NEW KARDASHIAN VIDEO!!!! nice 😎

[@benturtl9076]

Ayy its galactic

[@SceneCoreIsNotDead]

Am I the only one that would like to see a breakdown of his own band’s song

[@bluecollar5384]

I would LOVE to hear one of Behind Leaves and Vines...

[@DennisFeinsteinCEO]

This

[@LI-md2cb]

Hes talked about it before. Said he felt weird about it but he'd do it if enough people expressed interest

[@LateKnight666]

listen to Kardashev or Viraemia. Hes the vocalist for both of them. Kardashev doesnt really have "breakdowns", but youll get the gist

[@DatboiDemonX]

He has done one of Snow-sleep from The Baring Of Shadows.

[@echi-sama1844]

Whenever he talks about the "hypeman voice" I think about Jarod Alonge on his every pop punk vocalist video

[@dylananderson1061]

Have to do crystal lake AEON live. Ryo is an amazing frontman and vocalist

[@azatduissekov6429]

How many breakdowns do you want? Wage War: yes

[@tevildo9383]

For the Likes Of You-“Forlorn”

[@chrisscott820]

Yes please!

[@anerexicpig720]

everyone like this, fuck you, idc LIKE IT

[@xCushman]

Wage War is incredible live. Great group of guys too! I am from their hometown and I love seeing them. I would love to heard your take on Lorna Shore. Literally anything from them but a request would be King Ov Deception or Death Portrait. Immortal is an incredible song but the other two are vocally insane.

[@thecrab3544]

I’ve been waiting for a Lorna Shore analysis from him. He had a death portrait one but it’s not available for me to watch

[@zmby6785]

ah yes, the cough drop

[@steveprovost2750]

I love watching your videos. As a vocalist myself, I have learned a lot just from your videos. You've helped me out and I greatly appreciate it!! Keep the vids coming! Much love from Canada! 🤘🤘🤘

[@Molineitor_]

Sots-Pernicious!!

[@usernamenotavailablee]

This song has one of my most favorite BLEAGHs ever lol. I'd LOVE seeing you react and dissect some Gamma Sector (I suggest songs Ephemeral or The Dot) or Hollow Prophet - Ben Duerr's project (the vocalist of Shadow of Intent) that's even more aggressive and filthy than SoI!

[@AgainstTheeWickedlyMusic]

Man, I miss this side of this band. Songs like this were so heavy, I really love their first two albums! Loved your breakdown (no pun intended), Mark! Always very insightful! 🤘

[@MetalCoreHog131]

Love seeing breakdowns on all styles but we need some higher range appreciation. I think Rheese Peters is the absolute top and would love to see you a Babirusa track dissected.

[@zerozeeros]

That or ANIT rheese is god tier at highs

[@DatboiDemonX]

He briefly touched on Rheese’ vocals in Deadweight by Lowlife during his segment, that’s about the only time he looked at Rheese. The man himself even responded to Mark’s breakdown of his vocals, and said his segment was false cord lows and tunnel throat highs.

[@dartthewarrior]

I learn so much with every video!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@KardavoxAcademy]

I'm glad to hear it dude, thanks for your support!

[@JakesVooDoo]

Man you’re awesome. My go to channel for learning techniques and learning how to properly do things as to not hurt myself or discover new things. Love it

[@NomadGragg]

I saw them live at The Trees in Dallas. They were insane. Their song "Low" was sick. He's a great performer and he's gotten better over time.

[@anthonycoffey9412]

I cant get enough of "Low" 🥰

[@danieldonev2477]

best metal vocal coach in yt hands down 🔥🔥🔥

[@gizmovw1272]

I saw them at their Halloween show in Atlanta a few years ago and his vocals have come a long way since this video. Hands down one of the best shows that I’ve ever been to

[@Imurai]

Okay, that thumbnail is just killing me 😁

[@cjmorgani3642]

Awesome and informative video as always. It’s always a good day when I see you have uploaded. Bands you may want to checkout (or maybe know) are Angel Splitter, Full of Hell, Desolated and Knocked Loose. If you want a hardcore type band harms way might be a cool one

[@jacksonweinbeck8254]

Backbreaker by Fit for a King

[@finniganmcasscrackin373]

This guys my fav metal reactor🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@lukes4110]

I'd never seen this live version before, I'm impressed how similar it sounds to the studio version

[@LT_Dangles]

They have a newer live video of their song “Low” which features clean vocals as well. Should check that one out because these guys have improved their vocals an unbelievable amount in their somewhat short career so far

[@kaylagassiott2155]

Sick man! I enjoyed this a lot! 🖤

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Glad to hear it!

