Pitch shift in this case is a matter of very good control of the diaphragm. Moving it down is the fundamental sound. Moving it down. But up in the in the frontal area makes the pitch.

[@liamosullivan2902]

Same. I thought this was edited to fuck. Seen him live and they're carbon copied. Alex terrible is a fucking Demon.

[@MightBeCale]

Tbh I'm pretty convinced he just lip synchs the pre recorded part for the Russian speaking bit. It sounds too identical every time on top of sounding a bit differently mixed and way louder than all of his actual screaming through the mic.

[@MightBeCale]

@@udaman100 I have no problem believing he did them in the studio and does all of his other vocals live(I mean, fuck, right after the Russian speaking part live he belts "DEMOLISHER" into the crowd, with no mic, and you can hear the fucking scream in the venue), I just mean specifically the Russian speaking bit.

[@udaman100]

@@MightBeCale You're talking about the lowest vocals of the song right? The part where it's just him and no other instruments? I'm sure they're mixed it a little to sound clearer but it's definitely not pitch shifted because he's posted countless videos of him doing those vocals with just his phone's audio.

[@MightBeCale]

@@udaman100 I know, I'm not arguing that they're pitch shifted. I'm saying that I think live, they just play that bit pre recorded because it just doesn't sound like he's naturally doing it live, it literally sounds 100% completely identical to the recorded song, extra EQ shit to make it sound wider etc and all.

@@KardavoxAcademy Btw, I LOVE the fact that youre trying to growl along with Alex in the last couple of minutes, despite the fact that he is doing it in Russian, and you Still could identify the certain vocal pronunciation (if you get what I mean) he did.

[@Capthowdy098]

Also from AZ yeah its very damn warm 😐

[@vertillan]

As a sound engineer, he IS that low, but there are a couple things added for saturation and wideness. Things like reverb and certain effects help, but he is STILL that low. Plugins don't make it "lower", that would be regular pitch shifting. An I can tell when a voice is pitch shifted. He's that low, but it's helped by something to add the wider parts of the spectrum and bring in other tones in the same track. So for example, if you did a low, and I just EQ'd it normally, it would still sound good and full. But to add to it, you want to have something that over exaggerates something other parts of the frequency spectrum. Example, bringing out the lows(duh), but also bringing out more mid and high to help the low stand out. And compression is also a HUGE factor in doing vocals of ANY kind. Another big part is LAYERING and how you treat each individual layer. So if I take 5 of the same recording, take two and throw them far left and right, 2 more and throw them to 45 degrees left and right, the last is a center, but I turn that center one down, it makes it sound BROADER. And then with the extreme left and right I add saturation and EQ, the 45's only get EQ, but the center gets saturation AND EQ, it makes it sound totally different then justt having the center by itself, even with the EQ and saturation. There's a lot more I could say, but yes, he IS that low. The engineer is just REALLY good at making it sound bigger then it already is. Edit: IF, and I really mean IIIIFFFF, there is any pitch shifting, its a layer underneath to give the whole sound more girth. The main one you hear is still how low he gets. Again, MAJOR use of the word IF here.

[@Dubstepkick]

The pitch shift claims are why Alex shows the crowd without his mask (and the mic) how low and how far he can project. There's clips of them doing this live and even in the far back of the crowd and without him using the mic, you can tell he really gets that on his own with no pitch shifting. Unreal tbh, dudes mad talented.

[@Simone.Pietroforte]

As an audio engineer I don't feel they're pitch shifted. They sound like they are just because alex is unhuman, but I don't feel there's any pitch shifting tool out there that can sound that natural. When you use those tools, especially on extreme vocals, you can hear artificial elements added to the vocals. Here I don't hear any of those artifacts.

[@KardavoxAcademy]

I agree. After listening to this and comparing it to his vocals on his instagram / KZbin channel, dude is just a beast. Thanks for the insight as an audio engineer!

[@PapiAldoDiaz]

Simone Pietroforte i know i engineer my music which like rap haha but it seems like it would sound totally different if the pitch was manipulated digitally

[@dogmilk-el3rc]

I feel as an audio engineering student that people feel its pitch shifted bc I can pick up there's 2 or 3 different tracks one for the left one for the right and am not completely sure but one more going both ways so like how you would record guitars a lot of tracks to give it that really open and giant feeling to the song

[@DiariesOfSeals]

I feel like you'd be able to hear a difference in how airy his t's and s's and the percussive nature of some of the consonants change in pitch if that were the case. But I've been wrong before.

