WHERE IT ALL STARTED

Man, i said it before in one of your videos: you are amazing!!! and i can totally understand how you feel about finding a band in your city... i'm from Italy and there are a very few people that are into death metal... but we like it so much also because it is just for few people, isn't it? ;) keep it up, you're gonna make it one day. HAIL TO YOU BROTHER!!!

that snapping and adding your growl was amazing.

I really think it's great how you handle the questions of the viewers with such a patience . Even the strange ones like about a marriage .. You certainly are an inspiration for many of us ! ;) Keep it up! And thanks for ALL your Vids. :) Greets from austria!

awesome vid! and an even better growl at the end :)

lol nice vid and thanks for answering questions :) and are those lil vids at the end serieus video responses..?

Its great to look at this guy when he was just starting and compare it to him nowadays...

@Necrolaus Ghe, ill show it in the next video. It's actually a little black heart. With the letters "dark love" above and under it.

I love your art and your voice is amazing.

you are seriously the most epic guy on youtube, stay brutal

Thank you for posting this! From a girls point of view, I LOVE the fact that you say up front that you have a girlfriend and set the record straight and show pictures of you with her. That's so sweet! :) Not many people would do that, in fact you see more of the opposite. She is beautiful! Thank you for all the instructional videos for growling and squealing. You really have KILLER vocals for Death Metal! Hopefully you will find the right people to start a band with. I'd buy a cd! Thank you.

And LOL at the last few seconds...the whole eye thing...You are awesome dude... >:D

haha, hij leest gewoon de metro :) supervet! en supervette video, man! ook grappig dat je zei dat misschien het volgende een "sheep squeal" is, zie het echt voor me, mensen die dan in een video "bèèèèèèèèh" doen.. :)!

i like this guy hes so humble about opinions

I have to admit i love this "guy" since he started uploading his videos ... last part i mean the end is awesome. so far ur the best "teacher" in utbe :)

@MetalFreaknr1 You don't get it...i'll save that question and handle it in a Q&A...;-)

@G4RYT4YLOR You're welcome and tnx for the compliment dude!

@MetalFreaknr1 Well as you will see how I will do it now, the names will be in screen just like I did in the video with that boxfullofcacti kid....

2 questions: -When you growl, do you have the same feeling in the back of your tongue as if you were clearing your voice (dunno if i'm clear, you know, does it feel the same than when you go like "ahem"?)? -About a band, have you ever thought of an internet collaboration? You know there are surely many people on myspace or youtube that would be glad to send you some pieces of music you could sing on (including me;)).

@UnionPacificBigBoy Daar ben ik nog nooit geweest, maar altijd goed om te weten..;-) En ik hoorde als eerst het nummer "wodan heerst"...toen had ik al genoeg.

@MetalheadFighter Aeon, Origin, Bolt thrower, Amon Amarth, Psycroptic, Immolation, Dying fetus ( it's just the name ), Gorod, Insision, Hour of penance, Fleshgod apocalypse and many more.

I love your vids dude :')

I´m using your videos to impove my listening XD, I´m spanish and this is one of the best ways to improve my own (and poor) english level XD, congratulations for your channel, it´s great!

Hey man, nice vocals. Good luck in finding a band ^_^

Hahaha, you're awesome dude. I'd like to see more videos from you. :)

8:56 lol!! Exactely. Classic vid man. Was informative and gave me another chuckle. Take er easy.

Haha no worries man, and yeah she lives at my house now for over a year...in September we have 4 years together..:-p

@slayerdude18 Tnx man!..;-) En bij jou in de buurt leeft death metal ook veel meer. Hier in de stad is het bijna niks helaas.

@TheNoobNL I can't say if their serious but it were video responses yes.....

@BalkanskiShpijun Guess it's a sort of tic.....

@MetalFreaknr1 Another question for another q&a...;-)

THE SHEEP SQUEAL?THE SHEEP GROWL? asuhushauhsauhsa that one was aweasome, your videos helped me a lot

@devildrive04 Thanks man, I think so too.....;-)

Do you know any good death/black metal bands from finland? btw your videos ROCK!!!!!!!!!

It's not, check my tattoo's video for all the tattoo's I have...;-)

@finaldrumer Short explanation: I don't believe, and I can't say there's nothing. I can't proof any of the two. But I do hate what religion spews into this world.

Ik luister bijna alles wel, maar death blijft mn favoriet..;-)

hey i began about 2 months ago growling i can get the sound but i have problems with keeping the growl long as it kinda breaks at the end of a long growl, do have any advice for something like that?=)

That is awesome that you quit. That happened to me too, and I quit smoking. It has been two years since I last smoked.

this guy is one of the few people on youtube that can do the proper vocals, and listens to proper death metal.

Im at the young age of 14 and I've always been interested on how to growl grunt and pig squeal. I guess what Im trying to get across is how did you learn to growl like that? Like you said you knew how to grunt and growl at the age of 15 and you werent smoking.

die wenkbrauwen op't laatste, geniaal hha :D ! like your vids !!

almost exactly

@pichirisu Yeah all I could think was "what the hell?"

Im pretty young. So is it a good idea to drink water when you scream, growl, grunt etc? By the way im a big fan :D

Hey! Can you do a sheep growl? I MUST hear it!

I greatly approve you quitted smoking. Makes you even more brilliant.^^

what is your outlook on lamb of god or morta skuld or sepaltura?

