I noticed this video's comment section is filled with negativity. Fear not, for I shall bestow a glimmer of glee amongst this barrage of ill intent! This song is fantastic! Haunted Shores is fantastic! I'm fantastic! Isn't positivity just FANTASTIC?!
i think bands like this should come out with an instrumental album as well as with vocals. It's not that i don't like the vocals, i just think the music is talented to the point where vocals aren't really necessary.
While I share this sentiment, I've learned the vast majority of people will always disagree with it. People either are so obsessed with people they need somebody's voice over the music to make it sound human or they can't comprehend the fact that good music doesn't need to sound like a human making noises. I'm also aware that I'm replying to a comment from 8 years ago. I really miss 2010-2012 when I was first discovering this kind of music and playing fallout and elder scrolls all day every day. Now I have to blast d-beat noise to keep me awake at my job.
@veloscolev911 Believe it or not, they already have been, and the new versions actually have parts that in my honest opinion enhance the song and make it better!
@JEESherazi He didnt write the vocals to light or totla mad though so our bassist and i were forced to write them, so to reiterate: life fail. That kid didnt do shit, and when he did, it was horrendous and useless.
@Cryptopsy666 We are human too you know, and if you cant appreciate the complexities of relationships in a band, then perhaps it might be best for you not to involve yourself in that aspect of the music. Its never as simple as you imagine it to be, much like any of your personal relationships. There wasnt necessarily bad blood at first, but further developments caused tension to develop. Now im not saying i hate the guy, because i dont, but i am setting the record straight.
I really hope these guys are releasing the new album without vocals too, like Periphery did. This kind of music needs full attention to the music, and its also really great to listen it without vocals to admire it properly.
@TurtlesAndStoners You're right, but this is a Haunted Shores demo that eventually turned into a Periphery song. Haunted Shores consisted of Misha and Mark.
@Psyshimmer Well it wasn't like he was kicked out or anything. If you go to their myspace page it explains what's going on. I'm still looking forward to hearing who's gonna be on the album seeing as how its going to be more than one singer!
@Stevecon6 Chris is no longer in HS. He did do When In Oslo and Sentient Glow though. So it might be on the full length album. There are going to be more guys doing vocals on different songs. And fans can audition to do vocals for one of the songs. So there will be many singers on the full length :D
@Brillyr , he did vocals for two songs though, you can purchase the EP that has those songs. Plus, I'm sure that the songs he did might be on the full length, so he still counts as a Haunted Shores singer in my book :D
I'm just gonna say that new haunted shores is undoubtably gonna be sick... And Spencers voice got so much better recently... Not that it was bad before but his scream has so much more balls now.
@Periphery Fair enough, I understand that band members are like marriages and the split can be just as bad. Thanks for explaining since you definitely didn't have to. I'll be seeing you the on 20th with Darkest Hour, stay safe on the road and take care.
@LOKOMETASENJADOTOY I totaly agree, and ofcourse, he is still going strong in the other band! I hope that HS finds two vocalists of Chris his quality(I might be dreaming). Maybe they could find a woman, which woud be interesting, I think.
I'd audition for y ou guys, but i live all the way out here in fort worth. I've gotten some pretty nice sound, my influences are jerry roush, anthony green, Oliver sykes, i can scream just as good as he used to be able to before his surgery, plus im 100% sure im not ruining my voice. I've gotten sooo much better than when i was a kid and i would have started a long time ago with my other bands but its been hard finding a genuine drummer who knows what he's doing, and a guitarist who can play:p
I like this song with vocals live, but at home it is better to listen to the instrumental version. Don´t understand me wrong... I am also a big fan of Animal as Leaders, but to me Spencer gives this song more feeling and action live!
@donjoelione Im not insulting him at all. He has a lot of talent, im just stating my opinion that his vocal patterns, placements and melody lines severely ruined those songs for me personally, that doesnt mean that you have to agree with me dude. No one is "right" or "wrong". Nor am i saying that he is incapable of writing good patterns and melody lines in general. You seem to be taking what i said a bit personally, and yet it was not an attack on you, why is that?
because than misha would have to spend a LOT of time writing leads to do the work of the vocals, he said it himself in an interview, it would work fine without a vocalist, he just doesnt wanna write constant leads lol
@Periphery I think the clean parts on light and totla mad were really great (not a fan of scream vocals). I don't feel like he made anything special in HS though I wouldn't call that a 'life fail' lol. ;p Is Casey willing to contribute to HS album?
LOKOMETASENJADOTOY ehm how you exactly want to work out the multi-singer routine when you're gonna have to tour ? Are you planning to have 2 singers in the end 1-clean vocals ,2-scream/growl type of singer . Or just 1 singer who's gonna be capable to do both ?
@Periphery I agree with you that I wasn't a fan of the vocals at all so I'm really glad to hear you're looking to get a new vocalist. That said, would you mind taking the same approach to Periphery? :) Lose the screamo.... it ruins your otherwise masterful tunes.
@LOKOMETASENJADOTOY No, I know he wasn't kicked and there's no bad blood between him and Mark, it's just I really enjoyed his vocals over Mark/Misha's riffs. Album will still destroy though.
some bands have amazing instrumental work but a vocalist still ties it all together. For example protest the hero would still be badass without Rody, just not nearly as badass as they are with him. This, on the other hand, I think a singer would just distract from the awesomeness.
@ZombiexXxAutopilot lmao yeah it's kinda weird. if you watch the video "world record trampoline jump" you'll get a better idea of how to say it haha. that video is the origin of my username
@LOKOMETASENJADOTOY As far as im concerned his vocals completely ruined those songs, i absolutely cannot listen to them, the parts were just splattered over the top with no regard for rhythm, note choice, space to breathe or melody. Life Fail!
Axe fx but there are alternatives like positive grid. I like to run two noise gates with a tube screamer in the middle mostly scooped. Then I throw in a high gain amp set gain to about 10 o clock and some eq
@Periphery This is cool and all, but if you weren't willing to tell your fans the truth of the situation when it happened then you should just not speak of it. You tell use there is "no bad blood" then you come here and just trash him. Why pretend then, when now it's obvious that wasn't true. Guess my point is, say it right and truthful the first time or don't say it. This makes you guys look like crap, which saddens me cause I'm a fan and I don't like being a fan of crap :( thanks
