Alex Terrible STUNS me! Slaughter To Prevail ANALYSIS of "Viking"

Check out the single from STP: sumerian.lnk.to/viking
I haven't heard Slaughter To Prevail and Alex Terrible's insane vocals for a couple years now ever since "Demolisher", and I ask myself why. Then Tank the Tech reaches out to me about his insane concert experience where Alex projects his harsh vocals throughout the venue without a microphone, and it piqued my interest. So we're diving back in to STP to see how Alex's vocals have evolved!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Slaughter To Prevail performing "Viking" for the first time.

Eddie hermida was definitely this clear when he was with all shall perish but Alex is just an incredible talent that can hardly be matched

[@victoriamartines5030]

If you'll ever convince Alex Terrible for a 'camera down the throat' test/ documentary, I'm pretty sure the video will be trending on YT. So many people are wondering: 'Is he human?' 'How can he do that?' and others who still can't believe his vocals are real but processed. I can imagine lots of questions will be answered. I watched the one you did with Will Ramos and I was amazed about the detailed insight and to see how his false and real vocal folds are working up, close and personal. This magnificent song is like a milestone in their career. A step up the game phase, if you will. It have groove, excellent pinch harmonics and riffs, out of this world drumage and Alligator Man, in perfect unit. The fact this band made deathcore genre more accessible for non initiated, represent a big part of their ever growing popularity.

[@grimnekropolis8500]

It’s with Kostolom(probably butchered the spelling) that they got a more approachable sound. Their earlier albums are a bit less approachable though still good.

Alex rolling the guttural was just INCREDIBLE the first time I heard it. A lot of people are comparing it to an alligator's growl and I can confirm that is the best descriptor of the sound.

I’m so happy to see how much much deserved attention you’re giving us in the metal vocalist world soooo many people have no clue just how much practice time and talent it takes to create such beautiful sounds. It’s not just “noise” and you get that. Also you will could have your own channel and I’d never stop watching you two are such fun friends thanks for everything you do and teach.

[@stevesummerell9722]

The live vocal take of this will show you a lot of his techniques. He is an absolute monster.

[@300productions7]

I know you don’t tend to do the same song multiple times, but the one take is insane he has on KZbin. Just him, a mic, and slight reverb on it. You can really see his mouth shapes, and hear what notes he can actually do in one take and not just doubled layering in the studio :)

[@ashleighjandrasec2926]

You have to watch the live version he does at his computer, it just shows the pure talent he has and how much projection he has with his voice. It shuts the naysayers up very quickly

[@CyrisCloete]

Make sure you check out Alex Terrible's new DOOM SLAYER release, where he really shows off the rolling growl.

[@stevemuzak8526]

He’s probably the loudest harsh vocal singer ever.

[@IvyWillowMusic]

There's a band called Step To Every Pit I ran sound for on a couple shows, and I had to put a -20db pad on the vocalists mic, and still turn down his volume. Out of all the metal shows I've done sound for, that's the only show I had to do that with. It was absolutely bonkers. I feel like the same thing probably happens with Alex 😅

[@jonathangrigg2728]

@@IvyWillowMusicI seen a comment on another video that claimed something about Nik Nocturnal mentioning he was given Alex’s spare microphone to do a guest vocal live in his city on stage, and afterwards he made the comment (supposedly) that you couldn’t hear Nick because the mic was turned down A LOT so you’re probably right about sound engineers having to pad Alex’s voice.

[@Fluffy65]

I got goosebumps head to toe the first time I heard the chorus, and when he sings "do you understand that we have the same home?" as it comes off as such an impassioned plea for people to find ways to unite with each other, no matter how different we think we are. It fits even more now that I've done my research on Alex and know how against violence and war he really is.

[@breadnaut3087]

Against violence? He just posted a BARE KNUCKLE boxing match 😄 The man embraces violence.

[@Fluffy65]

@@breadnaut3087 Boxing is a SPORT. Yeah, it's a rough one, like many sports. One can participate in rough physical sports and be against war and violence. There's a big difference, and bare knuckle boxing is statistically safer than gloved boxing. People hit much harder with gloves on, and brain injuries went through the roof when they showed up in the professional circuit.

[@Arzie81]

This has so much insane vocal stuff that it still boggles after multiple listening. Those bearlike crowls are just nuts and heard on live he does that shotpart at the end without mic!

[@Lieburner]

Tuvan throat singing. That is his huge advantage knowing those techniques and having absolute control of breathing and vocal cords adapted to deathcore.

[@dwarfedidie1899]

I saw these guys live not long ago. Can confirm alex is LOUD. He goes off mic for the breakdown of viking as well as demolisher and you can hear him over the crowd. It is incredible

[@RvGLtButtCheeks]

You should do an analysis of the Viking One-Take Alex did, it is so much more raw with less processing over it to analyze the natural production of the sounds without the layering.

[@nukem8128]

Agreed. Almost made specifically for this type of breakdown

[@VeritabIlIti]

Highly recommend looking at the live one-take as well! Kardavox thought that roll was a rolled tongue, but that seems so hard to manage with the mouth that closed!

[@chrisshanteau5353]

He just did a tutorial and it is a rolled tongue!

[@bewatermyfriend766]

Finally! I'm looking forward to this one, Alex Terrible's performance in this song in unreal.

[@user-oj3my9ic2j]

Mis oídos 😃

[@equipmagameplays]

You're actually right with the body stabilization to strengthen harsh vocals. In my 15 years of experience, I figured out that hardening your upper body muscles really helps to create loud and stable vocals. It's not just diaphragma stabilization that can help with vocals

[@deathtakes]

Gotta have the power stance.

