He Literally Sounds Like an Animal | Worship Drummer Reacts to "Vikings" by Slaughter to Prevail 

in his drum playthroughs of demolisher you get to see exactly what he does and how. Also the scars on Alexs face are intentional and he sings in russian

I love hos Alex is a beast on stage and a teddy bear off stage! Don't apologize for nerding out about drum technique. Being a nerd means that you are knowledgeable and passionate about something, and that's not a bad thing!

Welcome to all the metal heads in the chat who have now rushed through your doors like myself XD

They have plenty of drum cam videos out there. Evgeny is an absolute monster

Lorna Shore - To the Hellfire to hear Will Ramos and Austin Archey killing it. Shadow of Intent - The Heretic Prevails for some insane Ben Duerr vocals and Farewell for some Bruce Butler drums.

The majority of the band are from Russia (1 guitarist is British). Alex switches between Russian & English in the songs. If you really want to get blown away by Alex’s abilities, look up him screamijg without a microphone …. Alex is far better than Will Ramos in my opinion, Will is amazing don’t get me wrong, I’m just not that into his style whereas Alex is intriguing.

Watch his live one take version from his own office of this song. He is a beast and outstanding!

The scar on his face is real and he did it to himself so that he can have a cool scar

Its in russian , this is the part thats in russian, rest of the song is in english. You can understand only the language of sword Well, let the blood shed Let the blood shed My boneless tongue will become An iron, that I can talk That I can talk You can understand only the language of sword Well

You got to check out Slaughter to Prevails drum play through. Their drummer is a beast

"What the heck did I just watch?" 😂 I said the same thing when I unknowingly walked up to the second stage at a music festival just in time for their performance of Demolisher. That moment is ingrained in me for life. It was extremely exhilarating, The live aspect of it is how I got into this genre of metal. Their energy during a performance is insane.

I’m entirely new to your channel and I’m so happy to have found another drummer reactor. And I’m sorry as you’ve probably heard this a thousand times before but please consider reacting to El Estepario Siberiano in the future. Can’t really go wrong with what you choose to watch.

Awesome Matt! What a great reaction. You had me laughing. Your having too much fun, so good to see. Thank you for the reaction. Most of their songs are quite heavy, the one that really got their name out there was Demolisher, another good one is 1984 or Baba Yaga

The scars on his face are part of a body mod culture called Scarification. It's more extreme than tattoos and basically very permanent (unless you get a skin graft or something) and I wouldn't recommend googling it if you're squeamish. Also, that one handed snare roll he does is common in extreme metal and they're called gravity blasts. It has roots in marching band, believe.

In an interview with David Simonich, the singer of Signs of the Swarm (deathcore band as well, similarly brutal gutterals), he mentioned how he laid down most of his vocal tracks for their last album reclined in a chair with his feet up, totally relaxed. Those false vocal folds do all the heavy lifting, safely.

I see several have suggested you give Lorna Shore "To The Hellfire" a go. I support that but do yourself a favor and pull up the lyrics up front since you're going to need them if you want to know whats being sung

Yes his scars are real...check out his interview with RockFeed, he discussed how he acquired

Here first! As if that matters. Such a fire song! 🔥🤘😝🤘🔥

Not seeing a Chris Turner 40 Roll reaction. Highly recommend this.

And Evigeny(drummer) does the playthrough of this song,their guitarist(I forgot his name but I think it’s Dmetry) does it too.

Now you need to see Alex Terrible - Barbie Girl. Love the reaction. It's a great choice for a first song from STP.

God I am so excited for you to get to Lorna Shore now. Will the vocalist has unlocked 100% of his vocals chords. Austin Archy was created in a lab by drumming scientists. "To The Hellfire" by Lorna Shore please!!!! Lorna Shore is a rabbit hole band more so than Slaughter to Prevail in my personal opinion but I am more keen to black metal sounds than death metal. Once you follow along with lyrics for this kind of music it's like learning a new language. Will Ramos lyrics are beautiful and if you have them to a pop singer they would win a Grammy.

