"We haven't had any screaming yet... here it comes" LMAO you got it dead on and your reaction was perfect hahaha
And that transition between screaming and singing is damn near flawless live czcams.com/video/_xkt6_1j7_s/video.html
Y'all our boy is straight VIBIN' while this dude with knives in his back is getting danced with around some squirming bodies, I cannot. LOL
26:56 Yeah XD
Courtney did a one take live performance of Rule of Nines, there you can see how well she transitions between harsh and clean vox
there is one singer that grips me everytime, Michael Lessard from The Contortionist. His style is unmatched in my opinion, always brings a smile on my face and goosebumps on my whole body. It feels like he speaks to my soul, plus the whole instrumentals just lift me into wholesomeness
No
Leprous is like that for me too. So many good vocalists in metal these days.
Same, ever since Exoplanet they've been my favourite band, and the switch to Mike just made them hit an 11. Language and Clairvoyant are fucking incredible.
Yes yes yes. Them live is a gift to the world
yes he is great
Mark feeling it and dancing like Courtney in the music video for "Belcarra"= best part of the video
I think this is their best song to date and has that concentrated "spiritbox" sound and feel.
One singer that puts their own flair to their singing is Daniel Tompkins from Tesseract/White Moth Black Butterfly
When he asked I was like "I'll be sure to mention Daniel from TesseracT once i finish the video".
Seems I was beaten to it, but I completely agree.
Yep, I was gonna mention him as well. I love his work with White Moth Black Butterfly, their album Atone is a masterpiece.
same thing with the previous Tesseract vocalist, now vocalist for Voices From The Fuselage Ashe O'Hara
Agreed, dan is mind-blowingly talented. I also was shocked how not only him but his band mates sounded so perfect and crisp live. Never heard a band or vocalist sound so flawless.
Yep, I was going to say the same. I've seen TesseracT live a lot. They never disappoint.
Sam Carter from architects I’m gonna say
Yes.
i've been asking for him a long time ago hahahah
The GOAT.
YES
Sam Carter is an A+ too ahahaha
Courtney is just amazing and spiritbox is really the next big thing in metal, seriously talented band. I really have to recommend Architects // Hereafter (Live Arte Concert), Sam Carter is an absolute animal.
How about comrades? There's another husband and his wife in that group.
Sleep Token kinda crept in there.
I'm so happy you reacted to this song! As for vocalists who add their own twist to singing, I'll definitely point out Rory Rodriguez from Dayseeker.
Gibran Irizaga The way Rory sings, “Feel the sun’s burning light when you start to rise” in the chorus of Sleep in the Sea pt.II gets me every time 🔥
Rory is a masterpiece of a vocalist I swear to God
Rory is so talented it's unreal
I love Spiritbox and everything about them, how they compose, phrase and produce their stuff - everything sounds perfect, it's incredible! And I loved your super detailed breakdown every single detail. You're showing so much appreciation for these little things which so many other people aren't even able to hear and that's what I really like! Since I heard the first song of them I just got obsessed, because of all these little details they put in their songs (not only vocally of course). This is what makes them unique and listening to Spiritbox never gets boring. Thank you for this video!
Agreed, they're so good! Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Fun Fact: My coworker at the University of Saskatchewan lives in the old house that Courtney and her video team rented to FILM THIS!! BLEW MY MIND! PS watching you react gets my endorphins flowing too! :)))
Woah thats awesome! And I'm glad you like the video!
Ooooo I like this house.
That’s awesome. Also cool to see a fellow Saskatchewanian here. :-)
Man this guy needs a larger sub count. His musical knowledge and his ability to explain everything is spot on.
Oh man, speaking of nuances. Check out a band called Sleep Token. Unlike anything I have ever heard before.
Verified satanists. They worship the spirits of the Ars Goetia. Read Enoch. But yeah, satan's music really sounds the best.
p.s. your name is ironic to my statement.
@@avdiyEl beginner here. need more insights. sounds cool to what you have said though hehe
Hell yeah, check out sleep token! 🙌
@@avdiyEl They aren't satanists you moron. Now everything falls within your christian frame.
One of the best bands atm
Was invested in this reaction and breakdown, but you completely won me over when you gave examples of vocal scream. I haven't seen anyone else do that. You are the winner, sir
Glad to hear it! It's important for the coach to be able to do it as well, so when I teach students I actually know how it's supposed to feel! :)
The dude from Kardashev grips me pretty gosh darny hard!
"Come now wind, take me to the planet's edge!"
aaaayyyyy thanks fam :P
I love Courtneys vocals, I'm a fan from IWABO. As for these days, I am really big into Jinjer. For me Tatiana's vocals are both pure Heaven and pure Hell. \m/. I suggest that you react to Jinjer Perennial (live at Wacken 2019). There is one part where, I believe, she switches from growl to her singing voice in the same breath, just a stellar performance.
i love how jinjer and spritbox BOTH have a song called Perennial haha thought that was neat
Vocal jinjer is Ordinary, completely outstanding.
