It’s worth mentioning that Tom Barber has said in interviews that he was a fan of Chelsea Grin and would listen to their music at the bus stop so for him to now be the lead singer is fucking amazing

I was in a McDonalds after young life one time in high school the first time I saw that album art. It scared me to the core. Then I heard recreant and that 20 bpm breakdown completely shook me 😹 I was deep in to metal, so heard of it basically at release…and just couldn’t believe how scared these boys made me. And it was fascinating. Great video dog, I’m subbing for sure you’re doing us all a huge service who were there.

i remember the first time i heard Chelsea Grin in 2010. the vocals were such a dealbreaker; it very effectively separated themselves from the oversaturated myspace deathcore crowd because *nobody* around was screaming as high as Koehler was. at the time hearing him was like deathcore screams pushed to a caricature of the vocal style. i remember back when i heard him i immediately threw out all my all that remains/as blood runs black voice training screams i was accustomed to and instantly tried to reach a screech as high as him. 💀 hate to advertise but have you ever heard Vinnytsia Fatalities? that's an old-school-style deathcore band i was in. listen to the EP: Death Beats Through My Heart if you can/want to, it's good stuff and you can probably instantly detect some of the influence of his vox that still lingers in my voice. 🎙️ 🤟🏻 also cool video !!!!

I remember hearing Chelsea Grin for the first time in like 2008 or 2009 when I was in high school, like it was right after the EP came out. My friend who I'd played in a band with came up to me in the hall and gave me an earphone and hit play on Recreant and Alex's high scream blew me away. I was new to metalcore and deathcore, at the time. I didn't like Desolation of Eden as much, I missed My Damnation for some reason, then I started playing guitar in a rock band in 2012 so I started focusing more on that style and didn't listen to much metal for a couple years, but I did like Evolve. Then I got into Babymetal in 2014 and fell down the JPop rabbit hole where I'm in the absolute depths today, but I did get around to catching up on stuff I missed. I only really like a couple songs from Ashes to Ashes, and I had to remaster Self Inflicted because the mix isn't very good, but I like it now that I've fixed it for myself. And I've loved everything since Eternal Nightmare, they know how to make deathcore groove in a way that other bands don't. The Myspace deathcore days were special, and I'm glad that the Chelsea Grin name lives on and they're still making some of the best deathcore around, even though it's a completely different band. Kinda crazy when you think about it. The band has no original members but they're still pumping out the same or better quality music than the original band.

Chelsea Grin did inhales when inhales were out of the picture. I remember them being hated. Not by me, but I remember.

I truely feel its the best representation of deathcore there is. Youre right it was actually perfect and nothing quite hit the same way these few songs did.

They pioneered the concept of layered vocals in the way he was using them (specifically using two different techniques to hit a similar pitch) and I think he really set the bar by doing that. His lows on those early EP's and Albums were some kind of exhale scream layered with an inhale, and it's why they sounded the way they did. Live he would mostly do exhales, but even that was still brutal as all satanic fuckerdom. I was able to meet Alex at a CG gig in Fort Lauderdale, FL, around the Ashes To Ashes days. I have a pic of me with him and a local band's vocalist; my pupils are dialated because I am fucking concussed from the pit. He was a super fucking cool dude.

I got into deathcore some time in 2021 and it’s mostly what I listen to ever since, I absolutely love the Chelsea grin self titled EP, been listening to it time and time again, I decided to buy myself a vinyl of it to keep as a piece of history. Not gonna lie though I really feel like I missed out on so much growing up but oh well atleast I got into it now, better now than never Also I really enjoy watching these videos, keep it up, are you planning on doing suicide silence or Whitechapel?

This was such an exciting time for me and all my lil scene kid friends lmao we all had the dyed black hair and lip piercings It was like the self titled EP with Cheyne Stokes etc (best art ever I agree 💯) and we just wanted to hear the heaviest breakdowns and craziest vocals possible. And that EP fucking delivered, that and songs like "whore to a chainsaw" by thy art just blew our minds. Anything with those insane fast double bass drums, The Somatic Defilement comes to mind, you should do a Whitechapel video! Edit: I saw them with Attila on that tour. CG was the roughest pit I've ever been in

My damnation is probably my favorite deathcore song. Shit just slaps, I was lucky enough to see this band with both Alex and Tom. Side note you should do a video on the Agonist. I’m pretty sure they were the first deathcore band with a female lead and now she’s killing it in arch enemy.

Although I love My Damnation and Desolation of Eden, to me Ashes To Ashes was the best album CG released ! I still listen to it on the regular ! Such an amazing record ! Also, Alex isn't the only OG Chelsea Grin member in the new project ! Jake is playing guitar in it ! I can't wait to hear the first song ! They said it was almost finished !

WE'RE BLINDED BY A DEAD MAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN! Legit my favorite Chelsea Grin song. I loved Lilith and My Damnation and Sonnet of the Wretched... but Pledge Allegiance is the GOAT from their catalogue... though I admit Lilith is still a close second for me, but that's probably because I associate it with getting out of an extremely toxic relationship.
