Each brought their own unique flavor. Johan was the ultimate epic doom vocalist, Messiah gave the band a larger scope, the dude who sang on the Sabbath worship albums gave them part of the Sabbath sound they were going for while having charisma of his own, and Robert Lowe was their charismatic everyman singer who was wicked talented while also having a down-to-earth edge that the others lacked. Mats and the dude who sang on their fifth album are kinda generic though, despite their talent.
The dude's an amazing vocalist, but he's the most different of their singers. He's actually my favorite, but I can understand why other fans would be off put by him.
I don't know who was the first but this song is great. I like the official performance by Messiah more than this one, but it's not a reason for another holywar, I think.
@nikkisixxfan86 Yes, and I say thank god for that! Although this version is also pretty sweet. Why is it I like the other vocalists all better than marcolin? lol
Fantastic job guys! I was greatly (and pleasantly) surprised at the vocals. I admit I hadn't expected Thodoris to sing so well. Bravo. I also liked Antony's solo :)
OH? hell no, given that it is a matter of opinion I must say that Robert Lowe has a metal voice BUT, that's where it stops, OK? when darkness fall in paradise it will be Messiah Marcolin who will ring in the final chapter of this wretched life. enough of that, now yes Robert Lowe can sing because I definitely can't but Messiah Marcolin's voice is the definition of end's time prophesy.
