This Song Blew My F***ing Face Off!!

I was asked by one of you lovely folks during my livestream to react to Lorna Shore's song "To the Hellfire". I had absolutely no idea what I was in for, and by jove, it did not disappoint. I love this kind of music despite now knowing much about deathcore. This is intense. Thank you for the recommendation and please suggest some more in the comment section.

There's a video by The Charismatic Voice where they do a nasal endoscopy and he's (Will Ramos) screaming and you see all the vocal cord action. It's incredible

[@Daephekt]

I saw that, impressive stuff.

[@gmail2728]

Was just gonna say this! Really cool video :)

[@angelinakrocher7589]

Just what I wanted to write here. 😁 Lorna Shore is not my source of cake but Ramos' mastery of voice is incredible!

I love how you can sit with your acoustic guitar, no pick, just completely raw sound and decipher a key, melody, and scale of whatever it is your listening to, be it thrash metal, pop, or w/e. It’s brilliant and inspiring. Love this channel so much.

[@shornoMALONEY]

He even nails the drumming with his voice, Justin knows more than just classic falsetto and guitar shredding apparently!

[@spill1t]

Subscribe to Rick Beato's channel too then if you appreciate this type of thing. He's like the master and according to him he doesn't have perfect pitch - very impressive!

[@bre3108]

Very incredible

Wow, deciphering keys and melodies without a pick is epic!

You can see and hear Will Ramos do a sing through on his own YT channel. He tours this with no problems and all his vocals are harsh. The Charismatic Voice had Will looked at with a throat cam in an academic setting. He's got no damage and is apparently a "unicorn". He's also just a great fun guy with the enthousiasm of an ADD puppy (in the best possible way)

The vid where they did the throat cam: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5KbhKiNg7Wlgqc

[@rofyle]

The opera singer, Elizabeth Zharoff, talked him into letting a throat specialist shove a camera down his throat so Elizabeth could observe what was happening to his vocal cords when he sings. The video of their trip to the doctor's office is on her KZbin channel, The Charismatic Voice.

[@Taaniiieeee]

I think about this video OFTEN. Makes me wanna learn to scream even more so. The talent 🔥

[@devinaschenbrenner2683]

She didn't have to talk him into anything all she did was mention it and Will was like tell me what I need to do to make this happen

[@gusmorales3446]

Ahhhhhhh he stopped before the best part. The last bit of vocals before the final breakdown is pure insanity.

[@yannjoanno6933]

why :(

[@porridgegoats7976]

My thoughts exactly… I wanted/needed to see Justin’s face when that final vocal came on.

[@followingfigures4738]

As a guitarist him pausing like 5 times on the solo just....... AAAAAAAAAA!

[@EpiphoneShredzzzzz]

@@followingfigures4738 seeing him pause every 5 seconds bugged me lol just LISTEN

[@Joshua.M.S.]

i watched to whole video waiting for that moment.

[@michaelbauer2950]

I love how seriously and sincerely he approaches the video. Many would not give this style of music a second glance.

[@pickyourteethup]

For me he nails it with 'it's so powerful' if you can get past your initial shock deathcore is the ultimate power fantasy

[@kybercrow]

Only true musicians can recognize and understand the intrinsic value in every genre of music. Even as a piano player, there's so many lessons I can take from Lorna Shore's tracks.

[@JariJuslin]

Like the genre or not, there's so much mastery of their craft packed in this that a musical person of any kind cam pick some of it. It's not just brutal, it's brutal in a very innovative and skilled way.

[@Hylss]

Props to whoever recommended this. I've never given two craps about deathcore, but their sad and melodic take on the genre lured me in and I can't wait to see them live.

[@ShipMonster]

Kudos to Justin for reading comments and listening to us..

[@aegistechreviews7410]

Saw them live in Seattle, they're amazing! Gl!

[@chrisheeran]

You’re going to have so much fun

[@ioweutube2]

Give a watch of The Charismatic Voice's videos of Lorna Shore. Either To The Hellfire or The Pain Remains. She dives into the lyrics, the video themes, the vocal techniques, all of it. And it is great indeed!

[@flaminghead1va]

The sad sounding parts are the black metal influences and the symphonic parts go hand in hand with that to make everything dark/sad. It really does go well with how Lorna Shore does it. I am by no means calling myself an expert on black metal, but for more: check out The Halo Effect and Gaerea

[@samanthar1214]

I'm not a fan of deathcore, but I do appreciate Lorna Shore, and Will seems like such a sweet guy, and his clean vocals are beautiful

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

Wait... He does clean vocals?

Lorna shore has been the only deathcore band that I've been able to fall in love with. Pain remains, despite being out for only 3 months... is my most listened to album this year

[@rhiannongaladrieldonner1100]

I absolutely adore Will and Lorna Shore. His Sleep Token cover was so good. I'm so glad he helped give ST the attention they deserve.

[@lukalikaboz]

Finally someone mentioning the snare drum during the breakdown! That's the most satisfying sound ever🤤

[@atexandude8303]

I grew up listening to Darkness, Queensryche, Rush, guys like that, because of my dad, and once I found my own tastes , I delved pretty deep into the death core, death metal scene. So genuinely, hearing a musician from the era that got me into rock, positively talk about the music I chose to enjoy, I gotta say, it’s, weirdly, cathartic, almost made me giddy. Haha

[@JonnyRottenn__]

I’d love to hear your breakdown of “Pain Remains: Dancing Like Flames”. A deathcore ballad lol

Yeah would be amazing.

