Periphery - Dracul Gras (Female Vocal Cover)

It's October, and that means it's spooky season, which means vampires... Of course I had to cover Dracul Gras from Periphery V: Djent Is Not a Genre! Doing this song felt like doing 3 songs lol. But there were a lot of fun vocal textures to explore!

Major Meshuggah vibes from that guitar. Love it.

[@aqualungman6997]

Love this! I love your interpretation of Spencer's harsh vocals!

[@kaylenebarber]

Thank you so much!! I’ve been working hard on them! 💪🏻

[@maxplay6563]

I'm so amazed, my fav moments : 1:26 1:54 (the sing/scream aaah) 3:04 (that harmonyyyy) 6:50 (vocal textures) 7:46 (BLOOOD LIKE WIIIIINE) Thanks for your quality covers, love that you keep experimenting things and honestly they pay off !

[@kaylenebarber]

Thank you so much!! 🩵 some of those are my favorite parts of Spencer’s performance as well!! Especially “whispers” and “blood like wine”!!

[@FutakuchiMana]

This is so fucking good omg!

[@danielanfelt7893]

Wow! Really well done.

[@jasonpoland5507]

Nicely Done!!!

[@manonganonman]

I've never POGGED quite so fast! And a 9 minute song isn't that far away from 16 minute Reptile... just sayin' 👀

[@kaylenebarber]

Thank you much!! And this is true, though there are some long stretches of instrumental in there! Reptile is on my list. Sometime next year for sure 🦎 🐍 🐊

[@blakealbert7451]

😂 I was going to say race car next but reptile is a good one too.. props well done!

[@StephenCooper71]

I'm loving the evolution of your screams over time! Definitely a pleasantly unique contrast to your cleans. Amazing work!!

[@kaylenebarber]

Thanks so much Stephen! I’ve been workin hard on the screams, so that means a lot to me! ☺️

[@eugeneovsiannikov4474]

Great job with this one! My most loved track in the album

[@kaylenebarber]

Thank you!! It’s a super fun song!

[@alisiademi]

My favorite from the new album!! Wonderful

[@kaylenebarber]

Thank you so much!! 🥰

[@kaylenebarber]

[@tybreelo9304]

Yet again your voice is awesome, and this sounds amazing! Looking forward to future Periphery covers

[@kaylenebarber]

Thank you!! ☺️

Mad respect for taking on this track! Great job on the performance. 🤙🏽

[@ACardFan]

Perfectly timed for spooky season! 🎃🕸️👻

[@kaylenebarber]

You know it!! 🧛🏻‍♀️🩸🦇

[@TheScorpio1999]

I was caught off-guard in a good way by this performance! Going up an octave in what I call the "Mike Patton section" ( "mirror image the child of coddled demeanor) - that was so clever. Interesting adaptation there; that part's so melodically weird isn't it? And the screams. You got so good, so quickly, at this. Amazing job.

[@kaylenebarber]

Thanks Josh! 🤘🏻 if I tried singing that part in the same register as Spencer, it would sound like grunting 😂 I know it doesn’t always sound like it, but I am a soprano! Also, I really appreciate your comment on my screams!!! Having this channel has really pushed me to work on them!! 😊

[@TheScorpio1999]

"All grunt before the pale one!" But yeah I can see how some parts are like that. Where it's in that weird gray area of "I can hit the note but coming from me, it wouldn't sound right." The struggle is real for me as an alto.

[@kaylenebarber]

@TheScorpio1999 I actually laughed out loud at that 😂

[@HugoStiglitz88]

Yea dude. That section has always reminded me of Mike Patton too. Especially "mortality". Sounds 100% like how Mike would sing it

[@wae2117]

Can you do "Thank you Nobuo"? I love that song.

[@dottibrothers]

Omg, Awesome. I love this song \m

[@kaylenebarber]

Thank you!! 🩵

[@mylife1221]

STOP IIIIIIT you're so good it actually hurts. i wasn't 100% sure if your voice would work well with this song for some reason, but you just taught me i need to stop assuming. i honestly like this a lot more than some of your covers of the poppier songs

[@kaylenebarber]

You know what they say about people who make assumptions! They make an ass out of U and ‘Mption. (It’s funnier out loud) Thank you so much! I’m always happy to pleasantly surprise ☺️

[@lubko1996]

Your work is outstanding and the amount of work you put in is tremendous! Thank you!❤

[@pranavsalunkeguitar]

woohoo my favorite song from the album!! You nailed it and your screams are just getting better and better! 🙌🙌

[@kaylenebarber]

Thanks Pranav! I’m glad you think so!!! 😊

[@Heinrick192]

This was my top song according to Spotify, and I think you did it better! Sick work.

[@jorgetorres5764]

Was anticipating this one! Really great job. And the attire has vampiric vibes which is a nice touch!

[@kaylenebarber]

Thank you so much!! And thanks for noticing the vampire-core aesthetic too; it was absolutely intentional 😂

[@iooosef6006]

This is super amazing! ❤ Can't wait for more Periphery covers.

[@faiIsafe]

Absolutely phenomenal, your screams and harsh vocals are on par with Victor Borba, and maybe even Spencer himself! I'm hyped for more Periphery content, especially if it's from Periphery IV! I'm willing to bet you'll smash it out of the park with Reptile and Satellites!

[@kaylenebarber]

Thank you for making my day with your kind words 🩵 I have Reptile and Satellites on the list! I have Reptile planned for sometime next year, and Satellites will be the 5k subscriber special. I’m not sure which one will end up being first, but probably Reptile!

[@kaylenebarber]

Yesss I love to hear that!! 🩵

[@HugoStiglitz88]

This is awesome and you look awesome too! Great song choice, i think its one of their masterpieces. Such a cool vibe to it. Your screams are getting better and the cleans as always were amazing! Thanks for another great cover! 👍

Had to watch the banshee scream at 7:45 at least 10 times. Absolutely insane

[@kaylenebarber]

Being compared to a banshee is highest praise!! Thank you 🥹 That part is my favorite!!

[@JTriggerVideos]

Amazing as always, those screams are top notch!!

[@kaylenebarber]

I really appreciate that 🤯

Best musical cover hailing a "Fat Dragon"

[@kaylenebarber]

Hah that’s kinda funny that it translates to dragon 🐉 devil 😈 or Dracula 🧛🏻‍♂️ depending on the language! Thank you so much 🩵

[@Kittylover184]

Great video! Always nice to see a new take on a song I like! I'd love to see reptile next, although I imagine it would be a massive undertaking!

[@darkphoenix2]

whoa, the "time" at 0:54 sounded like a new tone for you, more of a growl, nice some of the other screams sound like they have a little more...I dunno, body? I'm not a vocal expert but you must be getting better

[@kaylenebarber]

Hey thanks so much!! This is very encouraging for me to hear!! 😁

[@darkphoenix2]

@@kaylenebarber honestly there are other little things you deserve kudos for, you made some changes like the way you end "pale" at 4:15, almost going falsetto with it? Spencer does it with his signature grit but you took it in a prettier direction and it works too

[@kaylenebarber]

@@darkphoenix2aww thanks, I’m glad you liked that part! Tbh, what Spencer did there is a bit trickier in my opinion, but flipping to falsetto is fun and different so I gave it a shot! 😊
