@@rorybninetythree Sam doesn't write most of the songs. It's either Tom, Dan or Josh. But he had been cited to write Castle In The Air with Tom on LT//LF
Hope everyone enjoys this as much as I did... This was a HUGE treat for me, there are other performances of them at Abbey Road on their channel... Be sure to check them out. I can't believe I didn't see these sooner!!
Thank you, I have heard of the band name before, but never listened to them. The orchestral accompaniment has sold the band to me. Made my first kinda scream sound too so I gotta listen to Sam Cater more. I think I’m getting close by singing “wah geh un” instead of “again”.
Never heard of Architects or Sam Carter. Another reason I come to your channel (aside from improving myself) is to get introduced to new amazing vocalists.
This is soooo good! I've always enjoyed the complexity and nuance within Sam's vocals, and how it adds to the atmosphere and emotions of their songs. Your analysis breaks it down perfectly!
I'm late to your reaction, but not to Architects. You're the first person (that I've seen) to properly analyze, explain, and appreciate Sam's vocals. He uses SO many techniques. Amazing reaction, thank you!
one of my favourites on the new album! his style sounds very intense but he manages to play full shows without passing out so fair to say he mastered his style^^
It’s funny, the more I watch through your analysis and vocal breakdown videos the more all of the tutorial and tips/tricks videos make so much more practical sense. Too many times I take some of the basic concepts and to try get them to fit into something different without fully understanding why it’s not working. These videos help provide an amazing amount of context, so genuinely thank you!
omg all you had to say is chest voice with distortion and my quest to go from full on screamer to rough mixed vocals that has lasted at least the last 5 years and something just clicked. Damn. My problem genuinely was taking too much from my screaming background and lack of confident cleans that had me pushing too hard in the wrong areas - I switch to chest 'speaking' and then using my range of screams to layer it, then all thats left after finding where I want it to be is hitting the pitch. Chris you're amazing man
When you spoke about how some singers make faces when singing the soft stuff, I felt relieved that I wasn’t the only one who noticed it. That’s one of my biggest pet peeves. Johnathan Davis, I love him to death, but he does this a lot. I’ve never heard anyone else talk about it until just now. Thank you.
This is one of the best reaction videos I've watched, the analysis of the different types of vocal techniques he's using is brilliant, I'd love to see you react to Holding Absence "Wilt" at the Heavy Music awards 2020, its an amazing vocal performance
This was a near-perfect performance. My dad raised me on Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Kenny Wayne Shepherd et al., then I got into Iron Maiden. My standards for live performance are so spoiled, and I can't find a single thing to whine about.
Such awesome performances by everyone involved! I have a habit of making crazy faces when I sing, and you make a great point about not being too tense. Definitely going to work on that!
I actually approached singing in a different way than what you told me. I approached screaming and leant my breath control whilst doing so, since in my band I do screaming. However, I immediately seeked professional instruction, and through that, I found your channel and that made me interested with clean singing. I recently got mixed voice down and trying to find ways to solidify my technique and improving the range.
Great vid Chris, really love this song and performance from Sam. If you're wanting to cover a great up and coming vocalist with some pretty good range, I'd check out Noah Sebastian of Bad Omens. Their song Death Of Peace Of Mind would be a fun listen.
Nice analysis Chris and glad you really enjoy Sam's style of vocals, I totally agree alongside Spencer he's totally at the top of this genre. I think I've mentioned before but make sure you check out a band called Holding Absence, their vocalist Lucas is amazing and of a similar style but leaning a little more emo toward MCR/Gerard Way with his influences!
@@chrisliepe Definitely check them out. I have seen them live a few times now and he's a phenomenal singer, he perfectly complements the sound of the band. Has a fair few live performances on RUclips too - check out Gravity at the Heavy Music Awards 2020. Also I assume you're gonna do a video on Vessel from Sleep Token at some point!
Love your videos so much dude I’ve been watching them with my practices daily and it’s really done a lot for me, really means a lot for you to cover sam carter. you should do a video on Jamie Hails and Jake Steinbauser from the band Polaris, they’re very similar but as tenors. The song “All Of This Is Fleeting” is brilliant.
You have videos for almost all the artists (especially those in the crazy-rock-vocals arena)--Sammy Hagar, Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, Benjamin Burnley--name it. Have you done a video on your music influences or tastes? It would be awesome to learn how music has been with you on your journey in life. I've been trying to figure out how to sing Architect style for a little while now, it's crazy you showed this as I just started listening to them last year. I didn't know they were known enough but you always seem to know where to find good vocals and music! Thanks for sharing, I'll definitely try to internalize and practice the screaming techniques here and in your other videos, it's probably the hardest one for me currently. P.s. I was jamming to "Love Someone" on a night drive last night, almost got it down! Great song.🤘
That would make a fun, concise video. What makes what I do so fun for me is that the vocalists you just mentioned ARE my main influences and tastes :) And many others represented regularly on the channel: Gerard Way, Spencer Sotelo, Conor Mason, Jeff Buckley, Freddie Mercury... The "my musical influences" is what actually started the "sing like" series I do on the channel. I like the idea though of making a video specifically about my top 5 influences and why though.. I think that would go over well!
I know im about a week late on this video, but it was great! I know we've looked at some deftones before but ive wondered if you have ever checked out "Knife Prty" by Deftones? Chino hits some crazy high notes that I think I kind of understand but not fully, and they are so incredibly impressive. Would love to see a bit of a dive maybe on that. Love the content, you've really helped me improve my vocals. Thanks!
Hi Chris ! Thank you so much for these videos. They are awesome, they give a really good insight on what singing should be. Is there any chance you'll do a video about Noah Sebastian from Bad Omens ? Thank you again ! Can't wait for the next one ! I bought the stems on Sumerian Records website and I found them very interesting ! Thank again !
@@chrisliepe Thank you Chris ! You are awesome ! Can't wait to see this one ! If you are interested I have the isolated vocal tracks of the album - Finding God Before God Finds Me, if it can help :) !
Great video Chris! First of all: thanks for all your great video's, it helped me a lot getting better and it unlocked my higher screams like you explained in this video. The thing i am working on now is mid and lower screams, which brings me to the guitarist of Architects: Josh Middleton. Maybe it's cool to look into his other band ''Sylosis'', a very underrated band imo. He is very good at those ranges with and without pitch. Check ''I Sever'' or ''Calcified'' for some good examples. I find it hard to get into the right sound without going high and let my voice break into the scream. Maybe you can help ;) Cheers!
@@chrisliepe The third time its clearly all three, but earlier I'm almost sure Sam takes a break. It doesn't matter though, killer performance eaither way.
20:35 you sound like a native Brummie (think Ozzy), well more Black Country maybe. You sound more Black Country than Robert Plant haha. 😂 I had no idea that us Brummies/Black Country folk sound like that because our vowels are backwards. I’m so confused now haha. 🤯
I love your approach and mostly agree. But Sam always leaves me in a state where I feel like there must be an easier approach than it sounds. I feel like that highly-distorted line in the beginning can also be done with a Focus on headvoice. I am not Sure if this is a smart idea...
Chris: "Sam Carter is a very intense singer, and his lyrics are very intense."
Sam Carter fans: "BLEGH"
haha
I believe the most of the recent Architects albums it's actually Dan Searle (the drummer) with the lyric credits!
@@rorybninetythree Sam doesn't write most of the songs. It's either Tom, Dan or Josh. But he had been cited to write Castle In The Air with Tom on LT//LF