Congratulations! This is the first time I have been able to get through a SlaughterToPrevail video. I am an abject failure at learning to appreciate growling, not from lack of trying, and even though from what I have heard, this guy is the absolute master. I am limited, in metal, to clean vocals, with maybe a growl thrown in here and there. But, I got all the way through this, learned a bit about drumming and got a good laugh at your face, Matt, at the end of the video.

There’s a few metal drummers that hold there sticks with the butt hitting the head or just use double butted sticks

Alex's face scar is surgically created, can't speak to why he did it other than to look tougher or cooler but yeah, the scar was put on his face on purpose.

Hardcore bands as Slaughter to prevail or Lorna Shore are on my Spotify playlist called "my relaxing list" 😊 More heavy music is I find out more relaxing, not aggressive at all🙂Yes, I understand every single word, even Russian as I am Polish, learn some Russian at school😊 P. S say hi to your son, he have beautiful name❤ New sub here, I also Ren huge fan will have your reaction to him as well😊

This song is in protest to Russias invasion of Ukraine. Alex (Russian) says “do you not understand, we are from the same flesh” several times in the song, and I believe the parts in Russian are similarly worded. He is an absolute beast live, he has a live one take vocal performance of this song on his channel. The part towards the end where he isn’t holding a mic near him in the video, he does that live. No mic near him, just straight up beast mode, and you can clearly hear him in whatever venue you are in. Guy has a ton of power in his voice. He is quite a teddy bear in person, and has a ton of funny/really cool videos on his channel, his Doom videos are dope

If you like slipknot, you might like Baba Yaga. It's "less intense," but one of my favorites by STP

Drum-daddy…love it!

Демолиша - джаст э Брутал анмелодик щит. Фор англосаксонианс юзерс онли. Маст си хим мелодик/дэт экспириенс : Проклятый старый дом : *Cursed old house*

a lot of it was in Russian, the rest was English Alex Terrible style.

It's like watching *Simon Peth's* reaction from Mission Impossible😮

You have to watch the Pain Remains trilogy by Lorna Shore. It's the only metal song that makes me cry. Extremely powerful

"bored you with drum technique"....not possible

Many people see the scars and think they are from the bear wrestling he does sometimes (fr) but they actually are put in by another person,he said it himself,and he likes them.

So good

Russian Venom...Predator ...Tanos ...Alligator also . Secret ivasion weapon

Yep,They are influenced by slipknot😊 Btw, you need to check out Spencer Prewitt of Archspire, prob one of the fastest drummers around

One more comment! Speaking of Will Ramos, August burns red just released "The Cleansing" from their latest album but now featuring Will! It's also 🔥!

archspire usually has some great instrumentals, using the vocals as a type of rhythm instrument.

Full text *VIKING* : Понимаешь только язык меча Что ж, да прольётся кровь Да прольётся кровь Мой язык безкостный станет Железом, чтобы говорить Чтобы говорить Понимаешь только язык меча Чтож..... Immeasurable desire to shed blood A piercing feeling of guilt The normal rules do not apply You'll watch me rise, I'll see you die Adrenaline is filling our veins fast My honor will fly in the wind You're pissing me off, I'm like a dog Barking, tryna bite, barking, tryna kill I let the blade do the talking So my tongue became iron If fate decided to put me in front with a choice Then I choose blood, then I choose void Понимаешь только языка меча что ж Do you understand we have the same blood? You notice that I am from the same flesh? Do you understand that we have the same home? You notice that we sow discord, we sow death Let the blade do the talking So my tongue became iron Abandoned by fate - one man Making the history for the whole world Abandoned by fate - one man His mind is calm, his eyes are cold Abandoned by fate - one man Making the history for the whole world Abandoned by fate - one man His mind is calm, his eyes are cold Do you understand that we have the same blood? You notice that I am from the same flesh? Do you understand that we have the same home? You notice that we sow discord, we sow death Do you understand that we have the same blood? You notice that I am from the same flesh? Do you understand that we have the same home? We sow discord, we sow death

YES!!!!!

