Sometimes I forget that there are people who haven't really been exposed to the culture at all. Seeing their reactions to things like walls of death and mosh pits in general is fun, as well as just how intense the songs seem to feel.
@@Eyrie007 anyone who knows or has known a metal head knows that. Or at least they fucking know to say that to appease the rage that would be otherwise unleashed...
The audience was doing what is known as a "Wall of Death" where two halves of the pit run at each other and it turns into a circle pit. Its insanely fun lol
And if you wanna go more batshit crazy, find an insane group of people, convince them to stand in the middle with you and then try to reach the stage at full sprint as the 2 walls close in. Now that's a moshpit 😅🤘
It'd be great if it were actually only him doing it but there are always a handful of assholes in the crowd that ruin it and scream along anyway. Spoils the moment.
Alex demonstrates his growls on his TH-cam and Instagram channels. He has been called 'fake' many times, but he has dispelled those comments many times over :)
I remember fallowing his YT channel waaaay back in like 2008 because I was so blown away. He’s been practicing way more than 12 years. Closer to 20 I would think
@@KINGKAI41 they add a fair bit of saturation to get all of the harmonics but it's all him. Live, he is incredible. He does the 'demolisher' with no mic and his voice carries.
5:11 thats called a Wall of Death If you search Wall of Death you'll find some pretty epic ones. P.S. We gotta get him to do Shadow of Intent - The Heretic Prevails.
"This microphone is simply a prop. I actually don't need it." Hahaha. As I understand it, he pulls the microphone away like that to prove he's doing the vocals on his own. No enhancement from the mic or anything hidden in the mask.
The bit without the mic was definitely real. Obviously it was mixed for the video so that it would be even sound, but he actually does that at shows, has the audience quiet down and then belts out “DEMOLISHER” in that absolutely GNARLY growl and it fills the auditorium. Dude is one of the most well-endowed vocalists in the genre rn in terms of lung capacity and air support. He’s unreal
When you said "it took him a dozen years to do that". You were right. He's stated himself to get where he's at he's worked for at LEAST 12 years on his craft. And yes, it's 100% him, and 100% real. No modulation needed. As many others have stated, he demonstrates it in random videos he posts on Instagram and TH-cam. He'll just bust them out randomly doing everyday things. He's crazy nuts and crazy low with those growls.
He does most of it himself yes but some notes are given texture, for context he is getting that low but the extra gravel and length to his voice is added anyways he is doing it himself.
I just love how open minded and awarding this dude is towards this „special“ genre and mostly the band. I mean lots of people dont like it and wont appreciate the art behind it. Good content, keep it up!
If I'm not mistaken, it's studio audio on top of a live video. So that's why you hear him clearly even when it shows him not using the mic. During the live show, he hushes everyone in the crowd so he can growl without out the mic and be heard. Also please check out Unleash The Archers and their song Awakening. Lead singer Brittney Slayes is a belting goddess 🤘🇨🇦
Need to add that on the word 'Demolisher' there's also at least two simultaneous vocal tracks, a high and a low one, like in much of the parts of the song.
@@zsigmondtimii No actually infant anihilator is really programmed drums, it's kinda their thing, to be decomplexed about that. Of course they find some insane drummers to play some of their songs but not everything
The fact that you said "a dozen years of practice" and I'm pretty sure that is currently the amount of years Alex says hes been practicing makes me respect your takes on music more.
5:11 The phenomenon you have just witnessed is colloquially referred to as a 'mosh pit'. 7:15 Yes, he literally does that live with the mic at his hip with remarkablly little change in quality. There are a few videos of him doing it at live shows floating around the internet. Alex is an absolute beast.
If you want to hear how he gets his sound, search "Alex Terrible Of slaughter to prevail vocal demonstration" on TH-cam. You'll hear a raw recording of his voice. And also see a cute cat
The mask doesn't add to his voice, he just naturally sounds that monstrous. I've seen them live and he sounds the same with or without the mask. He's just one of the best metal vocalists around.
Answering the mask question: Black metal bands have traditionally used "corpse-paint" to enhance the evil aesthetic of these kinds of groups. I would consider these masks to be a variation of that tradition.
What absolutely slays me, is the clarity of his voice during the guttural Russian part, my buddy is Russian, and he said you can make out what he is saying perfectly. This led to a long discussion on the merits of Russian being the perfect Deathcore language.
yeah during live performances of this band he screams that super low "Demolisher" without the mic. He shushes everybody so its more audible, but it is audible. The live performance of Holy Roller by Spiritbox does a similar thing (a band i highly recommend). The vocalist Courtney for that band is absolutely amazing, I recommend the songs Blessed be, Holy Roller, and Rule of Nines by them.
