SUMERIAN VOCAL AUDITION - Andy Cizek

[@matonkst1450]

Bands should be auditioning for you.

[@Cabinet_Juice]

He has his own band WVNDER

[@Cbamptronious]

and they are also awesome

[@tacobender5000]

If only this was Soviet Russia

Nah finished/finishing tour with Monuments, part of "Makari"

[@regigigachad6356]

He’s in the bands WVNDER, Makari, and Monuments

[@uh0hstinky]

I have a one and a half year old son with a seizure disorder that basically leaves him functioning at a newborn level. I have a playlist full of songs all random and scattered but whenever your songs come on he lights up, smiles and starts to become physically active. You bring our family a lot of joy. Thanks Andy

[@andycizek]

That's amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@mikeypeepee]

Gimme Wafflez cannabis cbd drops trust me!!!!!

[@uh0hstinky]

Michael Pagan we've had him on Charlottes Web CBD since the seizures started. That paired with another medication stopped the seizures and he hasn't had one for almost 1 year. Great stuff 👍🏼

[@II_Holocene_II]

And people say the marijuana plant is dangerous. If you take the thc out, it has very good medical abilities that don't get you high. Congrats on 1 year of seizure free!

That awkward moment where the audition has 7 times the views of the actual song. This IS the song for me.

[@thisdoesnotexist2]

Sage Leal this one is miles ahead of the official one

[@ryzorzen]

805k vs 127k yikes! Even having vocals produced by Jonathan Davis didn't make the official track stick with people, and now Lee has his solo album coming out. A sad flop, it would seem. Andy's version is so dope, so glad Sumerian didn't try and take down this video (I'm sure they could).

Still salty in 2018? Yikes. "May the best man win" ever heard of that expression..

I'm now here from the Nik nocturnal and Charlie on the podcast. I never knew Andy til I recently got into Nik well recent like last couple years. An I fell off from following the metal scene even as a metal head an musician. I just took a huge break on KZbin an stuff. So I missed out on so much.

[@jdog_7599]

Is this an original song?

[@MrMooseish]

For the audition you had to make up your own lyrics to the music. This dude did an amazing job, i dont understand why he dident get the part even if they said no screaming this is just so good.

[@weapon_x261]

If Sumerian didn't pick you up, Shame on them. You killed it just like you always do

[@alnewick]

It's been 4 years and I'm STILL feel frustration. You were robbed of the win Andy. This is a whole different calibre of songwriting and vocal performance compared to any and every other audition/submission. I am still trying to understand what Sumerian were thinking when they decided that Devin would win. You were robbed. You have a potentially generation defining voice that is so undeniably versatile and powerful but pure and angelic at the same time. Plus your insane songwriting... Unreal.

Hes no longer with us now but your voice moved him further than he ever thought he would go. This was his favorite song. There wasnt a day he would go without listening to it. I believe he felt every word you sang in this to a personal level. May we meet again my dear friend. I love you Ryan Newsome. Rest in Paradise

It’s crazy how the first time I came across this majestic man I was 16 in the most difficult emotional state I ever found myself in and this song took me away from all the retched things the world showed me

[@dylanlee5701]

clifford is my first name , and fucking same bother. only i was 24 lol

[@KaneDuister]

I have this added on my vocal practice routine playlist. Everytime I listen to it I am inspired. Everytime I sing it I feel a little more confident in myself as a singer. Thank you for being awesome, Andy.

[@ryanparks5828]

this is the best audition tape i've seen so far, id even say you're better than some of the vocalist they have signed already

[@TheFinalIllusion]

I often come back to this. Been stuck in my head for years. It's a shame you never won this contest, but im so glad to have watched you grow so much beyond a vocal contest. you proved yourself as a front man and a lyricist. Proud of you dude

[@drewcooney7314]

You know its real when the tongue and neck veins are poppin'. This is so good, I already know the chorus melody after one listen. Good on ya and good luck man

[@kennethl.53]

Vocals and lyrics fit the song perfectly.

[@gabbadahutt]

I still come back to this video every once in a while just to enjoy how good this audition is!

[@damioncano895]

I keep this on repeat.

[@rxqueen6064]

damion cano same! Ever since it came out 😁 I can't stop listening to it!

[@SaintTrinasTorch]

Dude this is amazing!

[@ElectricGlacier]

What's up dude! haha. This guy is my favorite as well.

[@odinson6528]

Still here in 2024 lol I just can't stop coming back to this. You definitely should've won this.. js \m/

[@bearbear614]

There hasn't been anyone else even close to your audition. Lyrics, melody, and that incredible voice/range. I'm rooting for you.

[@jamesdaniels5379]

you cant possibly know what this song means to me at this moment. Im going through some things at this moment and its a rough go for me spiritually and mentally. My wife told me she isnt happy anymore, we have a son together. She isnt denying my right to see him, but I have nothing. Ive got to build everything from the ground up and Im still keeping hope she will change her mind. This particular sing makes me realize there is hope if I want it. Andy you sang it perfectly, I really want to thank you and say keep writing and singing. You never know what it means to anyone.

[@andycizek]

Hang in there, pal. Thanks for the kind words.

[@ShawnKurtis]

James Daniels sending prayers!

[@MullilluM]

James Daniels You've got this, man.

[@HourEleven]

best of luck to you, stay fucking strong.

[@tacobender5000]

Happy Valentine's Day!

[@pathtomath8970]

literally one of the best voices this world has heard in awhile in the post hardcore scene. I mean dude. You and Jonny Craig are the best

[@new_found_corey]

Don't forget Tillian and Bradley Walden

[@lispuhizamustafa763]

And justin bonitz too

[@kenniboii192]

Rory Rodriguez.

[@Plumberboi91]

I cant believe he got passed up again. This kid has amazing vocals. this video got more views than any other audition and more views than the music track Sumerian released themselves. Bad call Sumerian.

[@ISNEddERSI]

who won?

[@hansolzy]

Man you're my favorite out the ones I've watched! Your range is impressive and your energy is contagious. Really digging the voice.

[@DavidNyquist2442]

I still cry everytime.

[@vandemented6418]

best one yet! weve got a winner here guys.

[@Stephen0]

You are clearly the best choice. Your vocals are the reason I even listened through the entire song. I had yet to do so with just the instrumental version.

[@LudaPlaysRetro]

2023 and this still amazing

[@ayyotrav9293]

Please upload to Spotify so I can add it to my "shit is amazing" playlist.

[@zhikenquo1353]

2 years later and I still cant believe this didn’t win. No disrespect to the winner of course, his was good too but this was just a masterpiece.

[@swornout5790]

Zhiken Quo too much range for Sumerian ig

[@ChristylizeTV]

I still listen to this every day. So incredible.

[@loganmfelliott8250]

I love how he ends the video nodding his head in approval. He knew that was the perfect take. This song is my life. 💙
