- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2022
- "Rise of The Tyrant" By Arch Enemy was the first metal album I bought with my own money back in the day. Since then, the band has change Quite a bit and I , of course, have not kept up at all! I know, I'm terrible. Alissa White-Gluz is, as you all already know, a tremendously talented vocalist and Listening to her voice was a blast! Lets talk about amazing breath support, wonderfully balanced tone, and expert level distortion while I react to and analyze "The Watcher" by Arch Enemy!

I was in the crowd right in front of the scene during their shoot for the video and when she told us that they were recording for it, the crowd became insane !! There were moshpits everywhere and so many people crowdsurfing... Definitely a concert that I'll remember even if I was not able to listen to the concert as carefully as I would have liked with all the bumping around and carrying people... At least this is my excuse to try to see them a second time live ^^
Btw it was at Wacken Open Air in Germany in August of this year
I am so jealous of you! Was there in 2009 and can relate to the carrying of people ^^ Had 2-3 people(my gf and other girls) in front of me so it came down to my neighbor and me to hand crowdsurfers to security. Loved (almost) every minute of it, let's say army boots are an acquired taste.. !..!,
I was There, too. It was truly an exceptional experience
I saw them as well. A hell of an experience, what a banger concert. Everytime I watch "The Watcher" I get hyped so much cause I know I was there
Yup, another one who was there. Amazing festival
This whole album is a banger
Great reactio! Gotta love Arch Enemy! Trivia of the day; when Nightwish let Annette Olson go, Alissa and Elize Ryd from Amaranthe came to rescue. Alissa sang with her one NW gig with "normal" voice. She's good at that too! Next; Finnish death metal band Amorphis and their harsh singer Tomi Joutsen who does both harsh and clean singing. Excellent example of this is song called "Death of a King".
I agree - Alissa's clean tone is gorgeous!! And you're right about Tomi as well - both cleans and growls are superb!!
They're so dope live. Loved their show when they came to Germany a whole back 🤩
I like your technical explanation of Alissa's singing. She es effing awesome.
Great (and instructional!) video. The Watcher - from the album Deceivers - is one of the very few AE songs where I didn't catch all the lyrics the first few times (The Race is another, similar, older song) just because of the sheer *speed* she's coming out with the growls. I admit that if I can't catch at least the majority of the lyrics I lose interest really fast but the chorus is so catchy it got a lot of replay!
One thing I have noticed from other recent AE songs - In the Eye of the Storm for example - is that the diction is so refined that auto-generated English subtitles can pick up phrases! (I use subs a lot for necessity - mostly you see [music] or [applause] and occasionally [foreign])
Nice mentioning Angela. I don’t think she gets as much love these days as she should. Not to take away from Alyssa. She’s great too.
Great video! Ive been a huge fan of Alissa’s voice for a while now and hearing you break it down was really insightful. If at any point you wanted to hear her in more of a chaotic flashy deathcore-ish style, then check out her old band The Agonist. The song “And their eulogies sang me to sleep” is quite chaotic with lot more of variations of screams, gutturals, some pterodactyl like sounds and just a lot in between. Her overall voice was much different from now in Arch enemy and I think It would definitely be a very informative video
Nice! Yeah, I was very pleasantly surprised by the new Arch Enemy and, like you, kind of forgot about them for a while. I was also kind of skeptical about Alissa in AE because I’ve always liked false chord vocals more in death metal but her tone and phrasing is incredible. That’s interesting about the possibility of blending false chord/fry…I was having a hard time picturing what she was doing at times as her lows do sound kind of false-y, which sounds awesome IMO. If you do another track, check out the first single (Handshake with Hell) which even has some cleans thrown in!
Mark, you've gotta take a look at Satellites by Periphery. Some of the most impressive mixed vocals I've ever heard.
I've been meaning to check out Periphery for a while now!
Second this! Spencer Sotelo is a beast!
I’m stoked you finally did and AE reaction! We actually worked on an Arch enemy song for my first fry lesson. I was really surprised when I joined her patreon to learn she is actually a false cord vocalist. I would love to see more Arch enemy (War Eternal would be a great one). I’d also recommend checking out her song with Carnifex if you wanna cater to the deathcore crowd but also check out more of her work.
She has an amazing clean voice too, I love seeing gutteral vocalists when they can sing clean well too. Check Liar Liar by Kamelot for the most ridiculous video ever with her amazing vocals
Love your triskle tattoo celtic roots
That's a very interesting in depth analysis, I love the style of your video. You should do a cooperation with Elizabeth @TheCharismaticVoice I think your combined vocal knowledge would shed a great light on some Metal songs.
They did! ruclips.net/video/NPSalo9bAC0/видео.html
@@ludoarends Wow this is great, thanks for pointing me to it.
Lmao! "That was delicious!" I'm dieing😂😂😂
Can you do a reaction/analysis on Arch enemy - Nemesis Live in Tokyo 2008? I love Alissa too but still can't get over Angela's era. Especially their performance in tokyo 2008. Would love to here your thoughts. Thank you.
You should check FOR I AM KING - Liars
I'd love to see you cover some vulvodynia and nekrogoblikon both have great examples of fundamentals and more advanced techniques
NEKROGOBLIKON
In addition to fundamental voicework, Nekrogoblikon also has "Fundamental Slimes and Humors" too *Rimshot* ... I'll see myself out.
👍🤘
thanks for reacting this masterpiece...
Hey there! Love your Videos as always :D Chelsea Grin just released a new Song called "The Isnis" - You should definitely react to that!!!! I am really hyped for the Album if this goes on like this haha. Greetings from Germany :)
Did you ever checked out seven spires? The Gods of debauchery kills it all the way.. Just sayin 😁
Every time i listen them i think about children of bodom , i dont know if you know them
This song definitely reminds me of COB!
3:50 you forgot to link the video you were talking about here :(
Just the fact that Alissa is still around after all these year must mean she’s doing something right. I remember her back in The Agonist and in those “hottest women in metal” magazines 😅
oh wow I didn't hear this one yet ironically but I feel better about having done a few Arch Enemy covers myself ... xD Whether they are any good or not is another story though x)
Can you please react to her songs in the agonist? Her vocals were much better there
I'll check them out!
Satans Toilet Bowl Vocalist needs to be on a T Shirt
Hello, check out chaney crabb from entheos
The horse statuettes behind you are very nice,- but probably not all that True Kult.
Angela had the perfect Arch Enemy growl but Alissa is an extreme vocal virtuoso with so many possibilities and her tone seems slightly deeper and grindier now which blends even better than before. Always loved this bands epic sound and solos.
The uploader has not made this video available in your country
yeah yeah
The label is blocking this for one country according to our details, sorry!
@@ludoarends *with heavy russian accent* not one country, in OUR country
I think the current vocalist is good at what she does, but I'll always be a sucker for the gnarly death-growl vocals of Angela Gossow over these more 'typical' screams.
To be fair, Angela tended to be very safe on albums, more in line with this, but the live performances were god tier
I think the song writing is also different since Angela left. The music has a pop-metal vibe in the choruses. I prefer the darker heavier style of their older music, even though I think Alissa’s voice is great.
For my personally current more melodic and more catchy in instruments combined with quallity gtowls style is better for me.
Im getting jinjer vibes
what doesn't give you jinjer vibes
