Harry "The Tyrant" Conklin is known as the powerhouse lead singer for such classic (yet underappreciated) metal bands as Jag Panzer, Satan's Host, and Titan Force. He's most known for his strong, powerful belted highs in the B4-D5 area, as well as his piercing Halford esque screams above that. He has some of the most over the top vocal performances in terms of metal style high notes I've heard. Despite having an underused lower register, he is also known for his smooth and at times operatic approach to the lower 3rd and upper 2nd octave.

Note: This thread hasn't been updated since 2015 and is therefore not an accurate portrayal of his recorded vocal range at the time of posting this. The extremities will require a fair bit of review in particular, which should happen in due time.

Oh hell yeah! Good to see this thread back. Guess it means we'll have to review that G♯6 again though...

[Siren]

6:17, have at it!

[Henny Macc]

I'm currently leaning towards fifth octave with overtones, after listening to it slowed down. The point where the "sixth" octave sound starts to kick in is right after it makes it up to around F5/F♯5, and then we don't hear any of the in between notes - it just sounds like he jumps an octave seamlessly (while in a slide, no less). Seems quite suspicious to say the least, and I'm not quite sure how that would be possible either...

[Captain Planet]

Or maybe the break simply comes from the fact that he is changing register.

[Henny Macc]

I'm not sure it's possible to jump an octave that seamlessly while doing a connected slide up like that; register break or not.
