I had a small laugh when Mark said “this is the part everyone is going to want to talk about” for the first breakdown and thought to myself “he has no idea what’s coming”
A friend had something similar with "To the Hellfire". He stopped the song before the last breakdown and I yelled "keep listening, you flat head!". He was blown away later on 😂
@@justinkendell301 Even more ridiculous how clean he is live. Also I've never seen anybody that looks like they were about to fall asleep playing drums, let alone at the speeds on tracks like this and Sun//Eater.
My favorite part of your channel is how you always, always give live examples of what you're talking about--it makes such a difference to hear someone do the sounds in real time and not just describe them.
Lorna is embracing the meme. Every new song has a new crazy Will section, and I swear to baphomet that the next song is going to open with a breakdown lmao
Nope. Nothing can be too heavy imo, it can only get too sloppy. These guys are pretty masterful in their execution. Also the breakdowns should be obscenely heavy.
Hey Mark, I dont know s..t about singing and stuff, but seeing you smile and enjoying to talk about it and appriciateing every artist sends just good vibes and makes you really likable. Thanks for that.
Yeah Will's vocals are *extremely* constricted in lows, gutturals and highs. The throat video confirmed that. It's a miracle that, as it seems, the weird torsion stuff he does with his larynx seems to prevent any damage from occurring. Insane sound though.
I’m not even a vocalist, nor have I practiced my metal vocals in a really long time. I just really enjoy your channel/reactions for how much educational info you provide.
You should do a co-reaction with: -*Alex Teyen* of *Black Tongue* to their song *Coma* -*Darius Tehrani* of *Spite* to their song *Kill or be killed* -*Guillaume Villeneuve* of *Beyond Deviation* to their song *White Noise* or *10,000* -*Florent Salfati* of *LANDMVRKS* to their song *Lost in a Wave* -*Josh Davies* of *Monasteries* to their song *Force Fed Apathy* or *Digital Suicide* -*Austin Dickey* of *For the Likes of You* to their song *Forlorn* or *Rot with Me* -*Dane Evans* of *To the Grave* to their song *Wastage* -*Devin Duarte* of *Worm Shepherd* to their song *Ov Sword and Nail* -*Travis Ryan* of *Cattle Decapitation* to any of their songs You should do a reaction/analysis video on: -*Tactosa* - *Augured In* -*Babirusa* - *Desolation System* -*The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza* - *The Alpha: The Omega* -*Suicide Silence* - *No Pity for a Coward* -*Parkway Drive* - *Boneyards*
Lorna Shore is hands down my favorite Death metal band. And My favorite metal vocalist is Will Ramos. From the talent to the pure technicality this dude has brought to the genre Its frkn phenomenal and other artists are pushing harder to bring their A game now. it is so fkn cool to see.
Lorna Shore has become my gateway band into deathcore. It started as a fascination watching vocal coaches react to Will Ramos, which led to me genuinely enjoying Will’s golden retriever personality, and finally me listening to Sun//Eater and saying “omg yes, YES, this is legitimately epic!!!”
Is that a D&D map set up on the table? Also, I really want to say, I checked out the new Kardashev album, and it's amazing. I'm really digging it. Best of luck to you guys ❤
the fact that will doesn't use that many vocal tracks is fucking insane. I'm guessing he does double tracked vocal lines and occasionally will add an extra layer with a different style of scream to accent some parts. Certainly helps make live tracks sound really close to the studio recording though
If you had Will's Patreon, I'd suggest doing a reaction to his versions of their older album! Particularly Death Portrait as he does some crazy vocals in that song.
They’re fine but compared to CJ’s original version, it’s nothing. Lacks substance and low sounds like their staining him, as CJ just has those powerful lows.
Not sure if you've seen it yet, but the Will Ramos and Nik Nokturnal cover of Chelsea Grin's Recreant gives an excellent view of what Will is doing with his mouth shapes and tongue placement for these awesome sounds. It would be pretty cool to get your take on that 🙂
it would be kind of fun to hear you talk about bands with dangerous vocal techniques like see you next tuesday or old avenged sevenfold. would also love to hear what you have to say about really shrill vocals like destroyer destroyer or a sawtooth grin. anyways, good insight as always sir.
