exactly, thats why i hate people who say that metal makes people violent, its the complete opposite, the whole point is to soothe you and is basically a form of just ventin and expressin your emotions.
@@reloadedpage8222 Music is something different to everybody. No two people will be struck in the same way by a song. But all of the studies that have been done show that there is no correlation between media consumed and violent out bursts. It just snow flakes that universally think they know what bring the most happiness.
it's so underappreciated, look at bands like Napalm Death and Cannibal Corpse they have been doing this since the late 80s, the amount of skill, endurance, and stamina to perform at this level is phenomenal.
Beth, as a nearly 40 year old metal guy you nailed it for me with your comment about (paraphrase) "if it sounds like noise, you're not listening." I've said that sooooooo many times and its great to hear someone not totally steeped in the bands and culture say the same thing. Love your reactions and keep the ROAR alive!
I've been trying to learn for like a year, and I only recently figured out how to do false cord distortion. Most people pick it up a lot faster than I did lol. Once I did figure it out, I found the basic mechanic behind it isn't that difficult to do but to get it to sound good takes a LOT of practice and effort. Alex Terrible (the singer of this song) had been doing distorted vocals for about 14 years by the time this song was written and released, and he is definitely amazing and talented.
@@darmakx99 I do distorted vocals for 13 years and i'm not even nearly as good as Alex, mainly because I used a wrong technique for about 10 years and it got me off road (nothing dangerous for my vocal cords but I had not enough "power" on my vocal back then), but yeah, once u figure it out it takes only a lot of pratice but you will become good if you pratice enough
Most people need a lot of time to learn how to activate their false cord's distortion and also learn how to use their diaphragm, plenty of people will never be able to do what u hear here. There are 3 layers on this video just so u know.
To do it safely is the key. It took me years to learn most of the styles, and for being a metal head for closing in on 20 years i still cant to some things comfortably. The "fry" and or "false chord" is what most people learn first because it is the most common to hear in metal vocals. Be safe when learning, and if it hurts, stop, and try a different approach. It will be uncomfortable at first, but eventually youll find a technique that works. Great example. When i do a "pig squeal" i actually inhale to make the noise, because the twisting needed to it with an exhale just doesnt work for me. To most people it may just sound like scratchy growls, but there is real technique behind these sounds. Alex here can do most of the sounds of a metal vocalist but he is best known for his low low "gutterals", and more so for something called "tunneling". Whats most amazing his how fluently he can switch between all the sounds. There are times in some of his songs that he switches from a tunnel into an almost clean sound, then back again within maybe a note or two and that my friends...... is pure madness
Baba Yaga, Bonebreaker Live, BFG division and 1984 are all amazing songs by them to react to Edit: yes I’m aware BFG division is covered by Alex and from the doom soundtrack
"An aggressive cuddle!" 💙 Beth, if you can handle this, you can handle most things. I feel that the excellent groove throughout makes it surprisingly enjoyable for some who might not normally be attracted to music like this. I love how you got into it! Love the channel.
Beth - your open mindedness to check out and analyse all kinds of music is so refreshing and is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the range of your musical intellect
Awesome reaction. I love how into it you are. Most channels who are not familiar wit STP act scared or afraid of them. All of these guys are freakin' talented.
You are the first reactor I have seen that was totally genuine, your face, the flapping hands, completely real. Not only did you totally get it but you didn't talk down to anyone. Loved the video ❤ please make more
Hi! You should check out Necrophagist. They were a technical death metal band from Germany in the late 90s-early 00s and they were insanely technically proficient. Would love to see your reaction to "Ignominious and Pale" or "Stabwound." They just disappeared around 2010 and nobody has heard a thing from them since. The guitarist, Suicmez, wrote all of the instruments and performed them on the first album - which is absolutely insane - and he has a crazy unique sound as he was influenced by classical music and early death.
You’re not alone in finding this soothing. I’ll listen to metal like this at the gym of course, and to help me relax and destress. It’s weird but it works, for me at least
How you described your ideal setting of listening to this type of music is literally what we Metal Heads do. I do believe you are truly enjoying Metal and that makes us all enamored to see :) Thank you SO much for giving our music a shot Beth! I enjoyed these reaction vids of yours.
