They actually had to bring on a guest vocalist for this one because their usual female singer, AISHA, couldn’t do the deep voice. …which also means that Molly Daisy was the only vocalist for this whole song, and did BOTH voices

@smward87 6 ай бұрын

This isn't even as low as she can go either. They obviously wanted the lyrics to still be 100% intelligible even for people not used to growling vocals so she's not even using a fraction of her range. She's the singer in the grindcore band Hyper Psychic, so she can go much lower and harsher than this.

Elphelt is Ramlethals sister! Compared to Ramlethal Elphelt is super bubbly and fangirly, and she carries around a marriage certificate in case of the (highly likely) event she falls madly enough with the first man she sees. She had a huge wedding motif in Xrd that was toned down in Strive in favor of communicating her being a metal singer now, but in Xrd she wore basically a wedding dress. In the story of Xrd their mother created the two of them for the purpose of fusing them with Justice, to gain the power needed to basically restart the universe in her image. To that end when both sisters eventually broke free from her control she kidnapped Elphelt and tried to force the fusion, but Sol, Ram and gang saved her and Jack-O (a Valentine seperate from El and Ram, made by Asuka instead of Ariels) took her place in the fusion. Sin, Elphelt and Ramlethal now all act pretty much like found family, with Ky and Dizzy as the parents. Ramlethal joined the Illyrian army, and Elphelt was also given a job in the government but she wasn't able to keep up with it which made her feel guilty even though nobody was really mad at her for it. Regardless she ran away, searching for her true calling, and discovered that she just loves sharing happiness and love more than anything else. Therefore she decided to become a singer in order to do that, and that's pretty much the state she's in now, trying to get her career off the ground (she's not quite a star yet contrary to what ppl think, she mentions she's only sold 8 concert tickets so far). Elphelt Ram and Sin as a trio are some of my favorite characters in the series. Their story in Xrd is just so peak. This song was entirely sung by Molly Daisy who is new to this series! She's insane she killed this song so hard. Motifs wise, at 2:15 (in the original song, not your video) you can hear a little bit of All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carrey, which makes sense because that song is a love song, and Elphelts birthday is Christmas Day. Additionally between sections, and especially at the end of the song, you can hear the intro to her Xrd theme, "Marionette". Her theme in Xrd was pretty dark sounding so hearing it again so loud and clear and so upbeat at the end of her new song feels like it's the end of one chapter of her life, it's really sweet. Marionette is also just a banger.

An even simpler explanation of Ramlethal and Elphelt's relationship as sisters is that Ram represents the logical side of the brain and El represents the emotional side of the brain.

Thank you for the lore I knew they were related to some extent 😅 But their songs also make sense now when you listen to ramlethal, the part when the lyrics say something along the lines of "I just want you to hear someone's little voice" or something like that. I always thought she was referring to someone and not the player if that makes sense lol

As others have said, both the growl and "regular" vocals are both done by Molly. It's also canonically a song that Elphelt wrote for her own wedding ceremony, I don't think there are official lyrics out yet so it may actually be "Our Hallelujah". It has a section of "All I want for Christmas" because her birthday is December 25th, and a section of "Amazing Grace" because of the themes of being lost, but a bit inverted, she lost grace of the Universal Will and is still finding her purpose.

Something that it seems like you missed is that at 5:45 this song actually samples "All I want for Christmas" which apart from being hilarious on its own is a reference to the fact that Elphel was born on Christmas.

I must say Ive been watching you for 3 or 4 months now. But I will always love that you notice things that I dont even on first listen. Your teaching me more and more about music that I didnt already know. Also love the new graphics and ui editing youve been doing! Other things ive notice but others have also noticed: Certain parts of the song has little hints through the chord prog of other love related songs specifically 9:07 shares a chord prog with Amazing Grace. 5:30 also shares some rythm uniqueness with All I want for christmas is you.

I like to jest that out of all music genres, people who are into metal tend to be the most chill, so having something that's primarily Death metal be so joyous and partly use the melody of Amazing Grace because why not just makes perfect sense.

This may be a bit late and this might not be seen and someone may have already said this but; the parts of the song after the 3/4 waltz bit is supposed to sound like a wedding march. This fits the character of Elphelt well because she is obsessed with finding a husband.
