What happened with the singer?
Probably the last song of the set or something so his voice is all worn out....the song is also played to fast but dunno if that has anything to do with it.

That's what I'm hoping, if the whole DVD sounds like that they may as well of had Blakkheim do the vocals.

^It IS the last song of the set because in the end of the video Mike says thank you for checking them out and the band walks offstage.. But yeah I sure as hell hope his vocals aren't like that on it all. I'm going to check it out somewhere before buying it to see. Because if that is the way he sings all along then no thanks.

I have the bootleg and it seems mike sounded like that the whole show :s with the FTM songs it sounds ok but with the rest of the albums it kinda sucks, mouth of empty praise sounds awesome tho can't say the same about mass strangulation -.-

That sounds nothing like TFM. If he sounded that way in studio then they have a magical sound engineer

maybe they have one... anyways, it's the TFM kinda growl, you know, more articulated, not so deep and gutural, pretty much like vincent in domination, that's how it sounds live dude, I know it's fucked up -.- as I said I have the bootleg and it's mike's voice through the whole set, at times it seems they had a different vocalist compared to mike's wacken carnage performance.

Mike has been sounding like this for awhile now, not just on Watershed and The Fathomless Mastery and I'm no longer sure if it's a choice. Remember the video of [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB8mXWa-VgU"]Master's Apprentices from Wacken in '08[/ame]? That's the Watershed/TFM style but sounding the way it did on the record.
I have a feeling this is no longer the "David Vincent approach," as he described after recording TFM, but rather a deterioration. Of course there's always the chance that he/they actually thinks this sounds good, but I sure hope not.
Regardless, Unblessing the Purity may very well be the last great Mike death vocal performance. (Again, I sure hope not.)
Postscript - His sound in that "Eaten" video is not just because it's the last of the set - that's how he sounded during Hellfest and the three times I saw Opeth supporting Watershed.

I didn't know anything about that video, his voice sounds great there, and you just can't compare that to how he sounded at bloodstock, it's weird, I mean, you're supposed to gain stamina with such amount of time in constant touring, he's not that old yet to loose his growl :s

I'm comparing it because I think that video shows off a stylistic change ( and then watch the Wacken show again) whereas his performances after 2008 give the impression that he's starting to lose his ability to perform the death vocals well at all.
Again, it could've just been a rough couple of years, maybe he's trying different things, who knows. I'm just disappointed in the way he sounds now. It ruined the Royal Albert Hall DVD for me and I think it will do the same for this coming one.
