How Chester Bennington uses that range
Two tones operate here and they work as separate systems. Underneath is a bright, cleanly supported tenor with precise onsets and nearly straight tone up to that E5 belt; over it sits a distorted scream that reaches higher without the clean voice going with it. Manufacturing the rasp in the throat itself muddies both — the clean line has to stay intact underneath the distortion.
