*Anyone interested in recording a vocal track for a progressive metal tune?

Hiya, I have just recently finished this track and I have an idea of where I want to take it vocally but I lack the power and emphasis in my voice to make it stand out. Ideally i would like screaming in some parts (due to the aggressive nature) but with singing aswell as that really helps to make it not too dark.
I would love to see what you guys and gals can do.

The backing track is here- (click the download arrow on the actual page to download)

and here is what I have for some rough vocals which you can either follow or make your own, one part i would like to remain is the chorus though. As I am sure you can hear it needs more flair and a bit of work with melodies so experiment with it :)


Terminus Lyrics
I dreampt the world would die,
Greed attracting men like flies,
Beseiged by this revolution,
Take it all- enjoy the purge

Surgeing waters, grounds tremble
Wipe it clean then reassemble
your days are up, long overdue
The son of sons won't mourn for you

Maybe you're missunderstood?
Did you do the best you could?
Did you do less than you should?

Maybe you'll live to old age?
eyes fixed at you beneath the waves
your soul is lost, you can't be saved

I drempt the world would end,
The land which we harvest, rape and rend-
Had had enough then drew the sword,
The distraught got what they had wrought

polarized- the poles realign,
a single star bloting out a darkened sky,
celestially this is destiny
to rain down flaming debris
hail armageddon- say your goodbye's

Chorus
Before the walls crumble
...
Before you're torn asunder
...
Make your life less meaningless
...
Before we reach the terminus

I drempt the world would cease
devoured in the belly of the beast
You try to run, you try to hide
no rock will sheild, nor mountain side

power corrupts the hearts of men,
what little heart was left in them
is now a void where the soul should sleep.
enjoy your reign while it lasts,
you'll soon be feeding off the grass,
along with your flock of sheep

Chorus
Before the walls crumble
...
Before you're torn asunder
...
Make your life less meaningless
...
Before we reach the terminus

I drempt the world would stop
chaos reigned- the bombs would drop
we could not just coexist
look what you've done- the art of war

-This part is entirely optional as I may add a guitar solo here-
Surgeing waters, grounds tremble
Wipe it clean then reassemble
your days are up, long overdue
The son of sons won't mourn for you

Maybe you've been missunderstood?
Did you do the best you could?
Did you do less than you should?

Maybe you'll dig your own grave?
eyes fixed at you beneath the waves
your soul is lost, you can't be saved

-the next part you can either improvise lyrics until the next set of lyrics or you can just leave it blank if you are more comfortable with that. Would love to have some lush vocals for the piano part though-

I drempt the world disintegrate
embraced by our grey twin in space
caressed by its lunar form
the earth did split the sky was torn​


Really looking forward to hearing how this sounds finished guys and gals!

Sorry I can't sing (I'm on the forums to look for singing lessons) but man keep up the music! This is great and progressive metal always needs more people in it.

PLAY ON!!!
 
thanks dude. Got plenty more in the works, I just need to find a vocalist really to help bring out the next set of tracks I'm writing.
Good luck in your search for lessons
 
Loving the music. The death growls aren't completely awful in the vocal demo either. If I had my interface working, I'd have given it a try.
 
If I have some time tomorrow I'll give this a go. Just the clean parts though, I can't scream for shit. Could I have the BPM though?
 
Actually, any way you could upload it as stems? Would just need a stereo file of the bass and guitars and the midi for the drums would be fine.

If not I'll go ahead and give it a go the way it is, it would just help to be able to control the volume of things better.