[@drblacko]

Definitely one of my favourite bands just now and your reaction to it all is excellent!

[@makingmusiconline2309]

I was watching a news report before this video, and I'd forgotten I left the playback speed at x1.5 ... I was very impressed by how quickly you were vocalising the drum beats and the rar-rar-raw voice ... but even at normal speed you're still doing the drums at an amazing speed :D Thanks for positive thoughts towards a genre of music that's heavier than either of us typically listen to (or perform) ...

[@adam0195]

The reaction I've been waiting for 👌It was great ringing in the new year with "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" tonight, especially because I spend the entirety of December trying to sneak in Christmas Time(Don't Let the Bells End) as my wife has no taste in music and insists on avoiding it at all costs. Happy new year good Sir, loved seeing the channel grow through the year 👍

[@EwItsARat]

Yay so glad you checked this out!! I was one of the people who suggested it to you in your last live stream. Thanks Justin ❤

[@MaxGriffinJames]

It's amazing the progression in metal in the last decade. The new understanding in vocals, the techniques to do the harsh vocals safely. It's incredible. And the musicianship is next level.

Instantly the best Lorna Shore review of all time. God I love this channel! Thanks for 18 minutes of laughter Justin!

[@nicholasromig5506]

when the breakdown hits it literally sounds like just a black hole. I'm not generally a huge deathcore fan but Lorna Shore bring enough black and death metal and just...complete butchery to the table I kinda gotta love them. Will Ramos is a monster.

[@Tatterdash71]

I was waiting for Justin's reaction to what happens the bar after he stopped it early.

[@traveler15]

Justin seems like such a chilled guy. Massively successful musician in his own rite but has an almost childlike excitement when hearing something new that he doesn’t completely understand. I hope he does some collaborations with other channels, metal musicians and him together would be awesome. He is obviously incredibly knowledgeable in general terms and sees what musicians are doing so quickly, even though it’s not in his genre. Great to watch.

[@kimlaraway6951]

OK I watch your videos all the time, I must say I freaking loved this reaction. I was laughing so hard I think my neighbour's could hear me. Thanks I needed that.

Gotta say when the singles were coming out for their album i was worried it'd get pretty boring but as a whole album it's great start to finish definitely killed my worries. The Pain Remains Trilogy is basically a Deathcore balad

Amazing to see Justin cover Lorna Shore. On the death core train, would love to see an analysis and comparison of Slaughter to Prevail next as they are more rhythmic and groovey, but still brutal.

[@shornoMALONEY]

Glad you discovered this mental band. Never ever heard a band that are SOOO hard but can still do beautiful synth/pad melodies and make emotional songs. Kinda unique, check out their "Pain Remains" trilogy, dare you not to cry!

Your as always a golden god of music brother!

As someone who has watched the channel for a long time and as someone who is well into metal (despite not liking Lorna Shore), I'm stupidly pleased that you're covering stuff like this. Thumbs up for the Sikth mention.

I'd love to watch a video of Justin Hawkins and 'The Charismatic Voice' discussing the new music and vocal styles they've discovered during their KZbin channel journeys.

[@andrewwilson45]

This might be the best reaction I've seen to this song. Thanks Justin 🤘😎

[@BrettCahill]

didn't expect you to be a fan! Also surprised to hear you mention Sikth! As others have and will say, there's a video showing what's actually happening when he makes these sounds, which is pretty cool to watch

[@athomeoutsideanywhere7550]

This is literally the best video on KZbin I've seen in months. Although this is a somewhat clouded representation of blackened/symphonic deathcore, Lorna Shore are easily one of the most revered deathcore bands of late and their symphonic influence just adds exponential depth to their sound. I trust you are familiar with Elizabeth Zharoff, aka The Charismatic Voice? Last year she built a beautiful relationship with Lorna Shore's vocalist Will Ramos and featured him and the band in multiple videos. In the most intriguing video of this pairing, she uploaded a video of a surgical camera being placed into Will's throat to record visuals of his physical creation of his amazing vocals. With the hairstyle and the boyish looks, he appears more of a pop or alt pop musician, yet the music he creates with his mouthpiece proves him to be an absolute vocal demon. One of my favorite videos of him released last year was one in which he had to listen to clips of different extreme metal tracks and decide whether the vocalizations were created by man or animal. That video shows an intimate view of his incredible personality. Anyway, do a little digging and a bit of research, watch Elizabeth's videos with him and just enjoy the amazing gift that he has given the world with his musical gifts.

[@tanasmom1969]

Awww...you stopped right before the best part. His pig squeals are the best. 👍 I'm 53 and my daughter got me into Lorna Shore. If you go back and listen this song straight through, it's just genius.

[@pasqualecurry7773]

Missed the part where he literally sounds like a rabid animal wretching at the end. Dicky Allen from Infant Annihilator also has some really gnarly vocals that are similar to Will's, also if you like drums Mike Heller from Malignancy is hell on the kit, and there are videos here on youtube of just him doing drum playthroughs if the music is a little too harsh.
