My Sister HATES METAL!! | ICE NINE KILLS - "Stabbing In The Dark" 

Dont judge the screaming if u cant hear the meaning 🤘🤘

“can I speak to the manager” vibes from this one

Your sister seems like the type of person to say metal screaming takes no talent, but then that Taylor Swift is the greatest singer to live.

Your sister may prefer "a grave mistake" by ice nice kills

Well you can tell she’s very close minded. She pulled a face before the song even started

It sounds sad to me that understanding what is being said is a necessity to enjoy a piece of music overall. That means that you cannot appreciate a song in any other languages than the ones you know. You would have to apply the same criticism to opera music, just because you don't understand what is being said, and don't suffice with the mood or feeling that the music is conveying.

Shes one of the people who heres any metal and say "that is just noise"

Next video for her should be Jared Dines' "Metal screaming doesn't take talent" :D

Screaming is easier to understand when you listen for a bit

LOL. "Not that big". Metal is huge. Just because it isn't something mass produced for radio, that doesn't mean that aren't millions of people loving it.

Shes so close minded to the fact that she doesnt want to understand the lyrics or listen and hear what hes saying

In metal music, we love the power of the screaming vocals

No offence, but I love the ignorance of people when it comes from this side of metal 😂

This is literally a filmed conversation with my Gf. Showed her Counterparts new album and ALL she said was 'eh... it's just screaming anyway' Nothing triggers me as much as ignorance against metal music. It's so much deeper than most pop but it's still viewed as like "If I could hear the lyrics it would probably be about murders and devilworship". AHHHHH

She probably likes despacito and is still hating that she cant understand metal lyrics

I'm a 17 y.o girl and I can understand it. Not only what the lyrics are, but the meaning as well. I never realized how much I loved metal until I heard her criticizing the vocals and it made me upset. It gets on my nerves when people are so close minded and quick to dismiss anything a little different. For me, personally, I love INK and this is one of my favorite songs off the album.

You should show her the new falling in reverse song “popular monster”

Show her the acoustic cover of the song. She’ll love it lmao

Tell her they are a horror themed band. I just saw them live recently and they dress up as horror characters for each song. They were amazing.

When people show me music, no matter the genre, I give it a go. She’s acting like this is torture

"Oh you didn't understand it? Let's listen to it again"

Please introduce your sister to jinjer😁😁🤘🤘

Listening to Metal is weird when you’re not used to it…but you don’t have to understand the lyrics to get what they’re trying to say. I’ve listened to metal for over 5 years now and I still can’t understand every single word but in music this doen’t matter. Ice Nine Kills is a great band and their songs are original and finally something new and creative.

She's THAT kind of person. I feel sorry for you man, it might be hard to have someone without a brain in your family. It's just sad knowing that people like her won't change their mind because they've decided to be ignorant about it instead of just enjoying the music, it's not that hard to look up the lyrics and appreciate what's being said

lucky her you didn't show her Cannibal Corpse,Cradle of Filth,Fleshgod Apocalypse or any black metal band😁😁perhaps you introduce her to Babymetal next time?🤘🤘

I learned that with metal lyrics, if it's for you you'll catch the lyrics and if not just rock out and eventually you'll follow the scream patterns and then depict the lyrics lol💪🏽💪🏽

It was hilarious when he started screaming, because both of you had the same look on your face, but it was clear that you were into it because your head was bobbing to the beat, but your sister was like, "what the hell is this?"

She may need to be a little more open to review music. As someone who is accepting to all genres, her views come off as closed minded and rude. Also, NOT screamo. Let her know that. Its metal/metalcore. A lot of people who listen to metal adapt and can understand the screaming. Hard pass on her.

"it's 8 minutes long? How can a song be that long?" oh my sweet sun child...

Imagine not enjoying something just because you can’t understand it 😳

Him: Bringing good arguments and trying to explain to her why he and other people like it etc. She: I cAn'T hEaR tHe LyRiCs AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGH

When she says "come on a little kid" someone should have her watch "children of the corn" lol

This was my favourite song from the entire 2018 year. The entire story "The Silver Scream" is hella interesting. You should definitely start from part 1 " The American Nighmare". Btw I get your sister. I hope people don't hate on her. Just tell her that contrary to her beliefs, metal is HUGE.