@@sommelierofstench I hadn't heard of either one, so I just listened to a couple songs. Damn that stuff takes me back to bands like Orchid and Reversal of Man. I haven't quite decided if that's a good thing yet though 😁
He has talked about dangerous vocals during his reaction to LED by Tallah (with their vocalist Justin Bonitz). It's a crazy song, so perhaps youll like the debate about it
This was without a doubt my favorite video of yours, from the subject matter to the topics discussed - I found myself talking to my screen several times going "YES, EXACTLY OMG" lol
Mate I love that you mentioned Alex Teyen. I met him 2 years ago in Bournemouth, Dorset and when I greeted him he gave me the biggest bear hug I ever had. It was wonderful.
Liminal rite is so different and so good. Reminds me of another band. Slice the cake. Seriously. Check them out. Clean vocals are amazing. All his vocals are amazing and so is the rest of the band. And they tell a epic. Sooooo underrated. Please amplify them.
8:36 is some of the most important advice you can have for any instrument. I’m an electronic musician but I spent years learning what I could do within the restraints of synths or trackers before I really fleshed out the cool sounds I wanted to make inside those boundaries
Hey, just fyi, that second to last tone is (I say is, but that's how I make it) a closed mouth tunnel (mid-high fry as I do it) with A LOT of nasality. Weird to get a hang of, but a blast to add texture to tracks!
Speaking of TOO heavy Did you listen to Nitheful's last single - Sacramentum ov Filicide? I was blown away with sounds Derrek can produce with his mouth It would be lovely if you did a video about this track
the video gave me infant annihilator vibes at time. Though with how insane vocals are, would it be possible to just get a break down of some of the vocalists who founded what would become what we have now in Deathcore?
That second to last tone that you said sounded weird is actually Will doing a closed mouth. If you watch his one take vocal play through he is doing clothed mouths at that part. It's insane.
That second to last tone that he does sounds like he's closing his mouth and forcing all the sound out of his nose. Never heard another vocalist do that before!
Dude literally the first thing that I thought of when I saw Will under the scope was that we cannot see what is happening underneath where the camera cannot go. And it really made me realize that even though we have seen a lot of what is happening at the surface of the throat we still don't in now what is happening beneath. As a voc as list that is somewhat a unicorn in his own right I often wonder how it is I get so low and it feels like something is ingaging below that stuff. Also as I bit off a more nasty side note: I found out from dry heaving involuntary that something activates and causes a rattle that is very much sustainable..... I'm not sure what I did this. But I really analysed the physics behind that Involuntary movement and it felt like something that barely ever moves. And it created a rattle, flutter and timber that was very unique. If I can figure out how to take that shit I will for sure comment.
As pretentious and egotistical as it may sound. I can do things rather easily when it comes to harsh vocals. And I am no stranger nor am I afraid to put my own stank and funk on it. And I am pretty confident that I have at least one or two noises people haven't heard yet. Or at least have not incorporated fully into music. I guess if I was to say it in dumb terms I can get almost as low as Alex terrible and give it the "power" everyone loves and I have old shrine of malice highs. Of course I try to be an animal with zombie/tunnel techniques. I love the voice, from voice acting to singing to screaming to inhaling to tuvan throat. To beat boxing. I love it. I would say I'm a unicorn
Last guturals sounds like Dickie Allen showed you the technique with closing nose and make resonance with it. He said it sounds like moving stones or stone gates )
First I saw the clip, I thought just an unstoppable youtube advertisement. But yeah, I'm very proud, that the clip made in Budapest, by a very talented Hungarian Director.
the biggest take away from the breakdown Is during his Camera down the throat he used a technique where he does a low scream and its super nasally and I thought, that's sick, I've never heard that before. He does it real quick in the breakdown. prob my fav tone. at 16:19
Gotta check out Harper-Falling!!! A ten year old who appeared on America's Got Talent covering my Holly Roller! Also has been on stage with Spiritbox. This song features Chris Wiseman of Shadow of Intent!
