- Y'all. Sometimes I get tired of metal. I write it, I teach it, I make videos about it. It all gets to be a bit much. BUT MENTAL CRUELTY'S NORDLYS DID METAL CPR ON ME AND I'M ALIVE AGAIN! Seriously, what an amazing few months it has been for metal. @lukas.nico_cruelty vocals are INSANELY good, and this is blackened deathcore done RIGHT. I'd even say this song is almost entirely black metal, with deathcore vocals added for flavor. Either way, y'all, we need to get mental cruelty to MINIMUM 500k monthly listeners on spotify STAT.

Thank you Mark! You´re a legend!🤘
Wow, deine Vocals haben mich echt überrascht! Abgesehen von deiner wirklich breiten Range find ich deine Nuancen und Betonungen einfach richtig nice! Kann es kaum erwarten euch Jungs mal live zu sehen!!!
You guys need to come to Canada!
There he is! God tier man!
Pest is simply the song of the year. thank you for this masterpiece mate. LG aus Leverkusen
Lukas and Mental Cruelty have put out the best album this year! We the fans thank you for this masterpiece!🤘🏻
I haven't seen you this animated and excited about a song in ages, it's a fucking banger of a song.
Mark’s commentary in this video really compelled me to leave a review. I had played with harsh vocals for a long time but I never felt comfortable doing it. Sometimes it hurt, a lot of times I couldn’t access a sound that I thought I had figured out the day before. Long story short, I had no direction and no way to know if I was ruining my vocals. After taking a few lessons with Mark, I feel so much better. I have been able to play with so many tones and styles comfortably because of his teaching. If anyone has been thinking about taking lessons, I highly recommend it
Yoo good to see ya here! So glad to hear that the lessons last fall have helped out!
I would love to. But I'm sadly poor.
Maybe one day. I'm glad Mork has helped so many people.
Mork is the shit! 👍
Their new vocalist is awesome. Can't wait for their album. 🙂
I totally agree with that, the old vocalist was insanely skilled but this new guy has so much more range and brings so much variety to the music.
The ending riff reminded me of Black Tongue so much. Just throwing a disgusting, evil sounding riff and making it groove so incredibly hard.
He looked like a kid again when that breakdown hit. Pure happiness
the final breakdown's music reminded me tremendously of Behemoth, in particular, their song "ov fire and the void"
The first two singles leaned slightly more deathcore, and this was a nice change of pace from the “black metal majority followed by a deathcore breakdown” formula (WHICH I LOVE BY THE WAY), I can’t wait for this damn album to see how they’ve expanded, because it’s already GREAT.
So glad Lukas has restored my faith in this band.
Its the 50% black metal purity 50% core that makes it stand out (on top of vocal excellence) for me.
One of the best metal songs this year for sure
Mental Cruelty -"Zwielicht/Symphony of a Dying Star"
This is the real star of the recent EP
Defenitely need an episode for Zwielicht/Symphony of a Dying Star next
So excited for this. Lukas is a new favorite of mine, so excited to see how you analyze his technique!
HOLY SHIT! Kardashev is my absolute favorite band. Haw have I not seen this channel before? 🤦🏻♂️
Yo, no way! Well first and foremost thank you so much for listening to our music! And second, glad you're here! New K-shev is moving along :D
What I love about their "breakdown" is that they didn't go for the usual deathcore breakdown championed by Lorna. They went with a good black metal riff with the drumming and didn't have to add crazy vocals. Amazing.
I agree, mental cruelty may be becoming my favorite Blackened Deathcore because it’s black metal…
This band has the actual black metal sound, and the highs! I genuinely enjoy the new vocalist. Also Gorgoroth is my favorite BM band as well. But pentagram with Hat on vocals is my favorite album.
MC were Blackened Deathcore to me even when Luca was the vocalist, and way before I knew about Lorna Shore. Definitive 🤘
This track definitely takes blackened Deathcore to an amazing level, it’s my favorite of their singles and it’s my most anticipated album for the year right now.
And the more I learn about how much you love black metal, I would LOVE to see you do this with more black metal bands, I loved the video with Ghost Bath, but I’d love to see more!
Your videos have really helped me develop and understand my vocals keep up the great videos
OMG that was just the best ending that I have ever heard in a long time! I wish it was a bit longer but overall that was amazing. And the vocals just solidifies why I want to be a vocalist.
I was eating while watching this but I definitely nodded when you asked "Did that make sense? "😂😂
I just about fell out of my chair when he said “ITS TIME TO STOP” when talking about Belphagor and Gorgoroth at the end lol
best reaction Mark! This song is just pure fire - wish more would see it like this and it would explode on views :/
Also came here from your comment on their video. Just wanted to see how you reacted to the ending.. I laughed when you had to replay it. Its BEAUTIFUL.
