Ben Sotto (Heavenly)

[brutalnecrotorture92]

mi vocalista favorito del power metal!! \m/,

[lezardvp]

cual es la cancion del primer solo del video?

[winterbringer]

@lezardvp The first song is "Carry Your Heart" from their debut album "Coming From The Sky".

[lezardvp]

@winterbringer grasias =D



[UnholyX07Death]

i think he's the best power metal singer ever! =]

i also think heavenly is the best power metal band =]

HEAVENLY FOREVER!!!

[tkdliron]

how about making a video with the vocals of Kai Hansen :)

or Hansi from Blind guardian

they are both awesome singers

[sidewinderl]

Ben's my favorite, but a lot of his songs (most of the stuff not in the Dust to Dust album, which itself is pure perfection) would be a lot better if he sang lower more often. Imo, his 2 best songs (vocals) are Until the End and Dust to Dust.

[aorhardrock321]

Heavenly is great!!!!!!!!

[DioandMaiden]

He reminds me of Micael Kiske during early Helloween years.

[winterbringer]

Very good comparison! Their voices are pretty similar...

[dragonkhanrider]

I think it's more like a mix of kiske and kai's voices, that it's too great to be real O__O

[diegogbr1]

@DioandMaiden reminds to kiske and kotipelto. /m/m/m/m/ Power metal f***** rules!!!

[winterbringer]

@diegogbr1 You're right, man!

[SaTaNaSeR]

he´s just incredible. he makes some fast variations in highs, but he, the singer of burning in hell, and Kiske, the best Power Metal singers in history. LONG LIFE POWER METAL!!!

[winterbringer]

I agree with you but don't forget Timo Kotipelto of Stratovarius... He's a great singer as well...

[SaTaNaSeR]

yeah u´re right, but I prefeer André Matos. I think sometimes there istnt enough strenght in the voice of Timo, but still great.

[winterbringer]

Yes, Matos is a great singer even if sometimes (during live shows) his voice sounds a little bit childish...

[SaTaNaSeR]

yeah u´re right. but sometimes i wonder if Power Metal singers sing in natural voice, or sometimes in falsetto, because some of those high tones are nearly impossible to reach!!XD

[winterbringer]

Well, Power Metal vocalist often sing in falsetto... Just take into consideration the fact that Pavarotti used to hit B4 in "Nessun Dorma" in chesty voice while power metal vocalists usually sing in a higher register using falsetto (as noted in my videos)...

[kaiothais]

Its a monster!

[winterbringer]

Yes, he can rech very high notes. He's surely one of the greatest power metal singers...

[axisundone]

Great rundown! Have you thought about profiling low notes as well? There is a D2 in the low choir part in the chorus of Sign Of The Winner, but I don't know if that's Ben.

[jowox]

very nice overview! By taking it album by album one gets a feeling for evolution and changes in the voice.

In Destiny ben hits a harmony B5 at 2.00 and 3.20, his highest ever.

[Prosopagnosia11]

how about michel luppi of vision divine?

[winterbringer]

He's a very good singer but not among my favourite ones... Anyway if you're interested I can make a video...

[Prosopagnosia11]

it would be nice if you make a video of him and michael sweet

[winterbringer]

Here it is... Another great singer being able to reach very high notes... Nice falsetto...
