While the song has some absolutely amazing moments, overall I have to be honest and say I have mixed feelings about it. Lets have a good time and keep it real while I react to and analyze Fleshgod Apocalypse - The Violation!

Hey man! Can you look into vocals of a hidden gem, brutal progressive slam death metal band Afterbirth? Latest "Four Dimensional Flesh" album is just a masterpiece and lately they did a live under this link:
th-cam.com/video/qUESMkm10kI/w-d-xo.html
I'd love to know how to do such vocals! They make absolutely captivating memorable melodies and riffs. Every second of their craft is with intention \m/
Their concept is just beautiful, the in-between brutality songs like "Girl in the Landscape" is a cherry on top. This music is experience.
Well, the actual vocalist is the drummer on this video. And he played vocals, guitar and drums in at least 2 or 3 albums. He taught himself to play drums to fill the gap!!! Francesco Paoli is a mastermind!
My old band opened for them in a show in Virginia, and he ended up almost having to use my drum kit because his got lost in their shipping somewhere and would not be there on time, was going to cut port holes in the bass drums for mics and then offered to buy me some new heads after the show. Ended up using a kit that already had the port in it, but still such a great guy and so damn talented.
Indeed!
The vocals on "Agony" were done by Tommaso Riccardi. He was FAs lead vocalist from "Mafia" up until "King". Paoli did vocals on "Oracles" and "Veleno".
>He makes the best pasta ever, too.
@@SargonnasIncarnate well, he sure is italiano!
Not a fact, but to me it feels like the highs cracking are intentional just to add to the overall chaos of the song. No matter, this track is so good.
It literally sounds like he's straining his voice I doubt it was intentional. Imo I would've sounded much better if he end that singing part on a lower note even if he was able to hit that high.
@@billybobthekidiswack don't agree with that at all. It's not supposed to be pretty music.
@@Twiggyay I know it's not supposed to be pretty music but his voice cracking doesn't add anything to the music other then cringe. There's a reason why when they play this live they get the female opera singer to hit the high part instead.
@@billybobthekidiswack... But I believe it adds to the music. As the OP wrote the song is a blistering fast death metal-fest. Controlled chaos, and the corruption of classical music doesn't end with electric guitars and growls, but encompasses the strained voice in the chorus.
The good thing about art is that we don't have to agree, because it's in the eye (ears) of the beholder. There are plenty of people who don't understand extreme metal, but we do. That's fine. We don't see eye to eye on this, and that's also fine.
@@Twiggyay to each there own but you can't tell me if he would've ended his chorus with a proper high scream or growl that it would've sounded less better then his voice cracking.
To me this doesn't sound like the corruption of classical music it just sounds like metal with orchestral timbres in the background (although many of there other songs are very classical inspired). Imo if you want a corruption of Classical music metal band check out "Ad Nauseam- imperative imperceptible impulse". The album is a well composed polytonal cacophony (polytonality is very "anti-classical" in a traditional sense) and In there tracks "horror vacui" and "coincidetia oppositorum" incorporates some purpose voice cracking that actually adds to the dark and chaotic atmosphere of the music.
Sure Beauty is subjective but there is an objective standard that determines what is "good art" and "bad art".
They do have a live opera singer during shows. She is amazing. She and the bassist sing together sometimes.
The bassist during the fool is awesome
Fleshgod is one of my favorite bands, this song is what I call the gateway drug to their catalog. I've seen interviews where they talk about those cleans as very much being a part of the songs allure. It was very much intentional to leave them as it was. I personally love the gritty feeling.
If you want to hear the clean singer's lower range, 'And the Vulture Beholds' off of their album King has a far more comfortable performance from him.
Excellent analysis as usual, and hearing your personal stories was wonderful. Thanks for the video!
One of their most recent songs, “Sugar,” is also a fun jam. Definitely check that out on your own time or as a reaction.
I have never felt that this song is the best intro to Fleshgod, I have always felt Epilogue is a better one to get into the band.
Omg I heard this song when it first came out and forgot all about it!! I loved it so much back then. Thanks for the reminder bro ✌🏼
No problem!
The clean chorus does it on point for me! I loooooove the drama and yelling ... In tune and killing it for me.