Tilian from Dance Gavin Dance is an astounding vocalist with a *crazy* range :)
You know somehow I've gone my whole life without hearing Dance Gavin Dance but so many people are talking about that lately, it might be time to catch myself up!
Kardavox Academy Their most recent releases with Prisoner and Strawberry’s Wake is a really good place to start. Jon Mess also shouldn’t be overlooked as he’s one of the best screamers in their genre 👌🏼👌🏼
Kardavox Academy You have to do DGD. it’s like a rite of way
OMG, the details you described in her singing made me like even more the song. Now im not just listening, i am appreciating the music. Thank you
She just has such a classy way of carrying her notes. You can tell she takes alot of vintage styles of singing etc and modernizes it using her own killer style
Spencer Sotello of Periphery is one of my fav vocalists of all time, alongside Courtney LaPlante and Daniel Tompkins :)
Watching you react to a band you undeniably love is a beautiful thing!
Just discovered spiritbox and I'm obsessed. Found your video searching for them and subscribed! I dig your in-depth reviews. Please please review Tilian Pearson and DGD. They're my favorite band and Tilian's voice is amazing. So much range!
Absolutely love how much emotion Mark puts into his analysis of these songs. Besides being very thorough and the way he dissects the vocals, the way he reacts and get excited makes the songs that much more enjoyable.
Singers who go above and beyond: Dicky Allen when he burps at the start of Feast ov Goreglutton.
Honorable mention: Paedophilic Legacy
Prepare for the feast.
Courtney is awesome. In fact the whole band is. Also that's quite the nice singing voice on you. Very operatic!
I appreciate vocalist so much more now because of this channel. I also get more enjoyment knowing what's going into the music
Side note. When the screaming kicked in I was pleasantly surprised.
When it finally comes out this friday, I would absolutely LOVE it if you did a video on Make them Suffer's new track "Erase Me". Their lead vocalist, Sean, has some of the most gorgeous, expressive screams of any metal or hardcore vocalist I've ever listened to.
When I first heard this song, I was blown away. I’m not a musical expert by any means but this was just so amazing. Her vocals the instrumentals and the breakdown. It just flows so well and is beautiful
There's no denying Courtney's talents at this point, she's awesome!
Courtney's husband Mike, who is also the guitarist writes and programs all the intrumentals. He's a brilliant composer and guitarist.
Tyler Carter from Issues has always been a favorite for me. His voice is so different than anything in the genre and he has an incredible range.
Fairly new to Spiritbox,
and happily drowning myself in their musicianship. Regarding vocal nuances, the way Michael Kiske "cries" particular lines always gets me.
Welcome aboard - oh, that's a cool sound - I'll have to check more of that out!
Spiritbox is my new favorite band! Thank you so much Mark for introducing this band to me! Keep up the good work !
Thank you! Will do!
Tilian from dance gavin dance has a lot of great singing (clean vocals) that has little flares and tasty bits.
His song “Hold On” is pretty good.
@@spitz5183 theres so many songs hes had a part in that are great. Artificial skeletons and the happiness album are amazeballs.
Justin Smith happiness was Kurt Travis
@@TheBAMEYER13 you sure? I'm not positive but I could have sworn.
Justin Smith positive my dude baha
one of my favorite and most impactful songs vocally that i've found is the empty room sessions versions of both White Noise and My House by Pvris
I'll check those out!
The only one that finally notices the head voice. Thank God!
"If you've never heard spiritbox before you're gunna hear uh.." the best thing you'll ever hear
I found out about Spiritbox from your Constance video, and I have become just obsessed with this vocal performance. There are a million things that are just amazing. She's just got sooo many tones that are nearly perfect and she can tap into them seemingly at will from any other one. I can't wait for these folks to release an LP.
Courtney has so much control, love her vocals. As you mentioned she creates so much interests. There's so much to listen for
Also, the breathyness and tone remind me a lot of Selena Gomez in this track
Ive listened to this song so many damn times and I still get goosebumps everywhere. Been a huge fan since they announced Spiritbox and they have been absolutely perfect in their own element. Also agree to check out Tillian in DGD listen to We Own the Night!
14:02 I'm glad somebody feels exactly how I do when listening to Courtney sing. It's beyond beautiful...
The comparison between vocals and WOW, and D&D was perfect
I really love your enthusaism in this vid, her voice is quite something! One of my favorite vocalists is Arnór Dan Arnarson
from Agent Fresco. He has a lot of little flourishes in his vocals that I appreciate and his "oohs" are amazing.
