Death Metal Singers as Movie Announcers?

Now that we’ve lost the giants of the gravely-voiced baritone “Voice of God” movie announcers (Don LaFontaine, Hal Douglas), where will Hollywood go for their deep, Earth-shaking voiceovers? Well, if they’re smart, they might call up some 1990s death metal singers. You might remember what they sound like, and I think it could translate into more deep, Earth-shaking vocal tones. And now that not so many people favor death metal anymore, maybe it could be a new career for them, just in time so they can sing for the glut of death metal cover bands that we’re (surely) about to have here in the LA club scene!

(Doing it over the internet from home is totally cheating! You have to move to Los Angeles.)
