Cattle Decapitation - Monolith of Inhumanity - studio report: vocals

My favorite thing about Travis is not only is he a one of a kind vocalist but he’s a hilarious goof who doesn’t take himself too seriously which is refreshing

[@GlazeonthewickeR]

Doxxing a kid for leaking your album cover, definitely seems like he doesn’t take himself too seriously.

[@alexanderzadoroznyj]

[@jasonsmith4159]

tavis is just a ridiculous vocalist, sometimes hes able to amit Animalistic screams from the depts of hell, guttural grows, pig squeals, melodic growling, and melodic vocals that remind me of a mutant troll from dank dark cave where no light shines through. He's one of the most diverse vocalist working in death metal today.

I can honestly say that he's DEFINETLY top 3 vocalists that I've seen live. This dude is amazing live.

I'm the guy that shot/edited this. I had some gutterals in an early edit, but Travis and I both decided that we didn't like how the microphone on my camera picked up the low end stuff. The high end stuff just sounded a lot crisper so that's what we went with.

I don't know about king but certainly the most evolutionary in the scene. So many vocalists take from Travis Ryan. Dickie Allen, "I think that's his name", dude from the newer iterations of infant inhalator can do everything Travis Ryan can and then some but I will say that Travis Ryan is the KING of over dubbed vocals. There's no other vocalist that I know of atleast that can sound as insane as Travis Ryan when he overdubs his highs and lows together.

I noticed two amusing things. He looks at the lyrics on the laptop yet he is screaming and biting his tongue at the same time so it sounds like jibberish anyway. Also loving using an SM7B for EVERYTHING, holding it with your hands instead of a shock mount and using no pop shields at all. Ad-hoc!