Oh Beth, you would _love_ Lorna Shore. Their song "To the Hellfire", especially the last one minute starting at the 5 minute mark, has absolutely mind blowing vocal work. EDIT: Thank you to a reply comment who mentioned Beth's already reviewed "To the Hellfire". Definitely worth a watch if you're reading this 🤘
@@KoryQ oh my! And recently too! Thank you, internet stranger. Not sure how I missed that one. Just watched it now. Beth's reaction is everything I'd hoped for and more 🤘
Your the first person I've seen react to detahcore and say it's soothing. That makes me so happy, I haven't been a metal head long but I love the genre so much. It's in my gym playlist, and I sometimes sleep to it.

I've heard a lot of people accuse him of adding effects in post to get that crazy low growl. Not true. He's got streams on RU-vid from his home that's just him, a mic, a camera and his computer. I don't think he's from this planet but his voice has made him iconic.
There is a clip of him yelling "Demolisher" live without the mic filmed from pretty far back in the crowd if you look up "Demolisher no mic" on YT. You can clearly hear him. He doesnt use any vocal effects to achieve that sound. Its awesome.
If you're after that Zen metal trance, I'd definitely recommend Meshuggah or Strapping Young Lad. They're got some fantastic back-catalogues and have amazing (and very different) vocal qualities
Having just seen them this past weekend, I can say without a doubt that Alex Terrible is a beast. That low breakdown sounds the same live, he's the real deal.
You were so cute when you got excited and pumped up, like a little kid in the lilly shop. Yes this music gives you energy. And relaxes in a cathartic kind of way at the same time. Im glad you can see it.
lorna shore def worth a watch, to the hellfire is their song that blew up with reactions, but honestly and of wills one takes are amazing. also getting like vocal coaches perspective on when will and thecharismaticvoice did the throat recording some of his sounds would be cool to see
Im so glad to hear that this type of music makes someone else relaxed and want to tear up their living room in a home made single person mosh pit all at the same time. I’m 55 and it just keeps getting worse. Thank god bands like Slaughter are out there so so I can get my fix. This woman is a rare find!
I always love what metal does to people, more people need to give it a chance. I’ve been listening to metal since 1980, I’m now 56 and absolutely love today’s modern metal, Slaughter to Prevail and Meshuggah, Gojira are some of my favorites
Beth : Your lovey face was a pinball trapped between paddles and bumpers labeled "Fear", "Astonish", "Shock", "I Feel Your Pain" "Here, you feel MY Pain" "Full KONG Mode" "Ooooh that's the____ " and "Pigs? Who invited the pigs?" In other words, the same reaction we all had the first time we hears Slaughter To Prevail This song has been on my "Machete the Thistle Weeds in the Pasture" List for a good while. Listening to these folks with sharp implements in your hands is not recommended, lol. Love your content. Best of times to you.
There is some contention around harsh vocals being pitch less. Someone already commented about them being a bandwidth of noise with a movable centre and for pure fry/false vocal that's true, but true phonation can be added to blend noise with pitch. Alex does this on Made in Russia specifically and there's plenty of vocalists that add fry to their true phonation.
He does this live and often will pull the mic away for the "DEMOLISHER" part and it sounds exactly like it does in the video, more or less. Alex is a beast.
Beth, I recommend reaching for a bit more "classic" version of "deep" growl, I recommend Cannibal Corpse "Evisceration Plague", including this and no other song by the band because it is quite "calm" (calm , i mind 🤣🤣)
Would love to see you react to any Seven Spires song! “Gods of Debauchery” is one that gets a lot of YT reactions, but it truly is a fantastic place to start for one’s first time hearing them. Her voice isn’t as downright demonic as Alex Terrible, but she can do a huge range of distortion styles AND crisp cleans.
I'd have never thought, in all my days, I'd find such a sweet young lady, giggling to hardcore death metal, and describing it as "a cuddle". It must have happened, I've now seen it all, I've reached the end of the internet... RIP to your beloved queen.😥
