Vocalist Needed

So I’m working on a cover of Bathory’s “Wheel of Sun” song, and i find myself in need of a vocalist. You see, the song is heavily layered and has lots of choral parts. I can, of course, do the bass line, but the choral parts require an “upper” voice, either a tenor or soprano. I’ve tried to sing the upper voice myself, but my voice breaks around the highest note: and, as par with the musicianship aspects of choral music, the upper voice is NEEDED.

So i’m looking for a guest vocalist for the upper choral part in “Wheel of Sun”. Could be either soprano or tenor. I can send the melody, which i will then incorporate into the song.

wickedmetalviking:

several changes were made to this song: 1) i had to reduce the quality so that it could fit within the 10MB or less limit, 2) the tuning has been changed from C# (aka. Sabbath tuning) to C to match Nordland I, and lastly 3) it has been divided in two in order to be uploaded here-at.

Deep in the dead of winter
Ice chokes the water in the bay
Out from the warmth I have come
Bring those from village gone astray

Walked out on a Frozen Lake
Deceived by the one-eyed god
To fulfill my duty to my king
To protect his children from all harm

Slowly I take my final steps
My lord’s sons a few paces yon
I hear a sound, I go slowly
One misstep on icy crust I’m gone

The ice begins to break
I feel the fractures under my feet
Now breaks the rime and frost
I cry in fright as I meet the deep
