if you go onto their page there is a short of this and he is singing it really clear and to perfection, no music, just his voice, no wobbles in his voice at all., so they've added the distortion deliberate. that's the sound they were after. his voice is fully healed and working fine 😁
The best way I can describe getting the scream sound oli has is just adjusting where your voice break is, if you rest the note directly on the voice break it just goes back and forth and sounds gnarly while you don't really feel anything physically
Yeah, that’s the best way i’ve found as well. It’s a bit challenging for me to control my vocal break like that. Oli is so good at using that vocal break sound to add grit to his singing, such a cool sound.
I’d love to see you react to some songs or live performances where Oli uses his false chord screams. I don’t know what it is about them, but his false chords have always sounded raspier/more “brutal” than other vocalists who use that style, and I’d be interested if you’d have some insight on why that is or if it’s just standard stuff.
exactly, I’m a huge bmth fan and sure there’s plenty of other vocalists that can objectively scream better than Oli and are more consistent with it but the way he sounds is always the best. It’s always so brutal. His live screams can be fuckin killer
Hey Mark, just wanted to put this here in the hopes that you see it. Just finished Liminal Rite this morning, and it is something that everyone involved should be so very proud of. I've never heard anything so moving and ambitious from you guys before. Every aspect from the composition to the instrumentals works so well; I'd like to especially thank you yourself for going full psycho on the vocals, both sung and screamed. I can't think of a single vocalist in this wonderful genre who showcases their talent to more stunning and powerful effect. Vagabond's Lament is my favorite track, but everything else is just delightful. Kardashev is in my top 3 bands right now, and I just wanted to say thanks - to you and Nico and everyone else in the group - for approaching your music with a genuine, unique, and vulnerable care. Y'all are true artists, pure and simple. I can't wait to see what else you guys do. ❤️
Wow, thank you so much! I'm really glad that our music resonates with you and that you enjoy it so much! I'm really lucky to have such great musicians to work with. They make my part so easy because what they write is so evoking for me. I really appreciate you giving out album some time, it means a lot. Much love!
This song and BMTH's Drown are perfect for me to train and learn my voice. It's right on the edge of what I can comfortably reach pitch wise and for whatever reason I find his type of distortion pretty easy and comfortable to do as long as I don't go for a very high volume. I tend to have to sing this style at quite a low volume because I still have a lot of tongue placement / throat tension issues when pushing higher volumes. Something I gotta work on a lot.
fun fact, they even tried a bit a yodel sound for the Sigrid song they wrote, they tried many different sounds, didn't like any of them, so they have the sing to Sigrid, and she only agreed to take it if they performed it together. And it was a sweet song. ❤️
Love Hot Mulligan 🖤 saw them in concert with Knuckle Puck for my birthday- BCKYRD and How Do You Know It’s Not Armadillo Shells? are both in regular rotation on my playlists
This song is just a masterpiece. I was one of the few hundreds hearing it the first time in a festival in Malta. We learned the chorus in about 3mins. Oli played this song on a turntable and was also singing with us. I'm so blessed I got to hear it on the 28th of May 2022. Also, Oli in a live setting is amazing. It was the best time of my life and I'm very glad that he found a healthy way to sing now, he's really good imo ^^
Felt the same… I have seen people say the opening soft part reminded them of Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls but it reminded me more of Swing Life Away by Rise Against, and the rest of the song has a similar feel as The Used self titled album with Box of Sharp Objects and Bulimic
@@pillager278 dunno how I feel about all the controversy tbh (neither guilty nor innocent atm) but he's definitely an interesting vocalist. However I feel like his band are too similar to lorna shore, and same with a lot of death core at the moment. I kinda wanna hear something more original but hey that's just my opinion
@@oceangilboa-way4163 I definitely agree, I heard the Intro to Dragged through the inferno and thought it was a LS song 😂 he may not be a good person but im starting to appreciate his vocals
Yo. Appreciate you bro. Wanted to say you should check out Virgin Black sometime. I just think you might find the whole structure of the songs interesting.
Can you pls give Aaj or Dana Dan(pls turn on the caps just for this song as the subs are not inbuilt unlike the other MVs) by Bloodywood a try? They are basically Linkin Park + Limp Bizkit + SOAD + Slipknot + RATM with the Indian vibe on top.
I agree- the screaming he did when the band first started was with zero technical training or support, and while people now love to shit on him for not being death/metalcore heavy, back then he was inconsistent & lead to his vocal cord rupture. His current style is from actual training & support, he is consistent & able to maintain his sound quality through all the performances of tours, and because he now has a healthier technique, when he does perform the older songs (like when he did the deathcore melody and recently when they did a full throwback set in Malta) it sounds a bit different, but much healthier.
Put any death metal song over the music video and would fit 100x better than their pop-punk music :D why did they make it so gross when it's just a sadboy/girl song?
The song is about the experience of sitting in group therapy and the video is meant to be a visual representation of the anguish and distortion of self that happens with mental disorders, and the ugly parts of self that people hide. The band released short videos before they dropped the full video of people expressing what living with a mental health disorder (specifically addiction, trauma, depression and anxiety) is like.
@@k1ngm0 naw- without the context from the videos of Oli telling the crowd in Malta about the song being about him starting individual and group therapy after a relapse during the pandemic, and then the “teasers” of the different stories, the video is really confusing as a backdrop to the song. Oli has been known to direct some really *interesting* videos- case in point- the video for Die4U- so your response wasn’t completely off 🤣

