@TheCharismaticVoice You have to do Dream Theater's song, Pull Me Under. Very iconic prog rock/metal song. Ask your Patreon supporters they will confirm it if they haven't already suggested it. ❤ You will enjoy it. Very powerful and full music.
I played their version of Nights in White Satin at my wedding because the blast beats made me giggle.
Top notch!
We LOVE that you featured Cammie and the band. Not only is she insane, but her drummer (and husband, Dobber) is an extreme metal legend (and an insane pianist). Please do check out older stuff! Cammie is unreal.
The way dobber tunes his drums tickles my soul in a very particular way. Absolutely can't enough of his drum sound. Kick super dead and low, snare and cymbals bright and washy, toms like thunder. It's sooooo good
During a performance of No Color, No Light she had tears running down her face and it was the most moving performance I have ever witnessed. Absolutely soul crushing. This was during the tour with Insomnium, small venue.
She is an incredible vocalist. I cannot wait to see Oceans of Slumber again.
The music video of "Winter" was a suggestion here on UA-cam and after seeing it I wanted to hear more from them. After seeing the video of "This Road" I immediately ordered the album "Winter" . What a voice !
Ohhhh I've never heard this before and I LOVE it! Thank you for showcasing it for us!
A Return to the Earth Below is craaaaaaaazy! Cammie's voice at the end of that song give me chills. Pray for Fire is another really cool with great vocals and interesting song structure.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAY 😍😍😍
Elizabeth, A Return to the Earth Below, To the Sea (Tolling of the Bells) and ....This Road are all fantastic examples of just how versitile Cammie's voice is.
I'm so happy Oceans of Slumber finally won, they are truly exceptional.
Ps. Cammie was on Ayreon's "Transitus", the song "Hopelessly Slipping Away" is a stunning duet with Mr. Karevik!
Smeagol likes this.
I would add their covers of Solitude and Nights in White Satin in the list, they made those song become so intense
Just want to agree....
They need more recognition and mainstream sucess. I love Cammie and as a fellow Texan I have loved this band for years.
Yessssss!!! I’m so happy someone is finally reacting to Oceans of Slumber ❤
They’re a local band for me and I’m super proud of them! Winter or The Banished Heart would have been my suggestions to start with but I’m just happy you’re giving them some much deserved attention.
Winter made it to the Patreon poll twice but didn't win! :(
Banished Heart would be spectacular.
@@GrunkleBearnison Ugh, why? It’s so good! I like the new album but it’s very different from their other stuff and I think it may have turned a few people off from checking out the rest of their work.
@@bleachdragon88 I'm guessing Winter didn't win because OoS isn't as well known as the other bands that were in the top 5 😅.
I do hope folks check out their older music for a much heavier sound, they're just so versitile. It reminds me of how Opeth progressed with their style 😁
Yeah, this song doesn't really feature Cammie's vocal talent. It's catchy, but it's not a song worthy of analysis. The stunning The Banished Heart or A Return To The Earth Below or the studio version of Sunlight would have been much better. And they're just better songs overall.
@@chesapeake566 Completely agree. The Banished Heart made me cry the first time I watched the video.
Dang, her voice gave me goosebumps so many times! What a rich, textured voice, and I love how much you can still hear all those techniques she uses when she's belting. I really wish this could have been longer, please have them back on the channel!
I met Cammie when OoS supported Ne Obliviscaris in London a few years back. She was super nice, very friendly, and their set was an excellent opening act. I'm really glad to see that OoS are gaining a bit more traction and getting more recognition, they're great. I'd particularly recommend their cover of Nights in White Satin.
That cover is osomm!
Damn that must have been one hell of a night!
I was at this show!
Opeth is magic. I hope you will do some more Opeth songs in the future, like "Burden" , "Harvest" , "Dignity", "Heart In Hand" or my favorite "Sorceress".
Also, Isolation years and Faith in Others. Probably, two of their most emotional songs.
I really Elizabeth she would do the album version of Burden or The Locust Eater. She's picked not the best versions of his songs so far.
