I guess it's all how it's done. Some songs it suits, others it doesn't. For my band we're specifically tailoring the other instrumentals to make the keyboards fit as we find it realy brings into the mood.
Yah... I have to agree. It has to be done my someone who knows what they're doing to. And if your doing Raw Black Metal or Death Metal... not the best styles of music to put it in.
I'd have to say Shaggrath from Dimmu Borgir. His voice just realy hit me off. Not my favorite band (3rd favorite actualy), but vocally... fucking wicked.
Is no one else annoyed by King Diamond's falsetto? I mean, once in a while it is interesting, but he does it too much during every song. And I actually think his normal voice sounds better.
