wim and denis,
have either of you ever heard the metal band from norway, candlemass?
the lead singer is kristian johanssen's son (the father had a reasonable good
opera career in europe). the son trained as an opera singer and then
decided to pursue singing in a rock band instead. his singing is very
obviously operatic and, to quite a few metal aficionados, sounds pretty
silly. there are, of course, those metal fans who like his singing.
of all the pop styles, i think metal is the one most likely to tolerate
that which resembles the operatic. in most of the other styles, a larynx
that floats up with the pitch produces the desired timbre. however, in most
cases, it does not need to move as much as some think in order to produce the
desired results.
