at 3:28:

Laugh

So, I'll play. How about a face-melting B4 sustained for 12 seconds? Cool It occurs at 7:52-ish.

What I love about Maynard's belting is that it only has the slightest hint of grit in it, but still sounds insanely pissed off.

that Ian Gillan scream was just head voice. Most G5's are

But it seems he has managed to, with many other singers, to pull up chest resonance into the sound

Yes he has. Nothing extraordinary about that. Take a look at the video Felipe posted in another thread about head voice vs. falsetto. At times he demonstrates what he terms as falsetto without the head voice posture. That's all Ian is doing up there I think.

That being said it needs a certain amount of head resonance in order for him to even get up that high - so I would call it an M2 coordination but with mixed resonance qualities of chest and head - it has the release of head resonance but the open belty sound of chest which is achieved by keeping the vowel more open like a wide AA or AH, rather than covering it. But it can't be TOO open or else the singer will lose control, it's a delicate balance of the necessity of head resonance and intention of chest resonance.

Another way to think of it is just belting in M2.

Very common technique for that note, it's also used by Robert Plant and others

Basically, its in mixed voice
