Kardavox Academy I know this song isn't metal but it is rock but it deserves your attention it is Seether: Drift Away but the lyric video by The Writer Wolf. It has had a huge impact on my life because it reminds me of my very mentally and physically abusive ex I would love if you did a reaction to it because I would love to see your reaction to it please.
Miss your Reactions, thanks!
🖤💜
Yo Alex, thanks for continuing to be a beast and watching the channel! Co-reaction when? :P

@@bagofsunshine3916 suits him perfectly, thanks! :D
I absolutely loved this cover, I've wanted someone to add vocals to BFG Division ever since it came out and never thought Alex would be the one to do it! He totally nailed it.
Maybe somewhere Alex's vocals are good, but this track is ruined, it doesn't need any vocals at all:/
@@alpengrob829 ua-cam.com/video/iXvec8SBPdY/v-deo.html this cover is the best I feel like it fits better.
@@alpengrob829 It's not ruined at all. Feel free to listen to the original anytime you like. Stop being weird.
@@alpengrob829 maybe for you. And if that's the case then just listen to the original. For ALOT of people Alex completely nailed it.
@@alpengrob829 don't be rude 😦
You're playin' with our emotions Mark! I thought this was a co-reaction for a hot second 😅
DUDE SAME
Haha, maybe one day!
Haha, for future reference: co-reactions have a blue border on the thumbnail!
@@KardavoxAcademy i heard Alex moved to the USA? He didn't use to give interviews because he thought his English wasn't good enough, but this means he improved, so hopefully he's more open to it.
The thumbnail got me too.
One of the best covers by Alex Terrible.
It's pretty fun!
its the best cover
@@aldusbrutus1401 nah bruh for me it's either his cover of unholy gravebirth by ia or his cover of unanswered by ss
This is in my top 5 alex terrible songs. That list includes slaughter to prevail songs.
My favourite Alex Terrible cover is the old Alex, not the new one. Recent Alex is weaker compared to the Alex 5-9 years ago, just check the Wait and Bleed cover he did, People=Shit, Numb, those lows were insane and iconic
Love the way you break down this stuff!
Yo Sahil - thanks for watching!
This is the reaction I was waiting for!
That was cool to mention Austin Dickey. He's some awesome sounds. I love him and Jared Dines
Dickey Dines🤘
cant forget, alex has a voice that can outshine the drummer in a tiny room. mans a monster with his projection.
Greetings, my friend! I'm from Russia and I managed to work out with Alex vocals at the time. there is one feature in the use of arytenoid cartilage. He lowers his larynx, lifts his tongue and to a greater extent blows his sound through tightly closed arytenoid cartilages, preventing false ligaments from vibrating as we are used to with a normal folcord. On my little video where I sing, you can see it! ua-cam.com/video/t3xlqVfYP3g/v-deo.html
He's just unbelievable. Like I'm speechless. Deeper than deep. Not from the world. 🔥
I think demilich has a lower voice. i'm not shure if it really is or does it just seem lower than it is. (Here is a link for one of demilich'es songs on UA-cam if your interested ua-cam.com/video/XxizB02d0gE/v-deo.html)
@@jannehansen-haug3375 thank you for the link! That sounds like it came from the depths of hell. So wild!
@@Ohthehorror87 Yea would be amazing to get kardavox to react to it.
Ive been following him for over a decade now. The guy has always had mad impressive lows but what hes capable of now is almost inhuman. Especially when you remember what his human form sounded like before he ascended
I loved hearing the small shout to Austin dickey! He's amazing and you should do a reaction to one of his bands songs some day!
i completely agree with you on the subject of Alex's highs. Dude can sound like Mitch Luker if he wanted to with those highs. Shocked me for days after hearing Alex being able to hit those high screams. For sure he focuses more on those beefy deep screams as that's his specialty but like damn...i'd love to hear a track with more use of those highs he has stored away.
If you really want to hear his range, do his new cover of infant annihilator. It's incredible
I'll check it out!
