This is an example of the Tibetan Buddhist Tantric (Vajrayana) chanting sometimes referred to as the 'Lion's roar'.
I learnt how to do this type of chanting from the chant master at Sera Je, the Tibetan Buddhist Monastic University in exile, India.
I can't believe this has nearly 50,000 downloads!!!
My favourite use is in the penultimate episode of 'Falling Skies' as the alien overlords sound.

Your voice is truly amazing, to say the least. I've been looking for months for chants like this (I had no idea I was looking for Tibetan vocals, all the while). I am honored to display this in my future music. Thank you!
