Leviathan (barnes before joining CC) - Violent Slaughter 87'

[@gwennnnnnnnnnnn]

and here i am wondering how barnes went from this to deep growls

[@fuji9104]

He actually mentioned in the CC documentary that because Cannibal Song was only getting more heavy and agressive he figures the only way his voice would work is by blending in their style. If you hear Skull Full of Maggots from the demo to the version in Eaten Back to Life you can notice guitas/bass are tuned lower as well.

[@gwennnnnnnnnnnn]

how did he even learn how to do it? i can do it but it sounds ass

[@fuji9104]

Don't be discouraged if it sounds bad RIGHT NOW, starting point is always rough for everyone, specially if you're young and the voice hasn't completely come through right yet. There's no formal education for this style of singing but if you're doing it properly you should feel like something is "stuck" around your throat. Because it's a head only style, practicing will be the difference between the night and day and a lot faster than normal singing might be. Avoid moving your tongue too much if you're just starting because that will help the death growl come out cleaner, then after that move to pronunciation so you can actually sing the words. Just doing growls at the start will be a lot easier to get used to it. That's how I learned anyway, nobody ever helped me and I can do it legit well nowadays. You can probably youtube some tutorials as well. Just don't smoke anything, not cigarette, weed or w/e, because that will make this ten thousand times harder.

[@gwennnnnnnnnnnn]

it sounds really bad unless i put my tongue to the roof of my mouth (doesnt sound like that crappy "guttural" that deathcore bands do when they put their tongue there)

[@gwennnnnnnnnnnn]

even then it still sounds pretty bad

[@giddy123456]

chris barnes was in Tirant Sin (now cannibal corpse) before Leviathan, he eventually quit tirant sin, and joined Leviathan, then Leviathan eventually broke up, then barnes went back to tirant Sin, then joined forces with beyond death, creating cannibal corpse

[@6266Slayer]

its crazy how his vocals evolved over the years

[@byrongardner9299]

Then devolved

[@bumface1810]

He should try going back to a similar thrash style since his death voice is blown out.

[@Billeyjd]

From OOO to EEE

[@reanimator9]

YEEEEEEEEEAH !!! Excellent stuff!! Sound like dark angel's darkness descend, but really good !! True Extreme thrash!!

[@randomdude777666]

holy fuck!! barnes has a really good thrash voice! reminds me of sodom or kreator

[@redrumloa]

Sounds like early Kreator with Don Doty on vocals. Cool.

[@KillJoy353]

dude, Barnes can sing pretty well!

[@non_conformisttx]

old school thrash.... i miss playing shit like this

[@the_toyden]

Mike Green (guitar) is now in the Death Metal band GRAVE DESCENT, they are on myspace and facebook

[@murderiscoolLOL]

the bass intro is amazing.

[@zombies8u]

This does kick ass! Chris sure has been at it a long time! Cheers thx for this!

[@SinistaMinista666]

I listen to this song at least once a day \\m//

[@thumb2theeye]

Last time I heard this it was a Saturday night listening to BNY's "Metal Mayhem"...so good to see it here!!!

[@TLGZOID]

I think this was on SCREAM YOUR BRAINS OUT comp released by METAL FORCES MAG also on there was AFTERMATH,ANACRUSIS,ATROPHY,and one more band...

[@torrentANONYMOUScodc]

this is awesome and your assesment in the desription is orret. the bass does sound alot like 'Merciless Death' by DA \m/

[@SlayerThrash1]

awesome, I love this song!

[@TheVinlandViking]

@comedybenj I think he's the one in the middle, with the Exodus t-shirt.

[@autocracy1]

HEY BRO CAN YOU POST THE REST OF THEIR SONGS I LOVE THIS BAND BUT YOU CANT FIND THE OTHER SONGS ANYWHERE. HIT ME UP AND LET ME KNOW THANKS.

[@lanakaneti9524]

[@Chuloloc]

[@LORDGOAT1976]

Yes, great stuff.

[@Poisonsoldier67]

@purplehazethc kicking ass!

[@Valgrindar]

@Estiloso THAT'S SO RELEVANT

[@corpsegrinderAndy]

killer song

[@iwantoutnow]

GREAT !

[@THRASHattack66]

KILLER AS HELL!!

[@MunicipalDude]

Do i hear Don Doty?

[@bishop918]

Sounds almost exactly like the vocal pieces from Dark Angel. Wow.

[@comedybenj]

which one is christ barnes at 1:19?

[@torrentANONYMOUScodc]

@ThazuaBlackarrow Id have to agree. I still like the classi Barnes-era CC espeially Eaten Back To Life and Tomb of the Mutilated, but even that has nothing on Autopsy, imo.

[@Valgrindar]

Vader's got a pretty big thrash influence. They've got a pretty even mix of thrash and death.

[@putrescentvermin]

0:52 sounds like Don’t Burn The Witch by Venom.