There will be a whole album "live at Abbey Road" at the end of March!
You're doing great work chris. Would love more Sam Carter content.
His voice on this is unreal
Agreed!
Never heard of Architects or Sam Carter. Another reason I come to your channel (aside from improving myself) is to get introduced to new amazing vocalists.
Oh he's simply amazing! Glad you're discovering him! ...and the band. This project is really fun
You deserve so much recognition for all these videos. Thanks, Chris!
Glad you like them!
This is soooo good! I've always enjoyed the complexity and nuance within Sam's vocals, and how it adds to the atmosphere and emotions of their songs. Your analysis breaks it down perfectly!
Great analysis, Chris. You should have him as guest on your channel and discuss more on his techniques
I would LOVE that!!
Fun fact: Sam says he doesn't really know how to explain what is happening when he sings!!
I'm late to your reaction, but not to Architects. You're the first person (that I've seen) to properly analyze, explain, and appreciate Sam's vocals. He uses SO many techniques. Amazing reaction, thank you!
The entire concert was amazing. Sam is such a beast.
So good!
Sam Carter Is One of the best Extreme vocalist by now!! He can do anything with his voice and i'm (musically ahah) in love with him 🤘🏻💪🏻🎤
Me too :)
Let's appreciate the sound engineering in this studio and video. Wow.
one of my favourites on the new album!
his style sounds very intense but he manages to play full shows without passing out so fair to say he mastered his style^^

