This has been making the rounds, and I'm normally bit leery when see the words "metal" and "hymn" in a song description, but this guy pulls it off...




* he reminds me a bit of Jeff Tate.

Damn, that was really good.
 



This video makes me tear up every time I see it. The time when 5 cops were ambushed in Dallas. A very moving tribute.

He doesn't remind me of Geoff Tate at all. But it was very good nonetheless.

There's operatic metal, symphonic metal, folk metal, rap metal, pirate metal, viking metal, gothic metal, and so forth. I don't see why hymn metal would be surprising.

No, it's not "surprising" at all, as I said, it's just that I have reservations with that particular crossover b/c the two don't always mesh well, IMO...

For example: in one of my favorite hymns, I did cringe a bit at the 02:35-02:50 part...





Here's another one of my favorites (hymns), and he avoided the "throat singing*" in this one:




* Don't get me wrong, I do like listening to that style, but just not when it comes to "spiritual" hymns.

Oh, thank you for the Geoff/Jeff correction.. it seemed like something wasn't right when I typed it, but was too tired to check. BTW, the comparison was more in reference to his range. IMO, Tate had one of the most impressive vocal ranges of any singer (regardless of genre).

Range wise, yeah I agree.

I prefer the sound of a moderate female voice more than a more talented male one with hymns and shit. Just me.

But this dude can croon and then rip it appropriately with emotion.

Well, try this one:





* be sure to watch after the song for "Dan"s Law". :thumbsup

I already went down that rabbit hole. He is very very good.

The thing that pisses me off is that talent like his is relegated to the interwebs, meanwhile the Taylor Swifrs of the world get forced on us ad nauseam. 40 years ago, this guy would likely have been performing in stadiums/arenas.

Maybe not. Plenty of bands with extremely talented singers back then that practically no one heard of.

Probably the most talented singer I've ever heard with incredible range was Midnight from Crimson Glory and how many people could even name that dude?