She is literally coming up with weird reasons to hate a song. “What is the point of reading lyrics if you can’t understand them?” Yea right

when you did the face, i knew, i felt it. Having been a INK fan for a very long time, the snarl during the breakdown was appreciated

The same "I can't understand them argument" can be made about Ariana Grande

You get an ear for it. It takes time. When I first started listening to it I couldn’t understand anything but now I can tell you what deathcore is screaming about 😂

I have to say, the fact that Spencer can write all these songs dedicated to each horro movie takes WAY more talent then a lot of pop songs out there that are just anout breaking up or whatever. He made full dedications to well loved classics and did them so phenomenally. I unsdettand not everyone enjoys this style, but it’s a style that still deserves respect.

Listening to screams is just like understanding an accent. Over time it’s a lot easier to understand them.

The whole record “the silver scream” is a masterpiece! This album shows the creativity and hard work dedicated to all those awesome horror movies. I love it so much.

Lyrics In calculated silence Captivated by the violence of the play Fifteen years ago today Oh, an evil evolution Will bring a feeble institution to it's knees Oh, doctor can't you see? That when the hands of fate Fall on the midnight hour Behind this mask of hate I don the devil's power These are the devil's eyes The devil's eyes Go! A former portrait of perfection Painted without plight Now Haddonfield's my battlefield Your kids won't make it home tonight With a madness void of reason I kill with every strike I'll haunt you day after day Knife after knife Day after day Knife after knife Taking life after life When the hands of fate Fall on the midnight hour Behind this mask of hate I don the devil's power If there's life in the shadows Let the knife leave its mark When the certainty of safety feels like stabbing Stabbing in the dark You'll learn a heartless human harvest Feeds this festival of flesh Stalking at the top Scream of the crop A silent cut above the rest Where blood's thicker than water I've carved up quite a scene With your worst fears carved on this white veneer I'll change the face of Halloween You can't kill the boogeyman When the hands of fate Fall on the midnight hour Behind this mask of hate I don the devil's power If there's life in the shadows Let the knife leave its mark When the certainty of safety feels like stabbing Stabbing in the dark All units respond Multiple fatalities reported on Orange Grove Ave. Suspect has been identified as one Michael Myers He is armed and extremely dangerous Shoot to kill, I repeat, shoot to kill over I am a shadow where there once was light Strangling all signs of life It's either you or some kid down the street The choice is yours Trick or fuckin' treat! Michael! Stop it! Ahhhhhh! When the hands of fate Fall on the midnight hour Behind this mask of hate I don the devil's power If there's life in the shadows Let the knife leave its mark When the certainty of safety feels like stabbing Stabbing in the dark

Honestly. Listening to a track and reading the lyrics at the same time is very immersive. You understand each line much better. And the more you listen to bands with unclean vocals. The easier you understand.

The last album “Every Trick in the Book” is based off of famous novels. The newest album “The Silver Scream” is based off of horror films. Your sister would probably like “A Grave Mistake”. It’s based off “The Crow” and it’s very laid back comparatively

Being this closed minded is terrible. Ice Nine Kills are some of the most brilliant lyricists around today. And she's gonna miss out on the genius by not realizing that after a few times hearing it and knowing the lyrics, it makes the song have a whole new impact

Looks like Karen didn't like the metal. She needs a manager asap.

I LOVE how he loves it and she hates it! The duplicity between them is just perfect!

also yeah reading the lyrics can have a big impact because when you do dig deeper into lyrical content its much more significant

Psssshh, she thinks 8 minutes is long?

You sure this was your sister? Seems more like a distraught mom lol

It's so easy to understand what they're screaming lol. Open your ears and actually listen to it again.

Keep your sister in your videos going forward it will be fascinating to see the progress of her perception towards this kind of music. Concidering she's so pure to it at this point She's the perfect niche for this experiment and for our entertainment 😎

Maybe next time bring someone on with more of an open mind? She seemed from the beginning of the video very close minded to "Screamo". Or bring her back on and do Ice Nine Kills cover of Animal. Funny music video, and she would actually be able to understand the song since she has probably heard the Original from Maroon 5.

