I'm pretty sure that I jammed Evolution Purgatory at one point Davey. I think I enjoyed it but can't remember much because it was like 10 years ago or something lol. As long as the vocals have more personality than here I don't think I'll mind it too much.

Definitely give it a go if you're ever up for it, wouldn't hurt! Though I might be biased myself as I love Persuader lmao

Golly man how can you listen to "Cantos" and think the vox are bad



Or the pure emotion of "Reversed"

Because he sounds like a complete copy of the Blind Guardian dude. And a very cheap one too. It's extremely distracting.

Hansi, especially prime Hansi, doesn't sound as theatrical/clean. He was a lot more gritty and harsh. They definitely sound similar, I won't deny it, but they're easy to distinguish and Larsen's midrange has held up much better over the years.



If anything, Persuader sounds muuuuuch more like Hansi. Larsen rarely incorporates a harsh inflection. I'd also argue that a vocalist sounding like another vocalist isn't unheard of, and for that to be dealbreaker when considering how amazing these arrangements are, I'm not sure. Feel like it shouldn't be too big of a hurdle.



Glad to hear he's apparently a swell dude too lol
