B L E S S T H I S ME S S WILL YOU BLESS THIS MESS

Damn. Sick. I love it.

Hi everyone, please take a minute to read the following, as I got some things wrong in this video. Greyson, former guitarist of Humble Abode, reached out to me personally and kindly corrected the record! Here is the correct lineup that was on the Manic Mansion album that I reviewed: Greyson Israel--Guitar Elvis Garay-Bautista--Guitar Yousef Shami--Drums Sean Alexander--Bass Danny--Lead Vocals And here is his message explaining in detail: My name is Greyson Israel and I am the former guitarist and original member of Humble Abode. I recently watched their lastest release with the new lineup and stumbled upon your video review for our first EP released in 2019. As much as I was humored and honored with your compliments, I feel slightly disheartened to hear that credit was given to Leon and Greg for not only my parts but for the other previous guitarists' parts. His name is Elvis Garay Bautista. When the Humble abode guys and I signed over to the record label, we decided to go with the contract that would re-label our album while we were to work on a full length or dual EP. It wasn't rewrote despite what credits might say on Spotify, bandcamp, etc... but the acoustics are new. Also, the drums you're hearing in Manic Mansion [either release] was wrote and played by Yousef Shami. Nelson's first take was Common Zombies, and I played guitar their too, but at that point Elvis was removed, and Danny tracked the 2nd guitar. It's not the end of the world, but I would think that the guys would have mentioned this to you and if not, that's okay. Manic Mansion was individually wrote by all of us, and it took a while [2016-2019] because we constantly wanted to refine the songs. We originally had another working title [where lines overlap]. Then we added Danny after a year of writing 3 songs and having multiple vocalists; which is where it came to a vote and we changed the name to Humble Abode. I don't know much about what's going on with the band currently as I haven't had any contact with them for a year now, but it's interesting to know they were able to record another album despite losing both Sean and Nelson during that time. Lastly, the "progressive" post hard-core lingo comes from the progressive rock category. I tried to be as creative as possible with the structure and composition, and was the primary songwriter, meaning my tracks were laid first. Greyson also requested his and Elvis's emails be posted with this update: Greyson: @ [email protected] & [email protected] Elvis: [email protected] I apologize for getting info wrong! I didn't do my due diligence in researching this album and gave some credit to the wrong people. Thanks again to Greyson for setting the record straight!

Wooooooooo! You back!

2:20 as a mexican who grew up in southern california, this is a shockingly accurate concoction we be making for snack time also shout out gobby

beeen waitttingggg for you to comeback

Cool. All we did in my vocal lessons were the trills.

You're back! Woohoo

this is the best for reading and studying, i wasn't able to concentrate until i found this, thanks!

Do you think is a good idea to try to sing like Jon mess if I'm a heavy smoker?

meat fetish

broo wya come back 😩😩😭. i would love watching your vids because it’s so obvious that you’re passionate about what you’re talking about Anddd you pmo with some good ass swancore. hope you doing good tho dude ❤️ happy new year comebakc or whaaa 😩😩

Incredible. Thank u

Bro has a screaming shed. I’m jealous

I was in the 12th grade when I found them

This was a good watch! Compassion is great. Have you heard 'Who Invited The Wolf?', awesome not-so-known band. They have Kurt on a song on their EP actually. They're great.

Agree, fantastic album with tasty beats, variation, instrumental / sample interludes, and as you mention whimsical lyrics that paint a very creative picture. A couple of things that I appreciate a lot are that he doesn't rely on any swearing or fillers, and uses correct grammar which all enrich the listening experience; and that there are so many nostalgic references to various aspects of life growing up in Fremantle (near Perth).

I did the E and had completely forgotten in my trance that I had roommates. I did it quite loud and it's in the middle of the night; I think they might be very concerned lmao

This album is PERFECTION.

Ma good pals 👌🎻

fuckkkk i love these guys so much. i would genuinely be soo fuckinh hapoy for some type of reunion.

I wish this guy would review more albums! 💀

Prolly one of the most underrated albums there is

My dude! Where you at? Hope you been doing good. Missing your album recommendations.

