Professional opera singer and vocal coach Elizabeth Zharoff, who also hosts the YouTube channel, The Charismatic Voice, continues to explore the world of rock and metal. Join her as she listens to and gives a vocal analysis of the Opeth classic, "Blackwater Park".

Elizabeth: "It's been far too long since my first listen to Opeth with a cocktail in hand, not really knowing what I was about to get myself in to. It's been years since 'Harlequin Forest' and 'Ghost of Perdition', and I wanted to dive back into Mikael's harsh vocals again on the back of our Distortion study. And by dive back in, I mean another full hour long analysis." 

Elizabeth has previously shared vocal analyses of Metallica, Dream Theater, Rush, Heart, Tenacious D, Sabaton, Motörhead, Ayreon, Faith No More, Black Sabbath, Arch Enemy, Epica, Deep Purple, Myles Kennedy, Scorpions, Heart, Blind Guardian, Devin Townsend, AC/DC, Triumph, Whitesnake, Queen, KISS, Guns N' Roses and The Cult.
