This is disgusting, I can't believe I'm releasing it. Slipknot "Hive Mind" ANALYSIS by Opera Singer

[@zoeres]

You should see if you can get an interview with Melissa Cross. She's a vocal coach specialized in harsh vocals and has coached a *lot* of famous screamers, Corey Taylor included

[@MarcioNovelli]

I interviewed her on my podcast, Bridge The Atlantic, and she was phenomenal!

[@Halicet]

Came to the comments to say the exact same thing, and here your comment was at the top. Would love to see an interview between the two on Charismatic Voice! Will Ramos is pretty close to both of them, so they are already in the same circles.

[@Momofsnotbubbles]

Yep. She’s amazing. I’ve worked with her for a long time. ❤

I even received vocal coaching from her about 12 years ago, she's really something special.

Kudos to you, Elizabeth, for your honesty and your commitment to all the many different artists and music.

[@Obituarybunny]

I REALLY think you’d enjoy their song Nero Forte !!! It’s a pretty good mix of clean vocals & screaming ( the screaming isn’t as intense as it is here )

[@bellastaples8125]

yes she NEEDS to react to nero forte

[@TheSped1982]

The lyrics are very clever as well.

[@thepsychophonic]

@TheCharismaticVoice Totally agree with @Obituarybunny You should react to "Nero forte", a wonderful song (in my opinion, the best on the album "We are not your kind") that has it all. A guitar riff and drums that are out of this world, Corey Taylor doing the best rapping of his entire discography, and, of course, the band's usual rhythm changes. A masterpiece of brutal aggressiveness, in which the quality of everything is of a very high level.

As someone who also used to have a very hard time watching horror movies and anything gory, what really helped me was learning how special effects are done. Once you see how fake organs are made, for instance those brains are very likely made of gelatin, I find it a lot easier to see past the scariness and nastiness. Also I would love so much if you could get corey taylor to do a throat cam like Will, that would be so cool!

[@skarlottt]

I agree with the throat cam. And when I watch anything graphic as far as films go, I know it's not reau.

[@abaddon_the_annoyer3084]

Back in the 90's they had the horror hall of fame on tv. (You can still find it on KZbin) It was like the oscars for horror movies and special effects, hosted by Robert Englund and the Crypt Keeper. When I saw how much fun the people had making horror movies and doing the effects, it changed horror for me forever. I have never been scared of a movie since. Instead I just fell in love with them, trying to imagine the ridiculousness of what probably went on behind the scenes and how they did certain effects 😂

[@NerevarineKing]

Yeah it's really hard to gross me out with gore nowadays. I think the last thing that was somewhat disturbing was watching Broken short film by NIN a few years. That Cattle Decap music video was pretty messed up as well.

I noticed the comparisons you drew from Slipknot to Korn and SOAD. These bands all were part of the formation of Nu Metal, so they've always had certain similarities! 3 legendary metal bands. You should check out "A Liar's Funeral" if you want what's, in my opinion, a quintessential Corey Taylor vocal masterclass.

[@Josue-qb7cq]

😎👌🏼💯 For some reason I find it stylistically related to "If rain is what you want." Slipknot has several "slow cooked" songs that I think are underrated!

I completely agree, "A Liar's Funeral" is unique and amazing. It's a slow burn which grows to such an intense flame. It is one of my favourite tracks to put on specifically when I want to marvel at his vocal technique.

[@JudesXX]

Still waiting for you to check out Beartooth 🙃 a very contagious metal band. Caleb's voice is incredible, as well as his energy. His false chord technique has evolved so much over the years.

you should really do an analyses on Bad Omens! They're an amzing band and the lead singer Noah has an the voice of an angel but the scream like the devil. Just Pretend is a song they released just over a year ago and shows the vocal capabilites of Noah to help you get into the band. I think you would love them so much!

[@TekniQx]

If you enjoy Slipknots combination of harsh and subtle vocals, then I'd definitely be interested in hearing you analyze Howard Jones in Killswitch Engage (2002 - 2012). Jones is also African American, which is a very rare & cool feat for a metal band. He has an absolutely phenomenal voice!

Actually, being a black person in metal isn't as rare as it used to be, but it is still cool. Great examples are Lajon Witherspoon of Sevendust, Derek Green of Sepultura, the entirety of the band Living Colour, Bonz (pronounced like "bones") from Stuck Mojo, the entirety of Body Count, members of the band Suicidal Tendencies, Tobin Abasi from Animals As Leaders, Doug Pinnick from King's X, and Diamond Rowe from Tetrarch. There's also the old punk band from the 1970's named Death, as well as the entirety of the hardcore band Bad Brains, and the drummer for Dead Kennedys. They've been there this whole time, and continue to thrive in the genres of heavier music, it's just that until recently, they weren't given near the attention they deserved.

[@PaulBraughton]

Long time viewer, i enjoy how you dive into vocal/breathing techniques and things to pick apart in all of the songs you listen to. I’d love to hear your deep dive for Motionless in White, specifically “Another Life”. Heavy screaming with a great change in vocals I think and it’s a great song about breakups/loss.

It’s a fascinating video, and the sounds in the music and voice are so well constructed. One of my favourite Slipknot songs is Vermillion, which is a good example of the sing/scream changes that are mentioned in this analysis. Love the analysis! And I love that there’s more research into screams and distortion now. I’d love to see/hear if an operatic trained voice could comfortably achieve a scream.

