Seems strange Joel singing this when song was about James coming back. He seems a lot better clean singer on the new song video. Just shows what can be done in the studio
Considering this is first time clean singing I don’t think he sounds any worse then the other vocalists sounded live when they had already been doing it for years
@@heffywheeler5774 I think the same, he is not the best clean singer, but he is not below the previous ones, live the clean voices never sounded good in OAA
@@Agup666 he was still learning these songs like a week before they went, they didn’t even do a proper practice, and this is also the 4th show so I think considering he’s on par with the others already I think it’s safe to say by the time they come round again he would of perfected it, but personally still really enjoyed the show and think he killed it
@@BuddzBunnyHDI’ve seen them live 4 times. Twice with James and Twice with Jake. All 4 times rank in the top 15 of the 200 or so shows I’ve been to. Absolutely blow this guy out of the water. This is worse than that period of Asking Alexandria in 2014 where Danny had just absolutely given up on them.
Absolutely brutal. Jake had some of the worst live clean vocals I’ve ever heard, and this guy isn’t much better. You can literally hear the vocal processing in his cleans on the new single. Lol
Personally, I think they should ditch a lot of the melodic songs on the setlist and play the heavier ones to accommodate for his low vocals because obviously cleans are not his strong suit.
@@heffywheeler5774If you only realized how shitty these people are behind the scenes you wouldn’t be supporting this lol. Not to mention they picked another weak vocalist. OAA has always been a good instrumental band but their vocals have lacked since their founding.
He needs some vocal coaching, he sounds so monotonous with the same pitch screaming. His high scream isn't great at all and the cleans lack tone. You can hear the amount of editing on the chorus of the latest single. He has decent presence, but that singing is not good. He has potential though. James' vocals were far superior.
he is in the process of learning high-pitched screams, so far he sounds like a pterodactyl, but at new concerts he is trying more and more mid and high
I do like the new vocalist, but I was definitely disappointed by his highs in this performance. @1:38 the chopped highs is literally one of the parts that makes this song for me. And he just didn't even try. Lows are really good for sure, but you need a vocalist that can do good highs if you wanna play any OAA songs.
@0:54 he gets a really good high in, so he is definitely capable but I'd love to see him work on the highs more considering how good his lows already are
OAA are in a circle 😂. They get a vocalist that can do cleans and screaming, he leaves, and they take a vocalist that can do only screaming (optional) and can barely sing live 😂
@@heffywheeler5774 lol read the room. Everyone feels the same besides the people who dickride the band so hard they can’t even see the fact the new vocalist sucks and can only hit deep screams. If that’s your cup of tea I’m happy for you. James was way more versatile and that’s just a fact.
The new lead vocals is a beast and also has good cleans, but I can say that his voice doesn't fit to sing metamorph or any other previous OAA songs and apparently he does fit to become a great deathcore vocals instead, imo.
I have the same opinion, the best album from them is Hikari and the best vocalist no are the original singer, is Jake Noakes forever, he change the vibe from OAA, and putting the japanese instrumental, Hikari is a masterpiece (Sorry for my english, i'm Brazilian and i agree with you)
they need to do away with the melodies and get more brutal. all of their singers weren't great singers to begin with but they had amazing lows and growls like a demon
James' singing sucks too. Jakes used to be a very good singer but he couldn't even be heard live. This man had never sung in front of a crowd and honestly he sounds good, had a solid voice.
Don’t speak unless you actually know what you’re talking about. Do a little research and you’d know that he’s the most versatile vocalist they’ve had so far.
@@brenthernandez6203 I also know what I’m talking about especially as a vocalist. You don’t know what you’re talking about. New single showcased false chord mids, false chord lows, gutterals, fry mids, cleans, and pitched screams/ pitch screamed cleans. Normal fry screams too. He can also do highs, he’s just not used to it and hasn’t played songs like this live before nor has he ever clean singed live. They barely had practice either for this.
@@brenthernandez6203 also, go look up his band “Spitting Teeth”. Listen to the track Live Execution and go to 2:00 mark and listen all the way to the end. He’s got a beautiful high at the end with some evil ass twang at the last note.
@@AirRedbox Releasing a song simply to showcase what you can do in the studio doesn't really say much. like... I'm a Vocalist myself with covers, and live vocal demonstrations on my channel and some originals posted on other platforms. I can make Crazy showcases doing whistle notes and screams, low deep gutteral toilet bowl noises, powerful mid screams... pig squeals, insane yelly screams. high fry screams, goblin noises, clean singing, grit singing. but it means nothing if I can't get comfortable enough to naturally flow between the styles live. so yeah... they made a new song with him showing great sounding vocals... but he's not even bothering to showcase them off at all. maybe in time he'll get more comfortable and start doing more with his voice but it's still a big disappointment...
Do you have hansha recorded?
No, but I do have New Dawn and some more videos from the other bands on the way this afternoon.
New Dawn is now up here: th-cam.com/video/_9zbPEpYL3o/w-d-xo.html
Extra Sentinels and Currents are also now on the channel.
I just uploaded a short of him singing it
It's more like I'm listening to a deathcore band who are covering Metamorph
I miss the old OAA 😢❤️
Well, he can't sing either so
he sounds like he'd be great in a deathcore band instead imo lol
It's funny you say that lol
Check out Silent Screams & Spitting Teeth
He was, that's why he trys to have a tough persona@@Roderica_Gig_Clips
@@Watashi_wa_robottodesunah he’s just tough in general

