  • @BlessedRussian I didn't know russians could be blessed

  • Thank you so much for your prayers! Forgive us for being ignorant! We bow to you with a high RESPECT! God bless Tibet! Tibet is FREE!

  • If you liked this incredible display of chanting but thought is was to short take a look at "Pure Sounds" by the Gyuto Monks of Tibet. This is an entire album dedicated to the mystical chanting of the monks, available from New Earth Records.

  • Just needs kick ass english-American lyrics, some double bass, guitar, bass...and in a few years, they could be in Time Square as the best metal band ever

    Lol

  • Done properly, it shouldnt hurt your throat. It only hurts if you're using the wrong part of your voice. This goes for all forms of singing, and voice usage in general.

  • No, these types of singing (whether it's xoomei, gyuto, death growl, or just the generic raspy rock grit sound) if performed correctly are harmless to the vocal folds. The only problem is when someone who doesn't know the technique tries to mimmick it. They end up screaming or grunting...and of course it starts to hurt. But these guys (and Tuvan herdsmen, rock singers or death metal vocalists for that matter) SING, they DO NOT grunt/scream/whatever.

  • It has nothing to do with their throats...they are shaping their larynx (vocal chords) through controlled breathing techniques which changes pressure in the larynx which cause their vocal chords to vibrate at several frequencies simultaneously (the harmonic tones).

  • This is awesome, but their throats have to be killing them! I wonder how long they do this without a break.
