Voice 99 by Ryan Tobin is a Christian Rock/Christian Metal song with the early 2000s and late ’90s influences that provides something for every rock or metal lover in that era. The song’s subtle lyrics, powerful guitars, and angelic vocals of Ryan all make for an empowering atmosphere. Let’s dissect the song and discover its strongholds together.
First of all, the song begins with muted/chopped chords that instantly remind me of Grunge and Post-Grunge bands with that Alternative Metal edge and heaviness that will remind you of bands like Seether, Red, and Chevelle. As the muted chords alternate with open chords, the sweet and soothing vocals of Ryan enter the chat…in a contradiction from the heavy riffs and the thumping bass and drums. It’s a formula that may seem crazy on paper, but it just works. The sweet clean tone of his voice delivers the melodies and the words with so much clarity that you’ll find yourself humming or even singing along with him.
The song is part of Ryan’s album, Purgatory Road, and it’s one of the album’s shortest tracks. Presenting its verse riff, and the soaring chorus without overstaying its welcome. It’s easy to say that Voice 99 is one of the Christian Rock songs that do the genre with care and attention to detail instead of being gimmicky or predictable, and now I wanna discover more of Ryan Tobin’s work after this fine song I got the chance to listen to and enjoy Be sure to check out Ryan’s music on all streaming platforms.
