[@heathervontater5726]

Fun lil fact about Miss Alissa up there, when Annette, the second singer of Nightwish fell ill with a bad case of the flu and had to be hospitalized, Tuomas asked the audience at the concert that night if they would be alright with hearing Alissa and Elize Ryd, who were on the tour as part of Kamelot's performance (the openers) sing the songs as best as they could. Elize had previously auditioned for Nightwish after the first singer was let go, so she was familiar with some of the old songs, but both had printouts of the lyrics and had about 20 minutes to listen to the songs as quick as they could. There's a fun documentary about it on KZbin but a few days later, Floor would swoop in to finish up the tour

[@heathervontater5726]

She's also dating Doyle from Misfits and they're precious and it's hilarious to see pictures of them because she's like 5'4" and super slender and he's like a 6 foot brick shithouse of a man but he will tell anyone who will listen how badass she is, it's super cute

[@Leishtek]

Part of the Nightwish Documentary "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours" which also shows how special Floor is. Alyssa is great, she sounded better in 30 minutes of rehearsing than Annette ever did. That's right, I'm a hater. Not really a fan of Tarja either but at least she's talented.

[@heathervontater5726]

@@Leishtek How unnecessary

[@ChrisPage68]

@@heathervontater5726 It was honest and accurate.

[@andrewcook6608]

If you want to hear a song where Alyssa sings, check out Liar Liar by Kamelot (another great band).

[@ChaseCarneson]

Nice one, will do

[@Leishtek]

Liar Liar is a great song!

[@Richard.Linder]

Yeah, I was just about to suggest that. She has a great singing voice. She's a guest singer in Liar Lair, by Kamelot. Roy Khan, the band's lead singer at that time, is incredible. He is classically trained in opera. i think. But he definitely doesn't sing opera in this song! It's a powerful song with a great music video. It almost seems its based on an epic movie. Correction: Kamelot's lead singer at this time was Tommy Karevik. He definitely has great power and presence in this performance.

[@andrewcook6608]

@@Richard.Linder I absolutely love Roy! Tommy was singing for the band by that time, though.

[@Richard.Linder]

@@andrewcook6608 Oops! I've only seen a couple of their videos! Thanks. I'll update my comment.

[@BIWTimmy]

This is a very gentle song. A lot of their other music is a lot more technical, and a LOT heavier. If you want more with the same vocalist - Alissa White-Gluz - check out As The Pages Burn, Avalanche or The Race. You can also check out Reason To Believe if you want to hear her clean vocals. Their previous vocalist - Angela Gossow - also absolutely slays, in a different fashion. Check out all-time favourite Nemesis or Ravenous, preferrably live, Tokyo 2008!

[@poa2159]

One of the reasons I started to listening to them is because of the drummer. I love his drumming

[@lullabyofthecrucified2957]

Just a fact: BABYMETAL collaborated with Alissa from Arch Enemy while recording their last album "Metal Galaxy". You can hear her voice in a song "Distortion"

[@ChaseCarneson]

Really? That's pretty rad.

[@ChrisPage68]

Also on that album is a collaboration with Joakim Broden of Sabaton - O Majinai.

[@gluntdaniel]

@@ChaseCarneson yea that's true. They also collaborated with Joakim Broden of Sabaton and Polyphia guitarists.

[@HansAhlqvist]

the former vocalist in Arch Enemy Angela Gossow is now Manager for Arch Enemy and for Amaranthe an other Swedish metalband. she have a guest vocal in Amaranthe "Do or Die" please listen to that.

[@zakkglenna667]

Michael Amott is truly incredible, this song doesn't quite do it justice. To have one of the greatest lead players of all time playing rhythm for you says a lot.

[@HdDamasceno]

Please react to some old Arch Enemy! I'm shure you will love Dehumanization or Dead Eyes See No Future

[@matthewkolb1694]

Arch Enemy's former front (current manager) Angela Gossow is a force of nature. 'The Day You Died' from the Tyrants of the Rising Sun dvd is a masterclass in emotional growling and feeling in death metal. Drummer Daniel Erlandson (probably butchered that spelling) is a beast, heavily involved in the arrangement process in studio. Michael Amott (flying V) is the main songwriter, band founder and self taught guitarist.