[@billykordecki6052]

LandMvrks-Lost in a Wave, Metalcore band with screams, cleans, raspys, and even gutterals at the end

[@Ashes94]

Omg i love Wage War, i seen them last year before covid, the headlining band was Polaris, do check them out if you want to see another amazing frontman. HYPERMANIA - Polaris (short and sweet heavy track) LANDMINE - Polaris (more of a dynamic track with cleans/screams from both vocalists) but i recommend the song Hypermania this man has soooo much energy and you MUST experience it, when u think hes at 100% he goes above and beyond

[@iHomelessMonkey]

I love seeing how psyched you get when you hear some lows, really wholesome lmao

[@KardavoxAcademy]

I'm a simple man, I hear good lows, I get excited!

[@Brycesinner]

They are amazing live I think I was at the show

[@DaedricHAWK]

I honestly enjoy Briton more live than on records personally, really dope vocalist. The vocalist of Before I Turn does a lot of the articulation styles you talked about in this video. Hopefully one day I'll see them featured on the channel. Love the videos.

[@rhod3house]

One of my favorite groups in my home town at my favorite show! These are vocals I wish to have

[@knightsindarkness1712]

Awesome band and song!

[@ajholtzman6180]

I know im not a patron, however, if mark or any of his patrons see this, consider loathe by left to suffer. Some of the most gnarly brees and gutterals imo

[@nedsoccer11]

This song has a breakdown

[@khyleebrahh7]

This breakdown has a song

[@AsWeDescended]

Nuh uh

[@MudStoneCasserole]

This song has a breakdown

[@AsWeDescended]

Nuh uh I would know if it did I am a breakdown master

[@tylerajohnson03]

The song is a breakdown

[@breakingbasstv8525]

Thanks for doing this! Wage war is sooooo sick live

[@scottvenema6800]

Love Wage War. Love this video. Seen them a few times live and they are great! Discovered Lorna Shore from this live track because of Cody's T-shirt also so bonus there

[@loganmyall660]

Saw these guys live. So different front their albums. The same metalcore influence you get on the album is swapped for deathcore. Really interesting and frankly so much better live.

[@pineconeduck9148]

Wage War, nice. Always like that.

[@memorexdrc]

Just learned to play this on guitar! What a banger

[@mattjones6450]

I would love to see you check out a live Dayseeker track. Rory is inhumanly good in a live environment; his control and resonance is absolutely unbelievable

[@HalmHammerhand]

Love your vocal analysis. Very informative and entertaining. I would like to see you do a analysis of something of Christian Alvestam. Solution .45’s Gravetational Lensing is a great song. An oldie but a goodie. He has a very unique harsh vocal style I’ve never been able to come close to mimicking. Would love to hear your take on it.

[@KardavoxAcademy]

I'll check it out!

[@crotalus_horridus1474]

Hell praiser - this or the apocalypse, please!!

[@lukebecker155]

Bloodshot by Hunt The Dinosaur? The vocals are unreal.

[@Grimisk]

New subsriber. But I highly recommend DAYSHELL - PRESSURE if you like a bit of a melodic groove with dark tones. Shayley is an incredibly creative vocalist.

[@GRLidstone]

I'd love to see you do a reaction on Slice the Cake's Gareth Mason. He's an interesting one since he openly says the way he screams is wrong despite the fact his voice sounds so great. So it'd be cool to see you dissect the problems in his technique snice it gives you a chance to explain in detail what not to do

[@themilkynipple2801]

Would love to see you react to lost in a wave by landmvarks, new song with 2 sick breakdowns and unique vocals

[@CoreyAllgood]

Dude, could you check out the "Descend" vocal playthrough by Summoning the Lich and react to that? That'd be SICK!

[@CosmicKristen]

Yes! That song has such an amazing vocal performance. Just based on their first two tracks, I can tell they’re going to blow up quickly.

[@DarkApostleJuralek]

Hey Mark, would be super interested in you doing a song from SiKth. Any song by them would be great but maybe Philistine Philosophies or Walking Shadows would be good. Would really love to hear your take on those vocals! Love the videos!

[@mezzproduction3252]

eyyyy great video man! you should react/analyse Crystal Lake live at resurrection festival "aeon"!!

[@rossmcmurdo3541]

Hearing alot of early day Parkway Drive in this

[@Oryyyt]

more lives reactions and analysis please! Black Mammoth by Fit For an Autopsy live on Rain City is extremely well mixed and performed.

[@Deamonition]

What I find interesting about all these bands, is the intensive mic cupping live. Who cares if it sounds like screaming in a tin can, it looks so cool, am I right?

