[@Tallah]

Thank you so much for the opportunity! Was a ton of fun. I love seeing how fast your channel is growing! Keep it up, and much love

[@KYRonDonTongLongSchlong]

Tallah is the new age Slipknot and no one can change my mind, pure raw emotion consistently. 👏🏽

[@maximef.994]

You're such an inspiration man, keep the sick vocals up !

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Thanks so much for hanging out, Justin. Looking forward to working on more stuff together!

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Was a blast!

[@ironicirony236]

Huge fan of this video's format. Hearing the perspective of the vocalist makes for an interesting watch. More please! Also been a big fan of Justin's since "Ghost Feet", still listen to that one daily! Keep up the awesome work guys.

[@allusivebumbleB]

This is just two dudes talking about metal and screaming at each other, I enjoyed this video.

[@rickyjk3]

Yes

[@ILikeSkulls666]

First time here? Lol dig it

[@nsiev7043]

Oh shit! You got Justin on the show? I’m fanboying so hard

[@KardavoxAcademy]

He's a rad dude!

[@Unknownusername1004]

Some people usually hate seeing an artist enjoying their own music like justin was in this video but as a musician if you don't personally enjoy what you created no one else will

[@KardavoxAcademy]

One of the most important lessons I learned about music is when the guitarist of a band called The Room Colored Charlatain said his band was his favorite. I was like "That sounds a little arrogant" and he replied "Why wouldn't I write music I love?". That kinda blew my mind. Now I Love when artists jam out to their own tunes.

[@user-bx8sj6qm3w]

Wait what, there are people out their who don't want artists to enjoy their own art???? I'm shocked. I dislike artists who HATE their work because they never perform it with soul.

[@Unknownusername1004]

@@user-bx8sj6qm3w I have several friends in bands that refuse to listen to their own music after the mastering stages unless it's a live show. They enjoy it but only on stage. Its ridiculous to me

[@yellowsaurus4895]

@@Unknownusername1004 When youve been working on a song for that long it gets really tiresome hearing it over and over again. Hell i get tired of hearing shit i just came up with 15 minutes ago.

[@Unknownusername1004]

@@yellowsaurus4895 I'm aware of that but it's still odd to me that they act that way about it. I get if it's a filler track they were only half in on to start with but when it's the clear standout of the EP it makes no sense to hate it

[@poopytootsface3489]

I don’t know why no one talks about the breakdown. It’s fucking insane!!

[@evanblake5252]

I see a lot of people talk about it. A lot of people don't talk about it enough too though.

[@poopytootsface3489]

Evan Blake yeah, I don’t know. It should be iconic

[@evanblake5252]

@@poopytootsface3489 I 100% agree. I think it will be considered so soon enough. Hopefully Tallah gets a lot more well deserved popularity.

[@gematrion4482]

On god!

[@evanblake5252]

@新聞記者 I've seen quite a few. Think at least a handful fail to talk about it. although part of that is some channels just remain as surface level and physical as possible with their reactions.

YASS!!!

Hahah he's definitely a rad person to hang with!

[@aaryamannambiar6677]

Justin is a ridiculously knowledgeable and practiced vocalist. This guy needs more attention!

[@garyhen1707]

Oh for sure!

[@SvenBout]

A 50 min long reaction video for a song that’s a little over 4 minutes. Gotta love it

[@SvenBout]

And you almost wouldn’t believe it’s justin making the noises when he speaks normally. He’s so talented

[@constancies]

My dog looked over at me when Justin did the insane sort of low-to-high scream that kicked off the ending of the song lmaoo

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Haha hell yeah - my dog gets irritated about my vocals almost daily :P

[@nicolasguastini8510]

After months of reading comments like “day 876 of asking you to react to Tallah” and “I am once again asking you to react to Tallah” Mark fully snapped on this one.

[@evanblake5252]

He did do Tallah once before, he did the Overconfidence vocal video. Probably a month or two ago.

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Haha what Evan Said!

[@Phlfwlr]

Justin can also do those whistle register screams. He’s seriously talented.

