Thanks. Yes I can actually sing. When I was a teenager I lived in a Hare Krsna temple and a huge thing was singing Vedic prayers, etc. That's were I started playing music. I always loved music but never played until I lived in the temple.
We actually have written some new reggae stuff, we did a lot of reggae with our old band. So I do some singing on that but I still keep it a bit dirty.
I guess I'm not ready to fully sing yet. I feel it's a harsh time and I feel I want to keep the vibe of the music somewhat aggressive.
A lot of people think screaming is just lazy or bullshit but I tell you it takes much more to do that for me. But I know to come from the center, I took lessons years back as well. So I'm not really shredding my chords to sh*t.
I think in time I will refine what I'm doing and more "melody" will come into play.
Check THE ZEN OF SCREAMING. It's an instructional/Documentary dvd on the art of screaming.