@@sethhatlelid3135 using live versions can prevent copyright strikes
@@davidbernard5994 I know, but they are just really good versions. 🙂
Yep, can't wait to see Opeth live again in 2 days. Absolute magic.
Hmm, maybe not the best choice for a first impression (A Return To The Earth Below for example is much more impressive and explores more of her voice registers), but still a solid performance from one of the best vocals in Progressive Metal right now. Cammie is absolutely stellar, both in studio and live, and puts her soul into every note. I don't remember the last time I was so impressed by a "new" voice in the scene, she and the brilliant drumwork from her husband makes this project one of the best things that happened to Metal in the past decade. Can't wait for the reaction and thanks to you and whomever suggested this!
I've been the main person pushing to get Oceans of Slumber on TCV 😁 a Return to the Earth Below didn't make it to the patreon poll, unfortunately.
I agree it's a better example of Cammie's incredible register, I hope Elizabeth reacts to it!
Agreed, that would have been a better intro! The Banished Heart would also have been awesome.
It's not her first Opeth impression. She made a video for "Ghost of Perdition" a year ago.
Other newer vocalists are Diana Leah from DELAIN, Who recently reformed the band in Netherlands.
I am sure you probably know Elise Ryd from AMARANTHE.
And I suppose you know Brittney (Slayes) Hayes, from Canada's UNLEASH THE ARCHERS
@@rickrack4812 there are multiple videos with Britney on Charismatic Voice :)
FINALLY SOMEONE REACTS TO THIS BAND.
They are sooooo good. Saw them live a few weeks ago. Cammie an absolute goddess
Cammie Gilbert is amazing. She completely won me over when I heard The Banished Heart live when they opened for Insomnium a few years back.
So I've listened to this channel for maybe a few years now, probably fifty or more of your videos, and I've never once just stopped and gone to listen to the original track mid viewing.
Until now. What on earth is this beautiful song? I'll be back! 💜
Winter is a monumental album that really demonstrates the capability of what this band can do.
Damn, I got excited when looking for new Opeth videos and this showed up in the newest videos. Then I decided to listen to this and was surprised by her voice. I do like seeing different and unique things in metal, and her voice is unique. I think I'll check out more. I did get a bit of an Opeth feeling from some parts.
That said, I would love to see you do another Opeth video. I know there aren't a lot of great videos for a vocal analysis, but Mikael has written so many amazing songs and does so many great things with his cleans and growls in all of them. The 2 videos you have done were barely a taste.
Why does one require a live performance for any vocal analysis ? I mean just the official audio of the song should be enough.
@@futurebreedmachine9302 Being able to to actually see the singer and what they're doing is part of the analysis. How they move their mouth and stuff.
It doesn't even have to be live, a music video like this one works just to have something more interesting than a still image of the album cover.
Thank you to the patreons for introducing yet another band, this is definitely going on my playlist ❤️
Omg you like deep dark metal,?
@@ericarmstrong6769 I have a eclectic music taste, because for me it is mainly about the emotions in the music, less about the music genre.
@@sarawlindgreen3115 Love your reviews. Check out Sheriff - When I'm with you
By the way, I've mentioned this group to you numerous times. Thanks for finally doing this.
Finally an Oceans of Slumber reaction :D
I hoped your first hearing of this band would be with 'A Return to the Earth Below', but maybe as second song instead?
Their cover of Strange Fruit by Nina Simone is raw emotion. Also gotta give a shout out to Swallow the Sun as was mentioned by someone in the comments. If you ever want to listen to songs about being utterly heartbroken, Moonflowers album is there for you.
I second Swallow the Sun. Was pissed I missed them when they came to town.
@@brandonstarck9041 Sorry to hear that. I've seen them live once. Definitely worth it if you get a second chance!
Strange Fruit is by Billie Holiday though
Great band, happy you found them! Cammie is phenomenal. The Banished Heart is an absolute must, featuring much more of her range coupled with a hauntingly beautiful video as well.
I still love their song 'Winter' so much
I love what you do! I love what they do! I love this channel!
