When Alissa formed The Agonist in high school, she didn't know how to scream and didn't listen to metal at that time (she was into Punk and Grunge). However, one of her band mates wanted her to scream and in light of hearing that she didn't know how, he told her to listen to Arch Enemy.... specifically "Wages Of Sin" (Angela Gossow's debut with the band on vocals). So Alissa bought the album and was blown away by the fact that the growling came from a woman.
It's just amazing that Alissa is now fronting her favourite metal band of all time, and she doesn't give a fuck that she isn't allowed to do cleans. SHE'S FRONTING HER FAVOURITE BAND! XD LOL talk about a dream come true! She IS, however, currently writing a solo album called "Alissa" (to be released later in the year), which is going to satisy people craving for her cleans.
I've played in a few bands myself and there are things so much more important and meaningful about being in a band than how prominent the presence of one type of vocalization is or how well a guitarist is used. Instead of complaining about how well Alissa's being used in the band, people should just be happy for her that she's in a great place and making the most of it!
You mean money?
Yeah, but it was an irresistible offer no matter which way you slice it, and she would have been insane to refuse it.
Cole Jordan yes igree my man thats tru 🙌🏻
Dude, you're cringe-worthy as hell. Is there anything else you want to say that's more in everyone's face?
@@MrJordwalk yeah mate, good for her but too bad for all metal music lovers because the Agonist were doing great and original music and her vocal talent was the icing on the cake... Arch enemy are doing the same things over and over.
The Agonist is such an underrated band. Alyssa vocals are godly. Had the chance to see them live 3 times it was unbelievable
A reaction of another popular song of The Agonist , "and their eulogies sang me to sleep". It´s more brutal and progressive than Thank You Pain!!
Symphony X - The Sacrifice
Dream Theater - The Ministry of Lost Souls
Opeth - The Moor
Zockor I think anything from still life would be great.
I knew she could sing, but I've never heard her really belt it out like this... Damn.
check out her version of swan song, her range is so epic.
BTW the song is accepella, just her.
@@krustbag1039 It’s called swan lake
THE AGONIST - Panophobia is an awesome song with her also.
Their song 'Panophobia' would probably have been a better choice but thanks for listening anyway! Good observation on the death vocals, Sori! (I believe somebody's developing an ear for it!)
I hope you will return to PANTERA soon, seeing as Vinnie Paul(Drummer) has passed away. But also he played in a band called Damage Plan with his brother. that's who was playing when Dimebag was murdered on stage. I hope you would consider doing Damage Plan - Soul Bleed. Also Vinnie played in a band called HellYeah!!!
I come back every day waiting for a dissection video
Ya? That’s cool! -Sori
This guy marklikesriffs got me into Dissection. It's the best black metal that I've ever heard. Thanks again Mark!
If you are planning on doing Dissection reaction, I beg you to do a bit of research on Jon Nodtveit, singer, who killed himself leaving letter saying that there is nothing he can do in this world anymore and that he dies happy...I think he is really interesting person and that would be more than interesting topic to discuss here, if you do the research,you will see what im talking about.
Haha funny You say that You May be quite surprised soon as I had a conversation with them about a dissection video not to mention I waited and requested since April... All I can say is that there's not much left to wait :) hail dissection
Metal yessss
YES thank you so much for doing this song. Before the lead singer switched to arch enemy, I listened to this band so much when i was in high school. It showed her vocal range; which is kind of lost in arch enemy.
bretski I think her cleans are OK, but nothing great. It almost comes off whiney.
Rob Jarrett yeah but wasn't everything from back then kind of whiney?
bretski some really powerful female singers out there that no one knows of
Rob Jarrett yeah like the girl from unsun, Maria brink or Christina Scabia. They are amazing vocalists. Female metal singers are amazing. They don't get enough attention in the metal world.
I tried to explain to you that Alissa had that ability to switch from the Growl to Clean in a breath. She just doesn't do it very much with Arch Enemy. I am happy you got to experience her talents.
Hellyeah! - Hush or Pantera - Throes of Rejection, in honor of Vinnie's passing.
Alissa obviously has quite the range on her. If you get a chance to check out their later work with their new singer, she also has a really good range but her voice seems to be a little fuller and more robust.
