I don't get why so many people are hating on Tom Barber on this video. Alex was starting to sound like Marge Simpson when he screamed into the mic live. This is a HUGE improvement for Chelsea Grin. They'll actually have a vocalist they can count on too.
If you saw really old videos of him, he sounded like marge simpson back then too. Its like he figured out a way to do vocals that harmed himso he wasn't able to keep doing it live
Prof Pwnalot no Alex decided to step down because of rehab and the touring life was causing him to relapse too much so the band replaced him for his own safety which he was fine with. the whole reason Tom was doing vocals for them is because they found Alex passed out on the bus after getting shitfaced drunk, that was when they sent him home to rehab.
Instrumentals will all still sound the same, Pablo will still be doing backing vocals. I like Alex and have enjoyed every release but definitely think toms an upgrade far as skill/ technique wise. Hearing him perform the old material like DoE will be sick once he gets comfortable. Go check out the Maleficium EP by lorna. i think you'll like his vocals
everyone saying he's better than Alex, I really don't think so... Alex's highs were much better and he just fit the songs much more (obviously since he made them) and Tom isn't terrible but Alex was much better
Bradley Kerr I don’t think it’s a matter of who is much better than who. Just the matter of who suited this band more. And of course it would be Alex.. it’s HIS band lol of course he’d sound good with them. But we can’t sit back and lie to ourselves and say Tom isn’t a major hella upgrade for them.
