Classically Trained Musician Weighs in on Metal Vocalists
Choice quote, on Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden:
He achieves an intensely rhythmic delivery of the lyrics without losing legato and musical momentum, something a lot of classical singers struggle with, especially when interpreting the many staccato and accent markings that crowd scores by Bellini, Donizetti, etc.
My roommate at school last year actually did a psychological experiment on metal v. classical music, this article is dope. Read it.