BFG DIVISION with Alex terrible's vocals is the best birthday present ever thank you Alex terrible
Dude your vocals are amazing. Alex Terrible is insane. I have tickets to see Slaughter to Prevail live next month in April. I'm so stoked I can't even believe it....!
i was first introduced to Slaughter to Prevail and Alex with Kostolom, and so when i went back to listen to their older material, hearing Alex's highs REALLY caught me off guard because, as you mentioned, they're INSANELY high and crispy and i didn't expect it at all LMAO
Alex is a great vocalist!
I was introduced to them and deathcore in general by their song called "Chronic Slaughter" i remember being shocked to see someone doing a vocal like that while i was into Godsmack and 5FDP lol
Been looking forward to this, this vocal cover is so sick, great to see your take (I'm not a vocalist but so interesting regardless).
I'm glad you noticed that gutteral on the trail end of that second "No" segment of the.. chorus I guess? Another moment I was happy you picked up on were the layered highs. I've been watching Alex since those vocal covers of Suicide Silence way back when and those highs have been long since neglected, glad they showed *some* light in this one. Cheers!
This has always been such a great song and I’ve always wanted heavy vocals on it. I love that he did this.
This is so amazing, I can't get enough of the song...Alex is the man. I really enjoy the breakdown, and analysis that you bring to the table. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
@@KardavoxAcademy if you want to see Alex put on a vocal clinic, check out his cover of Decapitation Fornication.....absolutely mind numbing...
Missed an opportunity “I’m not in his body, although I’d like to be”
12:21 Best description of Alex's voice I've ever heard
Did i just hear you've got amon amarth in the works? Im so excited I've been waiting for this moment

That’s what she said
SOOO MUCH YES!!! 🔥🤘😈🤘🔥
Red beard daddy approval is all we really need.
aaaye glad you dig the video man!
The part about showmanship reminded me of those vines of girls laughing while expressionless. 🤣🤣🤣
Alex Terrible is the coolest looking person I’ve ever seen.
Nathan Explosion XD
Great and fitting reference.
I’m excited for this one!
This is my favorite cover he's ever done, I can't stop listening to it! Your analysis, as always, was awesome and informative😊
Awesome, glad it was helpful!
Compost-Grave Song is suuuuuch a jam. I always get chills at that section with the blastbeats and the layered "musical"-esque/screaming vocals.
Yo, that''s dope. Thanks for the kind words!
I love how do you explain all that's little tricks
I'm glad it's helpful!
he has the thickest screams i've ever heard if it make sense
In slaughters first 2 albums they do Lots of highs.
No Doubt Alex's lows are what brought me in.
But if you are missing out on his highs look back to misery sermon and such
This song is on repeat when I'm working out...and....other stuff too
I think his over of Smoke by Suicide Silence really showcases his range with prominent highs. Older STP had way more highs than we hear now.
This cover is incredible and I love your breakdowns, BUT HOW do you stay focused to pick up on the details, I get caught up and vibe out until you pause to breakdown and it’s like a whole new world😂
Haha, it can be very hard sometimes, but I guess it helps that it's my job!
Great video, very interesting,thx. By the way ,I liked very much your Liminal Rite, but it is getting better with every listening.
That's so awesome to hear, thanks so much for the kind words dude!
I was waiting for this. I'm surprised it took a patreon suggestion to check it out though. I would have expected you to see that Mr Terrible did a vocal cover and jump on to see what kind of maddness he got up to. You might have been late to the party but at least you showed up. Still probably the best breakdown on how he make the demon noises though so I guess it's like saving the best for last.
Thanks for watching!
Nice vocals bro
This will be fun!
I hope so!
Loved the video dude. This game however just looks like a revamped Quake game
Just say . Alex is Legend & everything he does is GOLD.
I am endlessly fascinated by how all the different vocal dynamics achieve what they do but have so much overlap. When performing sygyt very slight movements of the tongue change the tone and pitch and when I say slight I mean barely any movement. To get a deeper tone you slide the tongue towards the back of the mouth so it was really interesting to see you demonstrate that.