[@jasonpeisley6031]

You should react to Low by Wage War live, it's pretty awesome, because there's all different things happening especially vocal wise. With having Harsh vocals and Clean vocals

[@matthewgiordano5212]

Hey can you react to Silent Planet? He’s a beast. Does kind of a spoken word scream, has crazy lows too

[@NathanielBTM]

You should definitely check out some of Currents vocalist Brian from their live sets he's epic

[@DasLettras]

I don't know if itd quite fit with the channel but maybe analyzing a sleep token song could be fun for the clean vocal side of things

[@felixpachler977]

Hi, I've been enjoying your videos for quite some time now, keep it up! I also would like to request that you look at the song "The Shadowing" by Orbit Culture, those guys are simply put amazing. Have a nice day!

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Thanks for the kind words, Felix! Glad you dig the vids! Orbit Culture is on the list, yes, along with 157,000 other bands, haha! The best way to get your recommendation through is to join us on Patreon and take part in the monthly votes!

[@g3tr3kdkid4]

Hey man, nice video. I appreciate the vocal tips cause I want to be a metal vocalist, pianist (for recording) and frontman. I think you should analyze "Me Myself & Hyde" by Ice Nine Kills for some killer breakdown vocals, or "Another Life" by Motionless In White for an incredible video and some cool technique. He lets his voice crack but controls it. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

[@chasingaces1431]

Damn this is a great WW song, but I think you should also look into (just screams) the song Stitch. Also, what about the band He Is Legend song White Bat?! You'll love that!

[@cameronmccorkle6078]

You should look up Dr.acula it's an interesting thing

[@Someguyy867]

While doing new songs, old bangers with great vocal techniques can we now do Live Versions as well. Not finished but this is interesting. It shows a vocalist out of the studio and any errors, strain or how it actually sounds. So yeah can we mix some live songs in this channel, as a viewer as myself can consume? I believe it would help since it’s not people being like “I can’t mimic it” etc. etc. but then you get to see the reality of how it sounds. Not as clean and more gnarly.

[@LLIULLIPAZER]

You are definitely need to watch some babirusa just because Rheese Peters is amazing. The song called Catatonia is good, want you to check it

[@wmgreen00]

What was that intro song? Sounded sick!

[@gladbuffalo7805]

If you plan on returning to deathcore sometime, I think you should check out sign of the swarms latest song Pernicious, or something of Immortal by Lorna Shorr

[@KardavoxAcademy]

We actually had a video for Immortal a long time ago, but it was blocked by the label.

[@MrBrownLostHisM00]

How about Fit For A King? Backbreaker

[@jlowe92]

you should check out The Remedy by Polaris live version at unify

[@benturtl9076]

For whom the banshee cries or Son of perdition by Sold Soul would be so sick

[@isaiahperales8271]

I’d suggest the anatomy of evil by like moths to flames!!

[@kellypennington8761]

Gotta do Hyperviolence by Omertà

[@alexandercarlinmusic9467]

"Thank you all for coming out" Jarrod Alonge is that you?

[@wodensol5000]

Isnt he doing a fry scream? Correct me if im wrong

[@DavidKrautscheid]

please react to orang utan long or lurk calls or howling monkeys they are insane! especially howling monkeys!!!!!

[@frozencinder3007]

Asthma-core

[@bloodlokks]

Pls do chystal lake aeon

[@thatsit7933]

Can you make a reaction/analysis to the band Dawn of Demise? Their singer has a very special brutal grind vocal.

[@Krinkles-Security]

So when is the ABCs cover coming out Mark?

[@jakebell9968]

I’m telling you check out The Black Dahlia Murder

[@DatKittyKrackRock]

Please let me know if that is a possibility

[@lilwoowoowoozie9242]

react to Parkway Drive 'Wishing Wells'

[@christopherwendel6447]

Has anybody else come across "Destructo" by Hunt the Dinosaur on spotify? I think Tallah took me there on the spotify algorithm highway. It's a pretty dope song. Check it out Mark

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Already did, my dude! ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqTYYpx9icaNbs0

[@paulf8909]

Hey Mark! does wrong technique always come with pain or can you being doing a wrong technique and not feel any pain?

[@KardavoxAcademy]

That's a great question, Paul. If you're feeling pain, that's a really easy indicator, but it is true that sustained improper technique can cause long-term damage without it necesarily being super obvious until its too late. It's a hard thing to diagnose unless you know what you're looking for, or if you get the advice of someone that does.

[@paulf8909]

@@KardavoxAcademy okay, I started off with false chord but it never felt quite right, but been (trying haha) fry for almost a year now and it always feel very relaxed and almost natural if that makes sense? Any advice for improving?

[@adammak007]

Have you done Hypa Hypa by Eskimo callboy?? Please do!!!!