Tillian from Dance Gavin Dance Telle Smith from The Word Alive Trenton Woodly from Hands like Houses and Bradley Walden from Emarosa all of these wonderful people are my favourite singers
Thank you so much for recommending Spiritbox to me. These guys blew me away, instant favorite band!
Periphery would be a dope reaction! I feel like you would really enjoy his range!!
As far as intelligence and the ability to express yourself, this guy is sharp.
I started at these reactions due to enjoying watching faces melt.
I like these understanding breakdowns better.
Glad you like them!
You should react to Courtney doing a vocal performance of their song The Beauty of Suffering, or their song Belcarra. Both are killer songs and shows her voice as it would be live.
Another singer which adds nuance in their performance is Tatiana from Jinjer. You could first listen to the studio official version of their song "Perennial" (Spiritbox also has a song by this name released around the same time, happenstance ) and then immediately after that watch the Wacken official live video of the same track. She actually enhances the song to a whole another level while performing live.
Einar Solberg from Leprous adds a lot of stank to live performances.
Hey mark. To answer your question, I usually do my screams with pure fry. Mainly because I feel more comfortable with my breath management while doing fries.
This is probably the best breakdown I've seen as a vocal layman. I play drums, so I have an understanding of time and song structure, but vocals are like vodoo to me lol. Great vid!
This is still my favorite reaction video you've ever done. The look on your face when she sings is priceless man. Love your channel. Long time viewer and still going! Keep up the good work buddy!
Thanks so much for the kind words, Galen. Really glad to have you around after so long!
I'm so glad I clicked on this video. Always enjoy your thorough analysis and man... this song is giving me extreme chills.
One of my favorite things great vocalists do is a perfectly placed key change or a minor pitch over a major chord of the guitars. That shit gives me goosebumps hard lmfao
Truth
Been loving you, Kardashev and your reactions homie!
Thanks Brett, you're the best!
My favourite singers, like Adam Gontier, Jonny Hetherington, and Gustav Wood, all seem to have unique voices, but the one that sticks out at the moment is JP Leppäluoto, from Finland. He's a baritone, and he can go from soft, gentle low notes to full-power at the high end of his range, or similarly from low distorted notes to high-end cleans, in the space of one second. His tone is also unlike any other singer I've heard.
I also love her vocal growth too.
Probably my favorite vocalist is Landon Tewers. He adds so much flair and little bits of personality to all of his music.
Just watched the "Constance" reaction and wanted to stop crying, so I came to this one.
Im a fckn Metalhead, and i loooove your vids, its nice to see how hard it is to make some of these songs, you explain it all so nice and easily =) biiiig greetz from germany dude =) i really enjoy your content =)
Wow this guy's reaction was pretty good. Subbed, gonna check out the rest of the channel
Thanks for your support!
Did you guys heard their song Perennial? This one still blew my mind! It's my favorite song by them and I think it's one of their most underrated, that music video deserve more views imo.
Aphids also
have you heard of Ne Obliviscaris? i feel like you would really love what they do; it's an older song but my favorite from them is Devour Me Colossus I: Blackholes, Xenoyr's screams are so deep and cool + Tim is a stellar vocalist
Sure have! I love Ne Obliviscaris. Did a video of them a few months back!
czcams.com/video/1wzjRS78R-o/video.html
Kyo from dir en grey brings so much emotion in to his singing, he is incredible
I learned how to do fry screaming when I was a kid, and I have been practicing it off and on for 13 years. Only fry screaming, nothing else. Then a few months ago, a friend from my work that loved my screaming voice, wanted to see if I could do a low false cord. Ofcourse, I had tried it in the past, but I could never figure out how to do it. But at the same time, I didn't put too much effort into trying. After what my friend said, I decided to put effort into learning how. Within a week, I learned how to do a proper false chord, and it took only about a month of practice to get it as good as my fry scream. At the same time, I also started to learn how to do high pitch screams. Im not perfect at those, but I'm getting better. So no, you really don't have to stick with one style, and learning other styles will inevitably improve your main style of screaming. My fry scream is better than it's ever been thanks to learning how to do other styles.
If you are a fry screamer, and you want a tip for how I learned how to do a low false chord: Put your mouth in the shape that it'd be in if you were about to yawn, and then just let out a loud groan with some distortion...and that's essentially how I started to learn it properly. If your throat hurts after trying, than stop, don't push it. You weren't doing it properly then. Let your voice rest for a few hours before trying again, changing up your technique slightly. Find what works for you, but don't damage your voice in the process. Ofcourse, there's more tricks to it than just that, but that's a good start.
you should do a video on how to record vocals like all components you need and explain in detail as well as how to track vocals this would a help a lot of amateurs
I have zero interest in ever attempting vocals, but I really enjoy Kardashev and LOVE Spiritbox. I also think you are so incredibly easy to listen to and super informative. The times where you have to gather yourself because you have so much you want to discuss. You can tell that you have a lot of knowledge and you articulate yourself very well.
