As the multi-instrumentalist, primary songwriter, bandleader, and singer of the black/doom metal band Woods of Ypres, David Gold has become something of an icon in the underground Canadian metal scene. Until his unfortunate death in December of 2011, Gold released 5 Woods of Ypres albums that have all developed a considerable cult following. As a singer he's most known for his deep, bassy timbre (comparisons to Peter Steele often arise) most prominent on the posthumous Grey Skies & Electric Light album as well as his harsh vocals. While never thoroughly exploring high range singing, he did demonstrate considerable control over his 4th octave belting over his career and even managed to get some rather light, clean notes that you wouldn't expect from his reputation.

Just out of curiosity, what needs to be rechecked in this thread for it to be moved out of WIP? Last I checked the research here was pretty thorough/accurate.

[TheCMRecluse]

There's no day where I don't miss this man. R.I.P.

[Henny Macc]

Actually, I think I may have found something missing:

Is this a B♭4 in "Lightning and Snow"? Also repeats at 4:20. I can't tell for sure if it's actually that pitch though, or if it's a pitchless false cord scream that I'm hearing as that pitch because the other vocal is singing a B♭3.
Either way, there are also some G♭4s at 2:35 that I don't see in the OP.

[Zedd Squared]

Yeah I was always unsure on that one because Bb4 is definitely implied but the pitch doesn't seem definite enough to count as such. This thread could use some kind of update in general though, the formatting is very outdated and I know there are at least the notes you mentioned and the C#5 from And I Am Pining for You that aren't here. I guess that's why I kept it in the WIP section though lol. I'm adding the Gb4s now.

Damn didn’t know this guy died and he’s been dead since 2011 and only 31.

[queenfan11]

"Years of Silence (and the Private Joke)" has F#4s at 3:38. There's also an octave harmony in the chorus that goes down to at least Bb2, maybe G#2 as well.
