DC Cooper is a prominent melodic metal singer best known for his work with Royal Hunt in the 1990s. A high baritone with expansive range on both ends, he has also sung for Silent Force, Amaran's Plight, The Tung Bandits, and a host of other artists in a long career. Beyond his pseudo-operatic, resonant voice, Cooper is notable for his extensive use of head voice in the upper fourth and lower fifth octave, and he generally has a smoother tone in that register than most other singers (compare his highest full-voice notes to those in my Stephen Fredrick and Jonny Lindkvist videos and you'll see what I mean).
