Female voices?

[Crimson Indifference]

I was jsut wondering what other people thought of the idea of opeth using female voices in some songs. A friend and I were discussing it and I now its not their style but I still think they could pull it off. Any thoughts??

i would like if they tried it...i think they should try lots of stuff...

 

[deliverance]

i think it would be cool, if done taylored to their music, but not to the extent of the CoF women making orgasm noises.

 

[AbsentFriend]

I think it would be cool, kinda like early Paradise Lost

Well, maybe for one song or something, but it depends on the singer. I don't like thaaat much female vocalists, but Ayreon's THE for example has some very good ones on it. Also if they did it, please not in a heavy song, but a mellow one. But well, I don't like the idea that much, but it would be interesting. Maybe something like Mike and Wilson on Bleak?

I agree. One song, mellow, and a vocal duo with Mike, not something like "That chick and the Opeths".

That girl from Paatos has one nice voice.

thats because paatos is better than just about any band anyone can think of.

 

[synergy]

even though I hate Cradle of Filth, that one chick that sings on Nymphetamine has a pretty good voice

I swear Ill never mention CoF on these forums again

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

dont worry, i agree with that comment on nymphetamine... and that lady isn't even a member of CoF.. but she has a good voice... i forget who it is, surely someone here must know

 

[RavenousDaemon]

Her name's Sarah Jezebel Deva.

I think they should get a lady to sing with Mikael at the same time.... and they should get Per And Peter to do the backing vocals....

If they can pull it off as well as Draconian does, then I'm all for it. Might as well experiment at least once, right?

That chick that sings on Nymphemetamine[sp?] has been doing backup vocals for Cradle for a long time... check past album jackets... she's in there.... I know she performed on Damnation and a Day....

Yeah she did the chicks voice in manequin and in a few other songs as well but cof have had various female vocalists help out over the years. But as for opeth I think they could pull it off if they tied it in well but then again there isn't much that they couldn't pull off if they tried hard enough.

Yeah that's a pretty good example.

One very nice female / male duet which comes to mind is Dark Tranquillity's Insanity's Crescendo from the Mind's I album. The girl's voice is pretty good and contrasts very well with Mikael Stanne. I wouldn't mind Opeth giving it a shot.

i thought her work on nexus polaris wasn't bad.

I am sorry, but Sarah Jezebel Deva is a terrible singer. I was very unimpressed by her performance on the Cradle DVD. And she's hideous and disgusting as well. There are at least 5 dozen superior female metal singers out there.
