Ayreon - The Fifth Extinction (Vocal Cover)

I made this video as a tribute to all the amazing talents behind the song "The Fifth Extinction" on Ayreons album "01011001". In my opinion this the best best album from Arjen yet and is totally unbelievable. I covered the middle part because it's undoubtedly my favorite part on the entire album. It showcases most of the male singers of the album, and I noted which parts belong to who. (Sorry if the names became annoying, heh.). Also, as I said before I put an icon behind this video because I shot this at night, and it was much to dark to really enjoy.

(P.S. the only part that came out kinda meh is the word "Cast" in Jorn's first part a few seconds into the video. I think it's a little flat.)

Artists featured: Daniel Gildenlow, Jorn Lande, Steve Lee, Tom Englund, Bob Catley, Hansi Kursch, Floor Jansen, Anneke van Giersbergen, Jonas Renkse. And last but not least, written by Arjen A. Lucassen

Enjoy!

Inspiring.

Love how you utilize your vibratos without overdoing it and that flexible voice on top of it.

What band are you in? And if you're not it's a damned shame since I'd like to hear more :)

[Unflexablegrace]

I'm in a band called "Athem" and I'm a part of a project called "Purity". You can check purity out on my youtube and I should have some Athem stuff uploaded shortly.

Send this to Arjen - I bet you he might be impressed because this was actually fucking awsome - your best work so far.

[Unflexablegrace]

He's actually seen it, he said he liked it. He was also fairly impressed with my "Eye of Ra" video too.

Cheers

[kdiamond]

Congrats on that, how did you get him to watch it?

[Unflexablegrace]

Well, to be honest, without seeming "braggy". I just logged on one day and had a message in my inbox from him.

Cheers!

WOW.

[toniviguncio]

so versatile, dude, you're amazing!!!

[unluckyfellow88]

Wow... I`m an Ayreon Fan for years and I`m very impressed by this! :-)

I remember discovering your profile some years ago by stumbling across a Symphony X cover you did.

I´d really love to hear you with support from a real band one day, maybe performing your own songs. That would definitely be a Band I`m after!!! =)

Whatever you`re future plans are:

Good Luck! :-)

Hey dude, been working on covering this song for awhile... The album is crazy I love it so much. Arjen is indeed very talented as with all the musicians on the albums. You did a great job here, covering the styles of 6 different singers is definetly not easy!! I can hit the high notes perfectly but I cant seem to grasp the grit behind them like u have done here! But awesome cover dude, you worked very hard as we can see. keep it up!

[XxDeineOmmaxX]

Oh my god, that's one of the best cover, I've ever heard! \m/ You can immitate all singer perfectly..

[adrianvaksdal]

you shoud record this again, and not record it in one take, and also you should doubble your voice six times or so (i think thats on the album) at the chorus

[psachetti]

I liked, but Jorn Lande cover is terrible.

[NagMaaf]

"I see your plant..." is my fav of your singing :D Fantastic!

[NagMaaf]

Great singing :)

[Shilven]

Dude... you demotivated me. I won't use my microphone for next few days from now... xD

Every voice is so perfect. Arjen should 'use' you ;)
