Origin - Staring from the Abyss | Vocal Cover | Lyrics Included

Vocal cover of "Staring from the Abyss" by Origin from their album Echoes of Decimation (2005). Performed on top of the original vocals. Single take, no lip syncing, no effects (no reverb, layering, etc.) outside of just basic compression. I've been doing this for just ~1¾ year, still a lot to learn before I'm somewhat good. Posting this so I can track my progress through time. My timing is often way off and there's probably a lot of mistakes, but I want to be honest and show my current state not have an overly edited performance. I am using a SM7b microphone going straight to a Scarlett Solo (Gain at ~2 o'clock), recorded through Reaper.