'the fish' is such a samplable soundbite lmao Also Perth represent!!

Мне помог момент с E. Вышел на нужное звучание. Thanks

I appreciate how much effort you put into this to get anyone to understand and practice without pulling a Capri sun throat obliterating attempt at so inching like anything not even close to what Jon sounds like. I may have to embarrassingly admit that I attempted and after so many attempts I am confidant that I've succeeded.. but I'm going to steal you're warm up chants.. they're my new chant and I feel like Jon Would appreciate the string of words you're using.. unless they came from him 😭lol

i love uplift spice and im always happy to hear people talk about them, great review :)

This is really excellent stuff - I thought I was OK at screaming but turns out I had a lot of basic errors and decided that with my taste changing towards this kind of layered yell/voice scream, I should start again. I can get the eeeyah by using my diaphragm (as a fairly experienced clean vocalist), engaging the false chord etc but my articulation when it comes to actually screaming lyrics still isn’t there. I know it’s been a while since you posted this, but do you have any tips to help with getting from being able to make the distortion to applying it with good diction? Obviously Jon is so good at this (as with the likes of Sam Carter), where you can hear every word cleanly - is it just literally practice and working at it? Thanks in advance!

Groovy shit man!! Loved this review, subscribed

Underrated

literally anything from a fever you cant sweat out is the perfect vocal warm up for my range. my heart leaped when you said panic because i knew exactly which songs you were refering to LOL

Band camp breathing techniques 😩

I saw them at the korova in San Antonio that same year and I remember for their sound check he was singing Drake songs loland what I always loved is that there are no choruses in their songs so all their songs was a trip! but man their set was fucking awesome. Wish they were still around :(

Do the beat tapes they are so fire

Great album. Off to BC!

My ESL ass is having a hard ass time keeping up with the english in the warm up 🥲🤣

This is definitely the pinnacle of Swancore, very sad they didn't end up making more. I do feel like you missed how great the bass work on this album is, it's got this lovely pop in the tone and there's a lot of melody that complements the guitar work so well.

The raspy sigh sound you made is where you essentially force your true-folds (vocal cords) and false-folds (false cords) to both create distortion. Doing that is just as bad as back in the days when "throwing" your falsetto to get false-cord highs was a thing, partially because the distortion comes from the same places. All it takes is to be too tense/dehydrated/tired one day, then next thing you know you can't speak for months. Jon Mess' actual vocal technique (after Jonny Craig's first departure) seems to be a very compressed pitched mixed drive scream. A noticeable amount of aryepiglottic fold distortion is present, and the arytenoids are acting more like they would in a false-cord scream. However, the false-folds are creating distortion in the way that they would when creating fry distortion, except they are not doing so in tandem with the arytenoids. To sum it up: Don't create the distortion the same way as the video. Jon Mess basically combines the two main harsh vocal styles and adds back in pitch while using a lot of compression. Not a true "false-cord" or "fry" scream, rather a mixed drive scream with pitch under it.

Glad to see a new video from you, A+

I absolutely love this vocalist. Such a nice range of texture/energy, a lot of post-hardcore vocalists can do the pretty singing + scramz, but I feel like this guy had some grit to his vocals also to add another layer and bridge that gap smoothly. Part 2 glem lerner is one of those songs that throws basic song structure out of the window and manages to make all its different fragments sound good/fitting to me. Love this band, I revisited them earlier this year after liking a few of their songs around 2015 and was very sad to find they broke up lol.

ive been trying since 2015, and i never could scream lol

😍🔥

Liked just for the warm-up alone

"I come out into my shed, where my screaming takes place." That made me laugh

This is one of those albums that got me into swancore as a whole, alongside Wake and Mothership. Definitely and overlooked gem. I was so psyched when they put out the instrumental version

Creepy thumbnail

Omg you should react to her project "nasty"

We made a conscious effort not to write choruses. At the time we thought they were boring. At least that’s how I perceived it.

Oh I'm hip to this. Wicked album!
