- One of my absolute favorite tracks from Epica's album The Quantum Engima! (instrumental from deluxe edition)
I had an awesome time doing this cover collab with my great friend Achraf from the amazingly talented Canadian symphonic metal band Aeternam! In this cover, I'm using what I can only describe as MEGA CROSSOVER operatic + belt techniques which include switching between them in the same breath. The basis of doing something like this is directing the air stream and vowel placements towards the "back" and "front" of my head at the right moments. Certainly not easy to master, but I had a ton of fun covering this song!
I got a ton of requests about lessons from my last video, and I do offer them! Please feel free to message me here or through my website www.kristinstarkey.com if interested.
Check out Achraf's channel + band!!

Your cover is worth millions watch!
There are few people i would make that statement about, but just like Tommy Johansson, both Kristin and him could sing a phone book (or rather anything), and it would still be incredible !!! Thats a rare gift !
This is god tier vocals
That seamless transition between classical and contemporary style in the same phrase is impressive 👍
INCREDIBLE!! What a voice, please keep posting covers! Cheers from France!
Babe!!! You sound amazing. Perfect cover.
I found Kristin thanks to Skar's "We don't talk about Bruno" cover. OMG this song!!! Achraf and the instrumentals are great but Kristin totally blows my mind! I can hardly process how awesome you sing, my goose bumps have their own goose bumps. *Blown away*
Kristin, Any way you could please consider adding this to your Spotify so we can download and listen any time?! 😁
The transition from chest to head voice is perfectly smooth 👌🏻💪🏻 and you rockkkk
TRULY IMPRESSIVE... JUST... WOW!...
OMG FINALLY A KRISTIN UPLOAD!!! So damn goood, you and Achraf killed it!!
How the hell do you blend vocal techniques like SO EFFORTLESSLY, I CAN'T EVEN TALK PROPERLY AND YOU'RE DOING CRAZY STUFF LIKE THAT 😂
Impressive!!! I can easily imagine Kristin singing Jinjer - Pisces or Teacher Teacher with ease!
agree, probably Kristin could manage to sing "Pisces" live and in one take. Just now it would also be a good statement to cover a ukrainian band.
@@karlranseier6557 Let me see if I could find an instrumental :)
@@KristinStarkey 😍😍😍😍😍
Like most, I'm here from the Bradley Hall collab. There's only three videos, but omg are they great! I don't usually listen to opera, but I needed more!
Yes!!! A new video from Kristin!
Amazing singing as usual you killed it 🤘

Thank you!! Going to try to pump out more content this coming year 😊
epica one of the bands I listen to the most, when I saw you singing epica... WOW... you are simply awesome!!! Your voice and talent in this song were simply incredible!! gained a fan of this natural talent! hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷
I was hoping to hear your voice again, magnificent
50 yrs brought me! Amazing!!
DAMN! This song is so heavy that gravity felt jealous.
First heard your voice on the Avenged Sevenfold collab, and this is absolutely amazing. I haven't heard the original of this song, but I don't think I want to! Keep up the astounding work!
I think I fell in love.....Your range is enormous. Genuinely impressed!
Even when belting in the fifth octave your tone is still smooth like honey. Absolutely amazing! I don't think I could ever get tired of listening to your incredible voice. 😍
Bradley Hall led me here too, your an awesome singer Kristen 😀👍
I already had an idea of what I was getting into after your collab with Bradley Hall, but that part at 4:19 I had to watch a dozen times. While the whole thing is excellent, but when you belt out your upper range I'm blown away. That's some real power.
I still can't comprehend it. It's just too much
That bit is GLORIOUS. Glad someone linked the timestamp cuz wow
This almost made me cry🥺,it was so good😱😵💫😁
Such a powerful voice! We need more covers!
The growling's even better than in the original too :)