if im not mistaken that last part and there is a part at the beginning will did a closed mouth guttural. I wouldve had no idea but when he did them in the charismatic voice video i recognized the sound. He doesnt have any annunciation like he has in his usual vocals. Normally you can hear some kind of mouth position change for words. But at those parts you dont hear that at all and it sounds way more trapped inside
Actually Mark, ... I was curious on what you though about the really high scream/whistleesque tone at 3:20. It immediately reminded of the scream Dani Filth (Cradle of Filth) is known for, that almost choral but super hauntedly tone. It was layered in with a deeper scream and all the instruments at the point in the song its Fucking Intense... I was wondering what your thoughts on it were. It's definitely something I've never heard Will Ramos do yet. I was majorly impressed by this tune in comparison to the past few. Will is seriously growing and evolving as vocalist in such a quick yet interesting way. Honestly I believe a lot of the reason for that is his knowledge and respect for the art. And well also awesome guys like yourself out here making it a point to spread knowledge and correct ways of doing these types of vocal styles and how not to ruin your voice!. Mad respect brother! love your stuff man I have been a vocalist for a well over a decade involving screams and singing. Although Its been years since I've been in a band and all. I never stopped. I found Melissa Cross many-a years ago when she was the only one in the game. I have learned so much from watching your content Even in the past few months since i came across your channel. Keep it up dude Best, Scotty EXP
I think you missed out on the closed mouth shape. That was the second last vocal style, and he did it at least one more time in the middle of the song. I don’t believe it’s multiple tracks, since he can make the same sound live
About your point of people saying a song is "just fry" or "just false cord": Absolutely agree, that it's insanely reductionist. I can do the "The Grudge" noise. That's literally "just fry". The things going on in this song are insane and talking about "oh he uses this or that technique" is so belittling that.
How come we don't have any Big Chocolate vids? If you never hear of him check em out. He was the vocalist for Disfiguring the Goddess and others. Dude was ahead of his time with his lows and gutturals like 15 years ago
Great info and reaction, again! You should check a Finnish metal band called Wintersun and their song "Sons of Winter and Stars, live at sonic pump studios". The singer/guitarist Jari Mäenpää has only 1,4 lungs; he had tuberculosis and lost part of a lung in process. He sings many styles and I think in this song there are 5-6 different styles from clean to fry. And the song is also a good one. ;-)
oh I really hoped Mark would cover Will's gutturals at 16:18. to me it sounds like tunnely/nasaly low with a closed mouth. Similiar to the ones Dickie is doing (while closing his nostrils with his fingers). Well this is a good time to join your Discord :) Good content as always, Mark! ♥
So, to comment on the second to last tone of the breakdown, I've actually achieved that tone while screaming along to this song. Its kind of like an overtone. Whenever I attempt to take my scream lower than my lowest normal guttural, I get kind of this muted, grunting overtone that gives it that very strange dual tone sound. Its not something thats entirely intentional, all I do is a low false chord guttural, then try to force it lower. (I know "force" sounds bad, but theres no other way I can think of to describe it, don't force your larynx or constrict any harder, just try to make the sound lower and push a little more air with your diaphragm)
Gone are the days of Ben Duerr doing 5 or 6 different vocal styles in one breakdown (The Heretic Prevails). Now these poor deathcore vocalists gotta compete with Will doing 15 styles in 5 seconds
So I did enter the filename into google first, and would you look at that: first result IS the Lorna Shore website. I checked their shop though and did not find a field for any code. Also entering the code in the url did not provide any result other than 404 page not found. Great idea though, probably an opportunity missed! Thank you for the video and your detailed breakdown (pun intended) of the vocals!
I don’t claim to know much, but to me that weird second-to-last tone sounds like a low with a really tightly closed mouth, maybe only a few top front teeth showing, and he’s placing the resonance hypernasally; the distortion sounds like he’d either be feeling it right above his top front teeth, or right in his nostrils.
When it comes to great Vocalist in Metal, there is a suggestion for your great channel. Its my first ever comment on youtube and its for a reason. You are interestet in unique voices and great musical perfomances, aren`t you? Well...there is a band called Hamferð, which is from the Føroyar Island. They are a Metal-Band. Some say its Doom Metal what they are creating. But foremost its really great music with outstanding vocals by Jón Aldará (both growling and singing). You will be suprised...and so will be your community here on TH-cam. Espacially the live perfomances are worth a listen. The Song "Evst" is good song to start the Hamferð experience (the Live-Version from "Slay at home' during the Lockdown is fomidable. There is also an shorter unplugged Version of this Song online, which is huntingly beautiful). It would be great, if you give this band a try so that they get a little bit more attention in this world full of great music. Maybe there are some Hamferð fans out there, who can give my wish some support. Thank you very much for your great work.

It’s like Blasphemian pt 2 but a little less heavy imo
@@2174863 yeah def some Blasphemian in this

That second to last tone that you said sounded weird is actually Will doing a closed mouth. If you watch his one take vocal play through he is doing clothed mouths at that part. It's insane.
That second to last tone that he does sounds like he's closing his mouth and forcing all the sound out of his nose. Never heard another vocalist do that before!
18:10 him having played and used that kind of restriction propably abels him to do what we saw on the cam
that weird tone is from placing the distortion in the nasal cavity just like how dickie does what he calls gravel vocals

Dude love kardashevs new album! Glass Phantoms, Lavender Calligraphy and Compost Grave-song especially
Thanks so much dude, glad you dig it!
