I don’t understand why Tom is never in discussions of best current vocalists. He’s absurd with how consistently insane he is.

[@TheShmrsh]

Natural talent

[@feasttree]

Probably because he tends to not do whatever is currently popular in the scene and does his own thing. Dude rips

[@cdula26]

Because he’s not a trend follower doing all of the excessive gutturals and snarls in breakdowns like Lorna shore or brand of sacrifice 🤷🏻‍♂️ but that’s what the kids are into these days

[@Gundoor]

Im not sure what discussions you are going to. People give him his flowers all of the time deservedly.

[@xj3ster145]

As much as Will Ramos is a great vocalist, I completely agree with this statement. He is significantly underrated and after seeing Lorna Shore live, I was bitterly disappointed in the quality of their live sound. I saw Tom live with Chelsea Grin and he was just fucking unreal. The quality difference was substantial. Too many people sit on trends and follow the herd. I think Tom has a very distinctive and unique voice, there is so much grit and bite to his vocal range. Would love Darko to perform live sometime, would easily go over to the States for it.

[@pgrimmygrimm]

Is it me or does Tom sound even better recorded live?

[@Thatskatermetalgirl]

Agree!

[@whatsupmanbearpig]

Darko: Drops new album. Drops new ep. Also Darko: oh by the way more music soon. It’s mind blowing what these two have done together.

[@tyesullivan5480]

The perks of being independent, you can release music whenever you want rather than having it sit in the pipeline for over a year.

[@hamm8934]

Less people in the band makes you more lean and effective. Bands are out dated. Rock is the only genre holding onto this antiqued music structure. Darko is proof of that in metal.

[@scry5]

not to mention the 2 albums Chelsea grin are dropping/dropped

[@DJKronikCam710]

They just keep cranking out banger after banger, they're fuckin animals! Lol josh, in an interview, said he was inspired by some of the new rappers how they can pump out multiple albums a year and how those albums have like 30-40 songs and he wants to push for that with Darko! It's so fuckin awesome

[@yourWronglol]

They want people to keep listening to their music, because after an month of listening to oni or dethmask pt 2, you definitely want something new, we want something new, so Josh understand that, making us fans spoiled with good music 😭

​@@Kaboose93 yeah it's a piggy but just in a more guttural form. I do them a lot.

[@sqlb3rn]

Sounds like feedback from stuffing the mic down his neck

[@waylonbowling6555]

Most everything low he does sounds like a guttural/false chord hybrid. Can definitely hear the pocket of resonance being shaped by his tongue pulling back into his throat to create that “gurgle,” but it almost sounds like he’s literally projecting a false chord overlay around the constriction used to make the guttural sound. Very reminiscent of how I pull off my Alex Terrible-type lows, but I never would have thought to throw a squeal into the mix. Tom’s insane man.

[@hamm8934]

Finally a metal artist that realizes that having fewer members is better. This is part of why every other genre has been dominating rock for decades. Rap, edm, country, pop, etc have fewer members or are completely solo acts. Bands are a thing of the past. Just as the electric guitar made full bands (20-40 members) obsolete at the start of last century, so has DAWs and backing tracks to 3-8 person bands. The more people you have, the harder it is to bite the initial overhead of touring and production. Also less morons getting in the way and being dead weight. If you want the live sound, hire a touring band once you can afford it. No reason to add this cost when you’re starting out, or during the writing process. Glad Darko is taking a note from SoundCloud. Other bands will hopefully follow suit.
