Thank you for watching my video!!! You’re the man

i love how this guy AUDIBLY MOANED multiple times at will's vocals. we've all been there buddy

I’m so glad to see someone who isn’t familiar with this genre recognizing the talent and respecting the music! Thank you for your reaction David! You’re the best🤘

Funfact: Dickie Allen was one of Will's most inspirational influences in vocals and Dickie wanted to be an vocal actor for movies and ended up being an dreathcore vocalist. So your thought in the beginning speaking characters in games is understandable xD

I am so happy that you are watching this one take. Will will go down in history for one of the best vocalists in the genre.

I've been a metalhead for 50 years, and I have never heard a vocalist with the talent that Will Ramos has. I'm in total awe of him. He puts me in that trancelike state that amazing metal does.

The fact that it looks so effortless for him to perform this song like this is insane!

I got the chance to hang out with him for an hour after his show in Cambridge mass in August. He signed my face and my car and we literally just hung out in the parking lot ( very nice quiet and soft spoken guy) and I got alot of insight on his technique and the band I'm general. True and honest gentleman

If you told Will that if Satan had a voice it would be his, 100% his reaction would be: Awww! Thanks dude!

They have a video of him where a doctor puts a camera inside his throat..while screaming. He does no harm to any parts of his vocal system..amazing!

Someone else pointed this out, but Will does these absolutely amazing illustrations with his hands while he sings. It brings you into his voice on a different level.

Will actually has the voice of an angel. When you hear his regular voice, it makes it even more unbelievable this sound comes from him!

YES YES YES Okay so firstly, yes he is doing these vocals in a safe way, and TRUST ME , alot of people who emulate these tones are not. Hes doing what we call "fry centric hybrids" which just means hes using both his true folds and his false cords to create these sounds. Why im telling you that is because it plays a role in how he gets this demonic unique sound. Fry has maybe 3-4 different components to it from nasel resonance to placement to where in the throat the distortion sits. Will is using the traditional deathcore fry element youll hear in bands like Enterprise Earth or Angelmaker. BUT like i said hes also got that false cord playing a role in the scream, so when he does highs its also got this body underneath it, its not just this purely high sounding high like most frys are. And his lows... oh god... where to begin... So for his lows hes using 3 things... fry, false cord, and Epiglottis.... that last one, is EXTREMELY rare for anybody to be able to use in metal vocals without hurting themselves or literally choking on their own vomit....i might know from experience. lol If you check out Alex Terrible, he uses false-cord and epiglottis and if you check out the band DARKO and their vocalist Tom Barber, youl hear his lows are a combo of fry and epiglottis. All three of these men, Will, Tom, and Alex are some of the best in the game and confuse the fuck out of people because nobody can really properly emulate them. They can come close, but never spot on...which brings me to my favorite point.. Different anatomy means a different scream. So literally everybody has at-least a slightly different scream. No matter if theyre doing the exact same distortion technique, its always going to be unique. Thats part of why i love being a metal vocalist. because its such a huge and welcoming world of people just trying to find their voice and do vocals safely. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! KEEP IT UP BUDDY!!!

I absolutely love this mans attitude. You can clearly see his passion for music as a whole. ❤️

In my middle school we had an assignment where we needed to perform a solo in front of the entire music class(non-elective FYI) and the rule was no rap, and no screaming… if only music teachers understood the truth of how much effort and talent it takes to perform BOTH rapping and harsh vocal techniques. Thank you for helping to legitimize all of us rejects!

I love when musicians appreciate true musical talent regardless of the style

As a long time fan of this type of music, I know a lot of us fans have had to put up with people trying to delegitimize it for a long time. This year with this song blowing up, seeing all the positive reactions from people, even if it's not there cup of tea, and the respect going towards the musicians has been amazing. I in no way speak for the whole community, but for me, it's very appreciated.

