Lorna Shore vs Opera "And I Return To Nothingness" REACTION & ANALYSIS by Vocal Coach / Opera Singer

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

[@TankTheTech]

So excited to see you check this one out. Way more symphonic and composed than "To The Hellfire", and in my opinion, and absolute masterpiece. Also, I just like seeing you get scared by metal vocalists. 😂 Also, whoever dislikes these videos before they even premier definitely didn't get hugged as a child.

[@FearOfTheDark]

I always love your comments :D

[@oglschmitt]

Or perhaps they missed some trips to the woodshed. I always give the videos a thumbs up before, during, or after. This in spite of the fact that I have not been hugged as an adult by Elizabeth. I love this song, I thought your reaction to it was awesome and I can't wait to see Elizabeth's take. Also, I am super jealous of your beard.

[@nebulaeusprime5955]

I think we all like seeing her get scared by metal vocalists :P Your reaction to this song was epic as well, btw.

[@Kelly_Cook]

Of the Abyss is even better. I would love to see her react to the live video of it.

[@sebyperion]

Absolutely agree. Of The Abyss is the best of the three. :D

[@metalxhead]

I love this channel because Elizabeth is just as stoked to interview James LaBrie as she is Will Ramos. Generally, if you were to show ...And I Return To Nothingness to someone who's not a metalhead, they'll just grimace and immediately shut down. Elizabeth's open-mindedness and professionalism lets her appreciate (extreme) metal, which gives me the opportunity to learn how to better appreciate music, metal, and vocalists. So happy to have found The Charismatic Voice.

I really think that the italian saying "una faccia, una razza" (a face, a race) perfectly applies to metal fans and classical fans. I became interested in classical music after years and years of metal for example, and my classical fans friends became metalheads after years and years of classical music

[@xXclapXx]

Will is amazing. But the other band member's do not get enough credit in my opinion. The drummer, from the sound of his double bass should hold an Olympic leg press record.

[@abeginnerspov5968]

He is a machine gun. He is a fucking machine gun!!!

[@torch357]

for sure, I'm a huge fan of will and how he sounds with the band, but there's a reason they've been through 3 vocalists and are still making bangers

[@tye829]

Really happy for Will and Lorna Shore with their success. Normally, when a band is on its third vocalist, it’s not a good thing, and people are all like, “I liked their old stuff.” Will Ramos is a rare example of an absolute beast taking the band to new heights

[@nuts4414]

I just love that these incredible musicians get recognized for how much technique is used to create such a powerful sound. Great review and analysis Elizabeth, as always!

[@fredbarnes2049]

Will's vocals are unique in their fluidity, if not in the individual sounds. Most of his styles have been done before, but he's like a linguist comparing languages. His versatility alone is stunning. And he does a mean pig squeel too! Great analysis!

[@RustyGonzo]

That's a great way to summarize what makes him so great in my eyes. Like, don't get me wrong. When I heard Will do nearly the same exactly snort/snarl bit that Dickie Allen originally did in Unholy Gravebirth I was like, "wait wait this dude's just jacking shit!" lol, but once I heard a few more tracks and especially now with these vocal playthrus it's exactly like you said: he's borrowing and learning from so many greats before him and putting it all together so creatively and flawlessly. Been super stoked about this live series.

[@fredbarnes2049]

@@Βασίλειος-ν5τ rude much?

[@mikesrandomchannel]

Fluidity is a great point… a lot of these kinds of vocals are delivered staccato, punctuated by breaths, snarls, or whatever. But Will does kind of a melismatic harsh vocal that is really something else.

[@amandapatten772]

I almost took the EP as being the Divine Comedy by Dante. Into the Hellfire as Inferno, Of the Abyss as Pergatorio, And I Return to Nothingness as Paradiso. It's a perfectly crafted EP either way.

