Is this a bait thread?


I'm going to to something new. Lost Horizon isn't a good fit and not much is I have come to realize. I've basically figured out that I use half my voice doing normal metal vocals and use different weights to get the tone right to try to sing it just as it was done originally. The problem is that I have a much more massive voice than anything I've ever wanted to sing required. It's definitely clear and has plenty of treble and forwardness like a Tenor or countertenor's voice and it is totally lacking nasal quality, I also happen to have darth vader's thunderous Bass if you added an octave pedal to the mix in each direction. I did some solo recordings today and my voice is just everywhere at once and is up in your shit because it sounds like a really clean and sharp singer but there's no place to hide from the violent storm of converging air pressure vibrations.

They need to hire Ripper Owens and be done with it.

Yeah, I'm sure this thread started for you. You're horrible, please stop trying to justify your horrible voice.... you're tone deaf.

I love Ripper but, no.

Look they're trying to find someone with either Heiman's range or someone more powerful and quite frankly I don't think there is such a beast around otherwise they would have already found him.

Not many vocalists can pull of what Heiman did with LH but IMHO Ripper comes closer than anyone out there currently that I've heard so why not?

Yeah, okay that is why so many of the demos I sent out have to be redone because people think I am not nearly loud enough no matter how clear it is I am there or how loud I make it. It's so off key the voices meld together and into one

Jioti Parcharidis or Urban Breed would be nice in LH. But I agree with the Terror, they are (sadly) dead. Still, I play both albums religiously; it's the most uplifting music I have ever heard.

I think the best fit for Lost Horizon is Iuri Sanson from Hibria in his Defying the Rules form.

Good idea. Alexander's picks are good too. You guys just prove that LH *could* have a future.

I didn't mention Iuri because his voice in the latest album sound a bit, well, dry. But he was amazing in Defying the Rules.

Also, I'd throw in Kelly Carpenter from Beyond Twilight, Mark Basile from DGM, maybe even Michele Luppi from Vision Divine or Jonny Lindqvist from Nocturnal Rites. The last two beings stretches, but better than nothing I think.

I haven't given up hope yet, but this clear lack of interest from Wojtek is frustrating. I, as well as others, tried getting him to talk about LH on his facebook page(the LH site is truly dead) and he wouldn't even give a worthy response.

The worst part is that Daniel Heiman left this promising, already elite band to make Heed, which was OK at best, then quit that and joined some douchebag posers and created Lavett, which is such a steaming pile of shit.

I think the only one that matches the purity Heiman's voice is Elisa Martin (Dark Moor, Fairyland, Dreamaker). Judging from her perfomance with Fairyland I'm sure she could even do the old Lost Horizon songs justice.
