@@PeterBarber You might (just might 😅) be ready for Hurrikan. 😊😇 Also check out the Pump It Velvet version.

You really can't go wrong with any of them tbh. If you want to see another side of them try Parasite. Tekkno Train is one of my faves though. I now am officially retired from mosh pits, ended it with these guys. 30 years of just getting smashed in the pit & I was 25 years older than the people around me but it was still the best. Oh yeah Nico is getting into doing the harsh vocals too so they're able to support each other. Deffo check out a live video of we got the moves or something. And yes the plate guitar actually works!
Nico does the clean vocals on recordings but on tour, he does both. In fact, when Kevin’s son was born, he left the tour to be with his family. For those shows where he was gone, Nico did both vocals, switching back and forth for most of the set.
I remember an interview where they mentioned that Nico and Kevin sing clean and harsh together. Just that in clean Nico is prominent and in harsh Kevin is the lead voice
The real fun fact is: with this song they applied to the European Song Contest (ESC). But the German ESC board rejected the application because it was not radio friendly enough. One of the dumbest decision ever, and they are not lacking on dumb decisions.
@@richardgoddard37 Lord of the Lost was in 2023. EC applied in 2022. Although I did not liked the song of the LotL, because it was a very generic song with a lot of repetition, it was a glimmer of hope, that something had changed. But it turned out, that was only a exception.
The plate as a guitar is an actual working guitar they've had made just for this, it's shown in the behind the scenes video. it's not actually heavy of course but it looks good.
I really recommend their making of videos, it really shows the fun they have while making it. Actually the guitar is a working guitar. They let them specifically made for them :) I really like this song for their upbeat and funny video.
They are capable of death metal and death core, and a lot of other things. I like that they're flexible and can make all sorts of music, lol. Like, "F*kBoy" is pretty pop-punk, and Hurrikan... well... I love these guys. They are really true to themselves, lol.
I'm sure you've seen them by now, but if you haven't, they made a Pump It Vlog #1 and #2 that are like a "bridge" between We Got the Moves and Pump It; they're quite fun! The well-muscled man in the yellow tank top lifting dumbbells is featured at the end of We Got the Moves. The smaller, platinum-blond guy lifting dumbbells is a multi-medaled paralympian, and both these guys are featured in those vlogs. Also, when this band was formed in 2010, they basically were a deathcore band. They've added other styles and the humor over time; their style seems to have been inevitable.
Makes me happy to see you having fun 😅. Watching an EC Video makes every day better even when it started off sh... not so funny. I could watch their stuff and the reactions to it for hours and never get bored.🤘🤗
Yes! Love that one! ❤ Did you spot the seemingly exhausting db shoulder press somewhere in the middle, where you only see the muscles on the back? And when you look closer its just 2kg Dumbbells or something. 😂 And the end is just the best! ❤ Please watch Pump It - The Velvet Version as well! (I like to call it the SPA version) So beautiful 🥰
I absolutely love when you do Electric Callboy analyses! Both Kevin and Nico (yes, Nico does harsh vocals as well) have quite impressive English pronunciation in their harsh vocals, especially given that English isn't their first language. I've always noticed that about Kevin. He doesn't stretch and manipulate the vowels like a lot of harsh vocalists do. Despite that, he can do some pretty awesome growly things. I think you would have a blast with "Hurrikan" from them. Tank the Tech has said that Kevin also has impressive projection and volume in his harsh vocals. I would love to see if Elizabeth's upcoming research sheds any light on the projection aspect. How do guys like Kevin and Alex from STP have such loud harsh vocals?