There is no such thing as too heavy
My ex 😉
Agreed.
@@BirdOfHermes83 lmfao
Too heavy sound just can't be heard by human ear)
Facts
Last guturals sounds like Dickie Allen showed you the technique with closing nose and make resonance with it. He said it sounds like moving stones or stone gates )
First I saw the clip, I thought just an unstoppable youtube advertisement. But yeah, I'm very proud, that the clip made in Budapest, by a very talented Hungarian Director.
That's cool!
the biggest take away from the breakdown Is during his Camera down the throat he used a technique where he does a low scream and its super nasally and I thought, that's sick, I've never heard that before. He does it real quick in the breakdown. prob my fav tone. at 16:19
For sure hes got some air coming straight out of his nose during those last gutturals. That was sick nasty. Love it.
Hell yeah!
It's fun how much you can do a 3h video on this one, it's like every syllable can be explain. Maybe a 120 000 sub special video ?
Gotta check out Harper-Falling!!! A ten year old who appeared on America's Got Talent covering my Holly Roller! Also has been on stage with Spiritbox. This song features Chris Wiseman of Shadow of Intent!
“I’m pretty sure this is THE part.”
Lol no
They sure learned me!
my guy! i see your channels been expanding and its so cool to see you do more of these videos! hoping to see more in depth stuff from you!!
Excellent as always, Mark. Appreciate all the info. This has been extremely helpful.
Glad I could help!
Nice placement of the album behind you 👌
Hopefully it will stay online now 😁
It will!
@@KardavoxAcademy 😄😄
if im not mistaken that last part and there is a part at the beginning will did a closed mouth guttural. I wouldve had no idea but when he did them in the charismatic voice video i recognized the sound. He doesnt have any annunciation like he has in his usual vocals. Normally you can hear some kind of mouth position change for words. But at those parts you dont hear that at all and it sounds way more trapped inside
The second to last tone was definitely multiple vocal tracks, but that was a closed mouth scream. That’s why it sounded so strange.
gotta get will on the channel!!! go over a song together
Watching you on my Kindle juxtaposed with tiny rescue kittens on my computer - Nah, not too heavy at all 😋😂
That IA goblin voice tho
never too much Lorna Shore!
Actually Mark, ...
I was curious on what you though about the really high scream/whistleesque tone at 3:20. It immediately reminded of the scream Dani Filth (Cradle of Filth) is known for, that almost choral but super hauntedly tone. It was layered in with a deeper scream and all the instruments at the point in the song its Fucking Intense... I was wondering what your thoughts on it were. It's definitely something I've never heard Will Ramos do yet. I was majorly impressed by this tune in comparison to the past few. Will is seriously growing and evolving as vocalist in such a quick yet interesting way.
Honestly I believe a lot of the reason for that is his knowledge and respect for the art. And well also awesome guys like yourself out here making it a point to spread knowledge and correct ways of doing these types of vocal styles and how not to ruin your voice!.
Mad respect brother!
love your stuff man I have been a vocalist for a well over a decade involving screams and singing. Although Its been years since I've been in a band and all. I never stopped. I found Melissa Cross many-a years ago when she was the only one in the game. I have learned so much from watching your content Even in the past few months since i came across your channel. Keep it up dude
Best,
Scotty EXP
Would love to see your opinion of Dan Watsons solo project Mire Lore, it’s absolutely amazing.
Also we need a Worm Shepard Blood Kingdom breakdown
Mire Lore & Worm Shepherd absolutely slap
Dan actually came and hung out in our Discord and showed off Mire Lore to the community right at the beginning - it's super cool! Love his cleans!
@@KardavoxAcademy I’m jealous lol, that’s super sweet. Then I guess we’ll just have to do Blood Kingdom by Worm Shepard 🤷
I think you missed out on the closed mouth shape. That was the second last vocal style, and he did it at least one more time in the middle of the song. I don’t believe it’s multiple tracks, since he can make the same sound live
'Ok, this video, where do i start? ... woof' i feel that.
Yeah, there was a lot to talk about, not enough time to talk about everything!
About your point of people saying a song is "just fry" or "just false cord": Absolutely agree, that it's insanely reductionist. I can do the "The Grudge" noise. That's literally "just fry". The things going on in this song are insane and talking about "oh he uses this or that technique" is so belittling that.
True!
How come we don't have any Big Chocolate vids?
If you never hear of him check em out. He was the vocalist for Disfiguring the Goddess and others.