I am curious what you think about or if you have any familiarity with metal vocal techniques where you draw air in, rather than breathing air out?
I'm pretty certain he gives his breakdown of his thoughts on it in an Archspire video he did, cause I remember him discussing Oli's use of them and how he's impressed but doesn't do them himself. Great band too.
I am sure it's all performance, the whole demon cover and making it over dramatic when he does vocals, it looks badass.
Ive been following him for over a decade. Hes always had these mannerisms when he does vocals even when he was sitting in his bedroom using google translate to talk to us english speaking fans and i was in junior high 🤣 i dont even think its performance, im sure part of it is but hes always been very pronounced, its like he uses his entire upper half to belt out these insane lows because its Especially noticeable with the lows (: but hey, maybe hes just a natural showman 🤷♂️
Love his vocal style. Any idea when that vocal false course course is coming out yet?
If you want to hear more of his highs he did an amazing Infant Annihilator cover of Decapitation Fornication right before he did this one. I would love to hear your take on that one.
I'll check it out!
@@KardavoxAcademy I NEED THIS. I hit the notification bell just so i know when that drops!
06:20 I think he is basically using Som Pluijmers technique. She explained a few years back her super lows to touch your upper teeth from the inside with the tip of your tongue. That's what u explain as "roll his tongue back".
Fuck that came in heavy. Awesome job on Alex’s part.
Shout out to Austin Dickey
You should do a video for each of these bands.
Between the buried and me, the dear hunter, khemmis, DVNE, leprous
I told alex that you needed to get out to Arizona. Love your voice too
Hell yeah!
11 years ago I performed my last show after have spent 7-8 years as a black and death metal vocalist and miss it alot. I can't even understand how I managed to make the sounds that I did. got like a "music video" from the show at WORDLBATTERINGB channel. its in b/w and simple labeled "World Battering Live" if youd wanna have a listen and/or go through it in a vid even xD i sounded kind a old school Cannibal Corpse or Morbid Angel like in my own opinion.
with this said I'm extremely amazed by Alex skills ever since you introduced his band to me with Baba Yaga or Demolisher
That Austin Dickey shout out was dope.
@Kardavox Academy is there a way I can send vocals to you? I haven't worked om it for very long, but I want to try it out a little better
You rock, bro!🫀
Thanks!
Doom to prevail 🔥🔥🔥
So my new 2 song playlist that I have playing on my way to tms is rotoscope and this. This... cover... original... coriginover? When he does the "softer" (lol) "do you really think I'm afraid of you" actually sort of helped made lows make sense to me. Because I feel (not that anyone but me will ever hear it) like I can actually (without discomfort) replicate that, which then makes going into it a bit harder, easier. Fortunately for me, no one I know personally, likes the music I like, so no one ever drives with me. Win/win
That's a banging playlist!
I think you’ll like the vocals on True.Crisis by Guardians of the Secret, he’s a 1 man band. It has vocals I have never seen you cover or react to.
Great analysis. The thing that stood out to me was the sweat towel. I'm there. I'm 6'4 with a good bit of muscle mass and living in Texas. Sweat towel is necessary. Sweat towel is life.
All praise the sweat towel.
We absolutely need a co-reaction of 1984 when STP bring it out!
I heard it a bunch of times and now that I hear it again after a break I get duck skin again it's an unbelievable song
proud ne sub here!!!
A very low tone at the end is when you run out of air. I don't know how it happens inside, but when you give a lot of air and don't have enough air until the end, it's like the cords (or something) relax from the tension and... It feels like some other version of sound extraction is enabled. But this is only my opinion, i'm not professional)
The only man capable of doing an awesome Mick Gordon cover!
Beast
Alex is on another level!! Like possessed by a demon.
A year ago everybody said Alex should be doing doom... I stumbled across this piece about a week ago.. I was wondering if somebody was going to do a reaction to it
Bro you're 1 of the best in the industry. Don't you dare cut yourself short.
Thanks so much for the kind words!
🔥🔥🔥
I want to know how Alex does that squeezing vocal break sound. He does that in his songs too.