[@theebub]

I seen him do this at a show and it was the same voice. It was the most intense vocal display I have seen live.

[@khaoshellion169]

Dude, I've been singing death metal in the shower for years & you have taught me so much. Thank you eternally!

[@sonofbelz]

If vocals were strength sports, Alex would be the World's Strongest Man.

[@omniheart2381]

When did Zach Galifinakis start reviewing vocals?

[@StrangeMink]

LMAO

When he is on break from Between two ferns.

[@michaeldamm3389]

You are a very effective and skill full communicator, an art that is rare these days. A pleasant and learning experience with every video ,much appreciated, keep it going...

[@SPAAAAAACEe]

“Okay so here’s the thing.....that’s really low”

[@Ad_DOOM]

"im convinced alex's anatomy is just big... and beefy..." *sweats uncomfortably*

[@Red1676]

It's on point with his wide body build as to how low he got, I'm built like he is and when I was serious into vocals, I could get stupid low. Not as low as him, but if I probably practice like he did, its do able. I also think his accent helps him alot to make it more intimidating too, which is fucking badass. Guys got rediculous vocal talent and he definitely put in the work. I hope his band goes far as they deserve it.

[@brittanyarford6353]

He's SOOOO HUUUUGE in person lol. It's really intimidating but he's super nice. But yeah, I'd never doubt that tone out of someone his size. It's more jarring to hear it come from someone small like Phil Bozeman.

[@alexferrod9446]

Even if they are pitch shifted, there are videos of him screaming live on camera with no microphone and its louder than the crowd and the instrumentals. Absolute bomb of a vocalist.

[@modredastal1644]

I've started listening to both Kardashev and Slaughter to Prevail in the last two months, and am obsessed with both, so this is my new favorite video. You're awesome, Mark!

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@itsovertonite]

When a breakdown is so heavy you bust out the sword. Love it Mark 🤣🤣

[@dustydrums8]

I just witnessed a man sweat in agony while listening to and analyzing a badass deathcore band. Someone buy this man a new air conditioner...

[@terryhicks5416]

I wouldve turned on through ceiling fan

[@awonderingoneil206]

As a music production student (Audio engineering) on my 3rd year I can honestly say this is not pitch shifted, after analysing this in depth using sonic visualizer amongst other audio applications and studying his vocals as a whole over the years of my degree his vocal performance can only be summed up as pure skill. Naturally like most vocalists that come through the studio there is definitely some EQ present. Even after removing said EQ, Alex himself is a monster on vocals. Perhaps it's his build (the guys a fucking giant in person) or his practice routine. So to sum up with what Vertillan previously said I 100% agree. No pitch shifting, just pure skill behind the mic. All I can say is Alex is relentless in terms of shear power, fluidity and overall endurance, definitely a guy worth keeping tabs on. As always awesome video Kardavox and Alex if you reading this, keep it up.

[@benjamincampbell3361]

im curious to know how his voice is compressed...or does he even need it? The studio track certainly has plenty of compression to the vocals, but it would really play havoc trying to attenuate the frequency range...maybe they set up the post production for the bass guitar, and then just went "Yo Alex, its your turn!" ....do they even need a bass guitar though? haha

[@hausgbear8284]

Most of my friends aren't into this kinda music so I actually loved seeing you jam out to it because I didn't have to do it alone this time. Haha. Great vocal information too!

[@DeliriumzzZ]

When you want to be educational but can't stop yourself having a blast. This was actually so fun to watch.

[@bassyguitar]

no way, your the vocalist for viraemia thats insane! your bassist is incredible and clearly your just as talented. awesome channel man thanks for the hard work!

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Thanks bro, hope you stick around for more!

[@phonkwizard7667]

slaughter to prevail - one of the few metal bands to be accused of editing their vocals for being TOO metal

[@noahleach7690]

and then you watch the live versions of him screaming demolisher and it becomes ridiculous

[@KingZeonizer696]

I've seen these guy's live many times an I can tell you Alex's vocal are legit

[@rab..]

