For Brummell – More whimsical grunting

Over the last little while I have been working on the previously mentioned ‘pig squeal’ vocals in anticipation of the band’s new recording in the spring. So far my success has been inconsistent at best. I decided to consult some expert instruction on both overtone singing and on the alleged squeals. So of course, I consulted YouTube. Thus far I have come to the conclusion that most squeal hobbyists actually perform them wrong, choosing to produce tones by inhaling rather than exhaling. Having witnessed/spoken to vocalists from bands such as Despised Icon, who perform this as a part of their music, I know this to be wrong and dangerous. But go ahead kung-fu-screamo-scene-kids, wreck your voices, it will only amuse me.

So, as a part of my research I have come across this exemplary piece of piq-squealery performed by the magnificently horrible underground unsigned death/grind band Waking the Cadaver. Although the song is called Chased Through the Woods by a Rapist, the band are in reality breakfast cereal enthusiasts, as can be sensed by the musical interpretation below. It would of course be very uncool to call your band Waking by Cuppa-Java – unless you were a weird mathcore/noise-grind hybrid. I detect a new side project….

Enjoy.
