Today's video takes a decidedly different direction. Arch Enemy is a long standing, pioneering death metal band. In 2000, they brought in Angela Gossow to do vocals and it worked, with the band becoming as popular as ever over the past 14 years.
LOL
Huh?
I snorted my coffee when the vocalist opened her mouth and went all Cookie Monster. Found it really funny. Just wasn't expecting it, I guess.
Ah, gotcha. I can understand that reaction.
Yeah, that definitely wasn't what I was expecting either. I'm pretty sure I did a double take at my computer.
How does she make her voice sound like that? Is it an effect from the mic?
She's possessed by the devil. 😉
The mic helps, but really only in terms of volume. There's a right way and a wrong way to make that sound. The wrong way is just making your vocal chords do the work, which is quite bad for them. To do it right is a little weird feeling. The raspiness has to come from deep in the chest. I can do it, but its hard to describe how it feels.