7:28 actially started crying because you hit the exact point of why Lorna Shore has been my favourite band since 2017. The album Flesh Coffin is literally a voice to my demons

I just came from a video on the Charismatic Voice channel. They put a camera in Will's throat while he did vocalizations. It was interesting af!! This vocal talent is pretty darn mindblowing. I love it! Great reaction video! Thank you! :)

Tried for years to get into deathcore but it never struck me until Lorna shore dropped this EP and now I’m hooked

Love how i can watch some ppl here listening to this genre or this music in general, and they just natural flow with it, watchin them feeling it even tho they never listen to somethin like that before. That gives me peace

People might laugh at this but Will's performance makes me cry like a baby!🖤🖤🤘🏼🤘🏼💜💜

I seriously had my doubts after CJs departure but man is this guy the real deal. While I don't always come to this channel, it definitely is refreshing to see someone purely react and have a conversation. Thanks for all that you do.

7:30- brilliant comment. I’ve been exploring why I listen to the music I do. It’s mostly metal with some classical thrown in. But why metal? As someone who wasn’t super emotional growing up, metal has helped me tap into my emotional side. Metal covers then entire emotional spectrum and isn’t afraid to show it. It’s helped me be a better person. Another reason is that it isn’t afraid to dwell in the darkness. Whether it be a personal shadow, trauma, or “negative” emotions, metal isn’t afraid to provide a platform for exploring ones own darkness. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and respect towards this type of music. Peace. Chris

It's very operatic. The massive instrumentation backing the vocals. It's a musical journey.

Will Ramos has an awesome sense of humor. Following him on social media, there’s a lot of gems to brighten your day.

David mouthing the words to this song is the best thing I’ve ever seen.

I completely agree with everything you said, David. Your insight on the connection between this music and the human experience of realizing our brokenness is the same conclusion that helped me to appreciate this musical and vocal style. We can't begin to work on mending our flaws if we never even acknowledge them. Elizabeth from The Charismatic Voice recently interviewed Will. She's a classically trained opera singer and vocal nerd, so she went very in-depth on some of the questions you had. it might be of interest to you. Great reaction!

8:59 to 9:32 is easily the most impressive part of this whole performance

I think that Will would have a fantastic time chatting with you, I hope it can happen! He's lovely :)

Mike Patton actually lent his crazy vocals to a game and even a movie

Hi there! I just wanted to say that I have the most respect for you for pointing and recognizing the talent, effort, work and everything else that Will and by extension all other amazing extreme vocalists have and put into their craft. Is really touching for us to see they get recognized for the true art and talent they give us. Awesome reaction!

Hell yes! This version is sooo much better then the studio mix!

Man, a LOT of us would LOVE for you to react to their latest Pain Remains song trilogy. Especially since you also believe Lorna Shore is touching on something that a lot of us feel. ❤ (The subject matter for the trilogy is a little dark, but it’s very very real, and there is an alternate lyric video containing all 3 songs if you’d rather focus on the musical side of things without the imagery)

Actually, Dickie Allen, the vocalist of Infant Annihilator, kind of an influence here, originally did want to be a voice actor. Someone told him to try death metal.

Ive been following this guy since many years. He was doing covers of popular deathcore songs on his channel when i saw him for 1st time i was so impressed and it was like 6 years ago then he made his own band named *A Wake In Providence* this band really got me, his vocals on there were so impressive. Im so greatful for his career also the current band Lorna Shore is incredibly live.... they sound like studio i swear theres so many videos on yt from their concerts and they sound prolly the best of all deathcore-like bands.

Dude the thing i like most about these type of reaction channel, especially people that know what they're talking about like yourself, is that finally these extreme metal artists are starting to get the recognition and respect they deserve. Also a lot of people come in contact with various genres of music that they wouldnt experience otherwise. Please keep on doing what you're doing guys. Thank you

Will is rightfully so getting a lot of attention right now. But as someone well versed in Deathcore and other etreme metal genres I recomment you to look up the guys that Will said are his idols. Dicky Allen and Ben Duerr. Conviently both of those did a song together. Which is called Hollow Prophet - Scumprophet. Highly recommend it if this intreagues you!