You should really do a Black Dahlia Murder reaction! it would be really cool to invite Trevor too
Papa Trev would no doubt, be the best interview
@@frankiasparri866 true
.....*sigh*. Love, to you fellow blast fiends.
@@mileszemanek3064 :( still can't believe it
So uhhh...
Yes please! I'm so excited for this!
Hey Mark, I'd love to watch your reaction to Spawn Of Possession- Apparition. It's symphonic tech death as well.🤘🏻😃
Mark, please react to Avatar - Bloody Angel live at Poland Rock and Shaman - Fairy Tale also live. I'm sure you're gonna love it!! I really admire your work. Lots of love from Brazil!!
Jesus christ, those blast beats are on point.
O my! My favourite Italien band! Didn't expect to see Fleshgod on here, but boi I'm glad! Thanks
No problem, thanks for watching!
We need to get some Septicflesh goin!
Saw them live in October... These guys are awesome live
35:26 *Skyrim level up sound*
In regards to your notes on Paolo's backing vox; did Francesco and Paolo work together on getting a particular tone they felt suited the track. I personally loved how his vocals sounded in conjunction with the rest and knowing the band members skills I wouldn't be surprised if it was deliberate but if I'm wrong on that then so be it and kudos to you for picking up on something us regulars would miss. Also, as a vocal coach giving reactions, be polite about your criticism but NEVER hold back. People should always get the most objective response from a trained expert (and any artist that can't take constructive criticism has bigger issues if they want to put music out there 😅)
yessss Fleshgod! highly recommend doing "Epilogue"
Not that it takes away from your criticism, because it applies to all singers, but the bassist handles all the clean vocals (when they don't bring in the opera singer- definitely check out "Epilogue", personally I think that's one of their best songs). I think he also does a bit of backing growls, but not much. They do still write parts for him, and iirc the piano player handles the more "spoken word" parts.
Definitely recommend looking at more of their work. This is one of their most intense songs, in that it doesn't let up from beginning to end, whereas their other songs have more changes of pace, mood, etc.
No way it was unintentional that they had that weird falsetto stuff just before the harsh vocals mentioned "[un]merciful fate"
Different guys singing. I agree the highs don't sound "right" but I think it's a purposeful choice.
I think the highs are intentional in this song, just my opinion though.
I would have loved to see one of those co-reaction videos with you and the Charismatic Voice lady to a Fleshgod song. Preferably one of their songs that really feature the operatic vocalist though.
Would really like to see you react to a newer song of their’s because I most certainly prefer their original/current vocalist over who was in the middle there. Really anything off of King is worth it. These people put in such a hell of a show too. At times their albums can run together, but live they are absolutely unbelievable
13:59 lololololol....I nearly fukin died. thank you for having the plums.
eternity's end has some similar instances of upper range vocal strain. at some point, it becomes a stylistic choice.
Hey Mark, please check out the band 'Septicflesh' 🔥
Hey mark, you should check out a band called Yonaka it's a rock band from England with one of the best female vocalist I've heard. A good example of the pure power of her voice is the stripped/acoustic version of guilty. It's just a powerful song
i was at a concert with them here in Denmark some years ago, what i remember most about it was that the drummer had a broken leg so he could not play the kick drum so he played over a back track of the kick drum and he did it to perfection it was glorius
That's pretty dope!
I love the Part with the fast Drums. :D
I hear what you are saying but personally I love this song and the part you criticized. I don't really enjoy too much of their discography but this song totally does it for me!
Dan-Elias Brevig has an acapella version of this song on youtube. HIGHLY recommend checking it out, so very well done and I'm sure you'd really enjoy it!
My man needs to dissect “The Fool” by them
The Dethklok vocalist’s name is Nathan Explosion. 😁
Doh!
I didn't know I wanted this until I saw it.
The Wise Man's Fear just released a new single, definitely worth your time to check out
2:15 Honourable Battle-Brother!
This song is so fucking sick. Glad you covered it
It's quite fun, yes!
