No wonder why Lorna Shore is where it is right now...Will is an authentic, chill and talented dude...he's a great addition to the band. I like this guy very much he's cool.
Will Ramos is a legend. He sounds like a demon spawn from deepest depths of hell on the mic and then you see him chilling and he seems like the kinda guy that would watch your cat for the weekend
His vocal control is insane. His speaking voice is super nasally but his clean vocals are stellar and his vocal frys and screams are insane. Such a well rounded vocalist
Met Will at a show last year and he is seriously so nice. There was a HUGE line to meet him and the rest of LS and they were all so nice and wholesome to every last person in line.
“Woke up one morning, smelled bacon, came downstairs, and wouldn’t you know it, it was Satan cooking some children. He said ‘hey man, grab a plate, we need to talk.’”
That was such a pleasant interview! Neither of them were trying too hard, they let each other speak, the questions were good and relevant and Will answered them so honestly and humourously. He seems like such a nice guy!
Taught myself in the car on a road trip by myself from Arizona back to Colorado trying to harmonize a scream with The Lost Prophets! One of the most fun things I've ever learned
@@koffinkat666 yep. A ton more scenic than going through NM. Did it a few summers ago when the weather was perfect. Durango is incredible! Was sad I had to keep going back home to C Springs lol
@@TunerThings Yah man it's where I live currently. I know all of those roads and towns in the four corners all the way up to Denver and everyone comes through this town lol. This town used to be real small now it's getting big. Also I love my peeps in New Mexico but 85% of New Mexico is Ugly lmao sorry.
@@warrenjensen4670 This was waaaay back in the day before all that got exposed. Haven't listened for years now. Shame cause I really liked em but can't support that guy
Incredible that he learned this on his own because you can hurt your voice so much by doing something wrong, risk of losing your voice, to get to where he now with those incredible scream and snarls is amazing.
I really dig this dude's energy. And I've recently gotten into deathcore when my obviously more brutal girlfriend got me into stuff like Within Destruction, Vulvodynia, Filth, Shadow of Intent, etc. I was a death metal purist before thinking nothing will surpass Entombed or Obituary in heaviness. I was definitely wrong and love that I'm listening to something current and thriving
First time ever seeing a Puerto Rican metal artist. Made me proud considering I feel like the black sheep of the family since I listen to deathcore and such 🇵🇷🇵🇷
I just recently got into Lorna Shore and this guy is fanfrickentastic at what he does. My heart also ached when they brought up Trevor Strnad and how he was a master at his talent as well. I'll never forget my Dahlia days. Rest easy to a legend and 🤘keep killin' it to Will! Can't wait to see em in Madison.
The voice this guy has is such a rare thing, only a few have thise insane, intense, extreme voice like him. You have it or you try and work for it or you just dont have it. I wish I had it lol
What i always think about, is there could be the next potential Will Ramos (or an even more talented vocalist) out there right now, but they're probably not a death metal fan lol. Probably never tried to growl and don't know they have the vocal cords to do it
I never listened to Lorna Shore until Will became the lead vocalist. I’m not anywhere near the top at knowing who has the best vocal roars but he’s gotta be one of the best out there atm.
@@helpmereach100ksubswithnov4 Trevor Strnad of The Black Dahlia Murder committed suicide earlier this year. Definitely broke my heart, they were one of my favorite Metal bands and I was getting back into their music just a few weeks before he committed suicide too. 🥲💔
I remember in high school I was into Metal and I would talk about wanting to be in a band, but my dad made sure that wouldn’t happen. When I was in a band, he took my bass up for bad grades and when I got it back, it was fucked. I was then kicked from the band and Shit sucked. Korn, Slayer, and Job For A Cowboy we’re some of the bands who influenced me into playing Bass. Then I got into vocals and JFAC, TAIM, CG, and IDW were some influential bands that help develop my vocal technique and to this very day I still wish I had made it into a band and playing on stage. Writing lyrics was always fun too 😁
Same reason I learned to scream. Figured my dad wouldn't rip out my vocal chords. I did manage to make it on stage a few times and now my dad listens to our music. Was great to be able to say look dad I am supposed to do music.
@@Roasty420 you can look everywhere. bass players are always in high demand. honestly if vocals is what you want to do I'd just start a band yourself. I don't see ads looking for vocalists often
Will is such an inspiration. He's one of the vocalist that helped me to actually start practicing a lot! Every time I hear his vocals I get jealous and it makes me want to get better! Shout out to him for being awesome!!
I share a lot with Will. I grew up with classic rock and played it and had someone introduce me to metal and I slowly became more of a fan and started playing it and I’ve been practicing screaming in the car for a couple of years now.
It seems that some singers are self-taught to learn on their own, like Will, like Tatiana from Jinjer but not everyone is like that, I don't think it's safe and advisable to do just like him, I think for those who don't have this skill naturally it's better to find for a teacher trained to not put his vocal prey at risk, get injured and lose his voice.
True, I was self taught only cause I had bottle and bottle of water and I did research on how I could Perfect my craft. My days in high school were amazing! 😁
Yeha, I recently had my first lesson and finding that sweet spot for false chord is kinda difficult if you never did it before - and easily roughed up my throat because of all the amateur mistakes; overprojecting, breathing wrong, and most importantly I thought about it while doing it. Just make sure, when you do a scream, that your throat doesn't hurt (like you yelled at someone) afterwards. A fry feeling, yeha but noo hurt at all.
I am self taught how to fry scream and false chord scream. It is more like a discovery on how to do it and when it gets really uncomfortable, it means I am doing it wrong so I stop and drink plenty water then practice again the next day.
