      +Josh Schulz Chuck had one thing that I think is missing from most metal bands today and that's soul. His vocals (and guitar solos) on Symbolic were coming from a place in him that no one could duplicate.

      +Josh Schulz I really feel the emotion in his vocals. i really enjoy when someone can push their emotions through the harsh vocals. the new fallujah "The void alone" regardless of your opinion of their music i really can feel his emotion in his vocals. especially in the end of it.

      There's good reason behind this. Find Will To Survive.. It's an old Cowboys era recording of Phil. His voice has finally (amazing it took this long) fallen off.. but his progression and versatility is unbelievable especially counting in as I just said, how long it took for his voice to finally go out considering his range. He took that more death metal turn there for a while in the ending phases of Pantera. But holy shit he could wail back in the day. I'm throwing in Corey Taylor and Matt Barlow ( formerly of Iced Earth) as well