that heads brighter than my future :)
been hoping for a breakdown of this song thanks a lot chris much love
You're very welcome!
This was a near-perfect performance. My dad raised me on Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Kenny Wayne Shepherd et al., then I got into Iron Maiden. My standards for live performance are so spoiled, and I can't find a single thing to whine about.
Ya, these were pretty much flawless yet so emotionally infused... pretty amazing!
Yeah man! Sam Carter is awesome, I'd love to see Sam Carter with you there at the studio someday :)
oh man... me too!!!
That'd be a dream come true
Once again, Chris saving the day with a great video. I've always loved sam's voice
Best teacher reaction to sam out there! im learning a lot from this video. add grit to the chest voice is my weak link. thank chris again!
Thank you Chris,It was amazing
it would be nice to see an analysis on Florent Salfati frontman of LANDMVRKS !! very unique scream chester kinda
omfg yes that's what I thought too! I loveeee LANDMVRKS!!
Didn’t even get three minutes in before liking the video. Your aim to get at the depth of this song in its entirety is right on. 👍🏼
Thanks! So glad you enjoyed the approach and analysis!
Such awesome performances by everyone involved! I have a habit of making crazy faces when I sing, and you make a great point about not being too tense. Definitely going to work on that!
Great video! Very nice tips and info in dynamics and making your voice more interesting.

This is awesome to hear Patrick! Great job internalizing the concepts and making them work for you!
Sam Carter and Spencer Sotelo - Best singers in modern metal
Agreed!
hey come on man, give Courtney some credit...

Would love to hear your take on Winston McCall from Parkway Drive, who’s on the Studio version of this song.
You deserve a LOT more visibility

Great vocal breakdown, would be very cool if you did a vocal breakdown of Dustin bates from Starset
Great idea!
please, sam and dustin are my favorite singers :)
Yess! Love his grit and distortion on songs like Gravity of you or Unbecoming
You should give a listen to Imminence, Paralyzed - Live in Studio
amazing video, i really like all of your explanation :)

Great job! I'll try some of the things you described by myself. I'm sure it'll help out to get better 😬
YES!!!!! More Metalcore 🤘🏽
Please do Landon Tewers, I promise you’ll love him. The emotion on the song pillhead is incredible

Great video Chris
I would like to hear you talking about Danny Worsnop from AA
Great suggestion!
You really ought to take a look at Lajon Witherspoon of Sevendust! He’s incredibly dynamic. I’d recommend their song “trust.”
you could react to some bring me the horizon performances at royal albert hall! that show is straight magical.
That'd be FUN
An artist I'd love for you to examine is Landon Tewers from The Plot In You if you've not focused on him already

Great video Chris!
First of all: thanks for all your great video's, it helped me a lot getting better and it unlocked my higher screams like you explained in this video.
The thing i am working on now is mid and lower screams, which brings me to the guitarist of Architects: Josh Middleton. Maybe it's cool to look into his other band ''Sylosis'', a very underrated band imo. He is very good at those ranges with and without pitch. Check ''I Sever'' or ''Calcified'' for some good examples.
I find it hard to get into the right sound without going high and let my voice break into the scream. Maybe you can help ;)
Cheers!
Me: Casually playing this aloud while cleaning
Chris: suffer sUffer sUFFer SUFFER !
Check out Heartist! The dude has a great mixed voice and his raspy highs are even better.
Both guitarists are singing "We die alone" part, not Sam. I think.
It looked like all three to me? Totally could be wrong!
@@chrisliepe The third time its clearly all three, but earlier I'm almost sure Sam takes a break. It doesn't matter though, killer performance eaither way.
You need to check out Anthony Green from Circa Survive, you would enjoy that very much:))