[@oglschmitt]

If "Into the Hellfire" was the sound of some great beast crawling out of a stygian pit, then "And I Return to Nothingness" is the soundtrack to that same beast, now freed, going on a rampage. I love how the symphonic elements impart an almost sorrowful, haunting quality. I love how the band members use their absurd virtuosity not for empty showboating, but to impart a sense of great urgency and near chaos (are you sure that's not Krakino on drums?). I love how Will employs his vocal mastery. His rapid fire, staccato grunts, lion-like roars, and blood curdling Nazgul shrieks give this monster a voice that is utterly inhuman yet complex and somehow emotionally resonant. Elizabeth barely made it out of "Into the Hellfire " with her sanity, will she survive this musical apocalypse? Well, where there is Will, there's a way.

[@andrewsnyder3056]

In case you aren't aware, those high notes he's hitting towards the end of the runs in the guitar solo are called "Pinch Harmonics". It's a special technique when you strike the guitar string with your pick and your finger in a precise way to produce that squeal for pretty much any note. That's what Dimebag used in the main hook riff in Cemetery Gates!

[@andrewsnyder3056]

Also while I'm here, I have to recommend you react to the phenomenal up and coming Finnish band Beast in Black. I have a feeling their song Midnight Rendezvous would rock your socks. And I can't mention Beast in Black without an honorable mention for Battle Beast, who's singer was featured on an awesome power metal ballad by the legendary Hammerfall called Second to One.

I love the detailed analysis that you give for the metal singers which is a genre that has been overlooked by many vocal coaches until recently, a wonderful video showing you knowledge and enthusiasm in equal measure. I think you would be fascinated (as I was) by the one take "To the Hellfire" video Will Ramos made, I am sure you will have fun looking in greater depth how he makes those ungodly noises. All the best!

Would love to see you react to Cattle Decapitation. Their singer, Travis Ryan, has some really crazy ranges as well, and his "clean" melodic parts sound akin to a bridge troll. Most recently he's included some really low actual clean singing as well. Bring Back the Plague, Kingdom of Tyrants, and Ave Exitium + Pacific Grim are all stand outs, but their masterpiece is an epic cinematic video they did "The Unerasable Past", which is the closer to their most recent release Death Atlas (technically a combo of the songs The Unerasable Past as prelude to the title track). Travis really showcases his range and styles there. Super react worthy, amazing song and video. PLEASE!!

[@semaj_5022]

You know, I strongly recommend checking out Gojira. Joe is a unique vocalist in that his growls actually have a pitch, and it's really interesting to hear and I'd love to hear your thoughts, especially now that you're much better acquainted with metal of all kinds. I'd recommend starting with the song "Stranded," but "Flying Whales" or "Sphinx" would work, too. Love your videos though and looking forward to watching your interview with Will after work tonight.

You're something special for this one. Well done!

I'm new to your channel and really love how you breakdown and analyze these vocal performances. Just curious if you've ever considered reviewing any of Kate Bush's work- I think your analysis would be fascinating. Again- thank you for your channel 🙏

Hello Elizabeth, could you do a reaction to David Byron of Uriah Heep? He had very interesting quasi-opera and emotional vocals. Uriah Heep itself was kind of a "bridge" between Deep Purple and bands like Queen/Rainbow and Judas Priest/Iron Maiden (Rob Halford took a lot of inspiration from Byron's vocals). They played a combination of hard - art - progressive rock and proto heavy metal with wild organ sound and cool vocal harmonies. For the first listening I recommend one of their hits "July Morning" from 1971 album "Look at Yourself" (studio version is better).

July Morning is definitely a fantastic gem you should listen to, but If interested, you can also check out these songs: - heavy "Gypsy" and energetic "Look At Yourself" - 16-minute orchestral opus "Salisbury" - Fast tempo rock hit "Easy Livin'" - "Bird of Prey" with fascinating vocal performance - Dramatic "The Paradise/The Spell" with beautiful piano, amazing slow guitar solo and great back vocals - Slow metal "Rainbow Demon" with low vocals and melodic folk "The Park" sung fully in high register - And "Return To Fantasy" from Uriah Heep's penultimate album with Byron.

Can’t wait to see you react to Cattle Decapitation one day!! Great music and definitely a memorable/unique singer in Travis Ryan.