[@tylernorton6440]

You gotta do a reaction to as lions and lambs. Song is hate speech

[@keyboardcowboi]

What’s the intro song?

[@itsbung1194]

Check out Poverty of self by Currents!!!!

[@13kellyr]

Please react to Alæca by Before I Turn

[@mikevenasse9215]

He plulled an Alex Khoeler Marge scream. The studio version is much cleaner.

[@hugopusey5076]

children of bodom for Alexi! :'(

[@maxbchris]

React to Architects

[@reinoldi1097]

its not metal but you have to watch "Dimash" (crazy Range and styles) (for me best mal singer right now) and "sohyang" one of the best femal singers ^^ also u get alot ofviews believe me :P

[@FreddyGaming]

I am a guitarist and It's just weird to see the play in drop G tuning with Fender's instead of more metal guitars like Ibanez,Schecter.

[@NvrLucky43]

I also play metalcore with a Fender, these days you can pretty much do whatever you want with the power of production but I personally don't mind the dryer tone they offer. Also after playing a fender body for years its hard to swap for me to the thicker bodied guitars.

[@FreddyGaming]

@@NvrLucky43 I grew up with bands that always used ESP,LTD, Ibanez,Dean and Schecter so I always had in mind that those brands as metal ones. Of course you can slap an EMG or a high output pickup with a booster and have crushing tone.

[@NvrLucky43]

@@FreddyGaming I also own a Schecter 7 string but I havn't put enough time into it to be nearly as comfortable so I still play some things on the fender. basically anything i can get away with lol

[@YeahTheDuckweed]

yo i can't remember if it was you i watched react to it but i'm struggling to remember this music video that's in mostly black and white and it's some kinda post-doom shit or something and the vocalist has a fucking breakdown and ends up curled up on the floor during the solo or whatever

[@WayoftheWhale]

This song only have one breakdown which lasts about three minutes

[@jakflasdick]

you need to rename the "hypeman" voice to the Christopher Walken voice

[@JosephRivera588]

Ooh a metalcore track! I’d like to see more of that on here! My suggestion would be “backbreaker” by fit for a king

[@justsomanycups7667]

hell yes!

[@InEpicinium]

That and or the WCAR version as well. Both I feel can have their own breakdowns/insights into what each vocalist does similar/different

[@conormccallion5016]

Yea would love to see him cover more metal core

[@smokejc]

@@michaelgabs9885 yeah you need to leave.

[@ks_cdrums]

Love the song

[@petermorado8983]

You should do Metamorph by Oceans Ate Alaska. I’m really interested in what James does for his techniques.

[@adamcastillo3976]

I’d like you to break down some Landon Tewers vocals!! Always loved his lows!

[@MetalCoreHog131]

His vocals on the Ai640 stuff are incredible

[@akmetalhead95]

Hell yeah! He's such a versatile vocalist too!

[@witeshade]

@@akmetalhead95 he sounds killer live too, i saw him at a club just before the end times started and he sounded amazing

[@xCushman]

His vocal range is special. His solo stuff, The Plot in You's stuff, and Ai640 are incredible. Total stud.

[@NashMuhandesAudio]

god i miss Landon's ultra-lows

[@malfurionstormrage6782]

I love the vocals in this song. My favorite wage war track.

[@pieceoftrashkeith]

Please do: For the Likes of You - Forlorn, Gamma Sector - Ephemeral, Black Tongue - Coma or Fit for a King - Backbreaker next time! edit: oh, man! add LANDMVRKS - Lost In A Wave to the waiting list! that shit's insane!

[@xheavybangerzx]

FTLOU - Rot with me brother

[@jxp_shows]

Join the KA Patron to request songs! Maybe I'll suggest Backbreaker next month, I usually suggest metalcore

[@usernamenotavailablee]

Yees Gamma Sector let's gooo

[@IRLtrolls]

Yesss FTLOY is so sick

[@InEpicinium]

Always wondered what is happening in vocals say at 7:52 or say for other examples, similar screams from Oli in the deathcore medley or M. Shadows with the Critical Acclaim opener from the longbeach concert, where the voice just cracks midscream seemingly out of nowhere. Never could figure out if this is just the vocalist reaching their natural vocal break in register change for a moment during the scream and it's totally fine, or if it's a moment of voice being a bit tired/momentary loss of support.

[@MrThehoper]

In this case it's a support/tone placement loss, also double checked the song.

[@coleG112]

@@MrThehoper Which is to be expected by the end of a show tbh. If I remember right this was either the encore or the song before so I'm not surprised he gave out. Explains the staccato shouty screams too, compared to the studio version being a little smoother