Courtney was in iwrestledabearonce and I had seen them live a few years ago, it was on a city street they closed for a concert. She got the best wall of death I’ve seen going and some dude standing in the street got wrecked. Dude thought it was funny till she yelled out “smear the queer” and the walls closed. It was like half a block wide.
I'm not a death metal fan really, but I'm a metal head non the less.... but damn. That's crazy. And kudos to you for such an open mind on EVERYTHING you react to. And the comical non expletive, expletives 😆😆 I enjoy those from you just as much lol.
Late to the party, but there’s a live video of this concert and yes, he actually takes the mic away from his move and screams “DEMOLISHER” which can be heard clear as day from the back of the room. Extremely impressive
Literally spot on with how long you though hes been practicing to reach where he is it took alex 12 years of vocal practice and hes absolutely a MONSTER
Obviously, the "Demolisher" part is layered but he does all of those layers himself. There are videos on his Instagram where he's doing it in his bathroom :D
My buddies and I met up with him at the mall in the city they were playing that night, insanely chill man. As for his vocals. He warms up side stage and it’s all you can hear throughout the whole place, above the random music they play between sets.
I have both concerts on disc, but I think the Red Rocks quality is hard to pass up. That and Joakim's backing vocals are freaking amazing. He goes so well with Mikael.
So glad you did this! Yes Alex will do vocals without a mic at moments, ive seen it live 🤘there is vocal layering in this mix BUT he performs just as good live, trust me!
Can confirm that all of this is real, even the part where he screams Demolisher. I saw them live last year, and they played this song before it was released, and he did both the super low part, and then the DE-MO-LISH-ER scream without the mic. Also, the whole show was amazing, I cannot recommend seeing them enough. Honestly nobody can be prepared for the sonic brutality you hear at their shows 🤘🤘🔨🔨
Nice choice... You should consider reacting to Mike Patton. I don't even know what band / collaboration / project is the best. He is versatile and works on so many projects, have created so many bands... I would say some Tomahawk or Mr. Bungle stuff. Or maybe his EP with the Dillinger Escape Plan for a pure metal act... anyway, I guess Mike Patton would be a pretty interesting case for you!
Yes! that microfone thing is real, you can find the show of this clip and he actually sings "DEMOLISHEEE" without the mic, and we can hear his voice over the audience, it is crazy
I've practiced this type of vocal technique as well as Tuvan/Mongolian throat singing and you are right that they both come from a similar place. I discovered the Tuvan stuff while practicing these types of screams (I call them the bear call 😆) Not sure about the technical stuff behind it but there is a way of manipulating the vocal chords to create a sort of "resonance chamber," like with subharmonics, that is how you get that sound. If you push it through your normal vocal chords you damage your voice so you have to properly shape them to get that sound with the least effort possible.
his lows are indeed real. it is a studio track over the live video though so that's why that specific part where he holds the mid behind his back is so loud. alex has been doing vocals for 12 years and in concerts he does the behind the back mic for that part and you can still hear him clearly in the back. you can check his instagram videos of him doing that on his phone mic, in his car, in his room, really anywhere. he's just an all around talented guy. also on his youtube he does covers of all sorts of songs with his unique spin ofc.
If you watch the recording of the concert when he raises his finger to his lips, the whole crowd fell basically silent. When he took the finger away him and the whole crowd sung "Dom ol ish er" at once.
That's hilarious, you said he's been practicing for a dozen years and...yeah he himself said he's been singing for about 12 years like this, I can't believe how you got it spot on lol. You should check out Kardavox Academy's channel cause he's a vocal coach as well but he focuses on growling and there is definitely vocal technique to growling and using your vocal chords in that manner without damaging them.
Thats called a wall of death when the crowd rush each other, scary as hell to watch but fun as hell to be in cuz usually people try not to seriously hurt each other and we help people that fall or dont like being there!!!!!
Hi Ken! I've been waiting for a vocal coach to check out Jinjer's "Judgement and Punishment" one take vocal performance by Tatiana. I'd love to see your reaction to it! It's just her and a mic (and a cat...).
@@seelenwinter6662 There are lots of Jinjer reactions, yes, but not a lot of them are by vocal coaches like Ken and most Jinjer videos don't have such a direct focus on Tatiana. For a vocal coach, it's the perfect Jinjer video.
