TENOR REACTS TO LEPROUS - SLAVE (LIVE) | Nat Elliott-Ross

#TenorReacts #NatElliottRoss #Leprous
Greetings my #GothMoths
First-time reaction to this weirdly wonderful band. I'm obsessed over how 1980's this is and the lead singers cry. #OMGoth!
Stay until the end for news on the next upload and an exciting new reaction channel!

My name is Nat and I am a gothic operatic singer, actor and voice artist based in the heart of Kent, England. Music has always played an important part in my life as a musician and I love to use my platform on KZbin to share it in my music reactions.
I work on the basis of a reaction should be just that, you don't get another crack at it! What you see from me is the real deal. I don't pre-screen anything I see or work from tight scripts. I'm completely open, emotive and sensitive with my audience.

Einar is one of the most amazing vocalists in metal, Beautiful and haunting. Thank you for your reaction, this band is something special.

[@georgehenry8391]

It's my first time hearing them too. That was a very well-crafted song, also performed expertly. The drums and the melodic / harmonic instruments support and amplify the vocals and the main melody of the song. Then there is the dramatic, not overdone, use of metal growling. They're an impressive band.

[@TheVadrigar]

Leprous is such an underappreciated band. They're so good. Einar is an amazing singer. You might be onto something by him being influenced by 80s pop. He recently did an A-ha cover- Manhattan Skyline if you're interested. Please do more Leprous reactions. "Below", "The Sky is Red" or anything really.

[@mellotron_scratch]

I don't agreed with you that they are underappreciated band. What more do you want for them?

[@R3adybreck]

@@mellotron_scratch they are very underappreciated, only 200k listens a month on spotify should be 2 million to be up there with the more popular metal bands

[@helenhunt5414]

@@R3adybreck Exactly!! Plenty of bands who can't hold a candle to them have way more subscribers! I bullied all my relatives into subscribing to Leprous and make even the elderly relations to listen to them! With friends it's trickier as I'm cursed with mostly non-musical friends, but I'll keep trying to mould them into Leprous listeners.

[@nbecerra17]

For me, one of the three best bands in the music scene nowadays

[@tvd7377]

that was ihsahn (previously emperor) with Einar. Ishahn's projects (imo) and leprous do have a lot in common.

[@TwoandaHater]

here for Devin, stay for Leprous, hope for Tesseract?

[@jen.g.]

Yes! “Of Matter” or “Hexes” in studio.

[@progperljungman8218]

Second that!

[@alondite215]

Dan's work with Skyharbor is probably better than any of his Tesseract stuff. I'd opt for that instead.

[@paulsmith5949]

@@alondite215 I love "Allure"!

[@Justin_Anvil]

Agree 💯 . I love his reviews.

[@timhutchinson8485]

You should check out their songs “Below” and “Alleviate”.

[@cayninek9]

Didn't know there was a Eddie Goth Izzard talking nice about my favorite band in such an intelligent way on this platform! What a treat =)

[@jackillin]

Watch 'Acquired Taste' from the same concert! Phenomenal voicing & music not to mention he hits an insanely high note...maybe one of the highest in the male register...

[@BlueRoseShilloh]

I just searched for this comment, to see if i was the only one

[@TheLikeButtonLMAO]

Highest in the male register, until you listen to Dir En Grey...

[@slayde7740]

@@TheLikeButtonLMAO ^^ this lmao

[@kingbrutusxxvi]

I've been a (mostly) metal studio/session musician for 30+ years and I've never understood why heavy bands shy away from keyboards and people have the opinion that they're only for pop music. I love bands like Meshuggah, Jinjer, Killswitch Engage, etc. but Depeche Mode was writing synch-only music that was just as "heavy" decades back. Leprous are great at combining that synch sound with heavy 8-string guitars and producing gems like this one. So f*cking good! Stay safe everyone. Missed you, Nat. Cheers from Florida.