[@deed5811]

One of my favorite Arch Enemy songs!

[@andriusbruzas9211]

Surely have to listen to either Nemesis or The Blood Stained Cross. Both of these songs have live versions performed by both of their female vocalists. Either vocalist sounds amazing, their first one is Angela and this one is Alissa.

[@ChaseCarneson]

Nice one. I'll look into those. Appreciate the suggestions.

[@cordulagrun9401]

Yesss!!

[@digitalmouse3314]

You have strong knowledge about vocals wow because you are right seen her live with her old band The Agonist she founded she is really good man like Arch Enemy almost does not even showcase how good she is.

[@purefucknmetal]

Been listening to arch enemy since I was a teenager. I always get similar reactions from people when I show them the band haha. Your break downs are excellent btw, keep it up. Your channel will explode

[@ChaseCarneson]

Thank you for that. I hope so, really enjoying doing these.

[@Zandman26]

Arch Enemy was quite simultaneous with Otep so I don't know if I can call them pioneer's of screaming female vocals. However they had another before Alissa that is now the bands manager, and some fans of the band prefer the previous singer. They are as a group considered a Swedish melodic death metal band, however these days the members are a mix from different countries. Think you should also checkout Versailles - Faith and decision ( m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5XLl3hsfrmZpbM ), lots of interesting details there.

[@ktay7382]

Live at Wacken 2016 . Amazing performance

[@Arvejita15]

I have seen them alive. Alyssa is great!

[@ryanenglish3744]

She does clean vocals sometimes too. Not as much with Arch Enemy, but she did on "Reason To Believe". It's a super different song for them and I love it.

[@lazyhominid]

Arch Enemy have been around for a while. Their previous singer, Angela Gossow, is also very good, and worth a listen. I would recommend Ravenous, from their Wages Of Sin album. It's a very fun song, with some surprises. Also, watching Arch Enemy live is an amazing experience. They are all excellent musicians (it is a supergroup, after all) and they really enjoy being on stage. They are technically just as good as in the studio, but with the added atmosphere of being live. And Alyssa sings just as well live as on album.

[@Tri7on]

Hahahhaha your reaction when she starts singing was priceless

[@smashexentertainment676]

Michael Amott rocks. Live is fire, one and a half hour of straight headbanging power projecting from the stage. Even when you're completely exhausted and ready to die, Alissa is still jumping on the stage still looking hot af.

[@Palek83]

I love how you talk about song details while you listen to it for the very first time. With that said I don't know if starting Arch Enemy with this song is a good one. Nemesis or War Eternal would be much better. For other suggestions I'd go with: Wintersun - Sons of winter and stars Amorphis - The Bee Eluveitie - Rebirth Bloodred Hourglass - Quiet Complaint

[@ChaseCarneson]

Thanks for the support. Don't stress I definitely am going to be looking through more of there stuff. Always hard when first discovering them!

[@cordulagrun9401]

Please also check out Arch Enemy with their previous singer Angela Gossow. Nemesis live in japan would be a great one! She's a beast !!!

[@charlestoth3273]

You want to check her Alyssa's vocal range react to "Reason to believe", starts clean and ramps up to full growl. Another song to react to would be "The World is Yours"

[@mikebohrn6070]

Please react to Arch Enemy Savage Messiah or leader of the rats when Angela Gassow was the vocalist

[@hiawatha.g]

If you want something that will really bend your mind, here is Alissa before Arch Enemy. All of the sounds you hear, including all the voices, are her, overdubbed. "Swan Lake", a cappella: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paLZhnyvpKmajrc&pbjreload=10

[@bjhellstream]

In her old band The Agonist she switched between growls and amazing singing. Arch Enemy has been around since mid nineties and had a male vocalist before switching to a female growler with Angela Gossow. When she retired Alyssa joined. Great band all the way. Loved them since their first album.

[@TheFreakmaster1999]

just a side note as a drummer myself there drummer is one of the most solid drummers out there cause they play near to 150 shows per year and well he is in this band like for 20 years now he nails it every live show and got lot more nice fills and stuff on over the time he is just a groovey drummer when you see him live much fun. keep up the good work looking forward to see more form you

[@ChaseCarneson]

Yeah that's not easy. Thank you for the comment and support.