Shes so upset about the kid but she doesnt know about the movie. Dont judge dude

I love listening to metal. I listen first with my ears then with my eyes and ears (looking at the lyrics whilst listening to the song) and it enhances the song and listening experience. I love the screaming lyrics because it adds more emotion to the track and if I don't understand the screaming I look up lyrics and delve further into the song and feel the emotion even more and vibe to the song

but what if i can understand "screamo" better than mumble music

She says it's all one tone of screaming, but Spencer has a large range of screaming

Show her royal beggars by architects she might appreciate the soft singing with the slightly harsh vocals and the deep meaning of the song

As someone who used to hate metal for screaming I can sort of understand people's misconception for metal. However, after trying to scream after one song, I realised how hard it is to do it properly and so I actually took some time to learn the very basic screaming technique. After that, I try to scream every song i hear because not only it is super fun to do so, it is also challenging. I really hope people can appreciate all the hard work behind screaming.

As soon as the song started she already made up her mind she was gonna hate and gave herself excuses to hate it. Give a song a chance and don't take it so seriously.

“Oh come on! A little kid??” Bro have you never seen Halloween 😂

Pretty sure she’s reported the memes I’ve shared on Facebook

people who say its just screaming and cant understand the words just have virgin ears .

Your sister must be SO fun at parties "Oh come on! A little kid?!" Okay so you've never seen Halloween, we get it. Lol.

I listened to and still listen to Disturbed, you sir have a good taste in music lol. I love Ice Nine Kills as well

"THE CHOICE IS YOURS! TRICK OR F#CKING TREAT!!!!"- Stabbing in the Dark

Thats how I felt the first time I listened to metal, but I warmed up to it. The whole idea of the bands latest record is horror movies. This record isnt patricularly deep or meaningful, its just a fun listen and a tribute to horror movies. However the point of metal is to find meaning in the emotions and to find a release in the energy and musicianship, and I think most people issue is theyre very vocalcentric because pop has become so watered down, and the only truely expanded instrument in most radio music is the voice. To truly understand metal you must divorce yourself from vocals. I would say that the feel is the most important. However on top of that it is truly an acquired taste, I can hear the lyrics alot of the time without reading at this point with metalcore bands like this because ive been listening to it for alot of the time. Everyones usual initial complaint is “But its the screaming, i dont get it”, but at some point your ears do switch, it starts to become more than random noise, usually you will find a band that just does it, something about the emotions they portray, or their style of screaming combined with amazing musicianship will make you be like, “oh, thats actually pretty sick” and at that point it becoms an addiction, you start to realise that the voice isnt a different beast than the rest of the music, but that its just another instrument, and that its the emotion of the piece as whole rather than the words that are at the forefront. It wouldnt surprise me if, that if you truly tried, your “babys first metal band” would be Five Finger Death Punch, leading into Pantera and pushing onto Lamb of God and you getting really into groove metal and southern alt-metal type projects. Now thats just an assumption based on nationality and your accent, but the stuff you get into tends to be based around your culture rather than personality. Metal, along with jazz, classical music, harder electronic genres and funk, as well as things in that ballpark, are some of the only contemporary genres right now that i feel can truly give people an appreciation for music as a composition, and as the sum of all parts involved as a whole, rather than just as the singer with backup. There is a reason why fans of these genres often get so into it, and thats because they truly gain a passion for it, and because there is passion behind it, not just in those playing it, but also in listening to it. For most people, a comversation about music is a subject used to pass the time, or to keep a casual conversation going when youve run out of things to say, but for metalheads and others that listen to these types of genres these are important and passionate subjects. So, in reality, its completely fine that you dont enjoy this music, but what I think is important is that you give a chance, listen to some softer stuff to start with, learn to divorce yourself from the vocals and get into the feel, learn to appreciate the music as a sum of all of its parts. If you still dont like it, thats fair, but who knows, maybe in a few years time youll be jamming infant annihilator and jumping into Thy Arts moshpit.

I’ve had this same conversation so many times. I’ve given up trying to explain but I’m with you my dude.

Also, yes, bring her (or any member of your family who doesn’t like metal) into more of your videos. It’s fuckin awesome to see people who don’t like metal (or haven’t listened to it) be introduced and hear/see their reaction. Also, you’ve earned a new sub ❤️

show me a classical musician that understands every word in opera

When you listen to metal on a regular basis you get an ear for what they say so even when they have a new song you pick up on what they're saying without lyrics its like anything else it takes time to gain the control of it.

