LORNA SHORE - To the Hellfire FIRST reaction

[@cannedmeat9933]

5:35 you mentioned you wanted to hear him sing live. He actually had a one take vocal play through of this song and many others, and it’s incredibly close to what you hear in the final cut here

[@alessandromalvasi7768]

To me the one take it's even much better than the "official" take

[@Timber_Rueschi]

As the voice in the one take stands out more in the mix…definitely make this masterpiece even better

[@GregPolkinghorne]

They've just layered his voice with a couple tracks in the album version. You can hear him do the deeper and higher screams at the same time. In the one take obviously he just does one at a time so it's more like a live version.

[@deed5811]

I concur! Watch his one take kzbin.info/www/bejne/jICWf4Z-oJiqopI

[@JUNK_ZONE]

When it comes to metal, if it sounds impossible for one voice to do it's usually just more layers of a vocalist doing something else to accent the initial sound. They tend not to do any editing trickery unless it's a very blatant effect choice (like a low pitched trap vocal thing or a EDM robot voice) or singing with some help from autotune.

[@lewishowl5100]

Welcome the Lorna rabbit hole. Next suggestion for you is to here his live performance in one take of this - on his channel :P

[@sabina1118]

Thanks! Need to check that out!

[@inspecG]

Vouch! Its even better then the album version! Belive it or not! You lust do a reaction of that too!

[@LeperMessiah2]

​@@inspecG the mix on the OG one takes and covers.. 👀 are much better also.

[@JariJuslin]

This song is a masterpiece. It contains a *huge* variety of different styles both instrumentally and vocally and moves between very different sections and still it seems like a balanced and harmonious in some sense. Like there's nothing there that feels out of place, or nothing that sounds like it's there just to show off. It's a complete story and nothing more.

[@starolesyev]

Sounds like a death core version of Cradle of Filth

[@nietzscheente1271]

[@williammaguire5475]

And to add Will Ramos is one of the sweetest most humble guy in the industry. Charismatic voice did a KZbin video with him putting a camera down his throat! And yes look up the lead singers one take videos And if you want more Lorna shore Pain remains 1,2,3 all back to back you will feel every single emotion

[@steveratcliffe2181]

Great reaction. Your typed comments were spot on. Even without the vocals, the mix of the brutal and orchestral is emotional. Will is incredible. He has a great singing voice too. Personally, deathcore is not my metal thing. I grew up in the 80s so my taste is traditional and thrash and some nu metal. However, Lorna has hit something in me. Others have recommended The Pain Remains Trilogy. I agree. Its a masterpiece, but its hard . Thanks again.

[@sabina1118]

Thanks!! Yea this was so Wild but amazing

[@TheGamingWard]

[@daetros1626]

There is obviously layering and some post production on the vocals but no significant effects producing his vocal sounds. That's all Will! Check out the interview and lab visit he did with The Charismatic Voice. He's an absolute monster and a uniquely talented vocalist.

[@ThaBeatConductor]

What I always like most, is they use layered vocals pretty much everywhere BUT the breakdowns, when the most crazy noises happen.

[@Vatvor]

Can you imagine that this band created a very emotional song? 'Pain Remains I' did something to a lot of metalheads that they never thought possible. Even if you would like to see/hear Lorna Shore live, the Pain Remains songs must be experienced with the official music videos. And if you are still able to do this after part 1, then you are welcome to do parts 2 and 3 directly afterwards. I don't want to add more now so as not to spoil too much. 🤘❤‍🔥

There's no effect on his voice, except for a little distortion on his voice at the very beginning. Other than the intro, its all natural. He has a 1 take live vocal playthrough of this song so you can see its all real! If you actually did enjoy this, the absolutely check out Sun//Eater, or Pain Remains part 1 by these guys.

[@sabina1118]

Sick!