24.06.2018 morning bad news drummer Vincent Paul Abbott aka Vinnie Paul (Panthera) has passed away at 54 - -R.I.P
I enjoyed ladies week. Hope you guys do another one in the future
Epica - Consign To Oblivion
She's so underutilized in Arch Enemy, so many of their newer songs would have benefited from a section of clean vocals
I'm a little sad that it was such a low score for you guys, but I'm super happy you guys listened to her at her best.... thank you.
heck out her version of swan song sometime, not in a video though, its accepella instrumental.
pretty sure sori will love it.
Listen to The Agonist - And Their Eulogies Sang Me To Sleep. It’s completely makes this song sound like a lullaby.
No Within Temptation for Ladies Week?
I has sad face :(
sopwithsnoopy I was hoping for The Howling.
this is the only female fronted metal band I like 🤣 myrkur too but she's more a folk artist with metal elements
Within Temptation made real music and Sharon is a great lyricist
sopwithsnoopy i was surprised to no within to :/ but vin said more weeks r koming xd hopelly better choices
The channel leans toward nu metal we were extremely lucky for poet and the pendulum. Most would look at the 17 minutes and call it an easy pass.
Poets of the Fall - Carnival of Rust, Drama for Life and Choice Millionaire
Machine Head - A Farewell to Arms, Descend the Shades of Night and Imperium
Linkin Park - Given Up
While I'm not a big fan of a lot female fronted bands. It's great to get something different to listen to sometimes.
Amott has always written the vast majority of the lyrics for Arch Enemy and his stuff is always pretty "preachy", though Alissa does write for them too on occasion I believe - and I do agree, she is "wasted" in AE (both vocally as well as lyrically) compared to the Agonist, though I can absolutely see why she did join; she wanted to be in both bands but the Agonist people kicked her out, basically.
Possible video week suggestion, in memory of Vinnie Paul passing maybe a week of Pantera, Damageplan, Hell Yeah, and Rebel Meets Rebel reactions.
Omg hearing these women sing is amazing Vicky from agonist is the shit
You guys rock mad respect you guys respect metal thank you so much
Mechina - To Coexist is to Surrender, Be'lakor - The Smoke of Many Fires, or Trees of Eternity - The Eye of Night. One day I'll pester you to get one of these. :P
Great job as always!
I think Pantera week would be fucking good. Vinnie, thanks for your drumming and we will miss you and dime. I can't believe this is real. Metal world is time to RISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks you, Vin, for expressing a truth that is often ignored in American life: incarceration is slavery. It's stated indirectly in the Constitution itself. The government runs a for-profit slave ring in partnership with various private interests. A lot of people don't care about that, either because of who the slaves are or because they don't see it as slavery. But the government engages in the slave trade while condemning other forms of human trafficking. It's appalling.
I am a 45 year old man from kentucky but most of my favorite metal is done by female fronted bands and the agonist is top 5 for me so to the men out there get over your misogyny and grow up.
Pallbearer - The Ghost I Used To Be. Delicious doom metal.
Fendran M great song choice!
Taste like Black Licorice and Sour Gummi Bears!?
I want dancing in madness!
Vallenfyre
I would love for them to listen to anything off of the Foundations of Burden album. The Ghost I Used to be, foundations, and worlds apart are my top three.
The Agonist - ...And Their Eulogies Sang Me To Sleep
IT'S THEIR BEST SONG!
Its amazing that she got her start from trying out for Canada's Got Talent
Yes! I love this song!
Arch Enemy Reason to Believe is where Alissa’s clean vocals shine
I've been listening to this band for ages, I'm stoked you've done a review on them. Love your work
OPETH reminder ... do BLEAK
I don't think they are fans of Opeth, but, well, +1
Good reaction 🤘
Thin Lizzy, Black Rose or Emerald. Good music.
The growling is trademark Arch Enemy. She´s not underutilized, she does what the band is suppose to be and what the fans are about. It´s not that it´s forbidden to use clean singing because they have a few song with elements of her normal voice like Reason to Believe shich is really good. She uses three voices: clean, harsh and full on growl which is cool. It´s just not their thing to use her clean voice. The fans want´s more of it though but it is what it is. She´s happy anyway and the band is going strong.
You should do epica martyr of the free world. so many sombolism in that song.
Please check out Karkaos if you wanna hear a good female fronted band (that also has a sick female drummer)!
For more female fronted metal, check out The Unwelcome Savior from Light This City.
PS: Tweeted your Otep review to her and she loved it. Just thought you might like to know.
