Interesting, Ron always had a taste for vocal styles that I always disliked but I got over watchtower so maybe there is hope for this one aswell..

also, Ron update the news a few days back and said things are going slowly on the album again. He's waiting on vocal tracks and has a few solos to finish still. Watchtower hasn't progressed any, either. Hopefully at least Ink will get done this year.

Why in the hell do you guys want vocals in SI??? I would be much more happy to hear it purely instrumental.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

Because vocals are cool.

I don't, I want it instrumental aswell, especially since he seems to choose the prog vocal style which I have a hard time with.

 

[jimbobhickville]

I would vote for instrumental also. I don't like McMaster's style and I've never been a PoS fan. But, I'll still get it and just tune out the vocals like I do with Watchtower.

Nowadays I enjoy McMasters vocals on Energetic but I wonder what he sounds like today? The album sounds pretty raw but I pray that he hasn't developed into a truly clean vocalist, there is nothing worse in my view than clean singing high pitched male vocalists. But its still Spastic Ink, he could james Labrie on vocals and I would still listen to it so I have no worries. To bad he dislikes growling, it would be interesting to hear a ink tune with death metal vocals...
