{Vocal Summary}
Replacement singers can either take a band to a different place as they were, stay the same or break the band. New Mexico native, Gage Speas of the pissed off metalcore band, To Speak Of Wolves definitely is the first scenario. Praised for his intense screams and emotional singing, Speas definitely made his mark on modern Christian metalcore. His delivery when it comes to screaming sounds similar to wailing out of tragedy, confusion or just a need to lash out all while being able to sound clear and controlled on the mid fifth octave. His singing is also a unique attribute being able to switch from harsh uncleans to cleans and even do a mixture of both in a few occasions. Speas also manages to use his lower register too unlike most contemporaries in which he can go almost lower than the mid second octave. While his discography is short, nevertheless, Speas has demonstrated an attribute most needed in music which is vulnerability and authenticity and no matter what the future holds for this hat maker it will kick ass.