Damn , I fell out of the metal loop for a couple years and wasn't expecting to stumble on a Viraemia member doing reaction videos ! Done a bit more digging and so sorry to hear about Scott, dude was a major inspiration in my tech death extended range bass days. Can't wait to check out some more of your vids! Take care man !

[@snoflicka]

No seriously, why can't I stop watching this video??Amazing!

[@arsenbabasyan1646]

U know its a brutal song when the breakdown makes u grab a sword and go raid villages.

[@Apoll022]

Holy shit man I'd kill for lessons! Nowhere in the UK that has vocal coaches dedicated to metal/rock singing! 😭

[@KardavoxAcademy]

THanks so much, would be happy to help! Toss an email to [e-mail] for details! I'm a bit booked up currently but we have a waiting list!

[@dtdoge9564]

Best vocal coach reacts video i have seen. Really nice that you can actually scream and demonstrate and give an inside to what he is doing. Stay badass!

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Thanks bro, glad you dig it!

[@businesscatlimbo]

I swear out of all the reactions to this song - this one is by far my favorite.

[@andrewpalmer1911]

You're realization and understanding of the human voice is insane.

[@Randy_Arizona]

Pitch-shifted or Not .... It's the most brutal song of this year ... And i wanted to thank you Mark, for all your videos, they helped me a lot improve my metal singing ! Thousand thanks !!

[@gerardosalinasbonilla1706]

I will just never understand how actually people can sing like this and then continue with their lives just like nothing happened

[@rammiii6724]

Summs up pretty much everyone's reaction after hearing this drop down. I had to listen to this like 100 times till I believed this happened. He ended the vocal game for ever

[@timothywyatt3269]

14:30 If you never seen slaughter live, youd definitely think it was pitched. Back in oct of last year I saw them at some local mostly metal pub like 5 minutes from my house...oh my Alex's lows are insane. Recorded their whole performance lol.

[@AdrianEnglish]

The pure joy on this great man’s face made me feel like we are best friends rocking out together. Ready for battle, slaying orcs and women alike. You sir, are a champion.

[@nestorasbellas6604]

Came back to like! Its getting late here and i almost missed showing my appreciation both for the artist and your presentation!

[@tbone0303]

Even your windows OS was like nah I'm out, after the breakdown

[@colinnugent6580]

Watched some of your reactions liked how in depth you got about the techniques used. Decided to subscribe and check out your band on Spotify! Awesome stuff!

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Thanks bro! Welcome to the Kardavox family!

[@dsk1332]

i've done audio engineering at college , to me it sounds just like they are really clean recordings for this video doesn't sound like any pitch shifting in my opinion and hes know for being Satan himself, this man has got some serious vocals under his belt hes a monster

[@NikolaLevak]

I haven't enjoyed a reaction video this much since forever. You look like you are going to explode at any moment and the power of music is overpowering you! Love it!

[@tetrismf]

Your reaction is so GOLD! Man I've seen this video a few times and the reaction you have at the breakdown is just amazing xD I reacted the same way the first time I heard him live. Amazing vocalist. The whole band is just sheer power.

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@amaterasu8829]

I've never listened to this kind of music before. I just came here on a whim. Song is kick ass!

[@djdavid5555]

I love that almost the entire video he’s just jamming out and loving the song

[@adamtawfeek2388]

The sword lmao!! he feels that breakdown so hard he went straight back to the coliseum lmao

[@RockYourBestVocals]

Love this! A couple of people tipped me off to this video from my reaction to Alex and really dig what you're doing - appreciate you bro, keep it up!!! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

[@chilenox]

Just discovered your channel by accident, DAMNNNNNNN I LOVED IT! Youre awesome, cheers from Brazil!

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Thanks Raphael, welcome to the Kardavox family!

[@martin1234512345]

It is NOT pitch shifter but definitely heavily filtered. Just like everything else we listen to lol. No one else in the world really sounds like him. Super talented dude. This is why I love metal. It's pretty rare to listen to music where people are pushing the limits of what the body can do. Very impressive.

[@MeatCognition]

LMAO when you pulled out the sword that's exactly how I felt during that part. TO BATTLE.

[@aliengoboom]