[@garyhen1707]

Some of his vocals have a serj from SOAD vibe too

[@maxwolf001]

@@garyhen1707 He definitely has the insanity vibes of the vocals from SOAD, so there's an inspiration at least

[@jbbya6040]

Not the kind of music I listen to, but I love this guy’s vibe and energy.

[@nehemiasgonzalez6989]

Justin is one of the most talented vocalist of our time

[@garyhen1707]

I full on agree!

[@romanarana]

Definitely he has such a crazy vocal range

[@shanescalise4592]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Most entertaining vocalist in the game. Mark my words, he will be huge one day.

[@godwings101]

This is going to be cool. Tallah has been an amazing band thus far.

[@triplzer0]

Right when the song started and he's "dancing" I'm like is this dude the extreme metal version of David Byrne?

[@ennessAU]

Peter Garret from Midnight Oil

[@silentype3008]

I love that sort of shit

[@etessier87]

Just two bros bro'ing hard! It made me smile seeing that in my notifications!

[@evanblake5252]

It's always nice seeing bros bro'ing together.

Just a buncha bros bein' dudes!

[@pieceoftrashkeith]

Hope to see a reaction video of "Blasphemian" with Dickie Allen soon

[@ins4nitych695]

yeah me to

[@EvilSewnit]

He did soil the stillborn already, I’d prefer to see Mark tackle a song from TBOY

[@RoguSpanish]

Man, anything with Dickie Allen would be amazing! I've seen his streams and he's super cool and funny. I think Plaguebearer or The Kingdom Sitteth etc would be great choices, there's a lot of shit to unpack in those ones.

[@ulqui6657]

I think any tracks from their new album would be much more cooler, especially "Empusa:Queen of the Damned"

[@cyanide-3945]

Yesss

[@majinwayzxp8540]

Two things: I LOVE the NuMetal feel to this song a lot AND I LOVE THIS DUDES ENERGY MAN! Fuck yeah

[@coulombeQC]

Ah yeah, this should be good!

[@elfmatw]

Justin is so fucking cool. I stumbled upon his Hungry covers years ago and listened to Hungry Lights and Tallah. Such an epic dude.

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Yeah, Justin is definietly an epic dude!

[@jarema9999]

Just as I was jamming all day to their song Overconfidence you upload this.. hyped

[@Jdz9]

Have you heard needless? Little bit of drama with it but my god is it good

[@LoneHerald]

Overconfidence is easily my favorite

[@_PatG_]

I still remember hearing justin do the whistle scream that everyone thought was a guitar pinch in that Jared dines vocal contest haha.

[@heathstory9655]

Tallah is such an interesting band. Especially for this day and age, they have such a unique sound. I hope you check out their new song "Vanilla Paste" . It's probably my favorite song from them now. You would enjoy reacting to it as well cuz there's like 3 vocalist features. It's sick!

[@craigsanders9268]

Justin is like a happy excited little kid and I'm vibing with it.

[@JosephRivera588]

So hyped for this! Hope to see more of these in the future

[@tevildo9383]

Guttural Slug is amazing! One of the main reasons I got into the really heavy side of death metal and slam.

[@oakholm]

You know it’s really good content when video is twice longer than the usual but it feels like 20mins! Justin has some crazy techniques and I loved to hear him breaking them down step by step. Keep up the good work Mark, gonna hop on to your Patreon later this year.

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Awesome! I'd love to see you there!

[@meganhausman1443]

Tallah is such an incredibly underrated band. They’re all enjoying themselves. I saw them recently live and holy shit. What. A. Show. Every single member of the band gave it 100000%.

[@nathantustin3270]

I audibly gasped and then did multiple fist pumps when I saw this thumbnail! Ahhhhh!

[@75jvs]

I am not into listening to music with a lot of screaming/growling, however you call it, but the techniques behind it I find so fascinating! I loved this video, and all others where you break it down for a newbie like me. Thanks for all this work!