Would recommend checking out A Return to Earth Below, This Road and / or The Winter. They're all great tracks by Oceans of Slumber and compliment her voice
Cammie has an amazing voice. This is the leadoff track from the latest album, where they leaned heavily into a Southern gothic feel. Dark and brooding, lovely stuff. If your looking to just listen, their version of "House of the Rising Sun" from that album is haunting.
Staying with a haunting, dreamy voice, check out A.A. Williams and her song "Control". specifically the version from "arco". She scored her original for strings. She was a professional cellist before taking up the guitar and singing. Her music is always lush and dark.
I was actually wondering when or if it will ever get on your radar. This makes me happy. Cammie's voice it's just top in metal
Thank you for introducing me to anew artist. I enjoy discovering new artists, whether I end up liking them or not. This band I definitely love the sound and style.
Love that you’re doing a video on these guys - had the privilege of touring with their drummer is another band 10 years ago (and the other guys from the first line up). Amazing people and amazing musicians.
I also second listening to A Return To The Earth Below!
WOW I didn't know the Band, yet and this song sounds already so nice that I do want to listen to all of em.thanx E and thanx patrions for upvoting this song. I do always love good music and this one is the song of the month for me.
Same. Listened to the whole album immediately.
I found Cammie through her duet on Swallow the Suns' "All Hallows' Grieve" from last years Moonflowers album. An absolute beauty!
I saw Swallow the Sun a few years ago, opening for Amorphis. They blew me away. Elizabeth would probably like the Cathedral Walls video.
@@SteveFrank111 Yeah, STS and Amorphis are quite close. Juha and Tomi along with others did Hallatar as a tribute to Alliah. But, I'm sure you know that.
Finally!! Oceans of Slumber needs more love!! Cammie is such a great singer. Hope you’ll cover more of their songs!
I started listening to Oceans of Slumber after finding The Decay of Disregard on UA-cam. Such an evocative sound. Then Sunlight and Winter were both great songs. Great to see it featured here.
While not metal, I think the artist LP would be a great one to check out on the channel. The song Lost On You has a lot of interesting vocal work, and would make for a fascinating deep-dive.
Love this song, the whole album is excellent. Please do a reaction to their cover of House of the Rising Sun, it’s beautiful.
First time hearing Oceans of Slumber. Very impressed and going to continue down this road.
Ah, she's Abby from Ayreon's Transitus! I absolutely love her voice!
her song with Tommy it's just pure eargasm - it's soo deeply magical
one of the best music discoveries this year, love from first listen! ♥
Looking forward to watching this one. I just learned about this band. I was at the record store Friday and they were playing something I really liked and when I asked who it was, they told me it was Oceans of Slumber. I left the store with their self-titled album. Really like it.
Omg. Cant watch yet, but I was so excited when I saw that you posted this! I found them completely by accident years ago when I saw them open for Insomnium. I’m from Houston so they’re a local band for me. I was so blown away when I heard them that I went to look up the rest of their music that same night. 🤘🏻
Now that you’re a fan of Oceans of Slumber, check out their whole discography (it’s all great) and their excellent covers of “Strange Fruit” and “Nights in White Satin.”
Don't forget Wolf Moon! That's how I discovered them actually, they play Wolf Moon on the weekly cover show on Sirius's metal station every once in a while
SO STOKED FOR THIS!!!!!!
Oceans of Slumber and Cammie are newer discoveries to me
I’m so glad I found them. I don’t even know how to describe them. Some songs are hauntingly beautiful and yet soothing
Can't wait for this! They are fantastic!
Cammie is another great vocalist I discovered thanks to the wonderful Arjen Lucassen. Cammie sings the lead female part (Abby) on the last Ayreon album Transitus.
I’m a casual Ayreon fan (haven’t dug too deep yet). I didn’t know that. I need to do a deep dive now
Cammie! 😍 Random discovery of mine but freakishly good. Sooooo looking forward to this!
I am SO happy the Patrons voted this onto my list. It's amazing!
Cammie is incredible, and their back catalog is full of great material. ❤ I have a friend who knows the band and is always perplexed why they aren't more popular. Hopefully this analysis will get them some much deserved visibility!