Dude was ahead of his time with his lows and gutturals like 15 years ago
"alright everybody, shut up" - Mark
Important quote.
Great info and reaction, again! You should check a Finnish metal band called Wintersun and their song "Sons of Winter and Stars, live at sonic pump studios". The singer/guitarist Jari Mäenpää has only 1,4 lungs; he had tuberculosis and lost part of a lung in process. He sings many styles and I think in this song there are 5-6 different styles from clean to fry. And the song is also a good one. ;-)
Hopefully this one doesn’t get blocked
It did not!
Mark getting perplexed 😅 Lorna are just great
This gave me big Fleshgod Apocalypse vibes.
Your face at 26:00 had me bust out laughing 😆😆🤘!
The Almanac is in my top 3 deathcore albums of all time, Liminal rite was fantastic though
Vocal breakdown aside I say woof like that ALL THE TIME (5:17) and no one else gets it 😂
Us woofers gotta stick together man!
@@KardavoxAcademy hell to the yeah brother 🤘🏻🐺
oh I really hoped Mark would cover Will's gutturals at 16:18.
to me it sounds like tunnely/nasaly low with a closed mouth. Similiar to the ones Dickie is doing (while closing his nostrils with his fingers). Well this is a good time to join your Discord :)
Good content as always, Mark! ♥
Thanks for the kind words - glad you dug it! Yoooo, come and say hi!
Great guitar work, great drum work, great symphonic composition...you kinda missed those but hey...vocal coach so...
Nice shelf!! When can we see the MTG deck you’re currently playing haha
For real!
You and the charismatic voice should do a collab vid where yall look over some of the most discusting vocal sounds in deathcore
So, to comment on the second to last tone of the breakdown, I've actually achieved that tone while screaming along to this song. Its kind of like an overtone. Whenever I attempt to take my scream lower than my lowest normal guttural, I get kind of this muted, grunting overtone that gives it that very strange dual tone sound. Its not something thats entirely intentional, all I do is a low false chord guttural, then try to force it lower. (I know "force" sounds bad, but theres no other way I can think of to describe it, don't force your larynx or constrict any harder, just try to make the sound lower and push a little more air with your diaphragm)
second to last tone you mentioned he also does a low with his mouth closed
Is that D&D I see in the background? 🧐 😃
Well spotted!
Gone are the days of Ben Duerr doing 5 or 6 different vocal styles in one breakdown (The Heretic Prevails). Now these poor deathcore vocalists gotta compete with Will doing 15 styles in 5 seconds
Hey Ben is still pretty godly in his own right
I would rather have Ben Duerr's powerful low than Will Ramo's try hard noises.
As a British person hearing you say shite made my day
Haha, my business partner is British - I guess he's rubbing off on me!
End of the world core!
I see "Shirts" in that code........
So I did enter the filename into google first, and would you look at that: first result IS the Lorna Shore website. I checked their shop though and did not find a field for any code. Also entering the code in the url did not provide any result other than 404 page not found.
Great idea though, probably an opportunity missed!
Thank you for the video and your detailed breakdown (pun intended) of the vocals!
I know im late but im pretty sure the tone at 26:51 is a closed mouth scream thats coming out of his nose pretty much
I don’t claim to know much, but to me that weird second-to-last tone sounds like a low with a really tightly closed mouth, maybe only a few top front teeth showing, and he’s placing the resonance hypernasally; the distortion sounds like he’d either be feeling it right above his top front teeth, or right in his nostrils.
New album is a BAMF, my man!
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Dragged through the hellfire next? CJs new band.
Unfortunately it won’t happen, people don’t want anything to do with his controversies

When it comes to great Vocalist in Metal, there is a suggestion for your great channel. Its my first ever comment on youtube and its for a reason. You are interestet in unique voices and great musical perfomances, aren`t you? Well...there is a band called Hamferð, which is from the Føroyar Island. They are a Metal-Band. Some say its Doom Metal what they are creating. But foremost its really great music with outstanding vocals by Jón Aldará (both growling and singing). You will be suprised...and so will be your community here on TH-cam. Espacially the live perfomances are worth a listen. The Song "Evst" is good song to start the Hamferð experience (the Live-Version from "Slay at home' during the Lockdown is fomidable. There is also an shorter unplugged Version of this Song online, which is huntingly beautiful). It would be great, if you give this band a try so that they get a little bit more attention in this world full of great music. Maybe there are some Hamferð fans out there, who can give my wish some support. Thank you very much for your great work.