@TheScreech010 Go see all my video's and see if you're right about that.....you're not.

i bet quitting smoking was the healthiest thing for your big cd collection :D

are you canadian??? just asking love your vids

@deathsnake666 Ow i don't, it's just fun to give an argument which they can't reply on logically...;-)

You would fit perfectly in a Wagnerian opera, as the baryton singer. Especially with your beard, hair and voice.

@MetalheadFighter Probably a bit late for this, but Death and Children Of Bodom are a couple I like.

7:38-7:43 u might not know it ur self but that is very hard to do. ur able to bend ur voice very well, into growls and grunts ect... and thats all it is ppl, all u have to do is work on bending ur voice to a lower sound, dont worry about exhaling or inhaling. P.S. i do both :)

@GingerCrashDummy Thats the most important thing man...that she stays yours...

@holman26 Hahaha i'll take that with me in part 2...;-)

@NonPointRulz101 Well i've been agnostic all my life and will stay one. And I am not really into white metal. I accidentally bought a cd of Inevitable end. And thanks for the comment on my girl man. I apreciate that! -Ed

And: Have you tried throat singing? You could be very good at it (as grunting is already a kind of throat singing...).

haha somebody's gotta invent the sheep growl ! that would be brutal

Do you think metalheads consider lyrics have importance to the same level as the music? How do you think we go about understanding lyrics not just to remember words but also understand the themes and concepts and feel that the lyrics have meaning? Can a metalhead be considered a real metalhead is he or she can't make out true meaning to the songs and should they then not put up posters and wear t-shirts of their favorite band if they dont? An answer is much apprieciated.

@Freakthemighty4 well, he was in a band called Sapiens End

Congrats ^^

@MrJizzinator I used to, but these days I just look at what I came to see . But now it seemed that people think they're ninja's ans making serious fighting moves. If anyone would hit me like that it would become a bloodbath.....so I just remain on the side. Furthermore I don't wanna leave my girl alone in a filled concert hall...

Ed,you always could advertise for band mates outside of Amsterdam.. James Hetfield? Or immitate a Rottweiler's growl,but lower?

Are you from Amsterdam New York or Amsterdam Netherlands?

The second clip with growl(newspaper). Wasn't it close to the real growl?

infidel I have a question! what video is that with the wannabe ninjas? please i cant find it!

people that said you didnt sound like Johan hegg, probaly ment you didnt use the same vocal technique, like... you grunted, Johan growls/screams:) and with the cupping, you dont like bands that cups the mic sometimes, like... I declare war. anyways nice vid^^

is the naming of the snake "Quasi" in reference to The Huncheback of Notre Dame?

@Metalmanijak /watch?v=TSr2gntZlX0 Q&A4 ;-)

You are always looking down on us, your camera always points upward. It's like you are god and you're talking to us from heaven.

@AndrewTArmstrong Haha thanks man, yeah i think she's a real beauty too and I am quite proud of her. Just wanted to show her, you know how youtube is...If I say I got a girlfriend..people want proof. ;-)

@myronownage Als ik nou ook nog zo kon drummen....:-p

It's my pig squeel! It's mine!!! xD Good vid.

i wanna play that sort of music but i live in australia :( well more along the lines of arch enemy/dimmu borgir/decapitated every one seems to all hardcore and stuff wich sucks

@MetalheadFighter Just a question, but why wouldn't you listen to a CD ''because the album cover is filthy''? If the music is great, the album cover shouldn't matter. I have CD's i like with album covers I don't like...

@Khanisghen Death, they are my favourite among Wintersun

I have a question, how'd you like playing gimle on LORD OF THE RINGS?

I really hope I am wrong, but your tattoo near your left hand ( 0:31 ) looks a bit like a svastika if you press the pause button. Couldn't imagine that you would really have a tattoo like that, so what is it then? :)

Very cool your video man!

i think your pig squeal is awesome! but, please, PLEASE, can you please make up sheep squeal(like very shivering growling, like a sheep, you know), make a video doing it and post it? it would have been so f***ing awesome!

Wheres the myspace link?!

Congratulation. It would be a very beautiful gift if you put a video of your mariage on a video. Thanks again for the CD of Meadows end.

were you at wacken festival ?

@ILoveRalfMackenbach Misschien is een cursus Nederlands geen overbodige luxe voor je. Al je woorden slaan nergens op. Maar probeer het gerust nog eens.

damn I love this guy

thanks mate ur the best one last one would u cover this song Hypocrisy's Fire in the sky

zeg luister jij alleen Death Metal of ook thrash black en post-thrashHardcoregroove btw je grunts zijn echt super

hahaha rustig zitten met die metro :P,, genius,,

@Infidelamsterdam rofl i think you enjoy owning them as much as i do reading it

8:42 lol je bent goed en wat jij deed van lucht naar growl kan ik ook ='D

yove got the skills that pay the bills!!

-.- what do you think if he only has a myspace

@ngshredtolive Damn, now you mention it...hahaha yeah i'll put that in. ;-)

@Infidelamsterdam Anytime man. You gotta prove that shit. I wish that my beard would grow out like yours. I've never let it grow that long before...do you think it could be that long? :P

waar heb je dat aborted shirt gekocht

8:55 I was laughing sooo hard ahahahha i love you

@demonking653 Uiteraard, als je een vraag in het Nederlands stelt dan antwoord ik ook zo..:-p Stel je m in het engels dan doe ik m ook in het engels.....dus jij mag kiezen ;-)

Scary snake!!!! but you're really cool :)