I've been A drummer for 17 years on and off. I've been in 5 different bands. 2 worship, 1 acustic trio, and 2 metalcore bands. I have been to countless concerts and metal shows and fests. Have met many famous metal bands. I can also do low growls. It isn't demonic like religous crazy people think it is. (I am A christian btw). Its a sound anyone can make. Simply bark in a low tone. And now hold it. Do it with your stomach as the pressure, not your throat. You need to know how to breath and breath well. A lot of technique can go into different kinds of screaming/growling. And before you ask, no it does not destroy your throat...if you do it right. Several lead vocalists can both scream and clean sing and they sound amazing. As far as guitars and base and all that, they use pedal boards, people who just start out in metal don't understand that you need pedals and pedal boards for many kinds of music. Also bass players will use pics believe it or not in metal. Distorition is the biggest thing when it comes to guitars in metal music, esp "Core" genres. Metalcore/deathcore/hardcore. If you've never been to a show, a reccomend going to a huge metal show where big bands are playing. My favorite band for example is August burns red. Seen them 6-7 times. Spectacle. I usually mosh though. In this music video you can also see a "wall of death" where the crowd runs at eachother...yeah i've been in 6-7 of those irl. Is it scary? of course it is. Moshing in geneneral is both fun and scary. I've had a tooth chipped, been elbowed in the face, backhanded to the nose, roundhouse kicked (all accidents keep in mind) and even gotten a concussion (still dont know how). But i'm going to keep doing it as long as i feel up to it at shows. (Circle pits are not for me though, thats just legit cardio with moshing on the side lol). Also crowd surfing happens a lot...and it is NOT like the movies AT ALL. I stopped crowd surfing in 2014, got dropped on my neck one too many times. Its fun...depending on the crowd and NEVER EVER try to crowd surf behind the mosh pit...youll just get dropped into it, granted everyone will try to pick you up..but still. Wall of death though can be amazing but can also have a domino effect. i've held back like 20 people at once from trampling a dude after the wall of death. Moshing is all about brotherly love though and if there is even a hint at an actual fight that guy that started it is prob getting thrown out. There is also a missing element with most tracks from youtube depending on the band and songs and your sound settings. The reason being is because a lot of these tracks on youtube dont have the added 808 layering that is in the tracks. (808 is a base drops you may hear from heavy rap coming from someones sublifier in a car for example) at metal shows they have audio monitors just for the 808s and it feels like its going through your chest when the breakdown hits it adds so much to it. You can hear it if you have the right base settings or headphones from studio recorded tracks depending on the bands. Usually its a pre recorded thing, but some bands (rarely though) will have a sound pad..sometimes multiple pads. It is also easier (imo) to do lows (growling), mids are not too hard, highs are where it starts to get rough, just depends on practice. And believe it or not stuff like this ...I can actually fall asleep to. I'm not kidding, almost fell asleep at A local metal show once..not cuz the band was boring it's just cuz you get so use to it it doesn't wake you up lol. Of course at shows this gives me pure adrelene and what not and makes me get into an epic mood and stuff thats why moshing exsists haha. As far as Alex (lead voclist who you need to look up ..dude is a current day viking and wrestles bears...im...im not joking..actual brown bear..look up his instagram Alextheterrible) doing the crazy gutterrole at the begging ...that is honestly next level. Ive heard more metal than can account for in my life..and it is just bizarr how he can do something like. But hey a lot of people can do amazing things. He is a teddy bear and you should honestly look up his interviews cuz dude is just so caring and kind. One show he did apparently a lady had a siezure during the show..Alex straight up stopped the entire show, just to make sure she was helped and taken care of before they continued. This band is also from Russia. Most of them recently all moved to Florida because of the war over there. Please do not ever judge A book by its cover yall. A person is bad if they are bad. Never assume, never judge. Seen it one too many times..by none other than other christians. In reality Jesus would probably be moshing with everyone there too.

