Bring Me The Horizon is an important band for our time. Their evolving approach to songwriting and production has been extremely refreshing and Oliver Sykes' vocals just keep getting better and better!
Oli is an incredible singer. Part of what makes his vocals hit SO hard is Jordan Fish's meticulous production techniques. Let's study and gather a large amount of inspiration from the isolated vocals of their song Throne. We'll dive into vocal performance and some never-heard-before layers that give away part of why this song is so impactful. Enjoy!

[@timothee6334]

I wish you bring him on one day just to talk about the difficulties he had learning to scream and see how he improved his techniques over the years

[@chrisliepe]

That would be so awesome to have him on the channel! He's a difficult guy to get a hold of!

[@emanuelramon1845]

that'd be insane

[@2k13Ghost]

We wish you could bring him... to the horizon?

[@antonionsfw]

@@ichaeofficial no he didnt

[@goner.9989]

@@ichaeofficial He busted his voice on one of the “post amo tour” gigs if I remember. He recovered though.

[@MyTwinFlame]

Jordan fish is singing those higher harmonies , he is also doubling ollie in some places hes such an AMAZING singer and producer and a great asset to BMTH

[@chrisliepe]

Jordan is amazing!

[@levisalazar8031]

@@chrisliepe Yes he is from a production stand point Jordan has his vocal lines perfectly pitched and aligned. So he can just blend in perfectly with Oli and also to make himself sound more robotic to not take away from Oli's tone. Jordan just knows how to be the perfect support and texture to Oli's voice.

[@brigtherthenthesun7879]

Jordan's doubling oli in all places of this truck. Listen to "Throne Jordans vocals only" on youtube.

[@MyTwinFlame]

@@brigtherthenthesun7879 exactly , jordan is our savior

[@SykeThrone]

Facts JORDAN PLEASE MAKE A BEAT FOR ME OR SOME! Lol I wish⭐️

[@andreneves33]

This album has a lot of blending between Oli's voice and Jordan's judging by the multitracks on doomed.

[@pierre-claudemeriot6562]

Yes I was really surprised at how much Oli is NOT singing

[@alexpritchard8117]

The key to BMTHs vocal sound is that Jordan doubles up every vocal, adds saturation and a chorus like effect - their vocals blend so so well that hardly anyone notices that it’s probably 60 percent Jordan and 40 percent Sykes But the other thing that makes the performance is Oliver’s natural heavy lisp. It makes every Word have a spitting sound that just injects the passion. Sounds like he’s purposely going for all the plosives.

[@prayforsauce3875]

i love amo and tts just for that reason alone. the blend of jordan and olis voices is so unique to me. the newest album is fantastic too but olis voice has gotten so good that he doesn’t need as much help from jordan. like i’m happy for him and how he can carry himself but i feel something was taken from us at the same time 😭

[@DommoDommo]

Jordans years of producing really shows that the techniques are easy to learn but hard to master. Keeping the ear listening is the key, you can learn a million tricks but if you bore the listener it wouldn't matter if you used 100 plugins, or 1000. I love that you break it down to the core and show everyone exactly what it is.

[@tommyoster2700]

you need to parse the " Doomed" Multitrack. there you can see that we hear all the time a duet of two vocalists (Oli and Jordan Fish) in the songs of this group. it is both a big deal and a great deception. I hear Fish here too

[@prayforsauce3875]

“synthy vocals “ is such a great way to put it. thanks man. made me see vocal production in a new way

[@CyborgCollective]

20:35 Someone needs to GIF that.

[@joshdoesstuff763]

I really hope this channel keeps on growing. These analysis are great for my singing AND for listening to while running!

[@MrFakefall]

Accidentally turned on Captions and it refers to Oli Sykes repeatedly as Ali Sykes and for some reason I find this as amazing as this video itself

[@TemperedLion]

It's so cool to hear all the different production techniques! Thanks for teaching us how they sampled that vocal. I learned a ton from this.

[@AndreaHernandez-jn1rv]

My world is crumbling bc for ten years I thought his last name was Skyes instead of Sykes

[@nicolasgarcia1990]

YES i see Oli, i click

[@LockOutBeats]

This is so sick. Love when the production and recording behind a song gets to shine.

Great video from vocal and production perception. Thank you Chris for sharing how to use the vocal and production techniques.

[@emmanuel.cabral]

very intuitive , thank you for the awesome tips, extremely helpful and fun to learn .

[@Ps5gameuploads]

Wow I actually never seen it like this but this is definitely where I see how good their music production is and how creative Oli can be, singing with and against himself in a soundtrack. Very interesting.

[@carolinecoy3164]

Jordan fish. The keyboard guy produces alot of this himself. Which makes them so good live. He does all this live aswell as some of the vocal layers. So it always sound's as good live if not better sometimes. Some people think oli's singing over a backing track. But it Jordan. Their vocals blend so well together 😊❤

[@MrArtVein]

Everytime I hear this chorus I instantly think of the hook and breakdown on Linkin Park Faint

[@emkstr]

Teardrops is another great one if you're looking for the LP influence. The intro could almost be played back to back with Don't Stay

[@lesaintdemon]

I hope you can make a video of Courtney LaPlante of Spiritbox, they are making amazing music, and also to have more female metal vocalist, it'd be cool

[@paulguerramedina1865]

Your content is so informative and unique, Chris! Never give up! Greetings from Ecuador!

