There's a Brazilian melodic metal band whose vocal sings in head voice and
falsetto only. He impressed my previous teacher because he shows no break
from one to the other register. MP3 samples of their songs can be found at
www.angra.net , under Sounds. A big surprise is their heavy metal version of
'Wuthering Heights', by Kate Bush. I'd like to have a feedback on him
open-minded listers.
Bye and thanks,