The break down at the end of the second verse is a pretty common metalcore feel. Not quite as heavy as death core like you were saying, but you got it.
Electric Callboy are the most entertaining & joyful band in the world right now, Germans have not put out a bad song in last 3 years and live shows just a massive rave of metal & EDM riffs!! 😆🤘
Peter has the interesting perspective of knowing deathcore before metalcore, so him comparing EC to deathcore is funny since usually people are introduced to metalcore before getting heavier to deathcore 😂
Given your knowledge of edm, music video production (from tbg) everytime we touch double feature with the behind the scenes making of would be great to watch
Here's the progression to the music genre Electronicore: Hardcore Punk × Extreme Metal (in broad terms) = Metalcore (Metallic Core). Electronic × Metalcore = Electronicore. Also, Death Metal × Metalcore = Deathcore. For the most part, any genre with "core" in the title is a sub-genre originating from Hardcore Punk. Those "jagged/chuggy" parts in the song where everyone in the band stops playing and comes back with big heavy notes is called a breakdown. Stopping altogether isn't required for a breakdown. Even reducing the tempo to half speed or slower can fall under the term. Breakdowns are absolutely a big part of Deathcore because currently the genre contains them more than any other. The original breakdown actually emerged in electronic music from producer Tom Moulton in the 70's with the "disco break" as a way to remix songs. As an avid metal listener who switched over to dubstep many years ago, I always appreciate your insight to the electronic synths and effects used in songs.
Since you regocnize the MetalCore parts so well (and say it's clearly not pure DeathCore) - how about you make a reaction/analysis to HURRIKAN. That'd be fun (but tbh, everything from EC is fun!). Sadly it's not even 2min (the video is a bit longer than the acutal song). (And maybe look for some translated lyrics before you do that, the first part is German...)
my impression of electric callboy's synth parts is that they're mostly based on european edm from the late 90s/early 00s. i can see the 80s connection in this song but not really the others
I was going to recommend reacting to The Bass Gang's cover of Vahalla Calling me, but I was watching it and was like....wait...WAIT THAT'S PETER!!! lol. love hearing your vocals
Honestly just for a change of pace and to articulate their range a bit more, absolutely need to check out Mindreader. Think you'll enjoy it a lot, honestly one of my favorite songs by them.
I'd suggest you check out some of the original Harcore/metalcore bands/music since that's where the "core" comes from and the core genres tend to make more sense after you have listened to some At The Gates or Have Heart
Well I'm thinking right about now Olivia Newton-John will never be able to hold a candle to these fellas 😜 I have to hand it to you this was pretty unique. I'm going to send this off to my nephew who likes this kind of stuff and I will see what he thinks of it.
Just look at my "glutes' ("gluteus maximus") you should know which muscle that is, especially as he continues "what a perfect butt". "I push myself and I push you TOO". Anyway thanks I enjoyed your analysis. Hoping for Tekkno Train, Spacemam, Hurrikan, Everytime we touch and Ratatata
Great Analysis liked it a lot i have a recommendation for a analysis: Ayreon - And the Druids turn to stone (Ayreon Universe) you will thank me later ;)
EC abusing the filter sweep! Not so much on this song but they do take influence from German industrial which was a highly entertaining genre back in the 90s....
The genre you're looking for is called "Party Core". A similar band is We Butter The Bread With Butter (short: WBTBWB) - 20km/h (the video is made in the same studio from the Schillo brothers - one of them is the guitarist in Electric Callboy)
SOOO MUCH FUN! What else from Electric Callboy do I need to check out?
@@PeterBarber You might (just might 😅) be ready for Hurrikan. 😊😇

