Am Tunisian and am very proud of my favorite band Myrath !! thank you so much that you mentioned the berber influence not the middle eastern one !! big love from TUNISIA !!
Myrath is amazing! I really appreciated the video, it's nice to understand what makes Zaher technique so unique. You are awesome Mary, I always learn so much in your videos!
I really enjoyed your thorough breakdown of the differences in western and eastern singing. I would love to see more stuff like this music educational breakdown. Good job, this was very fun! 😀I totally checking this band out after a new appreciation for their skill.
I have just discovered Myrath, wishing I would have so much earlier, but nevertheless here we are. I just can’t get enough of this beautiful, mysterious, mystical sound. I have never heard anyone describe this sound the way that you have in this video. It has definitely sent me down the rabbit hole of the Burbur and Arabic tones and 1/4 scale tones you are speaking of. Thanks you.
YESSSSS, I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS Especially on You've Lost Yourself from 3:25 onwards, the "time is running out" part not only does he sound SO much like Myles but the entire song actually has an Alter Bridge vibe!!!
Wow. I love Myrath and Zaher's voice in particular so I loved this video. So awesome to listen to him and only him without the music. Thank you, I really enjoyed it!! 😉
Wow. I literally just subscribed to you 2 weeks ago (love your videos btw, very knowledgable). This week I find out about this band from you and have now begun following them on spotify! Interesting sound I've never heard before in metal. Thank you so much for what your videos have taught me thus far.
The technique I call it traditional sound. My dad sings the same. He listen to tradiotnal music. And some times he does karaoke. He is a good hobby singer. It's also very used in pop songs for example in Turkey. Zaher is a really good singer. BTW.
I'd love to find a video of just the secluded vocals. His voice is so amazing and the whole band is too but I really want to hear just his vocal tracks for a whole song
I just discovered this video but i wish you played more of his isolated vocals. Too much playing with the instrumental tracks for such an insane underrated voice like his. Thanks for the video anyways!
Now that was a great idea. I would loved to hear more analysis of the song / vocals. And Myrath is aa such underrated band. Btw. They the last band I saw live just a few days before lockdown.
Hello, i'm Tunisian and actually i don't agree on what you said on 7:05 cause Zaher, on that part of the melody, he's not using quarter notes. it's true that Arabic music uses quarter notes but not always. there're scales that use those type of notes like "Rast" "Bayati" etc.. but here in this song, and as i listen to arabic music, i don't feel this type of notes on myrath's songs cause they usually use "Hijaz" which is harmonic minor, phrygian and minor too. they may use "Nahawand" too. so Yeah you sang that part as zaher did but transposed. anyway ! thank you so much on analyzing that song . and you make a good job
This reminds me of the band Evergrey, and their singer Tom Englund. Also, this video was awesome! Super talented singer, and it's very cool that you were able to get the raw content! If i could make a request, I've always been curious about the vocal technique that ryan clark from demon hunter uses, as well as many singers such as David williams, and Jasen Moreno, and of the type.
Fantastic video, have loved Myrath for a few years. The entire band is so talented. I hope you're able to do this style video with other bands, you're doing something very unique. Suggestion: do this style analysis with Roy Khan on Conception's new album. He is "The Voice of God" after all 😁
I didnt know about the eastern scales but I have often used, as an interpretation resource, to make notes slightly sharp to convey some anxiety to the listener in very particular parts of songs. It may sound a bit weird, but most people don't even know it's not the "correct" pitch.
Ey! A band I know this time! I love Myrath, pretty much all they do is amazing. I like folk stuff. That isn't just celtic, that is. Another folk band that I love is the egyptian band Odious. They're almost unbelievably good.
Loved Myrath for so long, Legacy and Shehili are epic albums (I even have Shehili with all the band members signed on it!!!). What I would like you to do, is to try to get same tracks for a song Dance, he is singing insane lines on the chorus and plays with vocals amazingly so it would be great to hear those parts soloed out!!! :))))
He sounds so much like Jorn Lande. His distorsion sounds very similar and he is like a thick cord tenor, with meaty high notes. Also very bluesy style, with a lot of soul/swagger. He reminds me a lot of Jorn :)
@@voicehacks Really? I always though Jorn was a high baritone and Russell a low tenor. How can I tell when they sing high and also use compression / distortion? Also, on a personal note I don't think he sounds like Jorn at all.
@@voicehacks Wait, Russel Allen is a baritone? I can't sing along to pretty much anything he's done as it's so high pitched all the time, and could probably sing an octave lower even on his deepest parts. I'm a baritone myself (not a singer, though, and since dealing with whooping cough I lost my falsetto permanently and also lose more than an octave within an hour of waking up in the morning every day). Symphony X songs are all really high pitched for me as a guy with a fairly medium deep voice. I've heard Zaher go deeper on Myrath's last record than I've ever heard Russel come even remotely close to, and can sing along to more Myrath songs. Russel is singing a lot in girl territory from my perspective (his stuff would oftentimes be a struggle for my mom, who's an alto), as are a lot of famous singers. Tenors seem almost rare in real life, most guys I know don't have high pitched voices at all.
Russell is definitely a baritone with a range of D#2-A5 pretty textbook actually. It is a higher leaning baritone but he has been able to get even lower than D#2 in many settings but it’s just that to be considered consistent range we go with the stronger note of D#2 as the lowest. But a tenor like Zaher can only sing to G2 and aren’t getting anywhere near the D# range. Many baritones have wide ranges and flexible voices. We have to remember that our ranges are only transposed up or down about a 5th from each other. If you can’t keep up with Russell’a high notes it’s a technique issue or you are a lower baritone or a bass and it’s not in your range. You could always transpose it down and see if that works for you.
@@voicehacks It's just that his voice sounds so high as well, for a lack of a better term it doesn't sound very manly when he's using his clean sound (not a bad thing though, he's one of my favorite singers). His timbre just doesn't sound deep at all, quite the opposite compared to most singers I listen to, which is probably one reason why I always perceived him as a tenor. I never considered the possibility that he wasn't. Maybe he sings lower in other projects, I've only heard him in Symphony X and never noticed any low parts (maybe they're there). The ranges are probably a little higher than I expected, Russel "always" sings in what I assumed to be the comfort range for a tenor since it's a few octaves above typical low notes. My lowest recorded note is just a B1, although I can usually only comfortably go down to E or D (again, my voice is broken and easily gets tired). I don't sound like a bass, but given how high the ranges seem to be on paper I may as well be one. I guess some singers just have an extra usable octave before having to use falsetto, so that they're effectively able to cover at least two voice ranges. Many of Russel's notes have to be way above usual baritone range. Edit: Just heard some low speaking notes of his, which is quite surprising as he never really sings lower than low tenor range from what I was able to find. He sounds relatively feminine in his higher register, I guess he just has a decent range. He should use his lower register more IMO, it gets a little tiresome with all male singers trying to sing in what's pretty much female register all the time. Johnny Cash is one of the few who let the low notes shine, although he had quite a range if he wanted to as well.
Hey coach can you react and analyze to Elaine Duran sing Weak Her riff are so insane Even kelly tori cant handle this riff You need this singer to react #request
Well, I'm an Arab but I hate eastern scale. Arabic music as a whole sucks a lot, it's rare to find a good musician or a band. This is my first time hearing this band and I think it's kinda interesting. Can you react to Rasha Rizk and explain what technics she's using? She's one of my favorite vocalists and I learned singing from listening to her so I'd be glad if you do a video about her. This song is a great example on her vocal range and ability ruclips.net/video/gxDOZ0ZToow/видео.html