I love the drummer, he is not human....the band are not human XD

Think of his voice as a percussive instrument :)

Добрый день. Барабанщика зовут Евгений Новиков. У него есть канал на RU-vid

Alex also has some entertaining covers on his RU-vid page. If you want another different brutal vocal approach check out the Japanese metal band Deviloof and their song Newspeak 🤘😊🤘

I think it is very interesting how these sounds are made. My 13 year old walks around doing throat sounds, not to this extreme.

Your son is adorable

Now when your chocked. Check our Will Ramos in Lorna shore. Take his one takes and you will be amazed.

react to Lorna Shore

Still hoping you get to that The Plot in You... If not the one i recommended their much more popular Feel Nothing would be dopesauce

Chief, a suggestion for a #reaction right here: Saphath - Pleiades Map. A game changer for symphonic metal (and also another badass Russian band with balls).

Hehehe "If it gets hit with any copyrights, Alex we're gonna talk." Yeah. You hadn't checked him out yet. Still think you're gonna "talk" to Alex? 😂 Actually it's said he's a real sweetheart. I've seen interviews. I still don't think I'd "talk" to Alex freaking Terrible. Dude is scary as hell. They say he doesn't need a mic to get those sounds. I have another band for you that doesn't sing in English, and I listen to them like I listen to instrumental music because the voices are amazing. It's IKINÄ from Finland. Their video for "Rituaali" is a good place to start, but there's lots more to them. They have two female singer/screamers who have gorgeous clean voices--and scream in harmony!

Russian and the scars are from being hit by a bottle

Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan? The band is call "Lovebites" They all The Beautiful Queens Metal band right now in the earth. They are really really World class musicians. Phenomenal. And they have a lot die hard fans too. The song is "Set the world on fite" Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Big thanks🙏

😂😂😂😂 He said "Give me one that's more chill" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Im pitching spiritbox now! And lorna shore! No one would judge either if you tossed the lyrics up. We're all guilty of it and some are amazing lyrics you shouldnt miss out on!

Pls check Evgeniy Novikov Ouroboros, Demolisher, Baba Yaga playthrough.

dying warhog 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Alex terrible 🔪🔥

The non English parts are in Russian (he's from Russia. So, a VERY distant descendant from Scandinavian language). Also, the show Vikings is one of the most historically INACCURATE shows ever created. Ignore anything it shows or says. The song actually has a positive message... "Do you understand that we're of the same blood? You notice that I am from the same flesh? Do you understand that we have the same home? You notice that we sow discord, we sow death?" Alex is actually one of the nicest guys. The scars on his face were done on purpose, by himself. And your eyes getting as big as dinner plates was the reaction I was looking for. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As far as his voice... Most of the time, his notes are not going that low. Adding the growl behind it gives it a second octave lower tone, and that's why it sounds lower. He also incorporates slight throat singing as well. As for the growl near the beginning, same general concept, but he add his uvula to give it that purr. There are "Vocal Folds" and "False Vocal Folds" (where the growl comes from). Employing the false ones while the regular wones are going ads a natural second tone that's an octave lower. The throat singing (which opens the throat) is where he gets his volume. The following is 2 licensed vocal coaches (one Opera, one Rock), going into detail on how it all works... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y0w9T6iuiMM.htmlsi=Uq8Bbtt-gaeFDhNe

Since I don't have a reaction channel, I can give my honest reaction in the comments section of a video. Wow, anybody that would listen to and like this insane garbage, is not playing with a full deck. Sorry, my personal opinion. To each his own.

That type of blast beat is called gravity blasts just fyi