Just gotta throw this out there Mark, i got that same shirt. Lookin good ma man 😂
Thanks dude!
a co-reaction with Austin Dickey to that Darkwatch vocal playthrough he uploaded would be cool
I'll check it out!
You gotta do this with Alex's newest DOOM cover he released today!!
My vocal workout ua-cam.com/video/t3xlqVfYP3g/v-deo.html
DUDE!!!! thank u! thank u thank u. ive been pulling back the wrong end of my tongue like a fuckin moron! i kept hearing,,, pull ur tongue back and get lower. my lows fuckin suck. but after seeing this video and watching u and alex and really getting to see wat the tongue is doing,,, and after a lil quit and soft playing around i can already hear and feel a huge difference. and i think pulling the wrong end of my tongue helped me learn to slightly squeeze down my arial pterodactyls or wat ever their called. bro! im fuckin stoked! i was beating my big dumb head against the wall goin nuts. my voice is a lil itchy from the weekend but soon as im feelin right im right back at it bro. its gonna be hard not to go around doing this all the time. i spent all weekend at work just growlin at ppl lol. im paying for it now tho. also, amateur tip... liquor and vocal practice dont mix... 1 at a time peeps. im fuckin stooooked!
Proper question.
What was his vocal take, and what was his video take?
Hey there, thanks you for Those breakdown, dis you try out some Septicflesh's songs??
I'll check them out!
6:20 - you sound like Tom Barber!! I like this type of scream very much
Thanks!
16:42 Damn Mark, your ear was counting that! (That'd be good short content..)
Haha, that's not a bad idea!
i also wish he would do more highs cuz im not a big fan of only lows so cant really get into it
One way I found to achieve a very similar low tone is to actually tense the muscles right beneath the chin. That causes the soft tissues under the tongue to go down almost an inch of their normal position. By covering that space with the tongue (tongue is not moving) it seems to create a '' second '' resonance chamber where the first sound is filtered through it which seems to add a lower tone to the overall sound.
Does a person's tongue size make any difference? Also how many can make the predator gurgle?
Im still waiting for reaction on Dragged Through the Inferno
Worm Shepard, Blood Kingdom
at 17.00 that part reminds me a lot of a part of the song: chemiera - worthless
Interesting!
Guys, this dude's neighbours 😂 poor souls, I wonder what they think in this situations
I don't know if you look at these kinds of comments but it would be cool if you could take a look at Sacramentum ov Filicide by Nitheful. There also a official vocal playthrough for it.
I want them to make a new DOOM now just to see if they put him on the soundtrack. Love it!
That'd be dope!
What are those pupleish covers on the headphones? Your band is pretty sick too.
Yo, thanks for the kind words about Kardashev! They are removable covers that are machine washable since I'm a sweaty cave troll of a human XD
@@KardavoxAcademy I am a sweat king!
Not for nothing and a bit off topic, but it was crazy how the moment I seen Alex did scarification, I dismissed it just as fast because of who he is. Just felt like, "yeah, no... that's totally something he would do. Yeah... .... ouch"
Ramble point, I being 35 have seen the pain Olympics and done suspension but it was funny how if it would had been anyone else I might have worried a bit but because Alex it was just as natural as "what I want for Christmas vocal cover"
Any chance you'd react to "Translucent" by Termina? It was a dope song, not sure if it is metalcore or deathcore but damn, the cleans were dope.
Alex out here lookin like a demonic youth pastor. I love it lmao
Man I'm so annoyed that acid reflux decease has absolutely ruined my growling "career" would love to do that shite but every time I do those sounds I know I can make today, it makes me cough because my throat is always screwed.... Oh and I know the throat isn't the place to manufacture all the sounds and I certainly didn't, but I swear it plays a part when your reflux acids f your throat up
Yknow even if the rage on Alex’s face in this is all for the performance it does honestly look like at some points he will just pop from the rage lol
Mark, what class do you play? Alliance or horde?
That Amen timing was impeccable 😂
Haha, thanks!