[@Justin-nq6kf]

There's more parts that you can clearly hear effects as with most studio takes

[@du_auch_da4520]

The only "effects" regarding his singing is layering different screams over each other sometimes. (Mby a bit distortion also, can't say anything about that)

[@xionic1194]

There's no such thing as a studio recorded song without effects. The beginning uses a high pass (not distortion), there's parts with layered vocals, especially the chorus, and the vocal will be EQed to bring out the right tones. Even the one-take has effects on, it just doesn't have layered vocals. Not to detract from Wills skill but there are definitely effects

[@notahoagie8470]

@Xionic I think you took my comment in the complete wrong direction. Of course there's EQ and all that jazz, my point was he doesn't just sing straight clean vocals into a microphone and it comes out as harsh vocals. He's doing the harsh vocals himself.

[@rapisidro4821]

Love it! Finally reached Lorna Shore. They do ballads too, i suggest Pain Remains pt.1, it's something really special.

I concur. That one take performance really drives it home how versatile and good he is.

[@KrisThroughGlass]

Awesome reaction! So here are the thre related videos I would love to see you check out next 1. One of Will Ramos (the singer) one take vocal performances of a Lorna Shore song 2. There's a video on the channel of The Charismatic Voice in which scientists put a camera down Wiil's through, to see what's going on when he's done these harsh vocals. The video is not than an hour, but the actual part in the voice lab is only maybe 10 minutes (?), which should work for a reaction 3. Will Ramos cover of Chokehold (by Sleep Token) Greetings from Germany

[@alexthorpe6583]

When this came out in the summer of 2021, pretty much everyone was shocked by it. Then we get used to it, and learn to love it. I was smiling hard all through your reaction. Lorna Shore is from New Jersey, and Will Ramos was not their first singer, but this was their first song with him, and he really put them on the map. He's a grand master of extreme vocal techniques. He's also a really nice guy, became really good friends with Elizabeth Zarkov of the Charismatic Voice channel, and it's said that interviewing him is like being handed an excited puppy. It really is all his voice, they just use a lot of layers here. There's also a video out of him doing it live in one take.

[@ComdrHersh]

Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Lorna Shore! This whole EP and their most recent two albums are masterpieces and definitely worth a listen. They are one of my all time favorites and I listen to them daily. Yet I still find myself laughing during a lot of their songs because it can be so much to process.

[@wolfinthesno]

One take Vocal To the hellfire. You will be just blown away again by the same track. But seeing this live....is otherworldly. I have seen it live twice now, and both times were just amazing!

[@TrashcanActual]

There is a vocal "one-take" version where Will performs the song solo in a booth without effects. It's amazing.

[@maximilian_ggdas]

Nope, that is Will Ramos' voice. There is a lot of layering going on but it is just him. You can see him do it live in a vocal playthrough on in channel. I like that version even more. There is a lot of "extended vocal techniques" going on.

[@sabina1118]

Crazy...!!

[@AMongoose87]

I dont feel like people listen to lorna shore, rather they experience lorna shore. Its mind boggling the things they do and the depths they go to. Definitely check out sun eater and into the earth before checking out the pain remains trilogy. That trilogy is a legitimate masterpiece that i feel is better appreciated after hearing a few of their other songs to get an idea of their general sound, only to have them flip the table and give you an emotional gut punch. Great reaction as always 👍

[@moocow2oo426]

Absolutely agree!!!

[@OldeManBenji]

PLEASE check out his one take vocals of this. Those vocals are allll him. Will Ramos is on another level.

If you want to see him sing live, you should check one of his one takes of the bands songs, the singer is named Will Ramos. He has is own youtube channel with his one takes and song covers 😊

[@capstan50g]

I was taken aback my first listen as well. I was also put off, until I realized that this band's writing is very introspective. They really focus on the internal human experience, with its mix of darkness and light, but always melancholy. Along with others, I'd recommend you listen to lead singer Will Ramos's one-take vocal version. He's super-friendly IRL, but brother what a voice! Great reaction, Sabina!

[@boneless9305]

The 1 take of this song specifically is a must watch.... Will is one of the most talented modern vocalists in the genre

[@Matjo7588dk]

This is why we love metal. Good metal have it all. its emotional and amazing. And the talent and skill of these people... Well your every day pop artist won't be able to play a metal song. There is a reason, people that listen to metal are generally happier and more kind. Its just liberating and amazing. And also with that. Everything here is possible to do live. Drums, guitar, vocals. Sure there are edits and added things, as there is to any track that is release these days. But nothing that alter what the musicians is doing.