What a beautiful piece of music thank you for expanding my horizon! I really love watching your facial expressions and visceral reactions to music. You also point out little techniques and explain the technical terminology of what is happening vocally really well. Thank you!
Fascinating... I would have definitely landed her voice in an R&B or maybe jazz context. In a metal band? REALLY unexpected. Kinda digging it.
Oh, So fresh! I love to hear new sounds like that!
I really enjoyed Oceans of Slumber's first album, Winter. There are some tracks on that you really MUST check out! I'm certain that the song "Lullaby" will chill you to the bone.
So glad you got to this band - definitely worth exploring more of their songs…
this album is quite a departure from their sound , which is more like a progressive death/doom sound with tons of extreme parts and growls. Check out their previous three albums "Oceans Of Slumber" , "The Banished Heart" and "winter"
Glad to see OoS getting some love. They are totally overlooked and amazing artists!
I'd love to see a reaction to bjork - human behavior (the live version)! It's super musically interesting and she does some weird stuff with her voice that I'd love to have explained
I was very happy to see this review of Oceans of Slumber. My childhood friend was in this band up until a year or so ago and he asked me to go to their show while they were on tour and in town after they released The Banished Heart. The Banished Heart is a phenomenal album and Cammie's rendition on that album of "The Wayfairing Stranger" is so haunting and beautiful. There are so many songs worth listening to! Please listen to more to get the full spectrum of her vocal range!
VERY cool to see you venturing into the "Doomy" darker side of Prog Metal :D. Thanks for that! I wonder if you might also like a band very much like this, but a completely different voice from "Marjan Welman" in the band *Autumn* from the Netherlands. She joined in 2008, and appeared on the album "Altitude" (2009). Marjan also appeared on the Ayreon album "01011001".
Suggested tracks:
The Heart Demands
Syncro-Minds
"Cold Comfort" (2011)
The Scarecrow
Cold Comfort (title-track)
There are videos for "The Heart Demands" and "The Scarecrow" (GORGEOUSLY sung, and perfect music accompanying her beautiful voice).
But . . . . If you want some INSANE Prog Metal with odd-time signature's _before_ the Djent scene, and a incredible melodic vocalist by the name of "Øyvind Hægeland", in the Math Metal band *Spiral Architect* from Norway. They've only created 1 phenomenal album called "A Skeptics Universe" (2000). The other members have been in Black Metal bands, but thought they'd try their hand at Technical Prog Metal . . .
Suggested tracks:
Adaptability
Insect
Spinning
And for the band that inspired this type of Prog Metal, including the genre; from 1989 album "Control and Resistance": *Watchtower,* with vocalist "Alan Tecchio" (who came from the Thrash band "Hades", also from Texas). This was at the peak of Alan's vocal range, as it has matured a great deal. Though Hægeland's voice is still going strong and able to hit incredible highs.
Suggested tracks:
Control and Resistance (title-track)
Dangerous Toy
Instruments of Random Murder
Unfortunately both bands don't have quality live footage or pristine quality videos, so I hope studio tracks will suffice.
Lots of other bands of this sort (some a bit heavier, more aggressive), but hopefully others will suggest other bands.
I think you will be floored by not just the vocal ranges, but also the impressive music, which they have found a way to sing on top of. All 3 bands will probably NOT have many requests, as they are obscure and very "niche'", so I hope you will search out for them.
- Hope you and fans enjOy Elizabeth \m/.
@ The Charismatic Voice, I'm so excited that you are showcasing a Variety of Genres and styles on your Channel. You have been bringing a greater Understanding of the Nature and Value of arguably the most important ' Musical instrument ' known to Human Kind. I'm looking forward to more Posts.😊✌️❤️
I discovered this band through the amazing cover they did of the song "Solitude" by Candlemass.
