Took a vocal lesson with Tom about 6m ago....very down to earth dude and a great teacher! i Absolutely love this album so thankyou for go over this song!
I had the fortune of meeting Tom (My idol) In grand rapids on a tuesday night small show this year. SUPER laid back very friendly and gives a shit that you came out to see them. What a gem
@@danieldavidson5447 yeah, tom's vocals are just as good live too. i saw CG almost one year ago and it was the best time of my life, i bet my mom would say different though lmao
Mark when you said “how their voice can be placed and built differently” I said “built different” out loud right before said it at 19:24 😂 made me laugh, thanks for making my day man. Keep up the good work with these videos 🤘🏼
Love this analysis. Tom Barber is a monster. I really like what you said about vocal cadence sounding like a nursery rhyme sometimes in metal. I really like Alex Terrible because he is great at switching up tempo and tone to avoid that.
This was my favorite on the first lp. Look forward to the second. I saw CG this summer. They were amazing and Tom was super cool. Left with a photo and signed setlist.
Yo, I fux wit ur channel fr fr. Tom Barber is responsible for my renewed love and interest back into heavy shit and doing heavy vox again. Dude is M E A N ! ! ! ✊🏿😤🤘🏿😝✊🏿😤 much luv y'all.
This is definitely my most favorite album as of rn . Tom is an absolute beast. I lost my love of deathcore for a while but Tom brought it back for me hate that they aren’t touring in the us al next year
Everything I’ve ever heard out of Tom Barber’s mouth has made me stank face. ☹️ Dude is a legend, and I’m glad to see him back on the channel! Speaking of guys you need to have back on the channel, Justin from Tallah has dropped new one take videos! You have GOT to check out “Shaken (Not Stirred)”
I saw one of the new band shirts for this album for sale and decided to check out the album after not paying too much attention to the band for a number of years and...let's just say that I bought the shirt immediately after hearing the album. 😂
@Rob Full man totally!! I like that all the songs try to do their own thing. And it sounds very different from darko. But Tom is obviously way better vocally than when there's previous singles came out.
Love the content man! I hope one day to see you react to some newer JFAC, anything off the Sun Eater album really. Jonny Davy is one of my favorite vocalists of all time, and he only got more twisted and demonic in his delivery as the band got better and better too. I know some people dislike his way of enunciation, but I always found it so fitting for the heaviness of the music. He did a live performance with Suicide Silence for Destruction of a Statue that was a pretty good demonstration of where he's at vocally these days, but Sun Eater has so many good tracks that demonstrate his range. Hopefully we get a new album from them soon. I know one was teased a little while back.
That concert was a decade ago, don’t get me wrong, Jonny killed Destruction of a Statue, I was there at the concert. I just wish JFAC would get back together, if they don’t make any new music I’d be fine with that, I just want to see them play live again.
Otep - My Confession, this song is amazing and Otep Shamaya did an amazing job composing and throwing her vocal talents at it. It's an old, old song but I feel like it really deserves a reaction.
Yes he's definitely ahead of the game. Both Darko and Chelsea Grin absolutely jam. What are the odds 🤔 right! Tons of ppl would give a nut to have a band that's mediocre. Also top notch 👌 video as usual. Appreciate you man!