[@sabina1118]

Well said

[@williamsummerson1204]

Loved your reaction sabina. Lorna Shore is a phenomenal band, the lead singer Will Ramos is beyond talented, you should really check out his one take vocal performances and his vocal covers of sleep Token's songs Hypnosis and Chokehold. His clean vocals are beautiful and powerful. 🤘❤

Perfect reaction. Lorna Shore has a way of grabbing you and sucking you in. Yes, there was vocal editing and layering, but it's all Will. I saw them recently, and this was the encore. The whole concert was outstanding from start to finish. They really do play at this speed, they are all some of the best. Watch some of the play throughs from Austin on drums, Adam on guitar, and of course Will. Will has been described as an ADHD puppy, in the best sense. Heckuva guy, funny, warm, and very down to earth.

[@600mikey]

If you want to hear him similar to live, you should watch his one takes. He does their songs without all the effects to show his real talent

[@MegaRomans01]

I have the same model headphones they are great! lol I always kinda felt like it's cool having them as beat up as I do just from listening. you are actually the only person I have seen with the black coming off the band as well, respect for listening to that much music.

I seen them live for the first time last week and OMG they are so amazing. It was insane! Loved them so much. Definitely go see them live if you get a chance.

[@JariJuslin]

After you have watched the one take vocal performance of this (by Will Ramos, of course), check the Charismatic Voice episode where they put camera down his throat to see how exactly do these sounds form. This was actual science, because the human sound production researchers making the imaging had themselves never seen how the throat looks when making sounds like these either. So it was exploration of unknown to all people involved.

[@aswefall0]

yooo im so glad you've been introduced to lorna shore! their singer Will Ramos has a youtube channel he does live perfomances on, super cool you should check it out

It's some of their most amazing work. Deathcore love story, lol. No kidding. It's unreal. Emotional rollercoaster. It will blow you away. Love this reaction, so it would be cool to see these guys blow you away again. Oh and Will's clean vocals... look that up too. He's got amazing range. But please... The Pain Remains next.

The only effects on his voice is layered vocals. They basically layered low and high screams / growls on top of each other to make it sound a bit more intese, but Will is still performing every scream heard in the track 100% legitimately.

Some reactors said they felt lightheaded and scared😂 The thing why many not accustomed to this music is because metal is very often written/structured the same way as classical music. Here they even add digital choirs and orchestra. A huge Black Metal band that does this is Dimmu Borgir. Gateways live from Oslo with full orchestra and choir is a must watch even if it's old now. 92 people on stage. Dvd quality video and audio (professional)

Its interesting that you mention that it sound like a choir of demons, since the song is about dying and going to hell. The EP this is from has a death, after life and rebirth theme and this is the death part. Austin their drummer can play that fast live. Although doing it for 10 years (he joined the band in 2012) has taken a toll on his body in terms of herniated discs in his back.

[@RoyceX24]

Please do another Lorna Shore reaction ❤

[@georgehenry8391]

I think you did very well with that, encountering it for the first time. I first heard it a few months ago, and can assure you that this song, and Lorna Shore's music in general, gets more enjoyable and less discomfiting with repeated exposure. I could probably go to sleep to it by now. I recommend that you listen to Will Ramos's live one-take vocal performance of this song, although the only thing revelatory about it is that he can do exactly what you just heard live. The drummer, Austin Archey, also does playthroughs of their songs, which are interesting and very impressive to watch. I think the guitarist does playthroughs as well. To get a sense of what Will is like as a person, The Charismatic Voice (reactor Elizabeth Zharoff) now features a couple of collaborative reactions between Elizabeth (whose background is as an opera singer) and Will, to songs by the band Sleep Token. (Will is very likeable -- upbeat, friendly and animated.) I think you'd enjoy Sleep Token's music, as well.

[@djvar94]

3:38 they have edited his voice a bit in the mastered version. But there is a One Take Vocal Playthrough on Will Ramos' KZbin Channel (Lorna Shore's lead vocalist) where you can hear his voice unprocessed and you can hear it sounds pretty much the same as this.

This masterpiece is incredible.. it’s called blackened deathcore.. not only are these guys extraordinary in musicianship, but will Ramos ( the lead singer) is beyond awesome.
