The emotion in Tom's voice...

ProgMetalFan · July 24th, 2002, 12:27 AM

Tom is definately one of my favorite vocalists... I love the sound of his voice... and the versatility he has... but most of all... the raw emotion that comes through in everything he sings... the darkness, the despair, the fear, the anger... he really brings the vocal side of Evergrey to a new level...

Actually, that is exactly why he is my very favorite singer, his voice moves me like no other can. Some songs really bring tears to my eyes...

I agree.. Tom has a very unique and wonderful voice. Who knew a metal singer could sound so soulful...

"soulful"

That is the perfect adjective!

Tom Englund is the fundamental and core part of Evergrey's sound. It's like Dio singing Dio songs. You take him out of the band the band would be no more.

i realized this while listening to "words mean nothing" awhile back. he is such a great vocalist.

Well, hello everyone.

I'm relatively new to Evergrey, although I've known them since "Solitude", and finally it hit me. They are in my personal hall of fame now.

Anyway, I think there's nothing to add about Tom's voice. I can only quote all of you. Same goes for me.

3 words, then: emotion, feeling, talent

The song that proved it: "Words Mean Nothing"

Have a nICE day.

yeah he sounds quite "persecuted"

i think that its great for a lot of songs...really forlorn
but not versatile at all! it seems like that will really limit what kind of songs evergrey are good at...and their sound
but its in a pretty good groove already..no big deal

anyway that's why i can't listen to evergrey on just any day...

he is like the other side of warrell dane....once my dad heard my nevermore cd and he was like "Who killed his kids?"
the difference is warrel got really

mad about it...tom is just emotionally scarred

Hm, well I think his voice fits all Evergrey songs pretty fine and I don't believe they would want to do some other style of songs anyway.
Don't know what you had in mind there.......some more "happy" stuff??

I THINK he's trying to say that they both sound like they've been done wrong (as the example 'who killed his kids') and Warrel sounds mad as a result, and Tom 'just' emotionally scarred. Hmmmm....
My two favorite singers, but I prefer the emotionally scarred sound
