How do you get your voice so gutteral and to sound like a squeeling pig travis =p?

[PreDeadMan]

hahahah gives us n00b vocalists some hints when i see you live you are AMAZING watching you sing is so incredible from the gutteral to the squeels so fucking kick ass so ill stop rambling on travis give us some of your techniques on how to do it lol if it is possible to explain it through the computer that is hahahahaha \m/ let the metal flow

[dr0ne]

squeels are easy, just breathe in and and try to say "wee"

The "breathing in" technique is weak and there will never be a band that can do it and stay cool. It's a technique used by bands that we deem "terminally local". That's a dumb way to do vocals to me. Completely limiting and fucking dumb.

[skunk carcass]

i was too wondering about the gutteral growls, i hear shit about "it comeing from the diaphram" but i'm at a loss to what that means. my band in progress wants me to go from drums to just vocals, and i could use some advice on making nasty vox! i have an alright growl, and i mix it with a high pitched almost audible vox (think something like Bathtub Shitter, Macabre, that sort of thing) but being able to gurgle without pitch shifting would be great, any tips?

[butthole]

I don't have any special technique or anything.... I don't think. Alot of people say "what's that thing you do with your tongue it's funny"... well, it's completely functional, as I always say. I can't explain it but it was created by trying to emulate the sound of 2 vocals at one time.. highs and lows, combined they make what I can, in the studio that is, a "mid". in the studio I'll do low tracks, double up with some highs and on real clencher parts do the "mids". Live I end up emphasizing the "mids" and it comes out sounding like pig squeals. I use my stomach or diaphragm to force air out slowly, both with lows and highs. WIth the lows I concentrate on the area in the back of the throat where the air is "pinched off" while curling my tongue. The highs I concentrate on the same area, just in a much higher pitch and obviously not trying for the gutteral sound. The tongue thing took some experimenting but I came up with a way to totally alter the way I sound, kind of like when mucus builds up and you start talking and you sound like a totally different person.... sometimes it happens after you burp or when you're drinking soda... but it's kind of the same principal... I think it has to do with pressure... shit, I don't know.

come on putos, it's just screaming! I'd give it up to be able to play drums as well as I used to again anyday!

I've seen people do what you'rre talking about at the end there, and they are always cupping the mic.. do you cup the mic? For one thing, cupping the mic allows you to achieve SUPER lows and ultra highs, but what nobody understands is, every band I see do that, the singer sounds EXACTLY the same as the next. Everyone is trying to outdo Disgorge, or whatever new goregrind band is completely destroying everybody. But it's "hacky" and lacks style. I really think people should not concentrate so much on HOW people do certain vocals. Try emulating it yourself at the most, you may come up with your own style you had NO idea was in you! That's what happened to me. I was just trying to outdo Chris Barnes(which I feel I did immediately at the age of 17!) or even that stupid pitch shifted voice on Symphonies Of Sickness and Reek Of Putrefaction. It's all derivative from here on out fellas.

[skunk carcass]

i cup the mic, but usually just to hold it better. like i said, i have an alright growl, but yea it sounds a bit better with a cupped mic. but oh well, i'll just have to experiment with my diaphram, my band isn't in any hurry to go anywhere so that gives me time to screw around. i guess the best thing to do is experiment.

haha, well i've seen and heard people pull it off that way but I don't know how it would hold up for years and years of touring. sure it doesn't sound the best (Bound and Gagged) but it still isn't a bad little trick.

[skunk carcass]

yea, but then you get dumb asses like Chris Barnes doing that annoying "RRRRRWWWWWWEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" crap that is just pathetic.

eh, Barnes use to be good but pot and overtouring (i guess) got to him and took it's toll on his voice. I was really suprised though when I first heard CxDx and learned that Travis didn't use any kind of vocal effects.

kudoes to you Travis, even if you are mean to me :(

[butthole]

Not to really bag on Chris Barnes(cause if it wasn't for him or other dm vocalists at the time, i'd have nobody to try to defeat) but i really haven't been a fan since Tomb of the mutilated.... but the breathing in thing I think is something people developed to kind of try to "cheat"... its not something you can keep up in a live situation... if you can, you got oneup on me I guess, Ijust think it sounds kind of dumb and alot of people ask me if that s what I do and that kind of bugs.. didn't mean to bum anyone out...haha...

[scum]

i'll admit, it i'm guilty of breathing in, but lately i've been able to gurgle (although not very loud, that comes with practice i guess) using a technique similiar to the one travis was explaining.

[butthole]

I just noticed that when those Czech gore brind bands started doing it, everyone started trying it and they all sound dumb, like they're trying to outdo everyone and be the craziest sounding dude ever... this kid came up to me once and said "hey man, can I do some vocals for you?" I said "sure" and he started doing the inhale pig squeal thing. I said something like "that's cool" or something but the whole time thinking "wow you did it for a whole 4 seconds at a time and managed to sound totally lame to boot".

yea, alot of the newer pig squeel gore bands sound like shitty versions of pigsty

[doubleonegative]

the secret is to write really short lines like the guy in mortician. two words are really easy to grunt real low like he does. you do have to get that burp growl going from way down low though. but i only practice singing as i'm driving my truck.

while on the subject, thanks CD for coming out with Humanure while i had bronchitis for 2 months. it would've been shorter but i kept singing along w/ travis and it killed my throat and kept it from healing

i guess this is related , i dunno, but....