Still no Unleash the Archers. 🤔
There are so many wonderful metal/hardcore vocalists that reaction channels miss out on because no one will recommend them. Landmine Marathon, Oathbreaker, King Woman, Chelsea Wolfe, Kylesa, Myrkur, Straight Line Stitch (a black female vocalist, nonetheless!!), etc. Even rock bands like Halestorm, Dorothy, The Pretty Reckless...
I keep seeing the same bands over and over. It’s discouraging. No disrespect to you guys, Vin and Sori (or should I say Sori and Vin?) haha
Jen G Britney kicks ass
Funny enough that's how Unleash the Archers goes for me: Doesn't goes well about half the time. Their Time Stands Still LP was top notch almost no week moments, Apex is decent but lost me as they really dont take advantage of Slayes range (And let's face it she's *THE* start of the show here) as much and the older records are about the same except Slayes doesn't shines as much and musically also not as top notch.
K Zed I keep up with their Patreon and haven’t seen it. And I know they'll hate Landmine Marathon (as well as Oathbreaker, etc). I was making a statement about the comments I see.
The_Misanthrope I’ve been a fan since Demons of the Astrowaste. I agree with you, though we may disagree on their good songs. For example, it took me a long time to appreciate “Tonight We Ride”. When she relies so heavily on her upper register, I feel like it can be divisive. With a song like “Awakening” though...it doesn’t show off her range, but it’s more listenable to the uninitiated. 😊
Still haven't found good reactions to Unleash the Archers. :/
On Arch Enemy's latest album Alissa does clean vocals on Reason to Believe, so they're starting to add her amazing clean voice little by little.
Great Vid m8s.
Sori is so pretty, Vin you are a lucky m8!
You guys should check out Alkaloid. They're like an underground metal super group kind of thing, I actually found them on TH-cam back in 2015 when they released their first album. Carbon Phrases is 9 min of pure awesome, lyrically it's great but musically its heavy as fuck. Also Chtulu by them is heavy too
song not even started ,already pressed like
Obscura's Anticosmic Overload music video! Also Rivers of nihil - The silent life
I love the way you go through the lyrics in a way that treats the music as an art-form.
Dont change a thing vinandsori i appreciate your veiws and opinions y'all definitely open my mind
The beast of reactions very good
I got to see The Agonist in 2007 opening for Sonata Arctica, and in 2011 opening for Kamelot. Good opening act but not sure I like them enough to travel to see them headline (yeah, I know they have a new singer). The vast majority of concerts I go to are 2+ hours away, one way.
Allisa was the primary lyricist of the Agonist as opposed to Arch Enemy were Michael Ammott the guitarist and creator of the band is the primary lyricist.
I've never understood why some people automatically dislike a song/band because of a female singer. If you listen to a song and it rocks your soul and moves you, then enjoy it! I caught some guff because I like Project 86, a Christian metal band. I make them listen to a few songs and I've actually "converted" a few. If it's good, it's good. What is the hang up over gender, religion or whatever?
You haven’t forgotten about Tatiana from Jinjer have you?
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!! Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! "AND THEIR EULOGIES SANG ME TO SLEEP" is THE song to go to for The Agonist. The start is one of the most memorable things in female metal!!! And the song, as well, is the most incredible Alissa chaos and vocals!! Damn those people who suggested "Thank You Pain" :(
You should check The Agonist “In Vertigo”
Epica - Consign to Oblivion for the ladies week. Your welcome.
Please react to: Emperor - "I Am The Black Wizards" or "With Strength I Burn", Ihsahn - "Wake" or "Disassembled", King Diamond - "Give Me Your Soul", Lordi - "Hard Rock Hallelujah", Skillet - "Monster" or "Those Nights", Gojira - "Liquid Fire" or "Low Lands", Machine Head - "Halo" or "Locust"
TCM I haven't listened to hard rock hallejulah in forever, thanks for reminding
When alissa was in the agonist she wrote 100% of the lyrics on arch enemy alissa and michael do like 50/50. Check "first day in hell" by arch enemy alissa did the lyrics for that
The Agonist showcases Alissa's incredible vocal range and abilities much better than Arch Enemy. From the end of "...and Their Eulogies Sang Me to Sleep" to her "Swan Lake" a capella, she shows her talent.
Alissa was touring with Kamelot, did The agonist, became frontwoman of archenemy, she is professionalism as it gets. Archenemy is a beast of male testosteron. She is young too(im old)
Legendary drummer of Pantera fame Vinnie Paul just passed away (The brother of Dimebag) so maybe react to something from Pantera? Maybe "This Love" or "Floods" or "Goddamn Electric"
Alissa is awesome and spectacular when you see her for the first time in front of other music, there's even stunning effect from her growls in AE, but in front of Angela Gossow Alissa looks like a little baby that barely can breath during her choking growls. React to Arch Enemy - Nemesis live Tokyo 2008 to see what female-extreme vocal really is.