You should explain to her that the screaming is just another element of the music, just like singing is. Treat the voice like an instrument and it opens up your mind to the different screams there are. There’s so much versatility in just this one song I’m pretty sure she just shut off right after hearing the first one. For someone to make those noises with their voice is insane. It’s just like when a good singer hits a nice vocal run.

I think something like doomsday by architects shows really well how the screaming may change the impact a song can have. There is a regular (with screaming) and a piano version (completly in clean) available. So I think this may be a good comparison for a future video to show the difference in the impact a song can have (especially for someone who usually doesn't listen to metal). Before I forget it, continue doing your videos. Always enjoying watching this.

u should react with her to Montionless in white

Tell her that most of us do hear the lyrics and understand the emotion behind the rage and why it is sung this way. It is just her. You have to actually listen and then judge. Like really listen.

him: just vibing her: what in the actual hell

"oh really a little kid" bwhahaha i can tell she's never actually watched Halloween before

Her face is quite punchable during the whole song.

For a while, before my ears took to metal vocals, I looked up the lyrics because I love the pure aggression and power that metal has

Her reaction is killing me ahaha , she’s like WTF is going on - great video guys 👍🏼👍🏼 xo

It's about CHAOS. The screaming brings out the chaos in the story. It's about the chaos in murder. Hearing the screaming is feeling the chaos in musical form. That is 100% the only way to explain screaming in music. For me, screaming music "metal" alows me to release my anger in my head rather than letting it slip out making me an overall happy human being. Many metal bands have helped me over the years with growing up and facing depression from personal garbage. There's just something in the aspect of screaming in music that allows me to express my inner chaos internally rather than it being an issue. It's a coping mechanism. Best way to explain it. Over all, good reviews man. Love your videos👌

Ice nine kills did acoustic versions of some of their songs, she might like those better

Show her Jinjer !!!!! Also, you two should react to ice nine kills - A grave mistake. I think that will be a little easier on her.

Why did I for a moment think that at one part, Spencer was sitting with the two! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

I love looking back and forth between the left and right of the screen because its completely polarized

"It was disturbing" of course its disturbing, they're using their music videos to build a horror movie. Horror movies are supposed to be disturbing.

Most of the music that I listen to I never understand the lyrics until I go see them because english is not my first language and I listen mostly to english music so I don't really mind to not understand all the lyrics. In fact I find it cool to search the lyrics because it makes the songs like they are not just music but also a message and art. To understand growling you have to listen and read the lyrics a the same time and with time your hears are becoming more and more used to it so it becomes easier to understand it. I started to listen to metal during the summer and for me it is still hard to understand growling except maybe for the growling from Tatiana (Jinjer) because I listen a lot of Jinjer. You should tell her to react to Jinjer with you (start with pisces with her if she wants to ) and you should absolutely show her Nightwish.

i respect your immense patience with her I would lose my shit

I am a german and I don't understand a lot of the lyrics from songs, even if i look them up. But I understand the music even without the text, but with the art and the sound they create with the instruments and the voice. It just sounds good ^^

She's definitely not ment to do reactions. You have to have a open mind

03:22 "An 8 minute long song?? How can a song be that long?????" I mean... What did she expect? A song which is barely 3 minutes long because the writers lacked ideas, as it seems to be the case with this generic pop s*** all the way through?? You should show her Nightwish- The Greatest Show on Earth (24 minutes). Although she might dig this one more because less "screamo"

Even in hip hop alot of you have to look up lyrics to know exactly what they say. But once you know what they’re saying it’s beautiful

Awesome video. Btw where did you get that hoodie???

he was about to dropkick her

Show your sister song: Ice Nine Kills - Grave Mistake

I heared Ice nine kills live this year… it was one of the best Concerts that i have ever watched

New member to the channel! Look at you with the fresh cut! You gotta check the new jinjer video for Pit of Consciousness!

Do I see a metal rejecting” Karen “cuz I’m a metal head and well I tell people get over it 🤣🤣 this isn’t music for the weak it’s for the sane to feel alive

Ice Nine Kills is a great option 👌🏼👌🏼 you should have her react to Thoughts And Prayers by Motionless In White

When I was around 16 or so, I started dating a guy in a metal band and I felt the same way she did about metal music..now I listen to the heaviest music out of everyone and absolutely love it. Spencer is my favorite vocalist and I can spend hours going through and listening to all of their music. I also love how you described it as “passion” cause that’s how I try to describe it to people. 😊

Should have never stopped your channel