I found this vocalist/band via Ayreon's Transitus. I don't think you've done any of that. You should take a look. Like everything from Ayreon it's amazing. There's a load of Tommy Karevik too, and we know you like that :-) I have no idea how to recommend a particular track though, as the whole story is so core to the work. It's all good :-)
Really looking forward to this reaction. This band is amazing. Its a solid choice for a first reaction of Oceans of Slumber, but iff you really wanna dive into her voice you should take a look at "This road" The live take from studio or A return to the earth Below. Both equally amazing pieces of art
Oceans of Slumber are such solid musicians, and Cammie is an absolute delight! She was a vocal tutor at Houston's "Girls Rock Camp" the year one of my kids attended, and Cammie happily chatted with me after a show about the experience, about her funny interactions with my kid. 😃Great people atop being great musicians!
What a find! I'm loving this sound.
So nice to see my fave band here. More please?
Long overdue! Oceans of Slumber is so good, they deserve more fans \../
Great choice of song, my favorite from the new album.. maybe, too many good ones :D
Thank you Elizabeth for your analysis of vocals from 80's songs I grew up on. I love your insights and emotional reactions, which remind me of the first time I heard them. Allow me to suggest you listen to Pat Benatar's 'Heartbreaker' off her 1979 debut album. I have heard she has a four octave range; she is being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this November. Best wishes!
I'm new to your channel and I have to say, I love your enthusiasm and energy. Thank you
Oceans of slumber is awesome, I discovered them through The Decay of Disregard, can 100% recommend this song!!
Oceans of Slumber is SO great! This song seems like a very odd choice for a first listen though. The obvious choice (to me) for a vocal analysis is their live studio session of "This Road". Runners up would include "Winter", and "A Return to the Earth Below".
SO excited! Oceans of Slumber is one of my favorites, Cammi is one of my favorite vocalists. One of my favorites is I pray for fire. Another song showing off more of her vocal skills, and a great message too. We need more reactions to BIPOC artists too! (although you could just go through all of Oceans of Slumber and I would dance for joy)
Great reaction as usual.
I just ran into this band on a random playlist the other day! Been really enjoying their song "A Return To The Earth Below." She does some great belting in that as well.
Really like this song, the way she rolls her long iis, and aas into an ee. Her belt is a little higher that I expected, and it fits very well..
Love this lady. I really enjoyed the band and the vox were right up my street.
Along the prog metal lines, I’d love to recommend Ex Libris. It’s prog but with a lot of symphonic metal influence. Dianne van Giersbergen is one of my favorites in symphonic metal.
LOVE OCEANS OF SLUMBER!!
Been listening to them for a few years now and had the luxury of seeing them live and meeting them for the first time just a couple of weeks ago. They are all so amazing and talented and there are a number of songs that really show off, not only Cammie’s voice, but the entire band as a whole. Off of their most recent album, I’ve found the song “Red Forest Roads” is absolutely amazing vocally. Other great songs to check out include “Pray for Fire”, “Sunlight”, “…This Road”, and “At Dawn”.
Like what I'm hearing. Thanks for introducing me to a new band!
Hey Elizabeth, recently found your channel and love listening to your take on songs old and new. I especially liked your Tremonti video of his Sinatra cover. I've listened to Tremonti for years now (huge fan all the way back to his Creed days), but it's cool to have someone walk you through the song and techniques he uses, and really appreciate what a talented vocalist he really is.
If I could make a recommendation for you to look at - take a look at Our Last Night. They're a trio, consisting of 2 brothers who both do the lead vocals, one's clean and the other is a screamer. They do some really cool stuff, and one of their videos is of Disney rock covers which I think you might find quite intriguing.
Anyway, keep up the great work, and look forward to seeing what you come out with next :)
Oceans of Slumber 🙌 their catalog has such range and craft in each production. Such a necessity in my world through the years. Absolutely must get the latest album. All their albums! Incredible artists.
Oceans of Slumber is a gift that keeps on giving. So thrilled to finally see them featured on this channel. You should check out Winter, The Banished Heart, or No Color No Light (which features Tom England of Evergrey). They’ve also done some amazing covers like Wolf Moon and a truly haunting version of Strange Fruit
I would have recommended Pray For Fire, but Liz already said she’s going to check out the new album :P
Their Candlemass cover - Solitude -is what hooked me.