This song slaps I still hope you will one day react to the raven autarchy thirty blood moons would be awesome specially learning how to get those lows either way awesome vid keep it up my guy
So re: the Tom Barber Signature Low™, he talked about it in this music mentors online thing a few years ago. Iirc he said something to the effect of start off making like, the Fat Albert "Hey hey!" sort of noise(safely, of course) and then layer the distortion over that.
Such a good guy on vocals. If you have time, take a look at Stained In Rot by Ov Sulfur, such a crazy good song, and that end breakdown had me doing stank face. Ricky has some good vocals, and if he’s available- maybe get him to break down his vocals.
Such a sick song and album. Deathcore is definitely getting a bit "same-y"... but that's just what happens when a handful of bands within a genre have so much more success than the rest, right? Everyone wants to be like those bands. Right now, deathcore bands either want to be like Lorna Shore, Chelsea Grin, Shadow of Intent, Brand of Sacrifice or Darko... which just makes those being imitated stand out even more, to me at least.
To touch on something you said at the end, I think art is completely subjective but that doesn’t mean there can’t be any objectivity within that space. It’s almost like math: the core axioms are arbitrary, but the conclusions of those first principles are not. Some people listen to music just because it’s catchy background noise, some people like technicality, some like atmosphere, emotion, etc. So you can say “this music is good/bad”, if you clarify the angle that your approaching from. Usually we just express this with the word “preference” which implies our own subjective tastes without explicitly stating them, but it would also be fair to say, “I think black metal is better than death metal because I like atmosphere” or “black metal is bad because I like production quality.”
I can't get enough Tom Barber content. Chelsea Grin is fine and good, but his vocals on Darko US... is just... on another level, and I've become a shameless fanboy. It's literally just stuck in my brain for weeks now. I have a chronic case of stankface as a result of listening to Darko nonstop. Send help
Could we ever see an interview with Scott lewis from carnifex? I do believe entirely his vocals are quite unique and I think you would agree if u listen to the their song “slit wrist saviour -graveside edition” would love to see it on the channel!!
Band reccomendation: Kanonenfieber its a single guy from germany, who works a normal 40h job, but did this as a projekt with an historian friend, to represent ww1 letters in his songs
Please, do a vocal analysis to: Beyond Deviation - White Noise or 10,000 (hopefully a co-reaction w/ Gui) In Gloom - God the Animal ft. Kyle Anderson Our Common Collapse - Brought Beneath Monasteries - Digital Suicide Littledidweknow - I am Robot Machine
I believe tom is super talented no doubt about but for some reason Tom’s tones for the longest time now have just don’t done it for me. Don’t know what it is but regardless of it being darko or Chelsea grin, just something hasn’t clicked with his voice and my ears. Still super versatile and talented vocalist no doubt
Tom is the deathcore king right now. Everything he does, rips.
Killing it in Darko US and Chelsea Grin!
Guranteed
Darko’s latest album is sooooo groovy
Not a big fan of them but this song *S* *L* *A* *P* *S*
Mehhhh
One of the most unique vocalists I’ve ever heard. No one sounds like him.
A lot of people who use fry sound like him.
@@matin2825 nope lol
@@matin2825 not even close lol
@@matin2825name a single one.
Also I’d say my most unique vocalist is David of SOTS. His nasty low gurgle gurgles are instantly recognizable.
Took a vocal lesson with Tom about 6m ago....very down to earth dude and a great teacher! i Absolutely love this album so thankyou for go over this song!
Also when he mentioned doing "gutturals" he uses a "Peewee Herman" voice to tap into them and without a doubt has helped lot!
11:48 You nailed that. I've never heard anyone make a scream that sounds so much like Tom Barber...besides Tom Barber
Haha, thanks! It's all just science at this point!
Mark: “Tom thanks for not bleghing.”
Tom at 21:42 “blegggghhhhh” lol
Haha, true. It was bound to happen!
I had the fortune of meeting Tom (My idol) In grand rapids on a tuesday night small show this year. SUPER laid back very friendly and gives a shit that you came out to see them. What a gem
This is probably the best thing they’ve done since Tom joined the band.
This comment aged extremely well, given the release of Suffer in Heaven.
Meaning Heaven is probably AOTY for me.
After watching this vid I checked out their new songs and found out Tom is the vocalist of DarkoUS which blew my mind. Super versatile
the guitarist/drummer used to be in emmure
@@Crazyclay78YT And he is killing it in Darko and in Spite! Both of them are incredible musicians
@@danieldavidson5447 yeah, tom's vocals are just as good live too. i saw CG almost one year ago and it was the best time of my life, i bet my mom would say different though lmao
he was also the original vocalist for lorna shore!

Love this analysis. Tom Barber is a monster. I really like what you said about vocal cadence sounding like a nursery rhyme sometimes in metal. I really like Alex Terrible because he is great at switching up tempo and tone to avoid that.
Tom is easily one of the most unique and recognizable harsh vocalists out there.
Saw CG with Tom on the last Warped Tour. They ripped and the new stuff they've been putting out is awesome.
This was my favorite on the first lp. Look forward to the second. I saw CG this summer. They were amazing and Tom was super cool. Left with a photo and signed setlist.
Yo, I fux wit ur channel fr fr. Tom Barber is responsible for my renewed love and interest back into heavy shit and doing heavy vox again. Dude is M E A N ! ! ! ✊🏿😤🤘🏿😝✊🏿😤 much luv y'all.
best deathcore vocalist period, from bone kingdom to this masterpiece, everything this guy touches turn to gold.
One of the best.*
@@Jens_Roadster sure thing, the right formulation would be my favourite
Him and guys like ian bearer, ben duerr, dickie allen, kyle anderson
@@EMBALMENGRAVE_OFFICIAL also Will Ramos, Alex Terrible, CJ McMahon and Joe Bad.
@@Jens_Roadster yessss cj mcmahon doesnt get enough love
Great album, great band, great vocalist. Good video too, very informative.. going to look forward to future ones!
This is definitely my most favorite album as of rn . Tom is an absolute beast. I lost my love of deathcore for a while but Tom brought it back for me hate that they aren’t touring in the us al next year
Would love to get a tier list of song you reached to and actually loved and didn’t
Best blegh I’ve heard in a long time 🎉

