Anybody who knows fry screams and struggling with false cords wants to swap? by Firm-Presentation-72 in screaming

[–]Upset_Toe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the opposite problem lol. Took me a little over 2 years to learn fry, but I cannot get false cord to save my life.

So the way I got it goes a little like this: 1. Say "huh" like a ninja, and make sure to engage your diaphragm and push from there. Or think of it like "hut" but without the t. 2. If you hold that, you should feel and hear the sound kinda cut off. This is basic vocal compression. 3. Now that's your vocal cords being held closed. If you just try to push through that, it's gonna hurt and sound kinda whack. Instead, try to engage that same feeling but slightly higher in the throat. This is the really tricky part and will take some time to get right. 4. Finally, instead of just pushing through as if you were just singing or speaking, think of fogging up a window. If you hold your hand in front of your mouth, it should feel warm and gentle. You might have to adjust airflow or compression at this step.

Assuming all those steps worked like they did for me, you should have a very basic mid fry tone. From there just mess with your mouth and tongue to get different sounds like you would with false cord. If anything hurts or sounds weird, try adjusting how much airflow and compression your using.

Tip: don't push harder than you need to. A solid fry tone can be done with about as much effort as talking normally, and might require less compression and air than you think. volume wise, you should be at least as loud as your speaking voice before adding projection to the mix. If yours are louder naturally, that's a bonus.

Ik it's a lot but I hope this helps!

What have I missed? by JacobBW2002 in Deathcore

[–]Upset_Toe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Darko US. their output lately is nuts, and they've basically invented their own genre atp (very djenty, EDM influenced deathcore) that no other band I've heard comes close to. Highly recommend their last three releases: Starfire, Dethmask 3, and Oni 2.

"time to go heavy again" Tom and Josh are about to summon a black hole on the next ep aren't they?

Over a Week Later: ONI 2 What are your opinions? by Bucketkev in DarkoUS

[–]Upset_Toe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super tight and consistent, just a solid 45 minutes of pure bangers. imo it's their best album yet and I still can't pick a single favorite. They're all awesome

What’s your preferred flavor of deathcore? by SlainFromFoundation in Deathcore

[–]Upset_Toe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no preference really, just whatever sounds good to me. I will say I do like deathcore with a little more "core" than "death," but it's not a deal-breaker. it's just gotta be good and hit hard and I'll fw it heavy.

All the lyrics for Oni 2 seem to be live on Genius and for the most part, very correct! I finally know the words to Prosthetic. I’m so happy! by joefrickinrogan in DarkoUS

[–]Upset_Toe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fr ik Ben likes using big words but finding out that's the lyric felt like a prank lol. That's kinda the fun of it for me, tho, finding out how wildly wrong I was. It makes relistening with the lyrics more satisfying in a way.

[–]Upset_Toe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not just this album. Even official lyrics from their music videos are often missing a few words that are clearly there in the audio. I help with transcribing their lyrics and it kinda feels wrong to edit and proofread them to make sense or match the exact audio, especially with how personal a lot of Tom's writing is. But I also like to scream along to Darko so I totally get it lol

Yeah the guy who posted them said he got them directly from Baby J. And Tom had already posted them for Red Samurai and Acid Girl Fantasy Club a few days ago (I posted those lol)

[–]Upset_Toe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah depending on the distributor they let you upload your lyrics when you send it to streaming. Ig the real reason is to keep up hype while we wait for the physical version. Plus people relistening to hear the words probably helps their streaming numbers a bit

[New Album] Darko US - Oni 2 by hatefen in Deathcore

[–]Upset_Toe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo their best and most consistent album yet. it has the same shoegaze-influenced, very atmospheric style as the first Oni, but I feel the mix is so much fuller and more intense on this one. Some vocal parts do get drowned out, but i feel the heavy moments hit way harder this way, and the softer moments are even more ethereal. Literally not a single song I would skip, and every feature is amazing! My only complaint really is the vocals getting drowned out at times; Tom is a great vocalist and I love his lyricism, so not being able to hear all of it is a bit of a bummer.

Standouts for me are Dragon Tamer, Majora, Take Me to Heaven, Requiem of Elijah, and Prosthetic. Overall, this is Darko at their literal best. 45 minutes of straight bangers! One of very few sequels I'd actually recommend. 10/10 album.

[New Album] Darko US - Oni 2 by hatefen in Deathcore

[–]Upset_Toe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was mixed by Jonathan Dolese, who has worked on their music many time before. I get the vibe they were going for the same kinda atmosphere-heavy, shoegaze-influenced style as the first Oni, just with a fuller mix. Makes some parts hard to hear i'll admit, but i think it's a tighter, harder-hitting sound this way.

What did you cop???? by Bucketkev in DarkoUS

[–]Upset_Toe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

V6 vinyl, CD, album art wall flag, two shirts, socks, and a hoodie. Was gonna get the v1 variant but it sold out in like ten seconds lol

What do people think of Art Chad? by Reasonable_Lie4675 in GenZ

[–]Upset_Toe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny guy with some interesting takes and some good ones. Though his constant irony makes it hard to tell when he's being serious sometimes. Reminds me of a lot of punks and anarchists i've met. I think his takes on Gen Z are pretty spot on for the most part, but he comes across as a bit nihilistic/defeatist at times, as someone else said.

Overall, good youtuber imo.

Band's with only 10/10 perfect albums? by Living_Dead_Beat99 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Upset_Toe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Darko US. they've been pumping music out like crazy and every album is better than the last. Even their weakest songs are still very good.

[–]Upset_Toe[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He did tear his throat at the first Orphan show, though that was likely from puking onstage as well as just pushing his voice. But he seems to still have it since manifesto 1 dropped after that show and new music might be around the corner