Love Oceans of Slumber, glad you finally got to them.
Hope you continue looking up more progressive and melodic metal bands. A few I think you'd really like with excellent/varied vocal work and would love to see your reactions to would be Soilwork(Bjorn Strid), Dark Tranquillity(Mikael Stanne), Amorphis(Tomi Joutsen), and Soen(Joel Ekelof)
I believe music does not require ever more genres to connect emotionally yet I love analysis. I don't easily equate the early verses with metal (excepting the snare). Is "soft metal" simply rock? As always I love the content of this channel - I'm just curious what descriptors came to mind for others. As strange as it may seem the opening would fall to contemporary folk in my view.
Good stuff! Talking of Houston why is it that the genius 3 part harmonies of 3 piece masters KING’s X (from Houston) never gets the vocal coach treatment? I think you’re missing a real treat there. “Summerland/Goldilox/It’s love” all bangers from one of the most overlooked bands of all time. Same can be said of the queen meets beach boys power pop multi layered harmony- tastic JELLYFISH too.
Love the videos and songs you cover. Hoping you one day get to Soen (ex Opeth drummer Martin Lopez’s band). Joel has a beautiful voice. 💙🤘
My favorite song of the album .the whole album is sick.the voice is crazy
Just downloaded the whole album to listen to.
Now am listening to their whole catalog. Their cover of House of the Rising Sun is excellent
Oceans of Slumber such a awesome band. Really love their cover of Nights In White Satin and Kashmir.
Now listen to The Banished Heart. The last few minutes of that track are absolutely breath-taking.
Wayfairing Stranger
I love how you mentioned that she has a lot of power but instead of belting it out she's containing it. If you listed to A Return to the Earth Below like others are mentioning you'll be in for a treat
we need more PROG METAL!!!
I love to see a video on something from Cellar Darling. Like "Dance" or "Insomnia". I discovered Oceans of Slumber at a concert both them Cellar Darling (and a bunch of other bands) were playing.
This is one of my fav bands of all time and usually gives me chills
Love the Candlemass cover they did
Just found out about them today! Now i gotta hear that candlemass cover. Thanks!
I'm glad to have heard of this band, thank you! :)
The first part of the song reminded me of Heat Miser from Massive Attack (which is a good thing :) )
Great to see you've reached Oceans of Slumber and the latest of Ayreon's leads (Transitus). I've been hoping you get there, as she's quite amazing! Their earlier stuff was reminiscent of The Gathering and was heavier, doomier, like an awesome cover of Solitude a few years back, but now they've evolved to a thing of their own, with this latest work moving off on a tangent of their own, less metal, but just as impressive.
Wow. Never heard of them before, but I looked them up based on watching this video. Seen they've done covers of some old classics too, like Nights in White Satin and House of the Rising Sun. Cammie's voice is truly haunting. I will definitely be listening to a lot more of their songs.
Hi Elizabeth. Just stumbled on a new video from a Christian Rock band who formed back in the 1980's. The singer is Michael Sweet from Stryper and the song is called Transgressor. Amazing vocals from a 59 year old. 🤘👍👌
I love watching your reactions they're very informative! I've improved my general knowledge in music quite a bit! Please react to some of Joji's music, especially his song "Glimpse of us" !
I would love to see you take a look at Poets of the Fall. Marko has one of the best voices out of anyone alive right now. His Range is unbeatable and the quality of the music from the band is just top notch. Any of their songs can show that.
Really underrated band.
Yes Madam, that was about time. Cammie is one of a kind in metal, soulful, powerful and unique ❤
Maybe not the perfect choice for a first reaction, there are better songs, but it gives a nice impression of what she’s able to do. Cammie is Instant goosebumps.
A Return to Earth Below would have been my choice I guess, or maybe Banished Heart
Great band. Her voice is amazing!
Since we're back in prog metal I'd love for you to check out Ne Obliviscaris again. I feel like you've barely tasted their potential. I discovered them through you and they've since become my favourite band by far. I would recommend Painters of the Tempest or Forget Not as some of their best pieces for a reaction.