I saw people complaining about this first half of the album but I think there is so many good tracks. Mourning hymm is my favorite
I agree really good stuff, reminds me of OG Chelsea Grin but with a unique twist. Doesn’t sound like they’re trying to just do Desolation of Eden 2.
@Rob Full man totally!! I like that all the songs try to do their own thing. And it sounds very different from darko. But Tom is obviously way better vocally than when there's previous singles came out.
Weird I liked the whole album start to finish!
@@danieldavidson5447 I just wasn't super feeling flood lungs and the album title track. I don't think they are bad tho
I like the idea of a dark fantasy story where people or maybe a select few people actually have to go on a quest to literally find their voice.
As you eloquently put it, what a fucking chad!
He is a talented vocalist

@@d.j.casanova960 they're currently working on a album.
1 of the best Chelsea grin songs I've ever heard.
@9:46 "this song f... hits!" Holy cow that killed me lmao
one of the most unique deathcore techniques and vocals in the world! 🤘🏻tom’s the man! no one sounds like him!!
Tom's vocals makes my wee wee tingle (had to make it its own comment) love your reactions bro \m/ (-_-) \m/
Otep - My Confession, this song is amazing and Otep Shamaya did an amazing job composing and throwing her vocal talents at it. It's an old, old song but I feel like it really deserves a reaction.
I'll check it out!

Tom is the nicest dude you’ll ever meet to
Mork is ripped af on that one shirt!
Time to order one!
And rest in peace chair. You are missed.
You should check out Darko's Caliber TV videos that are basically one takes of his vocals. Theyre nuts!
those merch designs look awesome!
Travis Ryan also slings gutterals around like mids.
Wish you could get Tom on the channel!! Great vid!!
Rutishauser knows how to chug. Dude used to do some guitar programming for CG before he joined.
21:30 your reaction here makes me laugh so hard lol
I like the design,Mark!
This song slaps I still hope you will one day react to the raven autarchy thirty blood moons would be awesome specially learning how to get those lows either way awesome vid keep it up my guy
Hell yeah ! I love this album!
Honestly might be the nastiest blegh I’ve ever heard.
You should do praise the sun by Darko Us it's the biggest dark souls love letter I'm sure you would appreciate it Mark

Absolute beast of an album
Check out Crown Magnetar.
Thats a badass band

Sometimes I forget we're actually listening to music here. I get so into concentrating on Mark's vocal teacher time 😂

I love the highs
Check out "suffer in Hell", the last rack of the album, the entire song is a non stop breakdown 🤘

Leave my vase alone! :P
Can you break down the New Ne Obliviscaris song. I like when you talk clean vocals too
Sherriff when Im with you. Pages like you are who I want to react the most (it's 100% about the vocals)
Can we just appreciate that fucking guitar tone???

Sounds interesting - I'll check it out!
19:00 Peter Griffin entered the chat

He’s even better live bro 🤯
Please can you do orphan - dying light, would absolutely love to see your face hearing the vocals
Please analyze "Red Dot Sight" by To The Grave
i compare that special sound of Tom's as a guttural burp in sound
14:42 That's a trochee: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trochee
you gotta check out any new song off the darko album!
I'll check it out!
NEAT😂
Next time I say "wow" ... 😆😆
Nursery Metal is a Genre now :v

In Gloom - God the Animal ft. Kyle Anderson
Our Common Collapse - Brought Beneath
Monasteries - Digital Suicide
Littledidweknow - I am Robot Machine
100% the best song on the album.
Definitely hear death metal
kardavox discord hangouts are sick, but like the videos, your chairs will be destroyed.
He constantly gets overshadowed by Will Ramos, who is great, but I take Tom anyday over Will. Just my preference.
YESSS IM FINALLY A CHICKEN TENDER OF THE INTERNET
Congratulations.
12:28 what are you drinking from such a big bottle?
Gotta stay hydrated!

That's my dad
hi! new viewer! i was wondering if you would react to Resistor By Babirusa, no worries if not, thanks for the cool content!
Thanks for watching - I'll check it out!
This song makes me punch air.
I sent an email a couple weeks ago but never got a response :(
Also Sabaton
Janky 😂
Only ever heard that word living down south in NC.
Deathcore is getting a little boring with the saturation of bands. It's time for deathmetal to come back :D
