WHITECHAPEL | WHEN A DEMON DEFILES A WITCH | REACTION & ANALYSIS by Vocal Coach / Metal Vocalist

[@KennonRude]

Back story on the video: “Basically, Phil [Bozeman, vocalist]’s mom would see a demon outside or by her fireside, and she knew that if she saw it there, then it would be by her bedside that night,” says Ben. ​“She would write these journals which were pretty cryptic - her handwriting would change every now and again. The song title actually came from one of the journals. It talked about the Devil raping a witch. So we interpreted it, and changed it to give it a better flow. We didn’t want the word ​‘raping’ in the song title, so we changed the title, and gave Mathis this vision, and he did his own thing with it.” The album also delves into how his step-dad (the demon) completely wrecked his mom's (witch) life through drugs, abuse and so on. This album is very emotional and personal.... We need you to do Acrania - Exterminate the Liberated!! Luke Griffin is one of the most underrated vocalists out there!

[@cookiemonsteryummy2]

First of all that story is crazy, Phil has always been an amazing lyricist so it makes sense. second, yes absofuckinglutley he needs to do Exterminate the Liberated, arguably the best of the newer school pig squeals

[@majkii1042]

Thanks!

[@NevetsTSmith]

Some people why such dark and heavy music is written, and this is why.

Thats what i love from Metal Music, you can make the most disgusting song with all the breakdowns And brutal riffs But in the most deep of all that you can find a lot of feelings .. its Just beautiful

[@georgeantonioandrei8570]

Well, that's an impressive storry. For me, who thinks deathcore is imature and only about demons and stuff, it becomes clear that there are bands that are more than that, like Whitechape or Shadow Of Intent.

[@colinbrannon2051]

It’s honestly terrifying to me. Knowing the story behind this song and this album. It’s so scary to think this sort of stuff was constantly going on with Phil’s mother

[@clintjackson7359]

Been through similar situations

[@mitallll]

Now that you've analysed this, Hickory Creek by Whitechapel is a must. A lot more cleans from Phil.

[@Earl1403]

Hickory Creek is a fucking masterpiece! Halfway through this video I thought “I’m listening to Hickory Creek next”

[@evanhovey2554]

And the acoustic version is next level as well.

[@cameronicardi3587]

Hickory Creek! Thank you! I've been cycling through their music trying to find it and just couldn't remember.

[@betrayyoursavior7656]

Agreed 100%

[@toyotaecw]

Never understand why people write him off compared to the current crop of deathcore vocalists. His mids are lower than most vocalist’s lows and even his gutturals have incredibly clear enunciation.

[@jackieboy0303]

Honestly this whole album is great and the concept behind it is interesting too. Im sure it ties to the video. For your own pleasure you should check out the acoustic version Whitechapel did of the song Hickory Creek

[@brunowilliam7529]

Yessss this was so needed! Whitechapel is such a good band but i still think this is their best song overall! Probably the only deathcore song that gives me goosebumps!

[@materedai4158]

It's cruel that I already can see it but have to wait 2 days to watch it.

[@avhc661eric]

We need some Cradle of Filth-From the Cradle to Enslave on this channel. Danni’s voice is definitely worth talking about

[@P.dripps92]

100% agree! Dani is so unique

[@Plagueof7deaths]

I very much agree... Or Cruelty Brought thee Orchids..

Dani is one of the goats! No other voice like his

I hope you do Doom Woods from the same album. That song packs a punch I was not expecting, especially since the ending is unexpectedly heartbreaking. Congrats on the record label!

[@claudiolorenzon1997]

Doom woods is one of my favorite off the album the opening riff is a killer!!

[@mattjones6450]

That song is so underrated it’s insane. Definitely my favorite song on the album, even moreso than this track. That song has such an ethereal and emotional atmosphere, but is so dark and heavy at the same time.

[@claudiolorenzon1997]

@@mattjones6450 absolutely🤘 it definetely has a super emotional atmosphere and is very dark !

[@triplzer0]

One of my absolute favorite Whitechapel songs

[@Irishnfire]

The story behind that song is both frightening and heartbreaking

Your channel is gonna do nothing but go up, you keep picking bangers

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Thanks bro, be sure to tell your friends!

[@Sumnawww]

The entire section from 13:34 on where you show what new singers do and sound like, and then approach how to fix it, is probably the coolest and most useful thing I've ever seen from a vocal coaching video. That was super eye opening.

[@zerozeeros]

One of the best clean passages in all of metal. Id love to see you do hickory creek. Its the only song that has made me cry in the last decade

[@caliamr4123]

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Thanks bro!

[@AlexS-wv4ur]

"wowzerino" -yeah that summed up the video

[@loud_noises_nick]

This whole album blew me away when I finally gave it a chance. Phil's cleans are so fantastic! Honestly, at times reminds me of Maynard James Keenan a la A Perfect Circle. Like Kennon Rude said, the album is super intimate and deals with Phil's dark past surrounding his mother, and a journal she left behind.

[@charlielocke9]

Fit for and autopsy. Live from the k-pit or the rain city deluxe. You'll be amazed at this guy's live vocals.

[@xandergarcia6757]

[@TheDuckylol]

This song is so dope. Can't wait

[@KardavoxAcademy]

See you soon!

[@lukeparsons583]

The ease with which you mimic these vocals is fucking incredible

[@evanmay8145]

Can you cover Holding Absence? Lucas is one of the greatest Vocalists i've ever heard. He uses so many techniques you've never really gone through on this channel before, so I think it would be really insightful!