[@R3adybreck]

Alot of the scandanavian and european metal bands have keyboard players, there is a big culture of it in more classic/power metal inspired bands Anything from 'Firewind' to 'Amberian Dawn' to 'Children of Bodom' make great uses of keyboards And dream theater obviously but theyre american

[@afro208]

"My larynx is right down in Australia" 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@lucillepannell106]

Thanks for introducing me to Leprous, very happy!

[@judgebigmansion3492]

Would love to see more Leprous from you. "The Sky is Red" should be up next.

[@sanderheerings6296]

Had the live version on repeat for the past month at least.. a masterpiece

[@MysteriousThing]

Hey, I like your style, its pretty inviting imo. Anyways, Great reaction! Leprous is my favorite band right now, and it's a delight to see other people invested in it too!

[@Jubanen12]

its incredible to think that this is a live version.. I mean Im sure they made extra sure that the sound capture systems were top notch and so on but still.. I haven't seen them live but I really want to.

[@Maelliv38]

Leprous is perfeeeeeeetttt

[@reinieden2379]

Dude, I love the Goth look a lot, you definitely should check out Kyo from Dir En Grey, I recommend the song Vinushka or MACABRE live at Tabula Rasa. Kyo has become my favorite vocalist ever, he's such a fucking monster with vocals, growling like a demon, singing beautifully, it's unbelievable.

[@ferrisconfines]

Yes absolutely! Vinushka would be awesome, probably my favorite along with dozing green

[@TheLikeButtonLMAO]

Or tousei

[@Cynips]

I've seen them a few times live now, and I'd call it his voice simply. whatever quality, it's his voice expressing an emotion.

[@Naamturd101]

The production team for this band is amazing. The live version of the song sounds better than the studio version. With these types of instruments and a voice that powerful that is not an easy thing to capture. Emotionally and technically. His voice is so emotionally diverse, the way he drops in and out of his head tone really gets to me every time I hear this song. It reminds me of yodeling.

[@jen.g.]

I want Einar to sing me to sleep at night. His voice is beautiful. They did a cover of Massive Attack’s “Angel”, which is just lovely. But their drummer Baard is one of the best metal drummers at the moment. As far as another Leprous song, you might like “Below” or “Alleviate”. Or literally anything of theirs. Still hoping for a Jinjer reaction. 😁

[@TheJerham68]

Give Castaway Angels from Leprous , delicate and angelic

[@MrRoundthetwist]

Brilliant reaction! New sub here you rock!

[@solarwinds9363]

Such atmosphere, such emotions! You just want to close your eyes and drift off. Also, Nat... Nice attempt to mimic him, haha. Don't choke! 😨

[@enocht100]

9:10, that face, I was dying!!!

[@ilBaccello]

Leprous live is a very enriching experience... The first time I saw them live with their coal album (they were a support act) it almost felt like a spiritual experience, given the singing, the wall of sound crushing onto you and the relentless meaningful drumming (singly delivered by Baard)...

[@chewie8910]

Dude your look is hilarious lmao. Entertaining video. Do more Leprous!

[@Warrmachine137]

I got to enjoy Leprous and you being hilarious as shit at the same time lol

[@brunowilliam7529]

More Leprous please! :)

[@progperljungman8218]

Love your awe with this fantastic singer(and band)! Would also love to see your reaction to my favourite contemorary band on the planet: Bent Knee with my absolute favourite vocalist Courtney Swain! (Oh yeah - she's acting out all the emotion ❤) Try "Being Human" (live studio performance)

[@simonbriggs3105]

Really should check out there stuff, fantastic album after album and amazing live 😍😍

[@renevw5812]

Your reaction is always so refreshing and totally different, wonderful. And at 10:10 you saying stick to Opera.....Epic. But the concept of people in Opera loving progressive rock/metal/gotic music is something i discovered years and years ago. Since i love my Cavalli, Scarlatti, Monteverdi, Gluck and Händel etc. i was talking to a couple of opera singers (at 16). Me middle in my long hair days all dressed in black and blackalike (real real dark purple lol) and they talked about Iron Maiden, Zappa, Zeppelin, so that was a such a relieve. Since growling is a real "nono" in Opera.