@@seelenwinter6662 no there are not thousands of this reaction yes jinjer is a heavily reacted to band and that's for good reason Tatiana is a beast of a singer and this new studio recording just proves it even more
These reaction videos are pretty entertaining i used to wear alot of band tees and got my country listening probation officer to listen to some stuff. Theres a cover he does that proves quite a bit of his vocal skills.
Impressive indeed, for a change of pace I'd love to see you react to Leprous, just about anything they've done but preferably from their live performance at Rockefeller. :) Keep up the great work with the videos!
KEN LAVIGNE!? AMAZING! I clicked on this video and thought "Dang that looks like Ken Lavigne!" Looked at the channel. OH DAMN IT'S KEN LAVIGNE! So dope! Great vid, loved your reaction to that Russian segment :D
"Is this real?", he says. 🤣🤣 Yes. Yes, it is most definitely real. Perhaps - as a vocal coach - you should give distorted vocals more study. And Alex's are not pitch shifted. They are raw other than some EQ and some effects to broaden and accentuate his tones
Love the reaction to seeing a wall of death for the first time. Yeah, basically two sides line up and when the breakdown drops you rush the other side. Best way I've ever gotten a broken nose was in a wall.
Most people stop at the vocals, and are turned off. I’m primarily a metal listener and I hear the vocals as another instrument. As soon as people stop trying to understand what the vocalist is saying, and see that it’s just another piece of the music, hopefully they will appreciate how orchestrated metal is. In this case, Death Metal.
His singing ability isn't amazing but that man can growl like a demon. I think he's just a bass that hasn't been taught properly lol. Alex like to take the mask off when he goes into his really deep growls to show that he's the one actually doing it. He has a ton of proof he can do that actually so that is him.
Why is non metal people watching metal so entertaining? Dont know, but damn its a pretty good watch lol
Sometimes I forget that there are people who haven't really been exposed to the culture at all. Seeing their reactions to things like walls of death and mosh pits in general is fun, as well as just how intense the songs seem to feel.
Because people finally are realizing it's deserving of respect and these musicians are very talented.
@@Eyrie007 anyone who knows or has known a metal head knows that. Or at least they fucking know to say that to appease the rage that would be otherwise unleashed...
I particularly enjoy hip hop channels reactions to it. Look up hip hop infant annhilator drum
I cackled when he saw the mosh pit and was like "what are they doing ? Are they all rushing each other?" 🤣
Sees first wall of death
"must be a Russian thing" lol love it
Someone got it!
Was waiting for this comment lol
I’m late, just commented the same thing 😂
Hahhaa
I love you ❤️❤️
"at some points he even goes lower than youd expect"
Everybody who knows whats coming: "not yet"
Ahahsha i was waiting
LMAOOOOO truuu
Lmao that's exactly what I thought..he kept pointing out the lows in the first min or 2 and I'm just like you dont even know bro...
The “I can go lower” meme comes to mind.
I giggle like a school girl when they're faces show how shocked they are Alex's lows
The audience was doing what is known as a "Wall of Death" where two halves of the pit run at each other and it turns into a circle pit. Its insanely fun lol
I’ve died 19 times in walls of death
And if you wanna go more batshit crazy, find an insane group of people, convince them to stand in the middle with you and then try to reach the stage at full sprint as the 2 walls close in. Now that's a moshpit 😅🤘

Nope. We all toooootally weren't 🤣
Damn right i am lol
Not anyone.
Everyone.
Yes alex said it himself, it took him 12 years to achieve the vocals he has right now.
When they play live, he silences the whole crowd, puts his microphone down and screams Demolisher at the top of his lungs. 100% real and just insane
Holy shit
Damn
He has a video of it on his Instagram. It is FUCKING insane. You can hear him so clearly... Dude has power.
It'd be great if it were actually only him doing it but there are always a handful of assholes in the crowd that ruin it and scream along anyway. Spoils the moment.
saw them at this is exile anniversary tour and they were fucking insane
The wall of death only happens in the most brutal pits. These guys must have insane live sound.
They're absolutely amazing live. All of its constantly heavy and fast paced. Run out of breath if you're in the pits
I mean, I was in a wall of death at a Polyphia concert

Hahaha. As I understand it, he pulls the microphone away like that to prove he's doing the vocals on his own. No enhancement from the mic or anything hidden in the mask.
He did it many times last time I saw them. He projects so incredibly well that he can get solid volume even over the crowd noise.

