deadman42 Thanks brother! I agree...Androo has totally changed everything for me. I send him a version of the song with me very roughly singing the melody but he has complete freedom to make it his own. He generally records 5-10 tracks per song. A tremendous amount of harmony parts and layering. It's unbelievable to hear just his vocal tracks. And zero autotune!! Check out the album Intelligent Design by his band Shaolin Death Squad. Insane!! Matt from King Diamond is also in that band. They are close friends.
Per Thanks. One thing I've learned from years of songwriting and listening to bands like Opeth (my favorite band) is dynamics. When to floor it and when to let something breathe. That particular bridge section has 3 different guitar parts and bass already and then we needed to bring Androo's throat singing into the mix. Not only that but you always take into account the next section which in this case happens to be a very intense chorus. So, that bridge has to be a notch lower in intensity to create a build up to the chorus, which it does. Thanks for checking it out.
