{Questionable Notes}
C6 ("Burn In Hell" [1])
E♭1 ("Black Horsemen" live Chile 2017 [4])
.......................................................
[1] marks yelps and short trills in high range or anacrusis and short dips in low range.
[2] marks notes of questionable identity that cannot be confirmed to be the singer in question.
[3] marks non-melodic notes that don't have a significant enough pitch to warrant inclusion.
[4] marks notes that possess uncertain pitch or have been pitch-shifted.
[5] marks notes that do not fit the previous criteria but are not of a substantial enough quality to warrant counting towards the singer's range.
I've chosen to not mark his screams from Black Rose as blue since he actually demonstrates the ability to mix in those albums as shown in this E5 from Radar Love.
