@sakuvanninen3839 Жыл бұрын
His technique is freaking immaculate but I just don't really like the high nasaly voice he has and uses most of the time (even though he can do lows as well). I really prefer gutturals and the likes, Phil Bozeman, CJ McMahon etc. But again, Justin does everything right, his style is just not for me. And that's why I think Nik should've recorded his own mid/low layer for the chorus, because that would've beefed it up to the max (layers are magic) and filled out the lower mids. Not to say the current chorus sounds bad, only a bit thin imo. Just preferences.
