"Nephilim" backing vocals Jonas or a chick?

[batmura]

Guys, I'm sure anyone who's given "Nephilim" some spins has noticed the eerie backing vocals with the cool "la la lala" part at the end. Whenever it comes on it sounds exactly like a female singer singing with Jonas though I've read people saying that there's no female vocalist in there.

Can anyone clarify or share their thoughts on this?

Cheers!

it does indeed sound like a girl, and i have often wondered the same.

I'm not sure, I'm guessing it's Jonas doing the backing line ultra high since there's no chick listed?

^would agree. If there's nothing in the credits, I doubt there was a guest singer present. Maybe Anders kneed Jonas a bit to make the highs.

Agreed. That is definitely a chick. Maybe Frank Default synthesized those vox with his super-magiK-synthesizer

There isn't a female vocalist listed in the credits on the album package itself. Katatonia uses a pretty wise spectrum of effects. That being said, I'm sure it's just Jonas singing through some sort of vocal effects processor or pitch shifter.