I never get tired of your reactions man. Keep it up 😂🤘🏻
06:35 that cut was awesome

"Rite" (sorry...)
I recall your old video on Darius of SPITE doing Unanswered (Suicide Silence).
He dropped a live one take of "Thank You, Again" and it will blow your socks off. Absolutely insane.
Yeah, makes sense!
Never been more fooled by a band's logo. They are absolutely tearing BM's boundaries to pieces; and they're not just breakdowns, either. Reminds me a bit of Blackbraid, one of my new favs. This was the first time I actually enjoyed sitting through an entire reaction video and not skipping any parts. Finally someone who knows how to sing metal--reacting to metal! You're a beast, brother. Keep it up🤘💪🍻
I could listen to you talk about black metal all day
Yeah, it makes absolute sense! Started out slow with throat singing first (khorekteer worked pretty fast and couldn't find the kargyraa tone especially with the "clearing your throat" technique" -> so I wasn't able to get to my false cords and one day as I was just goofing around in the car I suddenly did it because I thought it maybe is just not for me). With the kargyraa approach I found my false vocal cords with a very relaxed approach and now I am working on distinguishing between my relaxed false and fry vocals and even the mixed drive.
Love your videos and your explanations and it seems we have quiet the same taste in music styles too! Thanks Mark!
i am so ready for this album to drop.
Absolute banger 🎉
I'll watch it cause i'm tryna learn from you 😤
That 'Blackened Deathcore' breakdown at the end is such a power house.
💯💯💯 agree with your thoughts on black metal. These guys are doing it it right.
You sir... Are a fantastic teacher 🍻
You should listen to “Arrogance of Agony” from their new album. Pretty sure that is your cup of tea
And Blackcore has been born
Haha, you really had a blast with this one.
Great song!
It World be nice a video of kanine "damaged". Slam, sick vocals specially his lows. Cheers folks
One thing I loved about this song is the black metal “swing” they have in some sections. This is something I love. It also contrast with the wall of sound deathcore sections.
I have a similar story for learning to make crazy sounds. I would play with my dog and growl at her. I’d watched enough of your videos to understand the principals but was always nervous because I didn’t want to hurt my voice. One day when playing rope, I growled in a way that didn’t hurt and felt like something you had described. Now I play around there- and sometimes push it a bit, but not too much!
I’ve heard this song before. And it’s amazing. I hope to hear more from MC leaning heavier on the black metal side.
I too consistently always go back to black metal . Never tires throughout the ages
I've been saying this for awhile Mark but you need to check out 156/silences the wrong sense. Jacks breathe control is fucking nuts. Its one of the best metalcore/hardcore songs Ive ever heard. Their lyric's are amazing. Someone in the comment section said it was like he was screaming a rap song. The rhyming is amazing and he juat doesnt stop in that song!
It would be a really good episode.
06:36 I'm glad i'm not the only one that has these moments.
Completely right about the half assing thing. I was at work yesterday being quite to not bother anyone and i produced my first fry scream. Granted i instantly lost that "place" because i was dehydrated af but i still did it lol
You mentioned a couple videos ago that you're REALLY in love with the thall sound, and would love to see more bands using that influence. I recommend you take a look at Before I Turn! Especially theirs songs: Bereave; Masquerade; Murder; Oxytocin(their most recent single). They're sort of a mix between Modern Metalcore, Deathcore, and Thall. It's AWESOME.
The moment I heard the brass horns I was done.
Unbelievable ending. Flawless.
black-metal is underrated..love the new Mental Cruelty!
Gorgoroth is also my favorite black metal band! Haha man! Love it!
Go listen to Symphony of a Dying Star
When you say cavernous I immediately think of Sven of Aborted. Would love to see an analysis of his awesome and weird low vocals.
The fact you mentioned Abigail Williams made my Day
This has been one of the most useful videos I’ve seen as a vocalist for over 10 years. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Also, love the fact that you know about Abigail Willams
Abigail Williams is heat 🔥🔥🔥
definitely the best black metal breakdown I have heard and they are very rare !
was waiting for the sword to come out during that outro, disaapointed!
OMFG ... O_O
EPIC.
Damn, Thought the s-word was going to make an appearance. Loved it.
I would love to hear your thoughts on Obsessis A Demonio from this album. The breakdown at 2.30 has some of the most impressive, filthy, vocals I've ever heard.
Thank you for mentioning Dimmu. I could hear the influence from the beginning. This track is insane!!!
