Todd Michael Hall - 'Godz Of Thunder' (Malice live vocal cover)

Blue mist - rising all about me
One kiss - from the lips of her majesty
My God - is there no beginning
Oh no - I can hear the bells of doom ringing

CHORUS:
Godz of thunder
Coming back to rule the world
Godz of fire
Godz of thunder

Pentagram - drawn out in blood
I am damned - by the greed of a thirsty God
Help me - is there no end to eternity
Set me free - from the chains of Hell’s infernity

CHORUS

Too late - to turn back the clock
My fate - awaiting that final knock
It’s done - they’re dragging me to their hellish lair
I can’t run - they have their watchers everywhere

CHORUS

Ο Todd Michael Hall έγινε γνωστός στο "μεταλλικό" κοινό λόγω της παρουσίας του στους Riot V (τα τελευταία δώδεκα έτη). Παράλληλα έχουμε ακούσει την φωνή του σε δίσκους των Jack Starr's Burning Starr, Timo Tolkki's Avalon, Reverence κλπ.

Επίσης "τρέχει" και την προσωπική του καριέρα, στην οποία προστέθηκε ένας ακόμη δίσκος. "Off the Rails" ο τίτλος και "βγήκε" στην "καρδιά" του περασμένου φθινοπώρου. Στο πλευρό του Todd ο κιθαρίστας (των Metal Church, Presto Ballet κλπ) Kurdt Vanderhoof.

Σήμερα θα τον παρακολουθήσουμε, σε βίντεο, να αποδίδει (φωνητικά) το τραγούδι των Malice "Godz Of Thunder" (από τον δίσκο των Αμερικανών metallers "In the Beginning..." που κυκλοφόρησε τον Αύγουστο του 1985 - "ψαγμένη" διασκευή) και να μας λέει σχετικά:

«I'm not sure how many people are familiar with Malice. Their "In The Beginning..." album came out in August of 1985, a month before my 16th birthday, when I was in the thick of learning how to use my head voice. I fell in love with the album and thought James Neal did some outrageous singing on it and their follow-up album, "License To Kill". Special thanks to James and the guys from Malice for the incredible music that inspires us to this day.

On the technical side:

I am calling this a live vocal cover, because I sang the song from beginning to end in one take without any vocal dubs or edits. James Neal's range matches well with mine. I have listened to this album and sang along with it so many times that I was able to get a good take on my first try.

The music came from Moises (with just the lead vocal deleted). I sent my vocal track and the music track to my friend Kurdt Vanderhoof who added some effects to the vocals and blended them in with the music. Special thanks to Kurdt for his assistance.»
