Shadow Of Intent - "The Heretic Prevails" - Reaction 

Yooooooooo. Never would’ve thought you ladies will react to this track. Even before watching I have a feeling that jaws will be dropped, “holyshit meter” will be off the charts and expectations exceeded. Let’s freaking go! Edit: the low vocals are called growling and the high ones - screaming. At 8:03 the sound that he makes is called pig squeal which is another extreme vocal technique. The mix of 2 (growl and scream) on the track is called layering. Basically a vocalist records the same track or a particular part of the track couple of times with different techniques and then they put one layer on top of another in the mixing process. That gives the sound fullness and massiveness. A really good example of layering can be heard in “To The Hellfire” by Lorna Shore (not sure if you reacted to it or not, if not - defo check it out, also there’s a vocal one take by Will Ramos, it is even more impressive, you can react to it as well). Edit 2: reaction totally lived up to my expectations. Well done ladies! Edit 3: can you please react to “Off The Abyss” by Lorna Shore? This track is extremely underrated yet it’s my favorite off of the recent EP they dropped. Would love to hear what your opinions on this damn masterpiece.

So glad you ladies decided to react to this! It's so brutal but kinda beautiful and melodic as well. The keys help alot

High screams are usually called screech's or shreaks, lows are growls or gutterals. Keep it up ladies 👍🤘

There are a couple of voice coaches who actually go into some good detail about these types of vocals. Julia Nilion (may have butchered her last name) and the Charismatic voice. The best one for both I believe is their reaction to Lorna Shore To the Hellfire. Great reaction! Keep up with these awesome metal reactions!

Low vocals are often called Growls/Gutturals. they can both utilize the Vocal Cords and False cords... Falsecords are a little more deeper, lower, slow vibration... the distortion is more slower and less smooth sounding, It's basically going back to caveman like animalistic speech where you don't really activate the true vocal cords which are used to sing/speak with... it's like the growly sound you do when you sigh heavily, or clear your throat... or if you try barking like a dog... where as Fry/Vocal Cord Growls/Gutterals sound a little more Static, faster distortion, more clean and tend to sound a little more spoken and smooth as they use the true vocal cords, the part of the voice we speak/sing with. I believe this vocalist uses a mixture of both techniques. you can do the same with the high screams. which are usually done with the Vocal Cords/Fry. high falsecord variations tend to sound a lot more nasty... chaotic, less controlled, they sound more Zombie like... usually less pleasing on the ears though a lot of us like that. the cool thing about falsecords is that you tend create heavy overtones/undertones, and with the right technique you can almost make it sound like two different pitches/voices at once.

Ben is a beast of a vocalist! Really enjoy your guy's videos! 🖤🖤

That is the single sickest vocal breakdown ever recorded

that breakdown at the end always gives me the chills. so good

I love seeing your smile now! 😃 this world is amazing !

Yeah they layered/looped two vocals at several times for effect.

Ben is an incredible vocalist, the breakdown was done in a single take!

There’s a RU-vid channel called kardavox academy that actually did an interview with Ben duerr and talked about his vocal techniques. That’s the channel that I started learning how to scream from!

As always i enjoyed YOU very much! Thanks!

Shadow of Intent is a band you've gotta hear more of. Amazingly talented in every aspect, and they just seem to get better over time. Also, I'd add, I say Ben Duerr is THE BEST extreme vocalist, in my opinion.

You will love black metal!!

I love it how these bands cause such physical reactions

Loved the reaction!! Y’all should check out “From Ruin….. We Rise” from shadow of intent too! A masterpiece of a song as well!!

In VAariaious terms we just call it what it sounds like or what animal sounds the closest usually animals, Slaughter to prevail is Bear Dominant, Amon Amarth is Viking Warrior, Lorna Shore / Shado of Intent is Gollum/Camel/Pig Squeels.

This track is fokken insane. I,m not a huge fan of this genre in particular, but I LOVE It, It, s so epic

The Kardavox Academy pretty breaks this down to the atom on his channel.

Wait a minute, those growls at 2:09 were actually sick!!!

What you are referring to where you hear the highs and lows at the same time is called vocal layering. Every.Single.Artist. Does it. In every genre, it makes the vocals sound more full. So in the studio sometimes they’ll record right and left “called panning vocals”. They’ll most of the time layer 4 vocal layers mean two takes of high and two takes of lows.

Fun fact:Ben Duerrs 2 biggest vocal influences are Shagrath from Dimmu Borgir and Silenoz from Septic Flesh yo yeehaw!