[@A.Biatch_]

I’ve been watching Justin for so long. Since he was doing covers on bands, my favorite was when he did a cover of “the outsider” by a perfect circle. He even did “what does the fox say” and the “oompa loopma” song. I love you, Justin! I can’t wait for him to continue blowing up! 🤍❤️🤍

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Justin is great - proud to call him a friend of the channel!

[@A.Biatch_]

@@KardavoxAcademy You are very equally entertaining as well (and talented)! I actually subscribed after watching a few of your videos! Can't wait for the new content!

[@s.n.8128]

The thing i really enjoy about Justins sound, and other vocalists such as Darius from Spite is how they manage to get this feel of insanity into it.. It's a very difficult sound to describe with words, but let's look at Alex Terrible, he sounds like this huge fucking mean monster right, but Darius or Justin here, they legit sound like they're bout to go insane, which is a great fucking evil sound dude.

[@demonguysayshi2666]

Justin said that there's more tallah this year. I can't be the only one freaking out now, right?

[@mochikoumaewamou]

I am READY for this. I set an alarm and everything.

[@ethanbagley471]

L.E.D. switches between 7/8 and 8/8(or 4/4) I absolutely love this! I'm trying to learn the song on guitar and it's nuts. Hearing Justin talk about how he gets on time is super cool and unique. Edit: got to the end and that bits actually in 6/8 lol

[@forbearingmotorhead]

Been following Justin since his days of Hungry Covers. Man's a fucking beast of his own kind. Great to see where he's at now!

[@trscsaeg]

He uses so many different vocal styles in one song and makes them fit. I think that’s one of the things that really makes tallah stand out from so many others

[@lootaloover]

I’ve been listening to this dude’s vocals since I was 14, I’m 26 now. Seeing him finally getting some real recognition for his talent is absolutely wonderful dude deserves to make it big.

[@eseph9899]

That little vocal relax part in the outro felt very metal core, caleb shomo for just a few seconds and then it jumps away from it. His vocals sound like he learned from immitating a fuck ton of metal subgenres and now hes abme to just mix and match these vocal styles in a way unique to him and i think thats super sick.

[@kristentt]

His vocal videos are the ONLY ones that I would prefer over the regular videos. I love official videos, in general, but the entertainment factor is so high with him 😁

[@timotheecena5951]

This was amazing. You guys vibing with each other is so fun to watch. I smiled so many times.

[@swordmas_]

We need a song with the both of you! Your different styles together would go so hard

Thanks bro!

[@duelindemon1147]

bro im so happy to see Justin making it, I started learning and teaching myself how to scream back around 2014 by watching those older tutorial videos including his "10 Different Ways to Scream" and Laid to Rest - Lamb of God videos, i still have no idea if im doing false cord or fry but it doesnt hurt after i do it so thats a good sign lol keep up the good work guys

Tallah are so weird and chaotic yet it just works haha

I love how much fun you two look like you're having just discussing vocals and techniques :D

[@hannaht.5965]

Absolutely adored and appreciated this video. Justin is legendary and it's amazing to see you two collaborate and make his performance an educational experience

[@user-gm6jq6jd2t]

That was amazing! I have had singing lessons and now I am trying to learn how to scream. Singing and screaming are connected but the way that screaning feels is really different. These kind of conversations help me understand screaming better. Thank you!

[@deanwilsonmusic]

Termina with Andy Cizek please!!!

[@witeshade]

I wonder if it's going to be the video version or the one-take vocal recording version ... I've actually been liking the live recordings of the songs better than the studio versions. Justin goes harder on them and does more cool vocal shit, it really elevates the songs.

[@evanblake5252]

Justin's vocal videos are the best thing in music basically.

[@evanblake5252]

By the way, if you have not heard his Hungry Lights solo albums, definitely listen to them, and check out the vocal videos. Especially the most recent ones for the third album, are phenomenal and then some. Very different from Tallah, they'll give you even more of Justin's range and versatility. Albums three and four especially.

[@Tallah]

>:)

[@paco1669]

Really love this! This was awesome.