[@AlcohollifuckincA]

danmm fuckin Barn's Thrash Vocals Are siiiiiick!

[@cristocannibal69]

hail for the priest chris

[@johnkelly3335]

fuckin chris barnes in 1987 brutal raw energetic classic

[@CaveWomen88]

🖤🤟🏼

[@Empyr3]

Well it was better than I thought it would be.

[@GodinSDXTguitars]

no, where did you hear that? his lyrics?

[@yoda8192]

This reminds me of Venom or early Kreator

[@putrescentvermin]

Yep sounds like Don’t Burn the Witch by Venom. I swear I think Slayer had a similar sound too.

[@goatfil]

y is cris not in cc eny more..?..enyone.

[@giddy123456]

Tirant Sin might of made it if the bassist (not alex webster) didnt quit, and leviathan probably would go to become more of a thrash metal band probably, because thats what their music sounds more like

[@franzdorregaray74]

Pure fucking thrash!

[@dthmetalrox]

was alex in this on or was that tirent sin

[@graveyardclassics]

he was with jack owen on beyond death, another band that barnes was never part of, barnes was with paul and bob rusay on tirant sin

[@Villeala]

I like this song. Barnes is the BEST

[@tatonghudas]

FUCK!!! I was just barely three years old when this came out? \m/

[@giddy123456]

@KissMeImPunk i ment lyrics for intense, but yeah, true i know alot of bands that are at times, alot more intense than cannibal corpse

[@meskeriotojas]

i like this old stuff. music got some spirit... not like new shit

[@grindgoredn]

@autocracy1 if you want i can send you all the tracks, i got them all, if you want just let me know

[@mardukdemigod1523]

So much Kreator in this sound

[@IvanSorath]

kick ass shit , yeah

[@goatfil]

i herd he killed someone..is it true.?

[@ImmortalCadaver]

@purplehazethc Working at a head shop somewhere.

[@comedybenj]

@star6914207 cool

[@giddy123456]

@purplehazethc carpenter, or painting houses

[@Paolur]

Dude, Corpsegrinder is good too. Not as good as Barnes, but he sounds great. And Barns' voice kinda fits Six Feet Under's musical style better.

[@giddy123456]

@ThazuaBlackarrow you like thrash, i like death metal, and cannibal corpse are still considered one of the greatest death metal bands

[@ManikBuluk]

CHRIS BARNES IS THE LAW!!!!

[@EbilTim]

Is there any way to find this demo besides downloading?

[@keef78]

reminds me of slayer but way thrashier

[@dQw4w9WgXcQja]

exactly what i was thinking sfu is more laid back like barnes

[@thisbambibites]

A far cry from his death metal vocals in Cannibal Corpse.

[@solfdez33366]

Mucho mejor q six feet under

[@horse6412]

Lots of slayer influence

[@WeedVulva]

It was a big deal if your drummer could keep a thrash beat going for more than 45 seconds, that made you an acceptable band. This is cool, amateurish is some parts but has the spirit.

[@pipe16ss]

exactly!! why cant anyones see it that way?? Fisher fits better in CC and Barnes (God) in SFU!

[@Rejoice.]

@star6914207 so you didnt know who Slayer was by 85-86 your lying any1 into this kind of metal new what Slayer was and was probaly later influenced it seems your lying

[@Rejoice.]

@star6914207 i wasnt saying you werent in the band just so you know im just saying your lying about not knowing Slayer i mean come on

[@MisfitBrad]

@purplehazethc Saying welcome to wal-mart

[@johnkelly3335]

1987

[@nolanb21]

He sounds like Don fucking Doty.

[@zakkcollier1498]

They were black metal?

[@satanertau2689]

Poorly recorded thrash,it's from a demo cassette.

[@ThaPhantazm]

other than the fact u cant understand what most death metal singers are saying.

[@Core703]

@EyeHateEmos the older it is the better

[@gonand17]

WAR THRAAAASH!

[@goatfil]

tv..man

[@flankieaap]

@tatonghudas lol i dont even was a spermcell :P

[@idimsspectral4307]

Wuooo violence and aggressive band total mosh atackk big times

[@Whackooyzero]

No, no ,no! Just because it's "heavier", it doesn't have nearly as menacing as a sound as thrash. With death the vocalists tend to growl, and the guitar tends to play more straight up chords, blast beats and bass that mimics the guitar. Thrash has higher vocals which have that demon shrieking feel, drums are more memorable and are more imaginative, bass has a little bit more individuality, overall if there's any supreme metal its thrash.

[@giddy123456]

@KissMeImPunk well compared to death metal, not as much lol, especially cannibal corpse

[@belialthegreat666]

i'm not really a trash kind of guy but i'm not clueless i love destruction sodom old toxic holocaust slayer and ect but i like tirant better

[@elvissorna8861]
