@@matthewstayancho3454 When I heard the melody I was so curious that where I heard that piano melody but for me, it was not Layla, it was a score from a game called The Shadow of Mordor, track name "the gravewalker". ruclips.net/video/xQ9OpOJOEWs/видео.html
So, I have seen prob 100s of Spiritbox reactions and I had to actually pause this one when he hit the keys. Hearing something I am now already so familiar with broken down and played like this? Incredible. Got them shivers like whoa. Thanks for this!!!
For me, the first time I heard female melodic/clean and extreme vocals was in 1999 with a band called Kittie. They came on the scene super young and they are one of the OGs along with Otep and Angela Gossow (Arch Enemy)
Kittie started in 1996, so she must have been one of the first. Shame she gets so overlooked in favour of jinjer and the rest. I think her harsh vocals were far superior to Tati’s.
As people have stated in response to the early female singers/screamers,there is of course Angela Gossow of Arch enemy and Kittie but also Tairrie B from Tura satana/ My ruin and early 90's there was all. Female band Babes in toy land, but that's not so much the growl but certainly a heavier female vocal for its time.
You’re going to get this a lot... but the one take vocal performance of this song is really great for seeing Courtney in action and up close... and her vocal is louder in the mix... :)
Otep Shamaya of Otep was the first female singer I heard that mixes singing and growling. I'm not 100% sure she was the first, but she's an OG. Tatiana/Jinjer lists her as an influence in several interviews. Check out Otep - Ghostflower
She was the first I heard as well. I remember hearing Otep at Ozzfest 2002 while I was walking onto the Playstation truck and looking to the stage thinking, "woah! who is this guy?" I walked off the truck and immediately to the stage, bought Sevas Tra that day.
I would say one of the first that got popular because of her clean and growls is Alissa White-Gluz when she was in her first band ''The Agonist'' you could check their song Thank You Pain. Alissa is currently in Arch Enemy.
She wasn't the first, Angela Gossow was already in Arch Enemy at the time, and both came after Frederica, of "White Skull", that was the first woman I heard doing a rasp/gutural sing, in their 1999 album "Tales From The North" ruclips.net/video/K5YEc6_-ff0/видео.html
All I know is when someday we get past Covid and have concerts again I want to see a tour with Jinjer, Infected Rain and Spiritbox. Someone make this happen!
First time I heard female harsh and melodic like this was with a band called Arch Enemy back in the early 2000s (maybe 2001'ish) Angela Gossow (thank you wikipedia). Just found this band, and am enjoying them with my daughter who's an extremely talented vocalist.
tbh if i were to choose, i'd recommend something off of Two. Calcutta for example. imo its significantly more melodically and musically dense than either of those two, but they do slap though for sure. The Offering is a fantastic track
Just correcting one of the pop up facts: Courtney was born in Alabama, she moved to Canada when she was 15 or so. Source: ruclips.net/video/o0OEu3MQMTs/видео.html
And to answer to your question about female singer screaming in metal, one of the first world-known and respected is Angela Gossow, ex-singer of Arch Enemy !
Check out the song "New Faces in the Dark" by Loathe. They're a metalcore outfit from Liverpool. Courtney actually tweeted that they put out her favorite metal album this year. They mix metal with groove, shoegaze, jazz and more
The first woman I can think off to really make a name for herself screaming was definitely Morgan Lander of Kittie. She was doing it way back in the 90s. After Morgan was probably Otep Shamaya. I'm sure there are others who did it first, but Morgan and Otep were for sure the first to get major recognition as female screamers.
Dude! I think you would appreciate The Mara Effect by Spiritbox. It is 3 songs that go together - Parts 1, 2 and 3, specifically the live at Silverside Sound Studios video. The instrumentation, musicianship and Courtney's dynamic and emotional vocals are just incredible. Love your reactions! If you reacted to The Mara Effect I would click on that video so fast... do it!
I love how you were about to say something and then Courtney starts screaming haha! I just discovered this band a few days ago and had a similar reaction. Awesome.
Dude, I love your analysis. Especially the fact that you just love music and you go into this stuff with complete openness. Metal and metalcore and prog metal kind of stuff in this area is my favorite. A lot of people just tend to in my opinion, not give it enough credit. You just showcase the musicianship of bands like Spiritbox and break it down in such a way like no other. You deserve way more subs man. Thanks for all the knowledge you share with us! :)
"Trust Fall" or "The Mara Effect" live, they are more complex then Holy Roller. And if you like a live vocal video, I recommend "The Beauty Of Suffering" to have another song.
As soon as you cut to playing the song on the piano and breaking down the chords explaining what they did I hit that subscribe button so fast!! Awesome review! Can’t wait to watch your other videos!
"did you lose the fight with the bear" made me crack up. she actually was a sub vocalist for that band and she didn't feel like it was her own so she left with mike. when you tried to talk right before she went into her screaming I was waiting for your surprise reaction and it was great. her enunciation is amazing in all her songs. also I'm on their patreon and I'm gonna send this link so other spiritbox fans/maybe the band themselves can check out your video!
She originally was hust a fill in vocalist after Krysta left unexpectedly. After performing Warped with them, she became a permanent member. A year or so later, Mike, who had been a fill in on guitar for a few tours, also became permanent. They never left IWABO. The original guitarist told them they couldn’t use the band name anymore, or perform any of the songs he wrote. The band broke up.