You two just made my day.
The thing is, if we're talking strictly about metal, the struggle for women simply has never existed. A fair chunk of metal historians claim Coven were the first metal band and Coven not only has a female singer but it is kinda sorta her band so it's arguable that a female started metal. (Granted more people claim Black Sabbath is the start of metal but that's neither here nor there.). Women's week for metal doesn't need to exist because every week is women's week. They're just as much an accepted part of the history of metal as men are. With that said, I also no have no issue celebrating women in metal for the same reason I have no issue celebrating any minority in metal. If you can rock you can rock, full stop. It's just a pet peeve of mine when people act like non-marginalized groups are marginalized because it creates a false victim scenario.
Also, I pointed this out in the Kittie video, if any part of the metal community rejected femininity it was nu-metal. You know, the fake tough guy jock-o-rama horseshit brand of metal that Vin seems infinitely fond of. However, I don't even think that's true since after the initial shock of Kittie (which I think was more about age than gender) they became pretty popular and still are to some extent.
Anyway we're at the end and no Liv. Still going to request Theatre Of Tragedy though. And When He Falleth please for the love of Jebus.
Indeed. I never even once encountered any comments (In real life), saying "yeah, but she's a girl". If the music is good, that's what is important to metalheads.
To be honest, I don't care for nu-metal/core styles, so I have no idea how they are. But every metal band with female members is just that: A band. Not a "band with a girl" in it. Metal has no rules of behavior. It's either you have the love for it or you don't, no matter your gender.
I mean, take sisters of suffocation for example. Nobody is saying, "yuck! a girl band!".
I do believe it is the perfect time for ya'll to react to the Swedish band Amaranthe. The songs Drop Dead Cynical, Trinity, Digital World or Maximize or all terrific songs to explore!
We need A "12 Rules for Life" review please! there are a few references to that book from time to time. Love your channel
Random aside late posting. Vinnie Paul (Pantera, Damage Plan, and Hellyeah - also Dimebag's brother) recently passed away at the age of 54. Any chance we can get another Pantera song? Goddamn Electric seems like a weirdly appropriate song choice.
Omg I love The Agonist!!! You're one step closer!!!
Please!!! Allegaeon - 1.618!!!!!!!! Campaign continues my beautiful free thinkers!!
Check out
Oomph! - Die Schlinge / Song of death
Oomph! - Das Weiße Licht
Staind Excess baggage
Megaherz Liebestoter
Rob Zombie - Everybody's fucking in a ufo
Korn Tearjerker
Evanescence Hello
the agonist - panophobia
Best song ever.
The world is yours is written by the guitarist micheal amott
Still waiting for the Batushka video reaction and analysis guys.
Cheers to that.
LTSMKASTRY same
You don't think it'd be a bit tricky to analyze the lyrics when they are in Russian? Translated lyrics wouldn't necessary be the best either.
Hammerfist1349 you know, I was thinking about that. Well I see two possibilities, that they react to the songs that are easily found and the lyrics aside (there are good translations out there, if I'm not wrong there is a Reddit discussion with a linguist translating at least I and III) or maybe make an unofficial video with both lyrics in Russian and English.
But despite everything it will be really cool to see their reaction, so far it will be a mix that they have never heard before.
Hammerfist1349 you know, the thing that has been bothering me lately, is this feeling on the back of my head, that they might be going too mainstream, and we might get ignored with request for more underground or niche bands like Batushka or truly deep cuts. Like Ov Fire and the Void or Slaves Shall Serve by Behemoth, or Dissection or Rotting Christ - Xibalba. You know songs and bands that generally don’t appear in conversations about reacting to.
I posted a comment on another of your videos. It was the Walls of Jericho video. A list of woman fronted bands that you should check out and put on your channel if you wanted to extend your womens week to two weeks, or save them for your next womens week. They are amazing bands
Handshake with Hell from Deceivers album has excellent cleans!
Deftones - Be Quiet And Drive
Love the Agonist! Eye of Providence is my favourite album of theirs. It has a really nice mix of hard and soft. As Above, So Below is an amazing song.
Hey Vin, you were worried about listening to Cemetary Gates because it would remind you of a time when Dimebag died. You listened to Cemetary gates and Vinnie died immediately after. Sometimes it's strange how God works.
