Bat Country Vocal Track

M. Shadow

[@MrKellii]

That is actually the sound of the vocals double tracked very tightly.It gives the vocals a slight phasing sound that helps it sit in the mix. Autotuning for pitch correction usually has an odd unnatural shift from one note to another that isn't present in this song.

[@jonathanbishop6205]

A7x hasn't used autotune until the white album when they started incorporating other people's voices in and even then it was uncommon. Almost east for example had a little bit of autotune for Zacky and Syn to correct their pitches since they dont have the most consistent or strongest vocals. It was unneeded for The rev and Matt however. Matt is able to do harmonies without autotune because he made the part so he can do it best. It helps make the sound tighter.

1:33 rare voice, but this is beautiful!!!

[@gsn7625]

Ali Surya M Shadow's Falsetto, actually.

[@gsn7625]

@Shallex Surely, i wrote that because I saw a vocal range video of M Shadows in city of evil, and it said that he was singing in falsetto in that part.

[@KoltiraMemeweaver]

​@Shallex That definitely does *not* sound like full voice dude.

[@KoltiraMemeweaver]

​@Shallex It was pretty late af last night, but head voice instead of full would be correct. It sounds like really slight airy falsettos there. Really love the unique whines and the abrupt switch you don't expect.

[@darthsoadfan19]

For those still debating about it, Matt clearly says that he does ALL of the vocals on City of Evil in the DVD for their self titled album. Other band members didn't start doing vocals until their self titled album.

[@New.Beginnings88]

4:08 until the end is so beautiful

[@manipreferchicken4083]

Arshia Aryan I can't agree more

[@PurpleCowsMakeGJ]

It suprises me that I didn't realize before that they harmonize. xD

[@denniskastner4047]

PurpleCowsMakeGJ it's not harmony, alot of bands do this, and what it is, is that they record multiple vocals and then layer them together. It's very common.

[@lauskopf4481]

Its called chorus effect

[@tricksterapva]

OMG!!!!! amazing vocals!!! amazin band! amazing...foREVer!!!!

[@1201zj]

For those debating about the Rev's vocals, here's my thoughts on it. He did the "yeah's" live. We all saw this. But that's not him in the recording, unless he can do a perfect imitation of Matt, lol. But I can hear his vocal phrasing in the "all alone's". I think that may be him.

[@Spiyder11]

You don't have to sell your soul. Just practice. If you just make it a routine to spend an hour a day singing your fuckin heart out and paying close attention to the sound you're making you'll get there.

not auto tuned at all. People don't really understand effects and stuff do they? Possibly a chorus or phaser.