[@stephencantnmbrs]

This is such perfect timing. I’ve been using this as a practice song for my own voice lately.

[@am1992sxe]

Loved seeing this breakdown of the voice sampling. Thank you Chris!

[@originalvonster]

If only this was a week earlier! I was struggling to find a citation for chopping the start and the end of the harmonies / doubles because I forgot which video I saw him do that in before.

[@EirikurEiriksson223]

Great video man, really enjoyed the breakdown. I never noticed a lot of those doubles and harmonies in the mix but they're really quite well layered and produced. Would LOVE to hear more Bring Me The Horizon vocal breakdowns if you can get your hands on the stems. And preferably with as many plugin name drops as possible. Subscribed and hope to see the channel grow :))

[@chrisliepe]

Thanks for the sub and the support Eirikur!

[@Templemind]

Amazing stuff brother! Thanks for geeking out and being awesome!

[@matthewchavezm.b.s5503]

Great video Chris. As always, what a awesome breakdown of both the vocal performance and the production techniques that go into what we hear as a finished product. Thx man!!

[@roopenieminen558]

Thanks Chris! This was really cool! Could you maybe consider doing a how to sing like Ville Valo -breakdown? Thanks.

[@MarcoLagnese]

You're so talented. Great job. I love Thorne :)

[@trulyvanvan]

Love your content Chris please keep up

[@carolinecoy3164]

Jordan fish produces and sings some of those vocal layers. You can hear it more live. They sound ao good together. He used to be in a electric band, and Oli would go watch them. It was a riny band, like 10 people in the audience. Jordan was surprised. Ive noticed Oli,when like he tends to jut his chin forward when he aings those high gritty vocals. Thia is so interesting to liaten too. I can naturally hear all these layers. I listen to them over and over with headphones on purposely teying ti hear all the different soundsbin the background. Aome i miss because theyre ao subtle. But I will always hear them in this song now. And didn't realise that little bit was slightly reversed lyrics. Thata so cool. Im only 7 mins in. But love to hear this stuff. Have you broken down any if their really heavy stuff?

[@emkstr]

Jordan and Oli are peanut butter and jelly.

[@etiennemarion1467]

Wow, first time I watch something like this and this was awesome. I thaught I wouldn't enjoy listening to the isolated vocal that much and it's a bit confusing. Your singing in insane and I'm a bit jealous of it lol. Would love to see other videos about other songs from BMTH which I love or other singers I might know. Great job might hang around a bit to see more.

[@RaymondThierry]

Most of the vocals in most of the tracks made by Jordan Fish, not Oliver =) Especially screams, Chris ;)

[@tomasrpdepaiva9806]

Correct!

[@fouried96]

Love this series! Can I please request Tom DeLonge isolated vocals - one of the most unique and genre defining vocals well known around the world? What I think would make it interesting is even though he isn't a technical or 'good' singer, his voice has become so iconic and helped him sell over 50 million records

[@JohnTCampbell1986]

Awesome video as always, any chance you could do an analysis of Land of Snow and Sorrow by Jari Mäenpää (Wintersun), every time he opens his mouth in that song it's instant goosebumps for me and sounds like there's a crazy amount of layering and production stuff going on that I don't understand at all but really enjoy hearing you explain about even if my ears can't hear it. (ETA) It's even more impressive when by his own words " I had a lung operation when I was in my early twenties and I lost 1/4 of my lungs

[@jacobrobles688]

At 19:10 I think you missed something in the buildup before the bridge. He does a Corey Taylor “Before I Forget” type build up that you definitely can’t hear in the normal mix of the song

[@Qliche]

Can you do a breakdown of their newest song LosT? Especially the synthy hyperpop background!!

This is sick, thanks for doing this ❤️ keep it up

[@vladsierrecords7277]

One artist I really would love to see you analyze would be Ice Nine Kills. Spencer's vocal capability is insanely diverse to the point that he almost appears to be a completely different artist in between tracks on the same album. The dichotomy between "A Grave Mistake" and say "Stabbing in the Dark" off of The Silver Scream is one comparison that definitely comes to mind that shows just how versatile he is as a vocalist. Food for thought and possibly a video idea in the future!

[@chrisliepe]

He’d make a great study!

[@pristina2012]

This is ace. Would love to see you do vocal analysis on some Karnivool

Yo I need your mic. It doesn't pop at all when you scream

[@chrisliepe]

That's the angle and proximity to my face more than the mic :)

[@copsarebastards]

I think I've asked before but I'd love to see an analysis of Daryl Palumbo from glassjaw/head automatica. No other vocal coach or screaming coach has looked at him, which is a real shame. He can scream up to 5th and maybe even 6th octave, you did some looking at Patton, he's up there with Patton I would argue.
