My First Cattle Decapitation Video. Travis Ryan is INSANELY GOOD!!!

We're running a kickstarter to help fund vocal research, and Travis Ryan has joined us as one of the premiere harsh vocalists for this study. And I'm stoked. And he's stoked. And I've never heard a full song of his, and his sound. So, let's dive in to what everyone has told me is THE Pioneer of many of Deathcore's sounds today!

"My first cattle decapitation video" This could go in a direction that NOBODY expected......

yeah I'm disappointed as well

I hope you are joking because if not you have missed the point of this project.

[@KardavoxAcademy]

One of my favorite things about Travis's sound is that it grew ( in very large part) in the context of live experimentation. There's an interview, I can't remember where, and he talks about how he often would mess around live and perform sections entirely different from how they were done on the record just to see what his voice could do. I love the surgical precision of modern vocalists, but the rough yet refined qualities that Travis has carry so much nuance. It's awesome.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

[@AirwavesEnglish]

Travis uses that melodic "choir" voice/effect in a lot of the tracks on this album and it's hauntingly beautiful. There is a song named " ...and the world will go on without you" on this album, Terrasite, and it'll give you max-chills all over your body. It's incredible.

not only have i been subbed to this channel and what you're doing since before jinjer, to watch the metamorphosis into you truly becoming and APPRECIATING the level that harsh metal vocals are at. Believe me or don't, but i've been saying since 2003 that "our" vocals are not only ... 1. a legitimate display of mastery of vocal control and range 2. (here's the big one) if you can even come close to vocals of that range and tone and brutality, night after night...world class! 3. if you can sing these vocal arrangement's than you legitimately can sing anything. 4. side note...people that are scared of this music cannot even comprehend the fact that before even trying to understand them, we view them as a "lead" PERCUSION aspect that, without that layer, the music would be lacking BUT....a display, leading aspect of passion and the depth this music can take you to, if you're willing to go

I'm personally not the biggest Cattle fan (no reason, just never got into their stuff) but I appreciate how much respect they get in the wider Metal community. If you're a Metalhead for any good amount of years, you've probably at least heard of this band's name.

I love Cattle and had a chance to see them live back in 2015. So happy you are working with Travis. My favorite thing about the band (other than just how awesome the melody singing is) is that you can understand like 75% of what he's saying even without the lyric sheet. This is exciting!

[@RothyCob]

Cattle Decapitation!! I remember the first time I ever heard this band. The song playing was Bring Back The Plague from their album Death Atlas. I was vibing with how chaotic it was and then the 'sing scream' vocals started with the line "Every body a host, every body infected" and when that section of the song ended I had to go back and relisten to it. It completely blew me away, I'd never heard something like that be done before in metal and I've been hooked ever since. I had the pleasure of meeting Travis and the rest of the band last year when they did their Australian tour, I met them in Adelaide and got some pics with Travis. He's a genuinely nice guy, and funny as! So glad to see Cattle getting even more recognition, they truly are something else. Thank you for this video, brought me to tears ha!

For me, I'd always heard of Cattle Decap, but they didn't stand out to me... UNTIL I heard Travis doing the melodic screams. Then, he became my favourite vocalist, because it's so unique. I've heard melodic lows from Gojira's vocalist and pitched screams, but these melodic highs Travis is doing are insane!

[@manondereeper]

Wow, this is such a treat!! I've been wondering about the vocals on this song for such a long time, I can't wait to watch! ❤🎉

[@sissichu]

At about 18 minute mark you were wondering how the implementation of more melodic parts affected Cattle Decap's popularity and at least for me it's the big part of why I became a big fan of them. If their music was just like the first couple of minutes of this song I wouldn't like them all that much. They would be just another death core/whatever band out there. But the melodic parts are so masterfully done and bring a wonderful and beautiful contrast to the brutality that it's so magical. In this song especially. The melody, lyrics and Ryan's delivery of the chorus works so well with the melodic guitars behind him. Such a good song.

[@emilygiles1313]

Cattle Decap is one of my all-time faces, I am SO stoked to see you analyse more of their music His vocals changed my music taste direction hugely when I first discovered them, and changed in the best way

I'm just glad Travis is getting the love he deserves so much. Easily one of it not the most underrated vocalists of all time.

1:13 I do believe in the metal circles that's called "OPEN WITH A BLEGH!"

I've been watching for a hot minute. I've known will for a long time from afar, but Travis is my boy. Last time I saw him was right before the world shut down. Love him and Dave. Those dudes are so cool!!!

FINALLY YOU DID IT! 🤘🏻🔥

[@1212zeek1212]

I'm so excited to watch this. I was watching your videos analyzing slaughter to prevail and was thinking about what screaming lyricists I'd wish you'd analyze and though cattle decap. That tgought was instantly follwed by "Yea... That'll never happen. They're a little TOO out there. I doubt enough people would recommend she check them out, and even then, their name will likely turn her off from them to the point she won't listen." BUT HERE WE ARE. OH MAN I'M SO READY FOR THIS. This dudes vocals are wheewwwwwwww. 16:08 - YES! The moment I was waiting for! Love your reaction and analysis of this part. THOSE are his master-trick. Those vocals right there are why he is so renouned. The bizzare and AWESOME mixing of screaming with true melody is bar-none. Dude is one of the GOAT. How you said it changed your view of the whole song... It almost adds an odd feeling of intelligence to the whole thing. It leans us into taking it more seriously. Ugh. So fucking good.

Imminence - "Continuum" (Eddie Berg One Take) or "The Black" (Ystads Teater) please

[@ACardFan]

I’m so stoked to see your collaborations with Travis!

[@lokihammerfall7781]

You are the only person whose pauses not only does it not bother me, I also enjoy watching and listening to you very much. Good work and thank you.

[@graemeswatman9578]

So many vocalists out there that are awesome. The list may never end 😂 however, Chuck Shuldiner from Death may be worth a listen for old school harsh vocals perhaps.

[@JarvisK-ze9zk]

How about Frank Mullen, Joe Ptacek, Jeff Gruslin, Craig Pillard, Lord Worm, Mike van Mastrigt?

[@franciscodiaz3028]

Cattle decapitation has become one of my all time favorites. From the lyrics, the vocals, instrument playing, they are the whole package. I wasnt expecting to see this on your channel! Awesome stuff!

[@xBananaTERROR]

well, since we're at this point, might as well add dickie allen, ben duerr. or just whoever mark from kardavox recommends too.

Elizabeth, I absolutely love the vision you have for this channel and research. I took vocal lessons locally in my small town for a little over 10 years before my teacher passed due to ALS. I am now doing my own research as a doctoral student, and I've been a lifelong fan of Cattle Decapitation. I had a cattle decap belt buckle when I was 17, wish I still had it! I would absolutely fund this if I was able
