Attila is one of the best Black Metal vocalists ever \m/

[@chaoszine]

He was one of my dream guests for this video series. I have always admired him a lot when it comes to the vocals. Really amazing vocalist. =)

[@sengiryCZ]

The Greatest ever

[@jamie.777]

The TORMENTOR first 2 demos were incredible 😊

[@fearcollins7425]

Attila looks like he fell asleep at a random party and had his hair cut off by members of Mayhem.

Lol!😂

[@KnjazNazrath]

Atilla's such a nice and humble guy. Always willing to have a chat aboot w/e and help folks out. Always thankful for him helpin' me get overtones properly in my throat singing. P sure I owe him a pint if I see him again. Nice to see he's still talkin' aboot the "crying muscles" we chatted aboot at a Gravetemple gig. He's the only vocalist besides Devin Townsend who intimidates me w/ their talent within metal, but as this *amazing* interview shows he's always willing to help folks get better at their own style. Interesting that he mentioned the book on the belly. The training for bards in the old tradition includes reciting stories w/ a stone on your gut. Deep training here. "Art should be more personal. It's not what people accept or want, it's your personal message." Hear hear! As David Jones said "Never play to the gallery"! Remember people: warm milk and honey! If your voice hurts you're doin' it wrong! Find what works for you, don't just go with basic vocal fry cheat sheets! Find your spiritual side and channel that shi-

[@GEOPOLITICALANALYSIS]

The honesty, the passion is a testament of his longevity. I had the chance to meet him in Toronto years ago, he's very talented. Thank you for this!

[@x_n_x_gal9161]

As a Hungarian, the fact that he mentioned "István a király"... SLAYYY

[@actionnotreaction8951]

His performances on stage make this monster a legend in black forever!!! No one trascended that energy better...

[@dt8118]

Attila ♥️ amazing interview and great questions

[@Dhieen]

This interview is pure gold wow

[@constantijnblondel7672]

Awesome video. Thank you very much. And thank you for letting Attila talk shop this way - I enjoyed the hell out of it. Attila's on top of my list of "publicly known people I'd love to have a chat with talking about anything but the stuff they're most known for".

[@AerikVon]

Thank you for this…

[@albertopacheco2154]

Attila seems like a pretty cool guy

[@Casketkrusher_]

Such a nice and cool dude man, he's awesome

[@CausticRKS]

Love that he's talking about this. As a vocalist since 2012, and maybe a few years prior, I relate. In the beginning it sorta hurts to do black metal vocals, especially when you are young and your voice just isn't developed fully. My earliest shows, I could totally feel myself trying to overcompensate when I couldn't hear myself on stage, and it would definitely thrash my voice up a bit. Eventually I learned to not do that, but honestly, the biggest improvements have been made through the recording experience (trying to record vocals frequently), and getting older.

[@stormsa-coming4315]

I only need vocal lessons from Attila! Many thanks for this interview!

[@sparrowhawk3216]

I need a phone number for his barber!

[@christokrzysztofradew5047]

🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣

[@pushing7.62s]

Lol I believe the black you see is sunglasses

[@Awakeningofthegods]

Funny that even though I also (just like him) play in a Black Metal band and I am very much into the BM scene, we both grew up with the same influences. Obviously because we are from the same generation, but funny that we eneded up following the same path.

[@HighOnFire1997]

Can you do Emperor Magus Caligula next or Legion? Both huge legends in black metal. Love Attila. Only Mayhrm I can listen to is De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas and Ordo Ad Chao. He has some insane vocals on them albums. Without him De Mysteriis wouldn't sound and feel as eerie and dark as it does

[@chaoszine]

I can definitely try to get them IF they are willing to do it. =)

[@HighOnFire1997]

@@chaoszine appreciate it bro.

[@harry-r9o]

Omg, Caligula and Legion are two my favorite singers. You got great taste, man.

[@adisatanized]

The legend have spoken wise words, and chanting spell

[@MatthewsGauss]

it helps not losing his voice that his vocal style is basically throat singing which is not very damaging on your vocal chords.

[@Abstracto1412]

This was so helpful... vocals are indeed psychological thing

[@noninserviam]

[@davidomarmartinezcontreras3897]

[@KyZhoül]

Keep these videos coming, Man …this is an excellent series and there’s a serious lack of information like this for extreme vocalists to digest & learn from. These are GOLD. Thank U

[@chaoszine]

He has strong punk roots 😊🤟

[@Dhieen]

@@chaoszine Yeah I see that! this is so cool

[@ashd-h4911]

Not really that amazing, a lot of black metal was influenced by punk/crust.

[@g-man4744]

Yeah pretty much every black metal from the 80s is influenced by punk...Celtic Frost, Bathory, Sarcofago, Tormentor, early Mayhem, Goatlord, Sadistik Exekution, etc all mentioned punk as part of their influences

[@suofarrnekht]

What a wise man lml

[@georgecostan3248]

It's so funny that he is a really good vocalist, but doesn't know how to just talk in a microphone. Either way, he makes all the strong points one like me, a beginner live vocalist, should follow. There aren't a lot like him, especially in black metal, unfortunately...