iwabo was never the right fit for her. They should have just stopped when Krysta had to leave, cause they're two vastly different experiences. Also original iwabo slaps, and spiritbox slaps too
Perennial by Spiritbox is an awesome one to react to, but would definitely recommend that you check their live performance of The Mara Effect Live at Silverside Studio first!
This was a great reaction video. Great analysis and you even showed us just how deeply you understand complex music by breaking it down to the chords on the piano. Awesome dude.
I’m so glad you’re finally checking on Spirit box. There’s so many different flavors of them song wise. Thanks for the great video! 🖤🖤🖤 P.s. Courtney was born and raised in the USA and moved to Victoria when she was 13. She’s applying for dual citizenship soon. She talks about it in a podcast called Lead singer syndrome.
“I’ll say...” Courtney: no you won’t. You will headbang! Instantly subbed after the video. Reaction channels are cool but reaction channels where you teach people stuff...spot on. Thanks for the video and sharing your experience! I’ll be watching the rest and spreading your channel to some buds! Ps. Always laughed when you edited the camera work for your sniffles and coughs...hahaha.
wow you are amazing .. wish I had teachers like you going up !!! i just got ones telling me my music is annoying AHAHAHAHA and then self taught after. What she is doing is called FALSE CHORD screaming (blowing out, open throat, vibrating the vocal flaps and NOT THE VOCAL CHORDS to make the sound. Its the more healthy way to scream). Similar to the Tibetan throat singers but harsher. You control the pitch with your throat width and lips (embouchure) mainly. sometimes air flow and diaphragm. Low = super open throat, wide open "O" shaped, deep and protruding lips, slow air flow from diaphragm. high pitch = everything is the opposite ... literally. FRY screaming is another way (sucking in and can be VERY unhealthy because it VERY HARD to do in a healthy way and control). I also think this way sounds bad too. HOPE THIS HELPS !!!!!!!! LOVE THE CHANNEL
I'd probably say Angela Gossow was the first woman to do harsh metal vocals, or at least among the very first to do so. She was active from 1991 - 2014, 2014 being when she stopped being the vocalist for the band Arch Enemy. I hope she starts up a new metal project, she said in 2018 she wanted to do something new since she hasn't been active in so long.
Love the break down of the chords and key they were in during the chorus. Info like that really sets you apart. Also your piano playing is great. Would love to see your take on the band Nightwish, with the song Ghost Love Score, Live at Wacken 2013. Really interesting composition with key and time signature changes with the bands keyboardist doing alot of the heavy lifting with string and choral pads. Also their lead vocalist is really amazing. Cheers
I don’t know who was the first female singer to do grunts in metal, but I do know a band that has been doing it for a long time: Arch Enemy. Check out their song “We Will Rise” for starters.
And so glad to hear a music teacher explaining in a very simple way why screamings make sense in music. "To get emotions you/she couldnt get with the other voice". Exactly on point. When some people tell it's "noise, not music" or things like these, they do not understand that when you have a wide range of possibilities you must use it to get a wide range of results, and its about emotions. Metal music generally tells sad/angry/political/emotional stories so it's just logical for this music to use screamings, violent tones, dissonance sometimes. Its existentialism's music in a way. Just take a look at "panasonic youth" by The Dillinger Escape Plan and read the lyrics. It's relevant to get a strange rythm, a violent atmosphere and crazy screamings. You can also get it by watching Lost in Vegas reaction video for "Farewell Mona Lisa" by this same band The Dillinger Escape Plan. Even those guys, being former rnb/rap listeners can get the meaning and relevance of it all. So just for people used to say extreme metal music is noise only, not music, try a little bit harder, dig into the meaning of the songs, the intention behind them and I'm sure you'll open doors in your mind.
Angela gossow was one of the first female vocalists to do the very ‘heavy’ music style of vocals. For swapping between the two the earliest example I can think of is bands that came up in the ‘nu metal’ phase. Kittie being the example that stands out.
Brilliant reaction (& loved your replaying the melody on the piano), this is still one of my favourite tracks, it blew me away when I first heard it last year. Blessed be is also a great song and their latest single "Holy Roller" 🤘🙂
As far as the first woman to do growls in metal I'm honestly not sure, the first woman I ever heard do it was Angela Gossow back around 2004/2005 but she'd already been fronting that band for a few years at that point and I'm pretty sure she'd been in bands since the early 90's, though I'm not sure whether she had been doing growls or not back then. Some other notable mentions to my knowledge are Tarri B from My Ruin, Candace Kucsulain from Walls of Jericho, Morgan Lander of Kittie and there are actually many others at this point.
He specifically asked about that switched and used cleans so that eliminates Angela. I know they weren't the first ever but the first I remember with the switching between harsh and clean was Kitty
I always prefer to see reaction videos from other musicians as opposed to anyone else. Who wants to sit through someone listening to a song, only to have them say "I really enjoyed that, be sure to click like and subscribe!!" at the end?? I agree about the progression for the chorus. That sharp five made all the difference in the world.