What the actual fuck, omg insane 👀
20:25 OH YEAH!!!
7:35 That's exactly what I noticed too
DEVILOOF - 拷訊惨獄 Live
i know a st johns bay tshirt when i see one
I just listened to this Song called Rotting Elysium by Red Means No Mercy, Exorcised Gods. It would be so cool to see you react and show us how they do these fucking insane vocals!
The curry allegory couldn't have felt more perfect. Was literally eating a bowl of curry while watching 😂
im so glad that they finally did a bm song without a breakdown 😂
the endwas a breakdown
@@samhorst9928 i mean deathcore breakdown
keep the core out i say
Mark you gotta review "Mental Cruelty - Zwielicht/Symphony of a Dying Star" please!!!
This vocalist remembers me of aeons of corruption and distant.
Incredible vocals, technically impressive, but I see the same tendencies and techniques in all new bands. What do you think about "classic" growls/screams? I heard some impressive vocals in polish band SCEPTIC. They released new album lately, it's like journey to 90's but with modern sound and exceptional musicmanship❤
waiting for the day when blackened deathcore will turn to deathcorened black metal. i think these guys are close enough.
Never heard of this band, they sound Norwegian, which is a good thing. Amazing stuff.
I think they are German
After Dimmu Borgir released "Death Cult Armageddon", THIS is what i was hoping "In Sorte Diaboli" would sound like.. Finally! Mental Cruelty really is something else man!
Id like to see what you have to say about kmac! He just released a track called 1 5 2 4 3. His music isn't such a spectacle as some if the bands you listen to on here, but it is excellent, and his voice is kind of his secret weapon!
the blackened deathcore style has been around much longer than people recognize, and finally this band does what no once since i think abigail williams. phenomenal, can’t wait for the album
edit: just got to your story of learning to scream, hilarious that abigail williams was that point
Omfg thx for introducing Abigail Williams to me!!! They’re frikkin awesome!!!
god damn it reminds me of satyricon mother north
It does mean northen lights
19:30 ish totally answered 😂
How to sign up for your new vocal course?
Yeah Gorgoroth is the goat of black metal for me too. Especifically the Gaal era
Same thing that bands like distant have been doing lately. I will say mental cruelty leaned way more into it than distant though.
Your reaction and genuine enthusiasm to this song has turned my ear onto not only these guys, but the black metal genre as well! 🤘🤘
P.S. Curious what your thoughts are on the band Deafheaven? Would be cool to see a reaction to one of their songs off of Sunbather.
Its just dope! Black metal meets deathcore in a triple A porn!! That album needs to come out ASAP!!
Song was okay, the lack of a fade out kind of ruined it for me though 😘 jk hahahaha, 10/10 song for me, that black metal breakdown floored me.
I like my metal like my chicken, blackened and juicy
Very cool song. Even if this type of sound has been around here and there in snippets, for a bit. This is another level. Just what "deathcore" needs as i feel its getting a bit predictable at times. Blackened deathcore...interesting.
Ever heard of Esophagus? I would like to hear you talk about that style vocals sometime. You rock!
Did you listen to their other new song "Symphony of a Dying Star" too? This gotta be the most melodic death metal song a deathcore band has ever produced. Love it when bands branch out and try new things
MC REALLY sounds like "Deathcorened Black Metal"
Tbh I think their first one was better than this one imo. The first one they released with their new vocalist, Zwielicht/Symphony Of A Dying Star. I'd check that one out 💯💯💯 if you haven't already lol. It was on repeat for me for a couple weeks lol but this one is really good too though. Just not the same shock factor I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. But I still definitely really enjoyed it!
Not a huge fan of high dominant vocals that's why I could never get into the black dahlia murder. A hill to die upon had just the right amount of highs mixed in to where it's not overwhelming.
Hold up, Schmerler isn’t the vocalist anymore? Shoot I missed a whole lot.
Sexual assault allegations.
@@smokejc oooooh that's what it was. Damn that sucks.
@@Graive17 yeah like mostly Metal vocalists these days
Whole lotta that these days smh
Listened to any Blackbraid? Tasty indigenous Black Metal from the Adirandack Mountains. Slaaaaaaaaaps.
JOIN THE CVLT XOXO 💊
''i hope they are not nazis'' every black metal fan ever huahuahuhuahuahuahuhua
i love Lukas, but I would have liked a reaction on a track from a Hill To Die Upon, Lucca had way more resources, such a shame what he did
What did he do
@@sequoia7284 some bad things.
Mark reacted to "Ultima Hypocrita" when it first came out, but took it down likely because of Lucca's allegations