[@equipmagameplays]

@@deathtakes it really makes a difference

[@wertyuiopasd6281]

He is built like a mountain as well, and a lot of muscles. As a gym goer, I can tell, you move way differently in you can bear 100kg on your shoulders in an exercice compared to if you can't.

This is why I started watching your content and appreciate you so much. You have been a huge pioneer in showing off metal as something other than it just "being noise". You help show that just because it sounds evil, it doesn't mean that it's all evil or that the people apart of it are evil. You show that it's the complete opposite. Thank you for being you! Also, Alex is just known for being a really big teddy bear.

[@Brunnen_Gee]

Talking about how loud he can be, there's a live performance from a few weeks ago on Alex's channel where he had the audience get quiet and then did some of his growls _without the mic_ and you could hear it clear as day. Slaughter To Prevail LIVE Inkcarceration Fest 2023 is the name of the video, 15:41 for a timestamp in that video. Careful because right after that he beats himself in the head with the mic until he bleeds. That really deep growl he does, I swear in his Doom BFG song he sounds like a drainage pipe or something. It's crazy. If you haven't listened to it, the song Baba Yaga is one where he alternates a lot more between clean vocals and growls. He _almost_ sings in this song.

[@metalmechanic6664]

I love the line they lifted from Krigsgaldr by Heilung. "Let the blade do the talking. So let my tongue become iron"

[@Whin556]

I'm gonna be real with you. Until I started listening to Slaughter I pretty much stopped listening to stuff like this. Just wasn't doing anything for me. Then I found your channel. When you reacted to Demolisher. I scrolled by it for a couple of days and then decided to just click and give it a go. Your first experience with them was my first experience with them. That night I must have listened to a dozen other reactions and a live set. So I guess thank you for giving them a chance. Giving me a chance to hear them.

I would recommend doing "Baba Yaga", "1984", "Agony", or "Doomslayer" next (but all of them at some point, they are EXCELLENT songs). "Baba Yaga" has alittle bit more cleans, "Agony" is abit older, "1984" is an anti-war song, and "Doomslayer" is a sideproject. Also he has a one-take playthrough of this song you can check out on your own time (or as a reaction, would not hold it against you as I love this song)

Her reactions are priceless when she squeals like a giddy schoolgirl at a particular harsh vocal or interesting instrumental technique.

The shot at 18:32 with the girl reaching Alex’s hand, I was there right next to the camera you couldn’t see me.

[@nicci4724]

Alex's vocal one take is a must see!

[@Owlsarehooting18]

I find it interesting talking about harsh vocals and making words audible, because I agree. Thing is when I am listening to opera, I find it even harder to hear the annunciation (probably because its usually in a different language as well)

[@Cynder455]

love the Stormlight leather-bound books in the back!

[@TommyJ710]

I’m not a listener of this type of music but watching this video has given me so much more appreciation. Her joy is contagious

[@cjguitarguy96]

Hi Elizabeth! I love your videos so much. That “alarm sound” is courtesy of a DigiTech Whammy pedal on the guitar (or another brand that does the same), and it jumps the guitar’s note up 2 octaves. Same technique for Tom Morello’s signature sounds and a lot of those “panic chord” sounds in modern metalcore music. Super cool, distinct sound!

[@oSileyCT-7212]

Jack uses the Whammy DT by digi

[@tradjick]

I am of the opinion that Elizabeth would really appreciate the music, emotion, and style of Whitechapel's Phil Bozeman. Especially "When a demon defiles a witch" after she looked into the backstory of the piece.

[@welshkaneki2352]

i can't tell you how much i love the way you've embraced this genre of music

[@Heimsormur]

You finally got to it!! I’ve been hella excited for you to react

[@Deekthagnome]

There's the band "Iwrestledabearonce" and then there's Alex who actually wrestled a bear AT LEAST once. His voice is just primal. Also, that "siren" sound you were talking about is the guitar going through a whammy pedal. Same effect as the main riff in Pantera's "Becoming".

[@texx07]

i miss iwabo...interesting fact they got the name from a gary busey interview. he was talkin about a movie he was in. the movie was bout the coach bear bryant busey wrestled a bear cuz coach got his name from wrestling a bear.

[@akiraravehouse7090]

You mean spirit box.....

[@Deekthagnome]

No, I meant who I said. Only 2 members of Spirit Box came from IWABO. Not to mention the name 'Spirit Box' doesn't fit the joke the comment was going for.

[@Stocky39]

Please more slaughter! I love the way you break these metal vocals down. I recommend you “Baba Yaga”

[@tuga2leafs]

Demolisher was the first video she did on slaugter

[@ghost_to_a_ghost]

OHHHHH SNAP! i have been waiting for this ever since Viking dropped 😎

[@dalatina911]

I just barely discovered death metal last night when I randomly found Will Ramos reacting to this song! I love your personality and how passionate you are about vocals. I seen the short you and Will did where he taught you to vocalize like he does and I fell in love with you two!!

[@Malkavian.]

I love you and I love your analyze and reaction of this song. But you have to react and analyze Slaughter To Prevail - Viking (Alex Terrible One Take Live Vocal ). This will be an amazing challenge for you to analyze. Alex doing this shit on live vocal its and insane crazy shit. Cheers from Spain and sorry for my not good english. I love you and just keep going

[@Tegardener666]

Its interesting that she straight away raises Heilung, when you translate the Russian of this track to English its very similar to the lyrical content of "Krigsgaldr".

[@juanptorres8]

I love watching your reactions. ❤ I am a metal head n love to see people’s faces while listening to someone like Alex 😄… you have such good time. Love it… love your energy. 😎

[@kylebrooks338]

I’m seeing these boys in November and I’m so stoked