[@mikeh6286]

I enjoyed hearing your comments and observations. I'd defintely watch more if you upload more AE.

[@boringturtle]

Love his breakdowns. Would love to see him react to some Kamelot stuff. Liar Liar is great. Elizabeth from their '06 live album is also fantastic. Also kind of want to see him react to Electroheart by Amaranthe just to hear him break down that song cause it's so weird.

[@ChaseCarneson]

Nice one, Jesse. Will definitely look into Kamelot. Had a few requests in for that one.

[@pieteruys8961]

Alyssa and Elize Ryd actually did one show with nightwish

[@jackstorm5649]

One of my top 3 favorites of the Alissa era of AE. Want another Arch Enemy song maybe try "You Will Know MY Name". Also how about some more Unleash the Archers maybe "Time Stands Still", or "Northwest Passage". Lastly when you are ready for another new band Might I suggest Amaranthe "365" & "Burn With Me" are both good songs that haven't been overdone by the reactor community.

[@ChaseCarneson]

Thanks for the support. I'll definitely give those a look.

[@RianMeier]

Another great melodic death metal band that you might like is Amon Amarth. I'd recommend Twilight if the Thunder God, Cry of the Blackbirds or First Kill. Don't know if the last one has a music video, otherwise you could do Father of the Wolf in stead of First Kill.

[@guitar_noodle]

She can sing as well. Check out her old band the Agonist she does growls and sings. Also the blonde guitarist is Jeff Loomis who is a famous shredder. Check out Miles of machines from his solo album.

[@jmarquitt]

First Day one Hell is one of my favorites!

[@Dankyrr]

arch enemy are an awesome band, and alissa growls are very fluid, we don't always understand what metal singers are saying, but she does that well and we understand easily

[@hiawatha.g]

Good analysis! These guys have been doing this for around 20 years, and have shown plenty of times they are virtuoso musicians, but they keep most of their songs simple and straightforward so they can showcase the vocalists. They've had two of the greatest screamers ever, in Angela Gossow and Alissa White-Gluz (whom you saw here). My way to compare them is, Alissa is gorgeous woman who can scream like a banshee, while Angela (also a beautiful woman) was genuinely terrifying. Angela recruited Alissa as her successor after doing this for 14(!) years. Here is a good intro clip for Angela: "Nemesis": kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHa4kqyGh955Y7s It starts hard so brace yourself.

[@lordgandalf22]

Check out do or die of amaranthe with Angela gossow it's the previous singer of arch

[@thancrow]

Alyssa is a self taught singer. She works really hard as a singer.

[@jnrickards]

I can't provide any suggestions but in a former band, The Agonist, she does both clean and unclean vocals, she's great at both.

[@dropthehammer1360]

Check out their song Blood in the Water from the same album. I don't believe there's a music video, but there is a decent audio only version by archenemyofficial.

[@b0hemianrage414]

Going to pitch one of my fave growlers: Amorphis "The Bee." Because the man has a silk smooth clean vocal and then pulls out the CLEANEST roar I have ever heard, you can actually hear his lyrics. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIjVpYN8hJWmiK8 for the live but the lyric video is great too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpfCZaisrtKqiNk

[@angelshell227]

"she's got a big jump on it" - you hadn't seen Alissas energy during concerts :P If you want to hear some more melodic songs I would recommend "The Agonist" (e. g. Thank You Pain), the Former band where Alissa - Arch Enemys Singer - was in :)

Hi! New subscriber. I appreciate your application of technical knowledge while still being appreciative and blown away by the artists you’re choosing. I’ve been watching a lot of subscription channels lately because I’m an old metal head and it is entertaining in to see people “discover” this stuff. I’ll suggest to you, if you wanna cut through a lot of the chaff and get to something that not a lot of reactors are getting to, check out the band Exodus. They are the epitome of Thrash Metal, if you wanna get into that. Bonded by Blood, War is My Shepherd, Tempo of the Damned, Strike of the Beast. Keep it up!

