"give me a high vocal that hits like McDonald's Sprite" this is why i come here Mark xD

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Haha, you're welcome!

[@Bentfrombeyond]

I stopped the video for a good 30 seconds chuckling at that line XD

[@shona5512]

I think Tom might have watched this video because he said the same shit on Nik Nocturnals stream. Nik asked him if he would prefer highs or lows and Tom said "a good high is like a crispy sprite".

[@allan_nightmare]

I saw that shit I was like Yooooo he said the thing!!!

[@bugatto_ENT]

" give me a high vocal that hits like a mcdonalds sprite" fucking priceless, Best metaphor ive ever heard!

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Haha, glad you enjoyed it!

[@danielsegura9621]

Tom is one of my personal favorites for his unique take on vocals. You can definitely hear his influences, but he makes it his own.

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Definitely!

[@Smithy2222]

Same, don't hear his name enough in the conversation.

[@MrGoblin323]

@@Smithy2222cause he don’t do tunnel throats and I’m sure he can do em but chooses not to follow the trend he’s the goat

[@leachofsouls]

The sprite thing got quoted by Tom during a stream with Nik nocturnal, so I know he's watched this lol

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Oh, that's awesome!

[@tdogg1281]

Tom is one of my favorites.

[@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385]

Love the Archspire pfp. Archspire's Oli rae aleron, and Tom Barber are two of my favorite metal vocalists of all time. Archspire is my favorite band. Relentless Mutation and Bleed The Future are masterpieces.

[@iwonderifdrugzarebad]

I remember when people used to hate on Tom Barber, i dont see much of that anymore.

[@l.sch.7545]

The same thing with Lorna when CJ left but thats because of overly attached fans.

[@zerozeeros]

I can not wait for this. I love that Tom can sound completely different between this and Darko. This song hits so hard

[@KardavoxAcademy]

It's a good song, definitely!

[@Sam-uu2nx]

Tom is so damn versatile. why he's my favorite. Eternal Nightmare compared to anything Darko and now this? Tom can literally do anything he wants. Inspirational af

[@Jens_Roadster]

I love this song, it reminds me a bit of Fleshgod Apocalypse.

Fuck yes.

[@oceangilboa-way4163]

I get that ur talking about the symphonic elements, but that's kind of classic CG sound. Straight off My Damnation. I do love FA though

[@ClassicChrisGaming]

I love how Mark seems to genuinely love the memery of the Discord channel. Sounds like a wild time there :)

[@KardavoxAcademy]

We definitely have a good time!

[@ptr_does_music7042]

I love how he kind of switches from a shouty/airy tone to a more classic gurgly tone and he also makes great choices on when to scream. He switches the beats where he screams here and there, creating some syncopation, really interesting!

[@mhdibm7515]

I really love that fast part where tom goes "but as we're born anew.. Etc"

[@MatthewAmmons]

Tom is my all time favorite 🖤

[@KardavoxAcademy]

[@Oblivion262]

So fucking hyped you mentioned Aegaeon! They're fucking amazing! I was sad when he left the band and kinda stopped listening slowly after that, but they were one of my favorites and his vocals were fucking unmatched. But lows ever

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Yes dude! We actually had James guest on an old Kardashev track - always loved his voice and he's a dope dude!

[@Bentfrombeyond]

I do always appreciate when an incoming vocalist shifts their style a bit to better hit the bands typical feel and atmosphere, I respect it a lot, but it's also cool to see them take it in a new direction too :)

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Definitely!

[@seditious1627]

Sick video! I’d love if you could get Tom on the channel for one of your long form interviews!

[@KardavoxAcademy]

I would love that too!

[@djdj2231]

Does anybody else notice there’s a certain repeating part in the song really reminds me of an old Coal Chamber song I think it was dark days apart and dark days this song I think

[@Its_Joey_M]

Haha, Mork made the video! Yet another great video. 🤘🤘

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Thanks dude!

[@thunderkris65]

I love that you love Jim from Aegaeon. One of very very few bands from my hometown that was actually good!!

[@Sam-uu2nx]

You literally explained me in the 17 minute area. Self taught, not bad, poor airflow management lol. I'd say a quarter of my practice is while walking and I just lose most control while walking. Blows my mind people can move as much as they do while performing

[@Tonjit41]

I like it

[@jay-pi5gn]

The airflow thing I learned early on I wasn’t gonna one take a single song good and make it sound controlled and nice but since I have I’m 6 months in a the good control has even helped me with switching between different screams becuase they require different amounts of air depending on what I’m doing

[@stevex1943]

Awesome video, hope you've gotten better bro.

Thanks bro, all better now!

Hello Mark, have you heard that in studio recording a month or two ago from Darko? Where they do 3 quick songs? My month would be made if you could review the vocals on that one. Even if it's just your thoughts as a quick response and not a video, I'm always fascinated by your analysis and Tom Barber is imo the best right now

[@hurpdurp916]

Gonna be shamelessly off topic for a sec to request a lesser known vocalist. Jei Doublerice from Despite Exile. Killer vocalist, killer band, they just dropped a single called Riven Mirrors and it's fantastic, also displays pretty much all of his range. I'd love to see you cover his voice.

Should come check out my highs? No I don't 100 percent agree with this as there are some amazing vocalists on tiktok. but I've been told on several occasions that I have some of the best and more unique highs on tiktok. I'm self taught alot like Tom Barber here by trying to imitate Trevor. And I've been doing vocals for 20 years now. Unfortunately right now i only have covers atm but I am working on some original stuff. I do have an original out but I'd rather stay away from that and the guy that produced it make some odd choices with my vocal takes that its definitely not me at my best.

He's versatile, but he really only has one tone I really like. Which is his lowest tone. I really don't like his highs. They sound very dry, loose and not particularly distorted. Like if his highs were an amplifier the gain knob would be at like 3.5 which yeah it's gritty but not very distorted.