Still waiting on that interview !!! Great work from the two of you

It was awesome seeing you get to witness this and now want to interview him, I actually hope will reaches out..super nice dude! He also did "of the abyss" as well from there ep. Regardless, Will is very talented and I have a lot of respect for all the time being trained or self-taught that these people go through in the metal genre. Loved the reaction man!

David, I have only been following you for a few months but your videos are so wholesome. If there is anyway I can support you other than subscribing on here let me know. Your videos on Jinjer, Spiritbox, and now Lorna Shore have been some of the most entertaining content I have seen in years. Please never stop making these kinds of videos, your musical expertise and perspective make me have a deeper appreciation for all the music I love. Keep on being you, my dude. You are truly an objective voice for music that the world needs right now and I appreciate you!!

And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope - Ne Obliviscaris

Would highly recommend listing to Infant Annihilator and Shadow of Intent on the channel as well. Dickie Allen of IA and Ben Duerr of SoI are some of the best in the game and Will Ramos credits them as being some of his inspirations. They also did a track together [Hollow Prophet's Scumprophet]. Would also recommend Brand of Sacrifice and Crystal Lake. Kyle Anderson of BoS is an absolute monster with a crisp clean voice as well, and Ryo Kinoshita of CL is also just a powerhouse of a vocalist. All sorts of talented bands in the scene, but those are the 4 I think I most want to recommend for someone just listening to modern deathcore. Ryo's also done a track with Spiritbox, a band you've checked out before [Spiritbox's Holy Roller ft.Ryo Kinoshita - there's 2 versions of the track].

Thanks for keeping up with the content David you’re awesome

My new favorite reaction video. Love the respect for his craft. “Profoundly unique” is a perfect way to describe his skillset

if you want to interview Will, im sure if you reach out on his Instagram or KZfaq channel he'll accept. he seems really humble and down to earth from the interviews ive seen :) especially if you flatter him the way you are in this video, not often someone that doesn't listen to this type of music truly appreciates the vocal ability and effort love this reaction man, got another subscriber :D keep it up

What an amazing reaction, I love your energy for these genres! Thank you for this ❤️

Am i the only one who wants to see him interview will????? i cant be the only one

"The charasmatic voice" was able to swing an interview with him and it was super enlightening, he seems like the kind of guy who would be down for it if you still want to interview him. That is if anyone can break through the onslaught of fans to ask lol

Tbh one of the best reactions on KZfaq so wholesome just good vibes not a care in the world I appreciate this videos fuck yeah

You are always on top of so many different genres and I appreciate you so much. You actually listen to all of your followers and do follow up videos just like with this one. I will forever be a follower so thank you for what you do! Keep it up!

You really should react to Lorna Shore’s (ONE TAKE VOCAL PLAYTHROUGH) of “Of The Abyss”.

might be the best react response I've seen. the respect is off the charts 🤘

im glad you dropped this on my birthday great vid!

The technique he's using is a combination of false chord gutteral screams and throat tunneling for the lows. The highs are fry screams and sometimes combined with throat tunneling. Throat tunneling is done with your tounge pressed against the back of your bottom teeth and when you do this with a false chord scream it sometimes makes the audio illusion of double distorted vocals. It also makes getting lower demonic sounding gutteral screams way easier from what I've seen just from trying it.

Yes! Please interview Will

Excellent video with very thoughtful comments

These guys are supporting Bring Me The Horizon on their next tour. I feel like they should also add Enya just to relax a bit between sets or after the headline slot.

Awesome vid!

Love these reaction videos! U have so much to say compare to many others! Great work!

Such a solid interview. Would love to see music shed interview him though. Think that would be sold

Much respect to you sir! Subbed!

I love the way will says pins and needles before the first breakdown

From what I know Will started as a fan doing covers like a lot of us. Singing along is one thing, but having immaculate control and just nailing the rattling highs with full range is something that's really hard to achieve. As a metal fan and somebody who aspired to be a voice actor as a child I can certainly sing along but doubt I'd ever achieve such crispy highs as Will. I can follow along the lows no problem but highs I can't quite get. There is tremendous talent here on top of endless rehearsal and natural gifts to have every transition, flip and vocal demonstration absolutely polished.

