Ralf Scheepers

Ralf Scheepers (born 5 February 1965) is the vocalist for German heavy metal band Primal Fear.[1] He has a relatively high-pitched tenor-esque singing voice and sometimes uses a shriek reminiscent of Judas Priest's Rob Halford, although it is his baritone lows which give him a near four-octave range in the modal register. He has also sung in Gamma Ray and Tyran' Pace. Scheepers has also done guest vocals for the bands Scanner, Therion, Ayreon, and Shadow Gallery, and worked with Tom Galley on Phenomena's Blind Faith album. He currently provides instruction for all around singing, music, studio and recording/processing techniques at RS Vocal Works in Baltmannsweiler, Germany.[2]

gollark: GTech™ beam/laser equipment is already built to deal with substantially greater attenuation by atmosphere and such.
gollark: You have, *at best*, some time travel. As I said, your spies were useless and your beam interceptors essentially meaningless against GTech™ systems.
gollark: GTech™ badology has come to a similar conclusion, using advanced bad spectrography techniques.
gollark: If I avoid the piano, I'll feel quite happy about that for a bit and soon probably forget.