Reminds me of Davey Havok from AFI who damaged his vocal chords and had to have surgery because he's been using the wrong technique of screaming for their music. I've been trying to scream for eight years now and still can't sound good.
Hahahahahah bro!!! 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🔥🔥🔥! My parents were the same with me when they herd what type of music i was listening too. They would say “u dont like salsa? Merengue!?” Im like no Dad! Hahahaha. Started out with metallica and GnR and a friend lended me a cassette that had Cannibal Corpse on one side and Napalm Death on the other! 🤣🤣🤣 that was it for me, i kept on going to heavier stuff man back in 93-94. Good to see a PR 🇵🇷 As a extreme metal front man! Pig every holiday! 💯 true! 🤣
Tuvan throat singing developed through practicality... the steppe is a vast open land mass and the singing projects far louder and farther than shouting... Marco Polo said the Mongolian people sang like birds which is true
Eventually teaching yourself through going along with albums you start to realize what hurts and what won’t last. I used to put suicide silences bludgeoned to death on repeat every day for 2 months until I got the lows right. Been screaming in my car for years and after the first year figured out what doesn’t hurt and then explored what my voice can really do.
Yeah that first listen of Lamb of God was wild, I remember looking at my best friend with probably the most confused look on my face 😂 now I scream too lol
He reminds me of fergal Sharkey a little,🤣🤣 but way cuter. I don't like deathcore, but this guys vocals fascinate me. You can hear 3 screams (demons) at the same way time sometimes, I'm sure of it, plus he can actually sing alswell. The cover of sleep tokens hypnotize is better than the original. Such a talent. And I never thought I'd hear myself say that about deathcore. My fave band is bring me the horizon, and I like as far bk as metal core with them, but they're early stuff is too much for me. But I love watching Ramos while he screams, it seems so effortless. Perfection. I honestly think he's possessed by several demons, but he had a deal with them for his advantage 🤣🤣
Redneck is probably one of my first hard hits that got me turned onto heavy metal. Never looked back! My mum said it was a phase, I'll grow out of it. Over 100 concerts later getting wild in the pits, crowd surfing, getting slammed against the front gates, many war wounds, and wearing all black errythang every chance I get..... 36yrs old I just get deeper down that rabbit hole! 🐇🖤😈 🥲☠️🤘
bro i feel like he would be fun to hangout with and probably skate with idk why i just get those vibes off him but i fucking love lorna shore someone i dont even know showed me them and i was not let down
Dude, we had the same introduction to metal. I was just a drummer. A friend sent me home with a lamb of God CD. I couldn't handle it at first so I just kept it on repeat until I basically stockholmed myself to them.
big fan of will's work, though there is one discussion to be had in the community which he touched upon and it made me think. why is there such a universal dislike for cupping the mic? I mean he said it in a polite way but the consensus in the metal community is extremely (and imo laughably) negative towards this "style" of performing. why would I care whether it's "easy" or not or rather: why would I care how somebody else does his vocals. people call it "cheating" (although I would disagree because it's still the performance rather than a backing track but that's besides the point) when it's just a part of a vocalist's choice of performing. music is not a sport, I couldn't care less if your screams are fry, guttural, etc. they just have to fit the song. you can have your preferences but the outright hatred that cupping gets just doesn't make a lot of sense to me
Because those back vents on a unidirectional mic are for noise cancellation and weird "phase" shit that's over my head but still important to the microphone functioning properly. That said: This ain't opera and harsh, masked up noise is a musical element in modern music so "do what thou will" or something.
Cupping the mic effects the way that it works. Mics are designed a certain way so covering up the area that is made to pick up audio funnels where the input can come from and messes up how it sounds. There's a lot more to it than that but that is a simple way to explain it
Depends on the mic. With a dirt cheap mic you might need to cup the mic for some edge, but with a decent rig with a little distortion and some reverb (not even super heavy) you can get a massive sound without cupping the mic as long as youre projecting your voice well. Dirt cheap house mics is probably where cupping comes from anyway. Think about it, a little dive bar/club in the hardcore or rap scenes back in the 80s.. this mic is will not be taking well to the type of edge you want out of it so you need to give it some help. So not only are there advances in technique, but equipment as well.
The cupping the mic debate is honestly pointless in this day and age. I can tell vocalists until I'm blue in the face why it's "bad" and they're still gonna do it. Now a days I just mix them accordingly and move on with my life.
I’m Puerto Rican too…metal singer…and a girl. That’s how I met my true love and viking american irish husband, when he heard my sing 🎶 music is the best thing🤘🔥
If I was his father and as I walked on him doing his thing,he growled at me with that "To The Hellfire" growl at the end,I'd never fucking walk on him again. I'd never even walk NEAR his room again 😂😂😂
Lorna Shore is literally the only death metal band I will listen to. This isn't just screaming. This is 100% controlled vocal chaos and he is the master.
Will Ramos single-handedly made me want to learn to scream. I started listening to Slipknot at 16 and branched out from there to metalcore and at about 35, I found Lorna Shore and about to be 38 now and I'm actually starting to learn screaming. I live alone in a house in the boonies, I can scream to my heart's content all day long, so why the fuck not learn??? 🤘🤘🤘
The shower is definitely the best place, or the car 😂 I've been trying to figure out how to scream properly, cause I'm a singer already, but every time, I always end up hurting my voice, and I'm not getting the tone that I want. I watched ton of tutorials, nothings worked so far. Trying to learn more of a pop punk/emo scream, not so much a deep metal scream, any tips?
Never stop trying or practicing is my advice, I had a hard time getting through sounding "silly" or bad, but getting comfortable with it allowed me to keep experimenting and learning. You'll find the sweet spot eventually! Cheers