Peter .. I think you would have a lot to analyze with Electric Callboy’s cover of “Everytime We Touch”!
YES! Peter will get it!
Seconded!
Followed by the making of as he knows about video production enough from making them with bass gang
For shure!
I’m pretty excited to see this… The video is hilarious. It’s the drummer on the treadmill that kills me every time. And the song is fire.
You have proven that you are absolutely UNIQUELY qualified to analyse this song! That was supremely funny and instructive.
Nico does the clean vocals on recordings but on tour, he does both. In fact, when Kevin’s son was born, he left the tour to be with his family. For those shows where he was gone, Nico did both vocals, switching back and forth for most of the set.

I felt sorry for Lord of the Lost. They're a great band normally, but the song choice sucked.

Oh yes. Imagine the ESC audience going all kinds of wild to Electric Callboy.
"we got the moves" and "ratatata" feat. babymetal are my personal faves other than pump it ^^ of course their cover of everytime we touch is iconic
Ok who wants to open a Zumba class with Electronic-core music?! 🎶 Let's goooo!!

😂 they did their thing!
Made you smile!
Mission accomplished!
❤❤❤
"Look at my glutes, what a perfect butt", the lyrics for their songs are always in the video description.
I’ve been waiting for this one!!
same here

They have a accoustic version of this song that is incredible. Maybe interesting for you to have a look at.
Perfect song for you to analyze! Thanks for sharing your insights and fun with us :)
The break down at the end of the second verse is a pretty common metalcore feel. Not quite as heavy as death core like you were saying, but you got it.
That plate guitar is a special guitar for heavy music
Btw there is also a Pump it Remix - Sadly not many have reacted to it. > Electric Callboy - PUMP IT Velvet Remix
I think Kevin is doing much of the synth arrangement in the band, which make their style unique.
Deathcore varies a lot. You could easily call EC a deathcore band. They just add the pop/electronic that most deathcore bands don't
Electric Callboy are the most entertaining & joyful band in the world right now, Germans have not put out a bad song in last 3 years and live shows just a massive rave of metal & EDM riffs!! 😆🤘
Electric Callboy is the best version of German Partycore!

Thanks for this! So funny- love the drummer. They just need a cameo of Jane Fond😂.
I was going to recommend reacting to The Bass Gang's cover of Vahalla Calling me, but I was watching it and was like....wait...WAIT THAT'S PETER!!! lol. love hearing your vocals
Hahahah that’s wild 🤘🏼thank you!
19:53 Must be Anatoly pranking... 🤣
Also there is a more laid-back all clean vocal version off the song.

As usual for Electric Callboy videos the lyrics are in the video description.
Funny!😂 Next a Vocal Performance by Alex Terrible - Demonlisher!!👊💪😳❤️🔥 so much Power, madness...😁💋
The "break" is called a breakdown.

Never knew you were a personal trainer for 4 years before devoting yourself to music. That's so cool! If you see this, what certs did you get? NASM?
Great R&A, as always!
You should check out "Hurrikan".
I'd suggest you check out some of the original Harcore/metalcore bands/music since that's where the "core" comes from and the core genres tend to make more sense after you have listened to some At The Gates or Have Heart
Now that's some majestic armpit hair lol 😂
its hardcore breakdowns from hardcore punk. death metal didnt have those but deathcore added the hardcore punk breakdowns to death metal
Well I'm thinking right about now Olivia Newton-John will never be able to hold a candle to these fellas 😜 I have to hand it to you this was pretty unique. I'm going to send this off to my nephew who likes this kind of stuff and I will see what he thinks of it.
Also Please react to SPACEMAN from Electric Callboy next!!
"fake" 45s!? You underestimate the power of a German metalcore band. He already told you, just look at his gunns
Just look at my "glutes' ("gluteus maximus") you should know which muscle that is, especially as he continues "what a perfect butt".
"I push myself and I push you TOO".
Anyway thanks I enjoyed your analysis. Hoping for Tekkno Train, Spacemam, Hurrikan, Everytime we touch and Ratatata
Great Analysis liked it a lot
i have a recommendation for a analysis: Ayreon - And the Druids turn to stone (Ayreon Universe)
you will thank me later ;)
🤝👍👏👏👏
EC abusing the filter sweep!
Not so much on this song but they do take influence from German industrial which was a highly entertaining genre back in the 90s....
Gymcore 🤣🤣
nah buddy, EC is pure PartyCore 😁
Please listen to Aesthetic Perfection!!
Interesting….
Are guns like that legal where you live?
well they aren't exactly concealed...
The genre you're looking for is called "Party Core". A similar band is We Butter The Bread With Butter (short: WBTBWB) - 20km/h (the video is made in the same studio from the Schillo brothers - one of them is the guitarist in Electric Callboy)
or "I wrestled a bear once".
