Hi Figure, I have to laugh at that since Shades of Doom's voice is David Greenwood's voice altered to sound like a synthesizer. When he was working on SOD back in 1998 and 1999, there were no good quality synthesizers to create wave files from. It is ironic that at the time in the future of SOD, synthesizers will sound just like humans. I told David he should put out a version with his voice un-altered.
