Sending for Round 6 shortly.
BTW about the Ihsahn album, it's not really that black metal-ish, the new one has a lot of hard rock type songs and it also features Trivium singer Matt Heafy which I figured you might be into. Man I suck at choosing my guest vocalists, first the Soilwork singer I'm leaving out and now Trivium.. I should look into these picks a bit more before sending luckily this time I didn't send anything with guest vocalists.
Fuck man, you should have sent me that one.
Also, Chad, told you Phantasma won't work.
Indeed you did. That's cool. I am gonna change his mind with female metal singers though.
Be careful Chad please.
When it comes to female vocals, I don't know, it's tough, they are fine in albums like The Human Equation and stuff like that. I like Magali Luyten quite a bit, vocals like that are good. But when it comes to sweet chick voices, it's pretty hit and miss with me. Amanda Sommerville is probably an exception. I guess I'm trying to say that female fronted stuff isn't really what I might be looking for here.
Ok, you redeemed yourself by liking IQ, but I don't think you're writeup made me want to dig further into my very deep well of prog music, Going with a different gameplan.... sending now...
You're a smart bloke RJ, looks like my writeup portrayed my thinkings well. I did love that song though and do want to have a look into them. I guess heavy prog stuff wasn't what I was going into this for either, but stuff like The Road of Bones changes that, great song.