You should look at a band called In Flames, they have a huge catalog going back to the 90's... one of the founders of melodic death metal. Trigger, Pinball Map, The Quiet Place are good ones to start with. male vocals, with a mix of screams and cleans. oh, and Wintersun! if you want to be blown away by something look for the Sons of Winter and Stars rehearsal video.

I actually know in flames, but haven't listened to them In forever. Do they have any new music out?

@@ChaseCarneson Yes, they did a new album last year called I the Mask - theres some really good tracks off there, I the Mask is great, Burn is ok, I am Above is the standout, along with Stay with me. usual with In flames albums, its a mix of hit and miss, but they sound a lot more like the 2000's version of IF than before.

[@antti-jussikemppainen305]

I really like the fact that you dissect the song as well as reaction to them. Kudos to you fine sir! As an intriguing path to follow: Arch Enemy's bassist plays also in another band that is more AOR and everything else you could want from 1975-85 that you can possibly imagine: The Night Flight Orchestra. Their Turn to Miami, Divinyls or Midnight Flyer are my recommendations. AND! The singer and guitarist of the NFO are from a metal band called Soilwork. Their discography isn't that familiar to me, so a newer song will be my recommendation: Stålfagel. And as a finn I must add: Although this band is long since burried, Sentenced is something that I recommend highly. Noose(the name says it all), Mourn(the lead guitarist's goodbye to his late grandfather), End of the Road (live version. The last song of the band's final album and the last show) and probably the best named song ever(in my humble opinion at least) Excuse me while I kill myself. I should link the article that tells how studies have found that metal music brings joy to people when they are feeling down. This as an explanation for the prevalence of suicidal vocabulary when talking about Sentenced. neurosciencenews.com/heavy-metal-music-mental-health-14642/amp/

[@patriksjoholm7102]

The bassist, Sharlee D'Angelo, is in a bunch of different bands. Witchery is probably my favourite of all the bands he's in, they play really fun "cartoonish" thrash/death metal. Spiritual Beggars is also really good (Michael Amott from Arch Enemy is also in this band). They play 70's style groove rock. Then there's Black Earth, which is a live-only project consisting of the original lineup of Arch Enemy where they only play songs from their first three albums.

[@callespringer9718]

I like how you pointed out the way they kind of lead the growling and decidedly non-melodic vocals into an actual melody, by ever so slightly hinting at it with the underlying instrumentation. This is an often over-looked thing IMO. I am personally not a particularly great fan of Arch Enemy or other Gothenburg-style modern melodeath, but I can appreciate some musical aspects of it. However, the only growls I really truly like are the deep death metal ones, the near-guttural kind, and I only like them when they're used for good effect. Like the ones you hear in bands such as Opeth, where they add an extra vocal dimension. Occasional screams can work to accentuate things as well and I am all for that, but anyone can scream until their voice breaks, takes some extra effort to produce a real growl, and it's best saved for situations that warrant it. And now that you mentioned that kind of melodical "dubbing", I realized that yeah, even Åkerfeldts (Opeth) amazing growling performances back in the day always follow a distinct melodic line accentuated by the other instruments, mostly the guitars. I suppose that's why they sound so much better than most, and feel more appropriate in the songs.

I can't help but always come away disappointed when I don't hear Alyssa's clean vox (yeah I know you can technically hear it for a bit). Now don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those 'screaming sux' kind of guys. But her clean stuff is just so good that it seems like a waste when she doesn't use it. And I don't listen to her regularly, but it seems like the vast majority of the time she doesn't use them. Not every song needs clean and harsh, but it does lend to the dynamics... and not to be insulting to AE or their fans, but the music is just too simple for me. Yeah, it's hella nice to groove to once or twice, but it doesn't have that staying power that will have me coming back day after day after week after month. Just a little bit of variation in, well, anything, would have done well for this song. Compare this to The Agonist's Thank You, Pain. That is just a vastly superior song in every way. Sorry, AE fans. ;o;

The drummer got bored with the speed and was just messing around. The better band was with the second singer Angela Gossow. Angela left the band but remains their manager and is married to the lead guitarist. Alissa (the singer in this video) was in a band called The Agonist where Angela met her. Angela herself offered the gig and now she has been the singer for about... four years I believe. Anyway as many AE fans will agree it was way better with Angela.