What about Caro Tanghe from the band Oathbreaker?
Can't wrap this out without her. Heavy and highly emotional lyrics.
"Oathbreaker "10:56" / "Second Son of R." Official Video"
Bro those drums though🤘🤘
If you guys are still doing Ladies Week, then you should react to and check out the official music video for "Awakening" by Unleash the Archers, a female-fronted power metal band from Canada. You will not be disappointed.
I, for one, am grateful for ladies' week and I really hope female fronted metal bands enter your regular rotation because I wanted you guys to do a reaction to Nightwish's live rendition of Ghost Love Score ever since I first saw your reaction to Her Ghost in the Fog.
To be fair, I like female vocalists more than male vocalists (with a few exceptions, obviously) because I feel women can infuse a song with more emotion and they can be more versatile than their male counterparts.
That being said, I would really like to see less known female metal bands, for example I would like for you to react to Oceans of Slumber, Theatre of Tragedy, Delain, Kobra and the Lotus. Recently, I've been obsessed with an Israeli band called Scardust, their vocalist Noa Gruman has an incredible vocal range: she can growl, she can scream, she can do opera. I would really love it if you guys reacted to one of their songs and they could get more exposure.
You did two songs with Alyssa White-Gluz. Arch Enemy and this one. Next should do Sacrimony by Kamelot. Has her as well.
And it would also introduce them to the angelic tones of Elize Ryd!
Levi Everaerts yeah, they really need to react to Amaranthe! That band is mega fun to listen to.
Nicholas Lindsey Fucking love them! They’re my heroes. One of the few bands still around that know the true definition of “community”. Feel right at home at every gig.
Levi Everaerts So true. Can't wait for the new album, and I really hope they come to my city. I wanna meet them...mainly Elize lol
Nicholas Lindsey Meeting Elize will change your perspective on everything. That’s certainly what it did for me. Her energy can be felt from a long distance and is extremely contagious. Never met a kinder, warmer, more pure soul than hers. She also gives the most amazing hugs and loves to give them, so, you know, you got that to look forward to :P
Ouf!!! Juste du gros talent!!!!
I’m surprised for lady’s week, that you didn’t have any of the originals that started it, like Joan Jett, Warlock (Doro), The Runaways, and also some other major female vocalist bands, like Jinjer, Infected Rain, Within Temptation, iwrestledabearonce, and I could go on but a new band I started listening to is also Sumo Cyco which is unlike anything I’ve heard before.
About this video, I honestly believe she’s being accused of stealing a man for his faith, family, and friends because she didn’t do anything because he tries to go after her for something because of her looks, but she didn’t intend to make him attracted to her and since she denied him, he now takes it to court
YAY!!! Finally a good song for Alyssa's talent.
You guys should check out their cover of swan lake opus 20 from their album lullabies for the dormant mind. It's just beautiful.
Well, I'm a year late but I loved this in depth discussion of the lyrics. I like Alissa and this song. I always wondered or thought of the lyrics as being a person not able reconcile their soul with God and is resolved to damnation...
...thank you pain, god bless suffering. Thank you pain for preventing me returning to the source again...
Great reaction. Thanks.
I think ladies week was a great idea and I hope that theese bands will inspire more women in metal bands. I want to see more female guitarists and drummers!
You should do more weeks with a theme. How about a Opeth week? ;)
I'd suggest Dissection - The Somberlain or Spawn of Possession - The Apparition
Check out Opera IX (with their female singer) that went on to create Cadaveria.
No Oceans of Slumber for ladies week? Bummer, look forward to you guys checking them out down the road. Hopefully :) never the less, cool that you guys did this at all.
Another female singer. Bullet Belt - Deathgasm. Pretty hardcore metal from New Zealand.
Pulse they should watch the movie Deathgasm, good New Zealand metal splatter movie
White skull - Nightmares (Female fronted power metal band from Italy)
i'm asking for a copy of that book! Maybe I'm 2 years late :D
yes sometimes, people think about and want the consequences of bad behaviour. there is no such thing of pure action . the action/consequence pair is indissoluble. what is questionable is the intent (why) and who did what.
To the comments about "women having to try harder to get where they are in their music stuff" you should give Icon for Hire - Now you know, a listen
I think you can intend on consequences.
There are plenty of times where I have done something with the intention of causing a certain outcome but the action taken did not do what I intended. Which leads to your point about not being able to know exactly what the consequences of a certain action will be.