He does it live 100% especially in smaller venues. When I saw them he did it without the mic and he was still so loud
@@BO55N355 bruh that's insane!
This is also probably an explicit request from his sound guy, so they aren't buying speakers/subs at every venue, lmao

Love you man, pure intrest, no judgment and an educated language! 💪🏽
Also check out White Chapel's Phil Bozeman performance at the Mitch lucker memorial show
Thats called a wall of death when the crowd rush each other, scary as hell to watch but fun as hell to be in cuz usually people try not to seriously hurt each other and we help people that fall or dont like being there!!!!!
Earthside a dream in static, vocal masterpiece, crazy high notes.
F5 sharp in the chorus.
I can scream lol I love watching people who aren’t too familiar with the genre react to it. It’s amazing to me. Nice reaction.
Wall of death 🤘🤘🤘 classic mosh pit
There are live performances where he does the "demolisher" part without the mic, and its intense.
Great reaction!
Alex Terrible - Disasterpiece will give you a lot to talk about.
Live videos will prove the power in his voice. It’s insane
Hi Ken! I've been waiting for a vocal coach to check out Jinjer's "Judgement and Punishment" one take vocal performance by Tatiana. I'd love to see your reaction to it! It's just her and a mic (and a cat...).
there are thousands of that... gets boring with the time...
@@seelenwinter6662 There are lots of Jinjer reactions, yes, but not a lot of them are by vocal coaches like Ken and most Jinjer videos don't have such a direct focus on Tatiana. For a vocal coach, it's the perfect Jinjer video.
@@seelenwinter6662 no there are not thousands of this reaction yes jinjer is a heavily reacted to band and that's for good reason Tatiana is a beast of a singer and this new studio recording just proves it even more
These reaction videos are pretty entertaining i used to wear alot of band tees and got my country listening probation officer to listen to some stuff. Theres a cover he does that proves quite a bit of his vocal skills.
Impressive indeed, for a change of pace I'd love to see you react to Leprous, just about anything they've done but preferably from their live performance at Rockefeller. :)
Keep up the great work with the videos!
I'm surprised and delighted at not only your knowledge of the genre but your interest in places where you lack knowledge. Super cool
OMG, you really don't know how much I was expecting this... INSTA LIKE
"He's like a.....he's basically a cement truck." LMAO!
"ACKSHUALLY. IT'S DEATHCORE, MMKAY?" - That Guy
I love this music and I blast it all night long
"This mic is a prop, I actually don't need it"
yes that is literally the case lmao
KEN LAVIGNE!? AMAZING! I clicked on this video and thought "Dang that looks like Ken Lavigne!" Looked at the channel. OH DAMN IT'S KEN LAVIGNE! So dope!
Great vid, loved your reaction to that Russian segment :D
" Sounds like Godzilla "
Quite accurate description of Alex here
“This microphone is simply a prop” 😂😂. You have the best reactions man, funny as hell.
Shadow of intent-Heretic Prevails is an amazing song their lead singer Ben Deurr is a beast I think it would be a good song to lead off of this one
Thanks for the comment! I’ll look for that next Monday.
Your reaction is extremely refreshing
I would love to see you react to Archspire- Involuntary Doppelganger official lyric video. That would be amazing.
I want to see them live soooooo badly
"Is this real?", he says. 🤣🤣 Yes. Yes, it is most definitely real. Perhaps - as a vocal coach - you should give distorted vocals more study. And Alex's are not pitch shifted. They are raw other than some EQ and some effects to broaden and accentuate his tones
Love the reaction to seeing a wall of death for the first time. Yeah, basically two sides line up and when the breakdown drops you rush the other side. Best way I've ever gotten a broken nose was in a wall.
Most people stop at the vocals, and are turned off. I’m primarily a metal listener and I hear the vocals as another instrument. As soon as people stop trying to understand what the vocalist is saying, and see that it’s just another piece of the music, hopefully they will appreciate how orchestrated metal is. In this case, Death Metal.
I love that you noticed the deathwall at 5:00 :,D just seeing these videos makes me miss concerts so much , no mosh pits in over a year :.(
His singing ability isn't amazing but that man can growl like a demon. I think he's just a bass that hasn't been taught properly lol. Alex like to take the mask off when he goes into his really deep growls to show that he's the one actually doing it. He has a ton of proof he can do that actually so that is him.
I know I've said it b4
But...
Ur awsome..
This one of my favorite reactions ever!!
Silly human, Alex's vocal cords aren't of this world...
It’s called wall of death, when the crowd collided