Love watching these vids.
As far as taking the singing too the edge in their own special way, You HAVE to hear Time, The Valuator. Specifically Starseeker or Illusive Reasons. Best vocalist of the modern age in my opinion.
Absolutly! So sad he quitted...😔
Elusive Reasons would be brilliant.
Starseeker is by far in my top 3 favorite songs.
For real! Love their debut albumn. His belting technique is just absurd. Idk how he does it.
For me, Spiritbox is like the female version of Wolves at the Gate. They make the blending between singing and screaming look so easy and fluid. And their ability to add something “new” to every single vocal is just impressive. Courtney is next level on all fronts.
Lol I just found out kardashev is your band. Love it, been listening to it for a couple months. Great video btw
Haha yes indeed! I'm glad you enjoy the music!
I loved watching this reaction. Such genuine appreciation for the talent.
Thanks, bro!
My recent most unique vocalist has to be Brian Wille from Currents. Everything he does you can instantly know it's him and Currents, incredible talent
I think Sam Carter is really good at conveying his emotions, just listen to Gone with the Wind
A vocalist I think has their own flair is Dallas Green from the band City and Colour.
I totally agree! I was huge into his music a few years back. I felt so dumb when I realized City and Color was basically his name, but literal. Dallas = City and Green = Color.
@@KardavoxAcademy wait... I'm dumb too hahahaha. My eyes have been opened.
Jinjer - Pisces love in studio ....if you like Spiritbox you’ll LOVE this song
He’s already reacted to it.
To answer your question about what singers have a unique sound to their voice or add to their voice, I think Tati from Jinjer is mine. She adds a really nice almost Jazz/Blues sound to her singing voice. It's almost like a smoky quality.
To date my all time favorite singer in terms of flair and nuance is Bruce Dickinson from iron maiden. Imo he is absolutely unmatched. Such a gem
You should definitely consider listening to her one take version of Rule of Nines. It's beautiful.
Singer from Cambria and Coheed adds extra mile! Awesome!
a very unique singer that is my favorite is definitely spencer sotelo from periphery. i would love to see you react to satellites by them! his range is amazing
Hey! This is the dude who sings in that awesome underrated black metal band that requires more attention! :D
Talking about rap, I recommend listening to Hopsin.
watch a band called Sleep Token. Their vocalist is Vessel, he is outstanding. The best singer I've heard in the metal scene
The entire band is "Vessel" they are a vessel for which we interpret the god Sleep. Dark Signs, or Nazareth would be awesome to see Mark react to
@@rytr0nious Well, whoever that is singing, he's incredible lol
@@rytr0nious I like Calcutta the most myself. Nazareth is fantastic too
Wow.. I already loved her and her voice but you pointing out all the little nuances makes me appreciate it so much more.. Thanks Mark!
Eddie Berg of Imminence has a super unique flair to his clean vocals. Would love to see your reaction to one of their songs.
Also Rory from Dayseeker is one of my favorites, and is instantly recognizable with his vocals.
I really like Christina from Lacuna Coil and Tati from Jinjer...their vocals are so sweet...and of course Amy Lee as well
One singer that adds there own flair, is Tilian Pearson, he has a very amazing voice and adds crazy run ons and nuances to it
Please make a Video about Igorrr and their Song 'ieuD!'
I'm really late to the party on this one, but for a really cool and unique singer, I highly recommend Vessel from Sleep Token. Dude has an insane voice and it is SO unique, he perfectly adds flair here and there all over the place.
1. I love spiritbox
2. Lucas Worley of Artifex Pereo is the first vocalist that comes to mind for me who adds a lot of flair
I love her voice.
Spiritbox is what happens if found footage was a music genre.
18:50 Courtney LaPlant is the breakdown. Metal AF.
Awesome analysis. It's nice to see a good clean and metal vocal techniques explained. Also awesome to see a lot of her vocal nuances noticed.
Your reaction to the first longer chorus, “entombed to die” was my exact reaction like *chefs kiss*
Never thought about the nuances in vocals before. Thanks for pointing it out, makes a lot of sense now!
To be honest im amazed with your analysis on the songs. I rarely encounter people with that attention to detail and to the tricks vocalists use. So firstly, i LOVE your work , and secondly i would remmomend "sleep token - the offering" or "sleep token - sugar" . The singing is really interesting.
Great video about an awesome band! Love Spiritbox. I’d be interested in seeing a video analyzing Sleep Token’s song “Higher”. That guy riffs with his singing like crazy!
Would you do a periphery video? Specifically the song make total destroy
I fucking love you man, interesting to here you explain and seeing you get totally In to the mood as well! Thanks for great content !
To your question about singers that stand out, I've always thought Maynard from TOOL has really unique melodic phrasing.
His melodies are so unique I totally agree!