Highly suggest his “of the abyss” one take its so rad!!!!

Can you believe that that dude has asthma to he is incredibly talented

Hi, thanks for the video. I would like to see your reaction to the wonderful singer Diana Ankudinova. She is still young, but her performances amaze people from all over the world.

I didn't realize how much I wanted this video until i saw it

He has a pretty mellow voice, I met him after the show, super chill, so happy to answer any questions, all around great guy

You could definitely argue Dickie vs Will... but Will has done so much to bring our art into the mainstream and getting the respect it deserves... but Allen definitely deserves a watch man

Will getting the recognition he deserves really makes me happy. I love that man so much and would be an absolute honor To meet him. Coming from a guitarist, he’s inspired me to start practicing vocals a lot more!

craft recognizes craft. excited to see the interview!

Love your mug!

I have a hard time believing he would turn an interview down, the guy is super cool, like really nice!

What a great reaction!

thank you for being so open minded for such a niche genre

Saw them live in October, what you hear on the LP is what you hear live. Great group of guys too.

I highly recommend you to do some live performances of this band too. Not only Will but also the rest of them are absolute beasts at what they are doing and the good recorded live performances are just so anjoyable. I would totally love to see these guys live. Anyway, thank you for appreciating all the talents they have! Love your vids and greetings from germany

I had the exact same feeling listening to Will, I fully believe he is one of a few singers that could be amazing voice actors for something like a horror game.

Your comments at the end about mastery really resonated with me, not that I've achieved anything of the sort. But the struggle is real. Cheers for this!

I used to hate metal/screamo growing up because I could never understand the words, but someone once told me that i should listen to it like it's an additional instrument and not a lead vocalist. Totally changed my perception of the metal i listen to today. Now I SLAM/Deathcore is one of my main genres

Please do his one take of “of the abyss” a song from the same EP the best song on it in my opinion.

Im soo happy you reacted to this! Will Ramos has a one take for Of the Abyss and it is beautiful. The last song on the ep is amazing as well 😍

I love this channel

So awesome 🔥🔥🔥

Wow. This is the first time I've listened to his one take. I've heard the recorded version a good couple of dozen times and honestly, I think he's even better live. Absolutely blown away by what Will is able to do.

And on top of one the greatest metal vocalists of all time the band is literally amazing

3:55 "does this guy make voices in video games too"? I'm happy you said that because ever since I've seen these vocal one takes I was like "he could be a decepticon voice actor in the transformer series or actually any alien villain" - no editing needed!

This just made my day!!!!

craft recognizes craft. excited to see the interview ✌🏾

love it

In my listening to this style of music, there are a lot of ppl out there that can distort and do harsh vocals but VERY few that makes it sound good. Will is the bomb 💣 and I loved watching him do this song. There’s another video that actually shows his mouth configurations and I am not sure how he does that even!

"be open minded" I appreciate this in a big way when it comes to art/music it's always subjective and that's the best way to look at it, thanks for review/reaction to Lorna Shore lets hope that interview happens!

will is a beast 💜🖤🤘

There is video out there showing how he makes these incredible sounds with a camera going down into his throat. Very cool to see!

You NEED to check out the drummer from Lorna Shore - Austin Archer! He does a drum playthrough of several of their songs... mind blowing!

Your description of how this type of music gives a voice to the listeners demons brought a tear to my eye ngl. Very well said, thank you

Yes, the interview with Will from Elizabeth at "The Charismatic Voice" will answer some of your questions. And they're both just such genuinely nice people. You'll love it!

There it is! Thank you for reacting to this one! *Brand of Sacrifice - Animal* next! :D

Fun Fact he is going to be in a song in a video game. He just announced hes going to be in the Metal: Hellsinger DLC which is really cool
