OCEANS OF SLUMBER | WHERE GODS FEAR TO SPEAK | Her Scream Is Incredible! - Scottish Singer Reacts 

"I fuckin love a swamp witch" absolutely killed me 😂

This band is truly unique. Proggy, heavy instrumentals with tons of groove. Soulful, bluesy, vocals from Cammie and those tasty, gutteral lows! And... really really clever innovative lyrics and composition. I'd ask why they aren't far bigger but its because they're a LOT. However I've been told, and know from artists I'm acquainted with they are very much respected by their fellow artists. I'm a fanboy. Sue me. Great reaction!

This song was incredible. That's totally Cammie doing the growls. At first, I just assumed it was one of the other band members, like in previous songs. But I looked at their Band Camp page for the song where they say it's her doing them! Wow. This is very new, at least for her in this band. Maybe it was partially motivated after the previous harsh vocalist left the band? I'm super impressed as a fan. I hope to hear more.

I'm more of a death / slam guy but I dig this. I've never heard of them before, they bring those big doomy riffs I can't get enough of and the vocalist is a complete bad ass.

Ad Infinitum,evenmore,rage of light,(all the same singer Melissa Bonny) Skindred,Killswitch Engage,Brass Against,

Well, I liked this one quite a bit. The slight soul aspect in the vocals does have something to add to their originality. Very solid, instrumentally, and I kind of like the songwriting. I might consider listening to an album because of what I just heard. Which is quite a compliment. Nothing I may normally really rave about - but also certainly a good portion above average for sure. It is not as generic as most stuff in these styles. And yes, I definitely love to see more ethnical and sex diversity in all metal genres, always did. So metal gets rid of its "white guys in leather jackets" image. Which it pretty much has, as long as we still have to mention people of color, asian and female musicians and vocalists, as if it would be something special. It's getting better, and more diverse audiences get interested in modern metal variants, maybe because it got more radioplay, and therefore, it might be easier to also interest more diverse musicians to get into it. Heck, there even are trans-only black metal bands, it is just not at all common. It always has been only the few stupid intolerant and racist artists ruining it for the rest (yes, I once was a great Pantera fan, but would not visit their reboot concerts) and at least in this century, the audiences got more mixed, because metal/core got more mainstream. Just a few thoughts, that may be mostly unrelated to this special band, but I just had to think about it, because I noticed a few black female vocalists, mostly in much lesser known bands, in all metal genres, from more traditional doom and black metal up to modern metal/core. And we don't have to talk about, how fantastic some Japanese bands are, and not only this babymetal-like stuff, but also some really great death and metalcore bands. Other countries rarely show up on any playlists, but I guess more Indian, Indonesian or African bands might come to our consciousness sooner or later (not just Voice of Baceprot or Bloodywood). I mean, we even have FRENCH metal bands. (Yes, that's a joke). Best regards, as always, my dear Scottish dudette!❤

I love this band so much, heavy, melodic and pretty unique sounding. For some bands I love a mix of distored and clean vocals, there's a band called Vintersea who's singer is amazing at both styles, you really should check out their song Befallen if you like this.

YEAH! YOU TELL EM ROSIE!!!

This reminds me of Vintersea, they also have a female singer who does cleans and growls, and they also have very proggy epic music. Their last album whipped ass, if it weren't for Tomb Mold it would have been my favorite album of last year.

That was damn cool! I really enjoyed that! I would recommend the song Playing With Fire, By Lita Ford. Keep up the great work My Fine Scottish Lady! ❤❤❤

Love when you do a band that I’ve never heard of and they turn out to be awesome, I’ll be checking out more of this band. Check out Monochromatic Black for an amazing female vocalist with growls to rival that of Tatiana!

I feel for the heaviness to be at it's best it needs to have some come and go with intensity and tempo. Oceans of Slumber are great!

uhh, can't remember the last time i had an instant follow on spotify, but this like ticks all the boxes, need to dive into it later on :)

Wait holy crap, I had no idea it was Cammie doing the harsh vocals. I found these guys about a year ago when The Charismatic Voice did a video, and I liked the mix of Cammie's powerful soulful voice with their doom/prog metal instrumentals. But I wondered if she could do harsh vocals if some of the guys doing them ever left the band. I've listened to this song a few times without seeing the video and had no idea she was the one growling in this song. Sick.

Amazing cool masterpiece! As I am Dutch: amazing Dutch bands to watch are Blackbriar, Delain, Charlotte Wessels (ex-Delain singer), The Gathering, Anneke van Giersbergen (ex-The Gathering singer), Within Temptation. And amazing German band 'Snow White Blood' !

Nice, nice, very well doing. Some mix of Primordial (band), Doom, Black metal & some Opeth vibes 😍😍 Thx for that suggestion Scottish Girl ❤

I’ve been trying very hard to get into this band. But I’m not a big fan of harsh vocals and blast beats. But you’re right, her voice is amazing. And I love female voices in metal. My favorite is the band Nightwish. If you haven’t checked out their singer Floor Jansen yet, you should give her a listen. Her voice really is one of a kind.

"Subscribe or rot in Hell", I've heard that hell is rather nice this time of year

I come for the singing reactions, I stay for the simpsons clips. Love your vids :)

One thing I really enjoy about Cammie's voice is it's a bit deeper/lower than a lot of the female vocals you get in metal, when they tend to often have a more airy, poppy, or angelic (or operatic) vocals. This bands previous album was weird for them and it was barely metal at all - they called it 'New Southern Gothic' which I think is a great descriptor of the sound. She definitely doesn't try to 'show off' her voice a lot - but it's very controlled and smooth. As for the harshes - I mentioned on Patreon, but I was shocked when I heard this song for the first time because I didn't see any of the guys vocalising in the video, and it turns out that she has been practicing and this was the first time she's done the lead harsh vocals for the band! They used to have a couple of the other members do harshes but I think they moved on from the band a couple of albums ago. I was shocked at how deep and old school death metal the harshes were - it's different to Tatiana or some of the more modern harsh vocalists, even Will Ramos, who have a harsh sound that 'cuts through' and is more direct, whereas Cammie's sounds very rumbly and I thought it gave those sections in the song real heft. Glad you enjoyed it! You'll definitely be getting another like Impierial Triumphant... but I'll just keep you on your toes 😜

Liked this a lot even if the bands from Houston..... the town that's the bane of my existence ;-)

Check out Sevendust! They're an amazingly underrated band.

🙂

Swamp Witch pagan….. try some FRAYLE

the singer looks like a professional wrestler but has a lovely voice

demographics wise, as far as i'm aware, metal is still pretty dominated by white dudes, dark skinned metal musicians, female musicians, and especially dark skinned female musicians are more rare. to say nothing of "that's good actually!" or "that's terrible! why are there so many white dudes?!" ofc, you'll get neither from me. these are just the demographics of the genre as far as i'm aware. and that's not to say they aren't out there, they're just not as common. don't have anything to tell ya about the band as i've not heard of them before, like what i'm hearing.

is there any reason she's slung up like a side of beef?