Yes! I'm soooo glad Myrath is gaining more popularity. I absolutely love this band.
I love the fact that you mentioned the berber influence not just the middle eastern one...
Most underrated band ever
Am Tunisian and am very proud of my favorite band Myrath !! thank you so much that you mentioned the berber influence not the middle eastern one !! big love from TUNISIA !!
From a French and Berber Myrath fan, thanks for giving them exposure and for giving me even more appreciation for Zaher's vocals !
Myrath is amazing! I really appreciated the video, it's nice to understand what makes Zaher technique so unique. You are awesome Mary, I always learn so much in your videos!

Yaaaaay I love Myrath! So glad you've made a video on then! Zaher is great!

I have never heard anyone describe this sound the way that you have in this video.

I’m so happy for you!! Eastern scales are so fascinating!
Saw them at when taking photos at a festival in the Netherlands. He sounds just as good live!
I love Myrath ! The closest western singer I can think of when referring to Zaher is Myles Kennedy, both insane vocal control and layering
YESSSSS, I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS
Especially on You've Lost Yourself from 3:25 onwards, the "time is running out" part not only does he sound SO much like Myles but the entire song actually has an Alter Bridge vibe!!!
loved your enthousiasme towards this band ! its great to find supportive people from all over the world
Thank you for introducing me to myrath I'm now a fan...amazing sound and that what I love about metal music word of mouth u have me a germ
Wow. I love Myrath and Zaher's voice in particular so I loved this video. So awesome to listen to him and only him without the music. Thank you, I really enjoyed it!! 😉

o boii what I'd give to have these stems
wonder if I can actually ask Kevin for them..?
Myrath is sooo underrated
Awesome, love it , thnx :)
thanx! let's get the Adagio's latest album vocal tracks with great Kelly Sundown??? talk to Kevin please
He sounds so much like Jorn Lande. His distorsion sounds very similar and he is like a thick cord tenor, with meaty high notes. Also very bluesy style, with a lot of soul/swagger. He reminds me a lot of Jorn :)
Seba Melmann He also reminds me a bit of Russell Allen but higher pitched haha since Russell is a baritone

@voicehacks what soft you use here ?
I’d really like for you to check out Shayley Bourget from Dayshell he has such a unique style of vocals
Do it on nobody's life please thank you
it's only question of time when you will react to Bruce Dickinson :)
Cant wait myrath go to south east asia
Tunisian original vocal music 🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳
3:33
Anders Friden, In Flames, please.
🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳😍😍😍
Is Zaher Berber Amazigh or Arabized berber Amazigh?
the band told me Berber specifically but I wouldn’t be the authority on that answer
Hey coach can you react and analyze to Elaine Duran sing Weak
Her riff are so insane
Even kelly tori cant handle this riff
You need this singer to react
#request
" noobs "
Well, I'm an Arab but I hate eastern scale. Arabic music as a whole sucks a lot, it's rare to find a good musician or a band. This is my first time hearing this band and I think it's kinda interesting.
Can you react to Rasha Rizk and explain what technics she's using? She's one of my favorite vocalists and I learned singing from listening to her so I'd be glad if you do a video about her.
This song is a great example on her vocal range and ability
ruclips.net/video/gxDOZ0ZToow/видео.html
Why are you afraid to say arab
If you didn't know Tunisia it's an arab country and speak Arabic and I lived in it for five years
Now that was a great idea. I would loved to hear more analysis of the song / vocals. And Myrath is aa such underrated band. Btw. They the last band I saw live just a few days before lockdown.