@@KardavoxAcademy I play it on beat saber and it kills me bro LMAO
did you take down the Shrine of Malice - Kiss of the Wind reaction and analysis? That was one of my favorite reactions
Please do Full of Hell
Blast beats blast beats blast beats blast beats. I can already see mark air drumming so much😂.
The singer of The Animated death metal band Dethklok is Nathan explosion
Love the channel. Just noticed your DnD books. DM, player, or both?
Best italian metal band!
Mass Worship - Orcus Mouth
New and great 🤘🔥🤘
Nathan Explosion. Thanks Mark, now I have to binge the dethalbums for a few days now.
This one is definitely a great song overall! You should check out "Conspiracy of Silence" next time!
Absolutely sick beat!!!
Vulvodynia markkkkk literally anything but Nyapoe featuring the guy from gutalax would be awesome
As a chiropractor I love the adjustment he makes at 9:17 haha
So I always understood that he didn't play the drums, I thought it was Machine Guns. As for songs I actually love The Forsaking. To me they made it an entire piece of art with the visual story told in the music video.
You should do Fleshgod apocalypse - No. It's easier for first timers
that neck crack wtf! hahahaa
I think you lingered a little long on what you perceived as bad technique, rather than acknowledging that this is a stylistic choice that he has constantly reproduced, seeming without harm, for years. Some people approach things differently, much like terminology. I mean pointing it out and saying 95% of the time you shouldn't approach highs like this is understandable but there is always that physiological grey area where what is viewed as the normal way to achieve or approach something, doesn't work for some. It was a fantastic break down as usual but where it is stylistic and isn't causing harm sometimes it is good to acknowledge that the singer sounds like that because that is the effect they were going for.
You have to do a reaction to Detestor. They're a Ukrainian band with some absolutely sick vocals. The Abyss Walker is about Atorias from dark souls. There is a video out there of the vocalist doing three songs consecutively, a very impressive feat.

The reason most people recommend this song is "drums go brrrrrr".
From a composing and vocal standpoint their new stuff is way more interesting tbh.
That's totally fair!
Is it possible that a vocalist might want to sound strained for the character they are playing as the speaker or for the atmosphere of the song? (The same way that composers for horror movies might use dissonance to breed unease in the viewer)
I am the like 666! I love the bassist singing
Correct me if I'm wrong guys (Not going to fact check this) but I've read several times that Francesco Paoli (The drummer in this video and the actual signer now) have self taught himself to play drums only 3 years before this video. If that's really the case, to me it's a first to see someone learning that fast.
3 years is plenty of time to get fast if you train constantly, btw, you are correct
MOAR PEEWEE HERMAN VOICE PLOX
I'd love to see you be a bit more critical in some of your reactions. I think it would be good to discuss things that don't work very well and should possibly be avoided.
I have mixed feelings about this song too, I however love Fleshgod Apocalypse and this song is not a representation of how they generally sound...... I would suggest you do some of their newer songs..... they have evolved a lot
The mixing on this album is exhausting to deal with
whats the name of intro music, i really loved it!!
We have our own intro and outro music for the channel!
How coincidental, the vocal evaluation winner and vocal character for dethklok are both Nathan.
COINCIDENCES!
Do next Korpiklaani Ievan polka.
The Italian Mob is after Mark now.
those D&D books behind you ?
Man just casually cracked his neck while talking.
As much as these high notes are not done in a right safe way and harmful to his voice, this song wouldn't have sounded as epic if the were done properly. I'm not saying that's what he should have done regardless the voice damage, but I can't help myself with how epic it sounded.
Ayyyy, I got picked
I also sing that high if I'm hit between the legs! 😉
Pssssst... you got the song title wrong in the description
Dude react to Death Portrait by Lorna Shore
He doesn't do CJ related stuff, (due to controversy)
@@lightningman212xd6 pretty sure he reacted to Death Portrait, but it got taken down due to copy-right. Might be wrong though
@@foulmercy8095 he has immortal also, but he's removed all of em, staying clear of cancel culture
@@foulmercy8095 Correct! We did death portrait and Immortal, both got takedown notices and were globally blocked
@@KardavoxAcademy rough yo 🙁
brother algorithm
Brother!
Not a great FA song, IMO, but seems to be the only one people react to.