That piano playing of the chorus sounds so beautiful
I heard the piano outro to "Layla" in that...

yup, got my subscription at this moment ;)

I'd almost argue that the live vocal performance is better than the one on the recording, definitely worth checking out!
@@jamiefitzpatrick3377 I was just about to say the same!
if Courtney watched you playing piano on that chorus id imagine she'd say, "He did'it"
Otep Shamaya of Otep was the first female singer I heard that mixes singing and growling. I'm not 100% sure she was the first, but she's an OG. Tatiana/Jinjer lists her as an influence in several interviews. Check out Otep - Ghostflower
Otep still kicks ass, they kicked ass back in the day, and that has yet to change.
Otep Shamaya and Angela Gossow are definitely the most influential female vocalists who use hrash vocal techniques.
She was the first I heard as well. I remember hearing Otep at Ozzfest 2002 while I was walking onto the Playstation truck and looking to the stage thinking, "woah! who is this guy?" I walked off the truck and immediately to the stage, bought Sevas Tra that day.
She's definitely one of the early ones. I have no idea how people seem to have forgotten her and her huge influence.
Walls of Jericho
Her voice gives me chills every time. I love SB.
love wacthing musics reaction to these bands, including jinjer!
Morgan Lander from Kittie was doing the dual vocals in the mid 1990s.. not sure if she was the first, but she always gets overlooked.

Another recommendation for you is Sleep Token - The Offering or Jaws
I second this. So hard.
tbh if i were to choose, i'd recommend something off of Two. Calcutta for example. imo its significantly more melodically and musically dense than either of those two, but they do slap though for sure. The Offering is a fantastic track
Thank you, Jessica. They are brutal!!!!

Probably the first female Metal growler was Sabina Classen in the German band Holy Moses. They were formed in 1980. Great analysis btw.
god damnit. That yoko one cut in killed me. RIP
Kittie was the first band to have female harmony and screaming together. Which gave birth to the Egyptian goddess shamaya otep!
No... it really isn't. Crisis was doing it prior to them.
I love how you were about to say something and then Courtney starts screaming haha! I just discovered this band a few days ago and had a similar reaction. Awesome.
I'm glad you said something at the end about how we all have those kind of dark and intense emotions. Heavy music really is so cathartic.
