[@BigManTate7364]

I've practiced this type of vocal technique as well as Tuvan/Mongolian throat singing and you are right that they both come from a similar place. I discovered the Tuvan stuff while practicing these types of screams (I call them the bear call 😆) Not sure about the technical stuff behind it but there is a way of manipulating the vocal chords to create a sort of "resonance chamber," like with subharmonics, that is how you get that sound. If you push it through your normal vocal chords you damage your voice so you have to properly shape them to get that sound with the least effort possible.

Most people stop at the vocals, and are turned off. I’m primarily a metal listener and I hear the vocals as another instrument. As soon as people stop trying to understand what the vocalist is saying, and see that it’s just another piece of the music, hopefully they will appreciate how orchestrated metal is. In this case, Death Metal.

Alex Terrible has his own channel here on KZbin. There's plenty of him singing on there. I've been listening to death metal for years now, and I've never heard anyone growl as low/deep as him. This guy is a monster 😈🤘

His singing ability isn't amazing but that man can growl like a demon. I think he's just a bass that hasn't been taught properly lol. Alex like to take the mask off when he goes into his really deep growls to show that he's the one actually doing it. He has a ton of proof he can do that actually so that is him.

There's actually a video from the crowd of him doing this song live. That's why he shushed the audience. His projection is incredible

Ken: “Is that real?” Alex: “It’s Russian”

When they rush into each other, it’s called wall of death where you split the crowd up in two and then they run towards each other at the breakdown. It’s a kind of moshing. Very common at death metal and other more extreme metal concerts.