One of my favorites from their latest album, so happy to watch your analysis on slipknot always! People dont get it but you do!

Very happy we're getting more slipknot, but still putting my vote in for some of their older material. Corey's vocals on the first two albums were way different and he was essentially screaming full force, all the time, back then.

[@MaaZeus]

Yeah his screams were nuts, unbridled emotion pushed out to the point of breaking up and coughing and shooting out his vocal chords. 😅 That said he does sound very good here too. Hell this whole song is good. I haven't followed Slipknot since Iowa but this did grab my attention.

[@Septyrikon]

@@MaaZeus agreed, although nothing tops the first two or three albums for me personally. Not the biggest fan of how they seems to be handling the internal management of the band, if the firing of Joey and Jay (and maybe Chris too, can't remember) is anything to go by.

[@MaaZeus]

@@Septyrikon That tends to happen when bands become big. Instead of a passion project with close and dear friends it becomes your job and friends stop being friends and instead become co-workers.

Would be interesting to see an analysis of their earlier stuff when Corey sang “wrong”. Recommend either the music video for Spit It Out or the live performance in London 2002. Corey sings the same from 2008 forwards in terms of technique, and was widely different in both harsh and cleans before, leading to a blowout before the change.

Speaking of adding pitch to distorted vocals, I'd love to hear your assessment of former The Haunted vocalist Peter Dolving, particularly on the songs listed below. (The proper studio recordings, please, not live clips.) I find the breadth of textures and timbres he uses within a single song or even a single line -- from wistful to furious to, well, haunted -- unrivalled by anyone in the metal genre short of Mike Patton. Even when he pushes his voice into breakup it isn't a simple case of "monotone cookie monster mode: on / off" but rather a sliding scale of intensity applied to the melody, perhaps reflecting the degree that the thought being expressed at any given moment pisses him off. You can often hear the grit-to-note ratio shifting as he tears into a lyric, then shifting back again as the last syllable tapers off, as if he's been emotionally drained by the effort. Sometimes he'll pair one highly distorted sustained note with another -- a harmony, I suppose, though the term feels out of place here. "The Drowning" "The Medusa" "Done" "My Shadow"

I actually run into issues with how desensitized I am to generally disgusting stuff. I went to a trade high school that specializes in medicine, so since I was 14 until 18 I was exposed to human anatomy, both in forms of images and IRL. I think we learned how to put in urinary catheters when we were around 16, and I remember watching an open heart surgery at 17. I sometimes bring up stuff that most people find offputting, sometimes even while we're eating. I'm so used to it that I forget that not everyone is like that. Now as a radiology tech, my job is literally to look at people's insides with a fancy machine, so I doubt I'll ever go back to being sensitive to it.

Slip knot is amazing. Idk what you’re talking about bud. Aha.

I know Max's ex. Very well. She gave my kiddo one of Max's acoustic guitars. She felt a budding guitarist could put it to better use than it just hanging in a back room.

If you want to hear some crazy shifts between clean and harsh vocals, listen to Timeless Winter by Into Eternity. That guy’s voice also has an amazing range.

Oh, I thought this was a review for Conan O'Brien's, "Slipnutz": We're the Slipnutz, slipping on nuts. Clowning around, and slipping on nuts. We're the Slipnutz, slipping on nuts. Look he fell down! I slipped on some nuts.

There's a jazz tune that would probably send you up the wall. It's by guitarist Mike Stern, and the title is "Chatter". The saxaphonist (the late great Michael Brecker) opens his solo with a long note that he bends all over the place. He goes in and out of the pitch, bith above and below. Personally, I love it, but it'd probably give you hives.

Indiana Jones and the temple of doom, i love how much effort you are putting into why it is that so many people love this style of music, it hits all the levels of emotion that you can possibly imagine but it also helps to show that the people who make these creations are extremely talented and it’s not just evil like the stigma has been around heavy music

[@edwardhitt3132]

I keep saying you should do a dive into “Soilwork” great vocal control and switches a lot between clean vocals and distortion, and the singer’s even been able to let out some 80’s hair metal vocals

[@natebaker5677]

I'm love your variety, however.. I'm not so sure the Patreon folks got it right this time. I appreciate your analysis of vocals, instrumental ensemble, and general emotional tone. How about A Perfect Circle, Vanishing

[@atheontimesconflux7006]

A smaller band I would love to see you check out is Soen. Progressive metal with a powerfully clean singer.

[@brandyh3536]

I just gotta say thank you for your love of the metal genre.

I showed my niece the video for "Left Behind" and afterwards she walked off and sat by herself for a while (Clown's head scratching freaked her out) and I had to explain to her it wasn't real. Granted, she was 11 or 12-years old at the time, but she wanted to see what I was watching and ended up getting an apology slab of chocolate out of it.

[@juliehackett1025]

My kids have watched Slipknot videos since they were 5 no issues watching them only a fascination for special effects now

[@skarlottt]

Omg Elizabeth, my hero. You wear your feelings out loud

[@camerontudor3184]

I’m wondering if you ever get requests for In This Moment. She can go between clean and harsh. Maria has a truly incredible voice!
