Guest Vocals

Guest Vocalist: Anthony Green of Circa Survive & Saosin

This past year Saosin returned with a great new album, and their first since 2003 to feature original singer Anthony Green. You might know Anthony from the band Circa Survive, which he started after leaving Saosin. His voice is very unique and interesting. He’s got a very high pitched singing voice and one of the best higher screams I’ve heard. Since the new Saosin album Along The Shadows came out, I’ve been listening to it a lot and it’s quite good. It also got me wondering what other songs Anthony has guested on over the years. So here you go!

A Life Once Lost- All Teeth:

Envy On The Coast- The Gift of Paralysis:

Fear Before the March of the Flames- My Deer Hunter:

I’ve really been enjoying doing this feature. It makes me go back and listen to bands/albums I haven’t listened to in a long time.

Since I did an album rank of Korn yesterday I thought why not do a guest vocalist feature on Jonathan Davis and share the songs that he guested on.

Great Guest Vocalists on Albums: Scott Kelly of Neurosis

When creating an album, a lot of bands have a thought in their mind while writing that certain songs would sound great if they could get someone from one of their main influences to sing on that song. Mastodon has done that constantly. One of their big influences is Neurosis and they have managed to get Scott Kelly to sing on 5 of their albums and songs (Leviathan, Blood Mountain, Crack The Skye, The Hunter, Once More Round The Sun, and Emperor Of Sand. Scott’s vocals are very prominent in the mix and it fits so well with the music that the guys in Mastodon have created. It seems as though Scott is the unofficial fifth member of the band. Perhaps one day Scott will just do an entire album with Mastodon. Below are the songs in which they have collaborated on. Enjoy!!!

Aqua Dementia from Leviathan:

Crystal Skull from Blood Mountain:

Crack The Skye from Crack The Skye:

Spectrelight from The Hunter:

Diamond In The Witch House from Once More Round The Sun:

Scorpion Breath from Emperor Of Sand:
