Is this Jonas Renkse on the upcoming Ayreon album?

Check the "guessing thread" on the Ayreon board:

Some think it's Jonas; I sort of thought of him as well but this guy also sounds like Danny Cavanagh and the dude from Riverside to my ears. What do the Katatonia experts think?

At any rate, this is the coolest sample I've heard from the new album yet.

When I listened it and read that thread, I was wondering if they're all deaf or something with most of these guesses, sounds to me soo clearly to be Jonas.
But maybe I'm the deaf one lol
And the roar at the end sounds a bit like the vocals he did in October Tide.

Definitely seems to be him, cool. I was already wondering when a new Ayreon album would be recorded. The sample is sounding very good.

 

[Deadlift]

The end is awesome. Sounds good overall.

Haha those guesses people had were so horrible. I think its fairly obvious to be Jonas.

 

[Blackened Rainbow]

ye its him.

 

[i aint play this]

yeah it is him and he sounds awesome as always, too good for a boring band like Ayreon.

 

[x_OPETH_x]

sure, it's Jonas....

but god...that pitch-correction is awful...he's not THAT great of a singer

 

[Tumn]

The people posting all these other names in that thread are mongoloids. Steven Wilson? lol

Definitely sounds just like Jonas.

renkse has a very original voice of his own, is a productive musician and can jot down some nice lyrics here and there from time to time. but is he a "good vocalist?" hardly. you know what i mean if you have heard him live

he sometimes is very similar to the cure's robert smith - the delivery and all, which isn't a bad thing at all. previously i think he used to lack confidence during live shows (like in that black sessions dvd) but he has improved a great deal now, as he was very good on that live consternation album.
