Were talking about singing here...which I don't believe death metal falls into
Nat King Cole believed smoking several packs of kool menthol cigarettes made his voice sound better.....I think the dude ended up dying of lung cancer though....heh..
True. That does help.. plus having that crud in your throat just sucks in general. Mucinex is great.
Is this stuff easy to get hold of? As in buy over the counter?
I doubt Kurt Cobain's voice would have sounded the way it did without cigarettes.
So he had a different voice before smoking? I just fail to recognize that as being true.
It depends on the vocal style... for singing in my death metal project opiates help me sustain it for longer periods of time=) for singing singing i would say sober is the way to go.
