Stan Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Russell's the greatest natural imo. Have no idea how he gets so gritty. I've seen this guy live a couple of times and he sounds fantastic. what do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattofla Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Russell Allen and Roy Khan are my 2 major influences. Russell has a great voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 Russell Allen and Roy Khan are my 2 major influences. Me too. I listen to these two constantly. The only metal singers whose styles i want to incorporate into mine. Especially Khan's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srs7593 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 In the late 90's Russell sounded more like a traditional (you know what I mean by that) power metal singer. Nasely, clean, sharp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpall Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Stan, don't you have Raise your voice? How's that working for you? IMO, in CVT terms, Russel is using a lot of overdrive, curbing and even edge with distortion. Basically, loud, resonant, but free singing with rasp produced mostly by the false folds. That would be my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not familiar with CVT though, so i dont understand the terms, lol you know i heard in an interview Russ mentioned that he feels the gritty stuff coming from the back of his neck?...i could get a little rasp in there, but for me to do that, I use jaime's downwards push method, it works.

stew503 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Hi, Two things - for JP. 1st - JP - you should try this stuff too (when all is lost - symphony X). there was a differing types of sounds in there, which some you can CERTAINLY voice, would be good to hear this type of sound from you. Will happily work with you if req (post and ask - or pm me). 2nd - JP - due to experience in CVT and your readings - poss start a new post about CVT vs. other systems and the why / how / similarities / .etc between other systems - it'll make a very good post. Stew For me - that's one for the mp3 player too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