Yall, this is just first time ever singing cleans live. Give him some leeway, he’s got some nice notes though
It safe to say we are here for Chris turner only. The dude is a machine
True, the guitarist and bass player are the same 2 from Chris' solo stuff and both are really great writers.
New vocalist is like 95% low vocals 🤣
Gonna miss the genuine cleans that James hit so randomly
James was waaaaaaaaaay better.@@matthewmchugh2573
@@stevedipp86 James live was not very good...
At least he can do highs@@BuddzBunnyHD

Hey let's get another singer who can't sing the cleans live to save his live
He’s never done any singing before these shows, not even a proper practice and is still no worse then the dudes who did it years only gonna get better

@@dylanbrown4039 wah wah wah
He can't fry either...
I’ve always thought they should go the two vocalists route
oceans ate alaska find a lead singer who can do good cleans live challenge failed again smh. still miss jake tho
ah I prefer james at all cost, his power is a monster

James' vocals were far superior.
He used to have some good highs too but he’s completely lost his range over the years
definitely the strangest vocalist change ive seen in metalcore
If only Andy Cizek was the OAA vocalist and not the monuments one 😔👌
cleans are good, but he is just doing lows.... no mids.... high was okay-ish... no yells at all. where are the dynamics? coulda hired me guys.
he is in the process of learning high-pitched screams, so far he sounds like a pterodactyl, but at new concerts he is trying more and more mid and high
HAHAHA I KNEW IT
He was not able to sing with Silent screams in 2014, same habit here
This is sick dude, thanks for posted it here
Joel is such a good frontman... Gutted I can't see them in Manchester
saw thumbnail i thought cj is on vocal lol wat happened to the previous singer? he leave again?!
Yeah, he wrote a VERY extensive post on his Instagram account last week just before the new single was released.
New member is a fucking beast 💪
Joel's old band Silent Screams deserves some love. The last single they put out in 2017 was insane
@@JohnDoe-mv2be"Low" was such a fucking banger, sad that they barely played it live though...

I thought the drummer was standing up 😂
Thanks
Jake and James>>>>>>
I only hear deep screams. And he mumbles the high parts. Clean vocals were awful. And the one time he did a high scream it sounded dog shit. I’m out.
Bye

@@rasangan97 so I literally did read the room babe
No need to announce your departure, lil bro, you won't be missed.
Jake is the best!
Joel's doing a better job than Jake and James lol, I'm surprised but I still miss Silent Screams 😭

Jake Noakes was the best vocalist by far. Hikari is their magnum opus

Amazing they were so so so good
I was here. Terrible cleans, sad to see it! Can't fault him on his lows though, just seems like the wrong band for the guy
Nice
Is that even the same vocalist as the original song?😂
No, New.
fuck yeah beast mode
He can't do shit live. He wasn't a good pick as a vocalist
bro... :(
Oh boiiiii, it seems that the band its about to got what they deserve for such a toxic trate
Some bands just don't need a vocalist
The Vocalists voice doesn't fit this bands style. He'd fit better in a Deathcore band.
He seems not to good at high scream
I know I'm an old man but my vocals live despite being death core destroy him. Keep peddling young buck.😂
Go and do it instead then

So they will be another default deathcore band yeah
OAA just needs to quit at this point.
Bring back old OA
James' singing sucks too. Jakes used to be a very good singer but he couldn't even be heard live.

He's good at the LOWs but can't hit the HIGHS. that sucks.

Sounds like deathcore, not like OAA
Atleast hes better than jake
no
Lo siento pero sin James no es lo mismo mejor que siga creando sus propias canciónes para sacar un album propio a su estilo
Sorry but just change the band name and start fresh.
they killed the band
Lorna ate alaska hahhaha cj mcreery bro active in OAA cleaning poor cleans make the band deathcore and problem solved
