That's how I felt for Annette Olson with Nightwish. She was limited in the records, but when I saw her perform Dark Chest of Wonders live I had no doubts that she was meant to do this.

Do you know which song it is taken from, thanks in advance for the answer.

Tears for a father - Seventh Wonder

So true

But i prefer roy

Kamelot had two prior singers before Roy khan

Of course, in Kamelot he has to try and sound like Roy Khan

+Jorge Mendieta Totally agree. Kamelot was a better band with Roy Khan, especially The Black Halo. Khan had the emotion in that band then that Tommy had(s) in SW on Mercy Falls and The Great Escape and Waiting in The Wings.

Jorge Mendieta Drums his first kamelot album is not great but in the latest one he sings more natural

Eric M He could go higher I'd say. He can belt an Eb5 in chest voice, I've so far only achieved an F4 in chest voice and I can hit an Eb6 in head voice.

Intro: Prodigal Son (Kamelot) Songs (in order, lots of repeats): - One Last Goodbye (Seventh Wonder) - Welcome to Mercy Falls (Seventh Wonder) - One Last Goodbye (Seventh Wonder) - Pieces (Seventh Wonder) - My Confession (Kamelot) - Pieces (Seventh Wonder) - Song for Jolee (Kamelot) - Pieces (Seventh Wonder) - Falling like the Fahrenheit (Kamelot) - Veritas (Kamelot) - Veritas (Kamelot) - My Confession (Kamelot) - Ashes to Ashes (Kamelot) - My Confession (Kamelot) - Welcome to Mercy Falls (Seventh Wonder) - Welcome to Mercy Falls (Seventh Wonder) - Prodigal Son (Kamelot) - My Confession (Kamelot) - Pieces (Seventh Wonder) - Sacrimony (Kamelot) - Pieces (Seventh Wonder) - Solitaire (Kamelot) - Veritas (Kamelot) - Falling like the Fahrenheit (Kamelot) - One Last Goodbye (Seventh Wonder) - One Last Goodbye (Seventh Wonder) - Silverthorn (Kamelot) - Torn (Kamelot) - Torn (Kamelot) - Tears for a Father (Seventh Wonder) - Unbreakable (Seventh Wonder) - Unbreakable (Seventh Wonder) - Prodigal Son (Kamelot) - Sacrimony (Kamelot) - Sacrimony (Kamelot) - Veritas (Kamelot) - My Confession (Kamelot) - Sacrimony (Kamelot) - Tears for a Father (Seventh Wonder) - Pieces (Seventh Wonder) - Sacrimony (Kamelot) - Tears for a Father (Seventh Wonder) - Ashes to Ashes (Kamelot) - Welcome to Mercy Falls (Seventh Wonder) - Welcome to Mercy Falls (Seventh Wonder) - Veritas (Kamelot) - [Unsure] (Seventh Wonder) - Hide and Seek (Seventh Wonder) - Welcome to Mercy Falls (Seventh Wonder) - [Unsure] (Seventh Wonder) - Star of David (Seventh Wonder) - One Last Goodbye (Seventh Wonder) - Solitaire (Kamelot) - [Unsure] (Seventh Wonder) - Star of David (Seventh Wonder) - Edge of My Blade (Seventh Wonder) Outro: [Unsure] (Seventh Wonder) Sorry it's not complete/organized by note/doesn't have the exact timestamp, but they should all be in order of appearance, and I hope this helps!! ^_^

Ellyosa Thank you very much friend.. \m/

Ellyosa The 3 you are unsure about are all "Break The Silence".

Mitch Coull It's close, but the end of Alley Cat is an F5. Still damn impressive to do that and his voice still sound so powerful.

It's an F#. On guitar that would be e string 14th fret

F# indeed.

Old argument is old, but I still get an F5 when playing it to a keyboard. (I've also charted the song as a custom in Rock Band, which the vocal MIDI note also gives me an F5. I tried F#5 and it clashes with the actual note in the song.) To put it to the songs chord at the point (which is Eb major), an F# would clash against the chord as a minor 3rd. F natural as a 9th works much better, but now I'm spouting music theory which really doesn't mean much in this scenario since vocalists tend to get a bit more free will on what they wanna do lol

Thank you for your suggestion, I've changed it :)

Prodigal Son :)

Actually, the title should say "Tommy Karevik's (Kamelot/Seventh Wonder) Vocal Range". It definetely should mention Seventh Wonder but Kamelot as well since Tommy is currently in both bands. And you can't say that Seventh Wonder is better than Kamelot because they are two different bands in two different subgenres of metal, therefore aiming for two different sounds. If you ask me, they are both great at they do, just not comparable.

subwaytosally18642 I've just changed the title, thanks for suggestion! No idea why I hadn't named it that way in the first place. Thanks :)

two very different bands. both awesome. no need to pick one over the other cause in the end music is all about personal preference. Let's just agree that Tommy is amazing. :D :)

He is no Khan and not getting into a pissing match but let the youtube views be the judge

lul, well played

Haha, hell yeah! It was amazing right? I mean, of course, every singer on every Ayreon album is insane.. But Tommy was my favorite on The Theory of Everything. And the Father was a close second.