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BrettCahill]

Justin is one of my favourite vocalists, I love how in control he is of all the mad sounds he makes too

[@felador5959]

I've never sung a song but I enjoyed all 50 minutes of this video

[@gbamike64]

I love how proud and excited Justin gets when he hears and "shows off" these crazy insane screams, especially that at the very end.

[@evanblake5252]

YES! You picked the vocal video version! WOO

[@fourspiralarms]

This video is amazing. You gotta get Andy cizek on here next!

[@69ftwwtf96]

Ya know what, I've mentioned this before on your channel, but I love how you and Justin are really big on the safety, and I love it. I've been doing vocals as long as Justin, and I've said before how I axtually messed up and did damage my voice, but I've gotten to better. I still struggle with xome things as a result of previous damage, but all the experimenting is whay makes it fun. And as I said, I've been doing vocals as long as Justin, but another fun thing is that you can ALWAYS learn new things and keep experimenting. I enjoy Justin's music and listening to him make just these amazing sounds and learn how he does them. It's great

[@myleskrocks]

Always loved Justin, his voice his screams are so unique to my ears, he is just like a fresh breath of air to the genre 🤘🏼 and his performances man, this dude is crazy haha when he did soad’s sugar cover or the Bridge of disturbeds down with the sickness where he totally goes insane, I knew this man is reaching for the stars. It’s just like all the demons are moving from the depths of hell into his body 😂 love this talk and analysis of you two!! Keep it up!

[@ominoussenpai3450]

I recently remembered this guy since his hungry lights days, from tiktok. Never heard his nee stuff till now. Not disappointed

[@chincevideos923]

i love the vibe between you two

[@Woupsme]

I remember following Justins KZbin channel thinking he was cool, but I could never get into the music. After watching your reaction to Overconfidence I fell in love with Tallah. It's different metal in a VERY good way. And Justin is entertaining in the videos like he's acting, not caring what anyone thinks. I love it! Thanks for making me listen to Tallah. Also this is great, getting inside knowledge in what LED means.

[@Woupsme]

30:26 I just want to punch things 30:56 was so unexpected but damn it fit right in. I just froze in awe 31:21 I still want to punch things Wtf, this was so impressive. I got goosebumps. Jesus. Definitely will listen to more Tallah more intensively.

[@bradywolszczenski5292]

I love how thoroughly you talked about the vocal techniques and feel when it comes to fry and false chords as a vocalist myself it’s some reassurance I’m on the right track

[@sleepybearx24]

I've been listening to Justin for like 6 or 7 years now!!! Amazing guy and artist

[@chincevideos923]

the 'holding your breath" thing was huge for me - for getting the understanding of how certain screaming sounds are made another way i have had success describing this is to think of whispering. like i can whisper in all sorts of tones - i can get heady,chesty, super low, add compression, everything. Moving around and creating different soudns in your "whisper" ( NOT HEAD VOICE - no vocal connection is what i mean when i say whsper) is huge in understanding the 'feeling' of getting some of the compression down

[@callmeVHS]

"NAH ITS COOL BRO GIMME A FUCKIN SECOND HERE" LMAO

[@jdj1222]

Really cool to finally see a vocalist doing these types of videos using terminology and explanations for these things that distortion vocalists sort of intuitively know, but are rarely provided any sort of direction on from traditional vocal coaches outside the Melissa Cross camp. I would love to see a video from you breaking down the techniques of Anthony Notarmaso from After the Burial. He has such a fascinating and reserved approach that really stands out.

[@jessepesse]

Justin is amazing vocalist. This video was really fun to watch!

[@ghostwithknife416]

Honestly, from what I've seem, Justin is INCREDIBLY passionate about his music. Justin's passion is refreshing and a treat to see.

[@vilmaxblast]

meant to watch this the day it was posted, but I just kinda forgot, so I finally get to it, and it had some of the most entertaining and educational content I've ever seen. Definitely gonna rewatch this to help me improve my vocals even more

[@KardavoxAcademy]

That's awesome to hear, I always have a lot of fun with Justin!

[@KardavoxAcademy]