[@duckguts6417]

Hey dude really loving your videos atm! Don't let me tell you what to do but would love to see something with Jason Butler. he's the frontman from Letlive, Pressure Cracks and Fever 333. I have always loved his vocals because of the amount of attitude and personality he manages to squeeze out whilst he's screaming. He has a special talent for those ascending highs too that start high but finish higher (heeeeayaaAAGHH). A lot of screamers just kind of follow the book and you get your highs your lows the occasional shout, but Jason has always had a lot of clever accentuation and mouth sound which makes his vocals unstoppably distinct and personal. The best example of this I could think of is almost any track off the album "Fake History", the LetLive vocals and general production become a little less heavy after that album. he did a song called "Be A Wolf" with a group called "Pressure Cracks" which showcases his heavier style pretty well too, which you should check out for if nothing else the RIDICULOUS high (long ascending I mentioned a second ago) at 3:12. Fever 333 is generally less my thing as it has a lot more stadium sound to it, but don't let that put you off it's very cool and I respect the hell out of it. Some links to tracks for reference at the bottom. Thanks for the vids and keep on truckin, love to see this kind of in-depth heavy music content

[@2Tantric_4U]

Yeah man, appreciate what you do! I'm in the camp for Hickory Creek as well!

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Thanks, Tyler. We will see what the future brings! ;)

[@AaronScutt]

I know this is a vocal analysis...and I love me some Phil...but the bass is so amazing in this song. It caries the clean parts even...just awesome.

[@alexandercarlinmusic9467]

Every time I hear the clean part of this song it gets me so emotional just because of how he sings it. I'm fully convinced this is Whitechapel's best song.

[@CruciaLou]

Now they’re label mates with you guys! Good video! 💪🏼

[@EricChampey215]

That video had me captivated! I couldn’t even really hear the song unless you reacted to it lol

[@magdaem.5548]

You should check acoustic version of Hickory Creek :) whole song is with Phil's clean vocals :) it's beautiful af!

[@sentenced03]

this album was amazing and phil killed it with the emotion in it.

[@snorlaxesque]

And just like that, I can suddenly get way closer to those Phil Bozeman tones. Kind of leaving the tongue floating (not flat nor against the roof of the mouth) seems the key piece I was missing 🤙🏻

[@kuroinamida4630]

You really need to do Forgiveness Is Weakness from the same album in which Phil lets out his hate for his stepdad after that has passed away (the song literally starts with 'He is finally dead') and Hickory Creek which is an all Clean Song/Ballad

[@AgainstTheeWickedlyMusic]

Awesome reaction and breakdown of Phil's vocals. Him and Travis Ryan were my main two inspirations for learning harsh vocals, and this album completely changed what I thought deathcore could be, as it showed a lot more than what lies in ths normal formula. Also, I'd love to see you check out/break down some Rings of Saturn! Ian is insane, and I always wondered about his approach to vocals!

[@chloestarshine]

I am not really into deathcore, but I love this album. I was very pleasantly surprised by the range in Phil's vocals because of how I expected deathcore to be based on what I'd heard before, and now I'm more open to trying more of the genre if more artists use melody and maybe even some cleans in their music.

[@Unknownusername1004]

Look up the album ground zeros by as blood runs black They got a bit of hate for it because of cleans but it's my favorite they made even above their album allegiance

[@MoSweiti666]

Give Fit For An Autopsy a listen. Their latest album is incredible and I recommend it to those who liked The Valley.

[@astrong0]

Mark! I had the exact same thought with the laryngoscope! I work as a sterile processing tech in a hospital and I had the wonderful opportunity to examine my eardrum with one of the lumen cameras we use to inspect instruments. I really really wanted to stuff it down my nose and watch my vocal folds. You are not alone!

[@L3sserDrag0n]

I love this channel boss love the breakdowns on the vocals and just the education vibe you got on the whole metal genre keep up the good work boss!

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Hell yeah, thanks for watching!

[@reaperseeker]

I dont know why, but when the clean vocals start in the middle, I almost thought MJK from Tool was guest singing. It just hit right in that track in my mind.

[@KardavoxAcademy]

That's interesting!

It would be cool to have a video on some more slammy stuff. The vocalist of the Left to Drown Niko Apostolakis (guy behind Until We Die and Whxrexrusher) was some crazy good vocals and such a ridiculousy wide range that at somepoint you're gonna have to a video on him especially the song Bloodless by Left to Drown

[@terramortem3005]

Bro check out Hickory Creek same album beautiful tone to his voice

[@haloedge2829]

I absolutely adore this whole album. The complete album tells his life story and the tragedies within it. The pain and the rage is real and raw. Hickory Creek is specifically for his mother and Bring Me Home is for his father, both heartbreaking. Forgiveness is Weakness is targeted at the man that led to his mother's death (2 other women died in that man's home too).

[@pagewagley4743]

I thought Bozeman killed it with the cleans, didn't try to overdue it, and just stayed in his own pocket and range.

[@charliewaterson8401]

Phil is a great vocalist. His cleans remind me of Corey Taylor's cleans. I would love to hear an acoustic work from Phil exploding his range

[@CaffeineFreak13]

Have you ever done any breakdowns of dethklok? I have an easier time with vox from heavy hitters like phil bozeman, alex terrible, and mitch lucker, but have a hard time with brendon small's cus he talks with his. Is it heavily produced?