Jason yeah, Tommy was my favourite singer in that album too, he's got a great voice and he is self-taught, hope to hear more like that on his next projects

Jason I love the Prodigy/Father duets. =)

flying pig 77 Oh wow! I didn't know he was self-taught! That's amazing! Issela Santina Haha, then you my friend have great taste! ;)

yeah, he said in an interview that he didn't get vocal lessons at all, just practiced and practiced, and he also gave some tips he uses to keep his voice in good shape. That's what I call talent in its purest form

Its Tears for a Father off Mercy Falls

There you go: (Scheme: Song -Band-Album) Intro: Prodigal Son (Kamelot, Silverthorn) One Last Goodbye (Seventh Wonder, Mercy Falls) Pieces (Seventh Wonder, Waiting in the Wings) My Confession (Kamelot, Silverthorn) Song for Joleee (Kamelot, Silverthorn) Falling Like the Fahrenheit (Kamelot, Silverthorn) Veritas (Kamelot, Silverthorn) Ashes to Ashes (Kamelot, Silverthorn) Sacrimony (Kamelot, Silverthorn) Solitaire (Kamelot, Silverthorn) Silverthorn (Kamelot, Silverthorn) Torn (Kamelot, Silverthorn) Tears for A Farther (Seventh Wonder, Mercy Falls) Unbreakable (Seventh Wonder, Mercy Falls) Break the Silence (Seventh Wonder, Mercy Falls) A Day Away (Seventh Wonder, Mercy Falls) Star of David (Seventh Wonder, Waiting in the Wings) The Edge of my Blade (Seventh Wonder, Waiting in the Wings) Outro: Break the Silence (Seventh Wonder, Mercy Falls) This was fun to do! I know the songs well enough to recognise them without help by just hearing the short snippets in the video. Sometimes if i was unsure, the song kept playing in my head and then I knew which one it was. In case you haven't, give Seventh Wonder a listen. Amazing band and Tommy shows off a bigger range than in Kamelot.

+subwaytosally18642 Yesterday i actually remembered me writing this comment and not expecting someone to reply, Thanks for that and yes i have been listening to Seventh Wonder a lot lately

synysterxdave how does that statement make sense?

+Andrés Mauricio Padilla Bolaños One last Goodbye (Seventh Wonder Mercy Falls)

Look for my comment then someone replied to it with the list

Break the Silence, from one of the most masterful albums in progressive metal, Mercy Falls. (Seventh Wonder)

Little late, but 4:41 is the final "SOOOOOOLD!" from the first song of Seventh Wonder's album Waiting in the Wings - Star of David.

Mike Greenwalt god bless you,than you!!! :D

Natalia Glaridi No problem. I wish they'd played that song live in Atlanta. :(

S C G Collantes Silva sacrimony angel of after life

It is also about the vocal range :)

Roy was a lyric tenor during his early years, after TBH he was a baritone.

***** F5 is pretty damn high tho lol i think he fits the requirements for a high tenor on both range and timbre.

his timbre is little darker. i would say hes a a low tenor. or baritenor. his 2 octave notes are too strong for a full tenor.

MissyCaitz definitely off Mercy Falls, I think it's Welcome to Mercy Falls (track 3)

That was it! Thank you!

Karevik is better than khan

JimK nope, a few miles above him... ;)

Khan was and always better than this Karevik

No. It's perfect. Other singers like Tarja (from circa 2002 until 2013) or Roy on the last two Kamelot albums overused their vibrato a lot. Tommy doesn't use his vibrato nearly as much as Tarja or Roy did.

subwaytosally18642 Roy was king of vibrato :D

King because he knew when to use it so that it sounded not so forced.

+Jan Edjmeister Tommy Karevik foesn't sound forced. If there is something about singing where Karevik is better than Khan is his naturaly. Tommy's voice sounds naturaly every time, but Khan's voice breaks when he goes to the higher notes. Then it sounds forced, although his falcetto sounds like the product of years of hard working. That is: Kan's voice is a lot of hard working, and Karevik voice is just naturally powerful

I made a mistake at the begining. It doesn't* , not foesn't

Ruben Haugland roy khan was a good melodic singer but tommy is a whole other level.

Philip Malone oh no no

Tommy is a more complete singer.

Carlos Eduardo do Nascimento Gomes Tommy (Seventh Wonder)> Roy (Kamelot)

Cotramjoxxx Roy Khan (Conception) > Tommy Karevik (Seventh Wonder)

***** Training wise, Tommy's technique is very poor, but his sound is great (he's one of those people).

Mike Greenwalt Well, Tommy never had any formal training. So, considering it, I think that he's as perfect as someone can get without formal training. To me at least.

subwaytosally18642 That's my point. I think if Tommy got the training, it'd ruin his style and sound.

Mike Greenwalt That's what I think, too.

Um no ! Im a huge fan of both of them but Roy's voice is too high for my liking

one last goodbye - seventh wonder :)