Such a great band Shadow of Intent are. You two should definitely react to the guitarist's other band Currents. The vocalist in that band is also extremely talented and does amazing clean vocals. Some of their best songs to start with imo is Forever Marked and Kill the Ache, both with videos.

Oh shit! I can't believe I missed this notification!!! Thanks for doing this.

The guitarist is also the guitarist for the band Currents. Amazing band

Love your videos. Wish they didn't keep getting blocked/striked.

Welcome back an so glad to see you girls back at. Great band an song. This songs has a little holiday feel in the beginning. Also parts of song reminds me of Cradle of Filth Keep up the good work girls an looking forward to more reactions .

God, I love this song

Might be a bit much for you, but Methwitch Burn Victim is on the upper limit of heaviness for me. Also the vocal styles mostly used are the false Chord, which can be used across the whole range. The other most common is the fry vocals/scream.

For lower pitched vocals its usually called gutterals and growls, for higher pitched they're usually called screeches

Lyrics require translation from Mordor or goblin and cave troll😆 love it

More Jinjer please! Check out their songs and AV VORTEX and then Wallflower from their new album. It's been way too long since you ladies had Tatiana on your screen. They just played shows in Florida. Orlando on Nov. 30, Tampa on Dec. 1 and Pensacola on Dec. 2nd.

There's not really a term for the transition as far as iam aware but that's just how they are. They just do that, which is part of the appeal

You lovelies🖤🖤🤗🤗

I'm in love with Ari

There amazing live next time there in town go see them there def amazing live ❤ Ben's a mf beast live❤❤

When you hear more than one vocal its just called vocal layering

The answer is Layering 🙂

Father demon: Did you clean your room? Son demon: But dad.. I just did that the other day.. let me play outsiiiiiiiiide

React to "where millions have come to die" by shadow of intent... their recent switch from " symphonic deathcore" to "symphonic death metal" is insane

It's called "Layering"

Ben Duerr's screams are mostly all based in false chord but what type of scream varies from pig squeals to gutturals

I'm in love with you Ari

now you gotta check out "from ruin... we rise" by them, :D

You guys need to check out Worm Shepherd. The best blackened deathcore band in the game right now. I highly recommend their track ‘Ov Sword and Nail’. The vocalist Devin has like 10 different vocal ranges and styles.

I'm a big fan of this song but I have to admit I do the same tujng visa vi the demon thing. Picture a big and small demon arguing haha

Arii 🥰🥰

Nice reaction! React to more Deathcore and related (Chelsea Grin, Born of Osiris, Lorna Shore, Slaughter to Prevail, Thy Art is Murder, etc.) and also react to progressive metal and related (Dream Theater, Symphony X, Haken, Epica, TesseracT, etc.)! I think you'll like it....

Love your Reaction. I think u gonna love the Songs "Thank you Pain" and "In Vertigo" from The Agonist :D!

Of the abyss by lorna shore

Vocal folds of your larnyx and pharynx

This band has improved so much u should check out saurian king or of fury

What did y’all end up rating the song? I was distracted and missed it.

Love the video! You guys should check out spirit box

You should check out some Archspire. Fastest band in existence! The vocals are honestly so fast that people have trouble keeping up with lyric videos. With that in mind, Bleed the Future is one of my favorites. Enjoy!

Anyone familiar with a deathcore band Begging for incest?

Gorgeous women and metal. Can't go wrong. Nice reaction

I believe you two still didn't react to Eskimo Callboy. Start with "We got the moves". You won't be disappointed

gotta check out 'From Ruin We Rise' by them next

You can actually do that with your voice, though I have no idea how it's done.

yeah cool song n all, but like I still just have the biggest crush on LeAnne. mama mia 🤤❤

Listen to "Farewell" and "Life of Exile" from their new albums, two of their better songs.

Please do lorna shore songs, (To the hellfire, Of the abyss, Death Portrait are some that I would highly recommend)

God, you two are sooooo freaking cute 😍😍

Fry scream

😈❤‍🔥

Ily

Highs or fry screams, gutturals(lows)

You should check out latest Lorna Shore EP. All of 3 songs are great.

Too Bad the right Lady is laughing about this Kind of Talent

So y’all just gonna comeback and react to shadow of intent?? Lol

Are you guys umm a couple? =)

watched 'cos I like these girls, never heard of this band, no idea... 2..41 of my life wasted!

The black lady is considering a new hobby eh?

Do Northlane - Echo Chamber. Just came out recently.