[@Paul_C]

Next week Transitus will be available, the new Ayreon album. Arjen published a few introduction videos over the last months and you know one of the singers. Simone Simons, this song is safe to react to, Arjen put it out there. 'This Human Equation' kzbin.info/www/bejne/onzaknWAoriIptU oh, Simone plays Angel of Death. You might find the voice of the Narrator strangely familiar, and yep, at 86 years, Tom Baker.

[@belquerst]

Hey Nat, you should definately react to more of Leprous.. Castaway Angels or Alleviate are fantastic songs.. Einar is trully one of the best singers out there ..

[@tonshimountain652]

TesseracT I second.

[@ericj.w.ruijssenaars3421]

9:05 whahaha, that expression on your face. Priceless : D

[@BlueRoseShilloh]

You should react to their song Acquired taste live, its from the same concert, his high vocals on that one are out of this world

[@judgebigmansion3492]

Didn't have to watch the whole vid. Subbed at "Shut yer mouth if yer not a trout" Holy shit hahahaha

[@ThisTrainIsLost]

When I focus on the melody what I am hearing is Suede ripped to the tits on the dust of Angels.

[@afro208]

Eddie Izzard reacts

[@victorsupreme214]

'The Last Milestone' by Leprous, on repeat, is my sleep song lol

[@KarRuptAssassin]

come for baard stay for the rest of the fuckin amazing band

[@ikillomega]

You should review their song "Below".

[@jem030175]

Did Tim Burton direct this reaction. Look out Nat, the headless horseman is behind you! Great video btw.

[@williammann376]

Really enjoyed your reaction. Check out Strangers by Vulture Industries. Their vocalist has a unique sound you might like.

[@diamondguardiola9275]

I definitely hope you try Agent Fresco.

[@Danny_Inflames]

Hello friend, I had the opportunity to see them and work as a live staff in our country, here in Chile in 2019, and they really are incredible live, I recommend that you make a reaction to a song of theirs called " Below ", I know that by right you cannot sometimes transmit the Videos, but try to see the video clip of this song because it is powerfull, I send you a big hug from this southern area !!

[@slow074]

The two drummers are apparently because they used the concert to change drummers. The guy on the left (no t-shirt) takes over the place in the band from the drummer on the right.

[@ikillomega]

He hits his 'R's very aggressively. It makes his voice more interesting.

[@janedoe7621]

Low larynx, high stress on the false folds. Great shit.

[@ToreHansen]

Watching them live tomorrow evening together with Ihsahn - munin.live streaming...

[@DavidSGrop]

I just watched a vampire do orgasm faces for 17 minutes and I regret nothing.

[@1dudecrush]

Normally I'd call his harsh vocals screaming, but I think that deserves to be called a "wounded howl." All emotion, love it.

[@TwoandaHater]

I don't know if anyone will get this reference for 13:04 "what gorilla?"

[@jem030175]

Have a look at Ihsahn - Manhattan Skyline ft. Einar Solberg (Leprous singer). Thank me later

[@richardaling5278]

One of worlds most incredible drummers, Baard Kolstad... And you pause in THE fill of the song... You forgot your funny nose right?

[@robmorris844]

On a side note I think full goth is your best look.

[@Denvercoder]

You look like Eddie Izzard. 😂

[@zelgkopitar8799]

Did Eddie Izzard and Marilyn Manson have a baby and name it Nat Elliot-Ross?

[@merqury5]

Ive seen that tour live in Oslo. They are awesome but the most boring stage performance because they let the vocalist lock himself to that keyboard throughout that set. It could just be on tape. He just flaps his left hand about. But who am I to criticise. Welcome back.