You should react to Bad Omens. Their singer Noah has excellent voice.

Exactly. You have to play around with it and stop if shit feels bad. Don't overdo it try again later. The breaking point is what changes it for sure
I think this song will be really cool live, it's got a wholesome crowd vibe to it
I agree- I feel like it has a similar vibe as Drown and will be gutted if they pull out Drown to perform Strangers but will understand if they do.
Just seen them at good things and can confirm, fucking crowd anthem 100%

i recommend you check out their live performance at Hellfest. I recommend dear diary, kingslayer or shadow moses from that performance.
Just checked it out myself bro! Never again! :)
Oli’s false chord screams at Hellfest 💪

same here!! you’ve got this! 🖤
I use them to practice alot as well.
FALLING IN REWERSE VOICES IN MY HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE
This is my soulsong ❤ very enjoyable reaction!
This is what I need. someone who can give an advice on how to find your own sound.
"Heavy as farts" killed me! I think you'd like reaper by fit for a king

I would love to see you analyze Hot Mulligan. Not metal but some very interesting vocals I’d really like to hear your thoughts on

It will be great if you react to shadow moses live at hellfest 2022
Recommendation : bound in fear - beyond the mire
check out 'Asylum' by Vended. The band is comprised of Griffin Taylor (Corey Taylor's son) and Simon Crahan (Clown's son)
Immortal disfigurement- Dragged through the inferno has some interesting vocals in it
Lmao that video would cause many arguments in the comments section
@@oceangilboa-way4163 yes it would lol

@@pillager278 I agree, I wasn't a big fan of his vocals in SOTS but that's just preference. He's got nice tattoos tho.
Me watching your expressions not sure if you're reacting to the disturbing video or your concerns for Oli's voice 🤣
Hey, I'd love you to react to PALAYE ROYALE's new song Fever Dream. I would love to know what you think of it in general and especially of the vocals.
Yo. Appreciate you bro. Wanted to say you should check out Virgin Black sometime. I just think you might find the whole structure of the songs interesting.
Thanks, I'll check it out!
@@KardavoxAcademy the song "Domine" would be a good intro to them
Pls do bmth at hellfest. Omg it would be so amazing
You gotta check out the new single by fit for a king! Reaper is so damn good, and even has some new screaming I've never heard from them before
he looks a lot like Silverstein
Have you done any Arch Enemy in this channel and I just missed it somehow? Cause if not, would love to hear your thoughts on Alyssa's vocals!
Can you pls give Aaj or Dana Dan(pls turn on the caps just for this song as the subs are not inbuilt unlike the other MVs) by Bloodywood a try? They are basically Linkin Park + Limp Bizkit + SOAD + Slipknot + RATM with the Indian vibe on top.
Everyone puts shit on Oli not screaming a lot but I feel like his harsh cleans (is that a thing?) are way harder to do compared to screaming
He's also still learning how to scream properly, and based on recent live performances he's better than he's ever been.
I agree- the screaming he did when the band first started was with zero technical training or support, and while people now love to shit on him for not being death/metalcore heavy, back then he was inconsistent & lead to his vocal cord rupture.

I've been watching your vocal analysis for a long time, I want to know what you think about the Ignea group
REACT TO BAD OMENS PLEEEEASE
React to Beyond Deviation
How do you recognise this "vocal floppines"? I want to make sure, that i dont have it
Why haven’t you done architects yet