Travis' vocals are definately recognizable, unlike a lot of death metal vocals. Well, actually, unlike almost all death metal vocals. I turned on the new Cephalic Carnage album "Anomalies" and during "Scientific Remote Viewing" I heard doubled up vocals and was like, damn, THAT SOUNDS LIKE TRAVIS!!!! I opened up the book and saw it was him. It's good to be distinctive, makes you stand out.

That song rocks to hard too....

umm it actually isn't quiet at all. i spend WAY too much of my time trying to perfect my different vocal styles. i try to pull off everything from Psycroptic to Circle of Dead Children sounding shit and it's been coming along fuckin great.

i mainly stick to regular death vocals for my band though, with the occasional scream or toilet vocals.

Cool! just don't cup the mic or else you're faking. period.

that's another thing I just remembered.... mic cuppers are cheating. ANYONE can sound like the gnarliest, lowest, highest, most brutal when cupping the mic. I HATE THAT SHIT.

Yeah I couldn't live with myself if I did that... What the hell is the point of sounding brutal if you really aren't capable of doing it? It's like using effects.

Integrity people! hahah

[demonofthefall]

Travis, you have some of the best vocals in studio, and can definately back your shit up live, and i love whe you add in those squeals, but not just you, your whole fuckin band rules and destroys all!

and i will see you this friday at Brick and will probably bring my camera to take some stills.

Travis I am sure you can do better then most of the Death Grind bands out there in a live performance considering the fact that you tour a lot more then they do and have done a lot more live shows obviously but as far as the CD’s go some of these Death Grind bands are excellent…but that is recordings. But as far as Disgorge they have had three vocalist and their second one is better then you live…sorry bro I don’t mean you suck or anything haha. But Mattie Way does pretty damn good vocals as well…do you consider other vocalist rivals or what?? And weren’t you part of Disgorge? And as far as you claiming to be better then Chris Barnes by 17...lets just say I doubt it haha. Any way butt hole at of a scale from 1 to 10 what would you rate yourself?????? I will give you a rating afterwards.

I wasn't in Disgorge.

there are all sorts of people that are more brutal or insane vocally than me and the next guy and the next guy... Back then I'd hear butchered at birth and was like "damn, that's the lowest vocals ever right there" and then noticed he cupped the mic when he sang live and I noticed that when I would cup the mic it sounded fucking brutal and low as hell. So then you do it without cupping and you realize how hard it is to make those lows and you try to work on it from there. It seems everyone thinks these other guys are soooo fuckin brutal when the truth is YOU can be just as brutal if you utilized the technique they do... just place your hands around the ball of the mic like you're holding the mic in the middle of a bowl and then grunt through your fingers. It leaves me thinking... what ever happened to STYLE???

When any idiot can cup a mic and sound like a fucking toilet bowl, you kind of have to ask yourself these things.

I creep up on the ball of the mic alot out of habit, but you'll never see me do the two handed cup.

And at the end of the day it's as mesmerizing as a person with double jointed fingers, or a guy who can suck his own dick. Kaboykee.


And I don't chart on that scale. I am out of the range because I generally do more vocally than who you've suggested. And I will not rate myself. That's just stupid.

Gurge from Lord Gore has some of the lowest vocals i've ever heard and they even have a sticker that reads "Absolutely NO Pitch Shifting, Harmonizer, Cupping, or any other Vocal Modulation is used in Lord Gore" on the Autophagus Orgy slipcase

Perhaps in a recording maybe, but live I doubt it…I don’t go by brutality with your vocal or the bands music although I enjoy the brutality Cattle Decapitation has I also enjoy the sounds…it is very peculiar and not to many sound like Cattle Decapitation.


Where did you see that happen? they never played memphis with Aj I don't think...!


I doubt they played in Memphis at all to be honest…I have only seen you guys play there because I haven’t lived there my entire life, I want to hear you guys play somewhere else…San Diego or anywhere in California would be the best.

[JohnnyJihad]

Aj magana = Disgorge's second vocalist.. Matti was their first.

Aj is my favorite period... his style and patterns are untouched as far as I'm concerned..

And Travis if you've heard Consume the forsaken it should be obvious he isn't cupping for ub3r l0wzzz or any of that shit.. He's just good. Great stage presence.. I really hope he finds another band.

Maybe we can have a bit of discussion on how to mouth certain types of sounds..

I for one am completely lost (and desperate) in learning the mid-ranged crunchy type of high..

For example.. Suffocation's funeral inception.. Frank growls "god forbid, god forbid.. and then the second time around it's god.. for.. CRUNCH hahahaha

I can't figure it out. Levi does it well in disgorge now.. and Aj did it.

I wish it was only used to accent the lows though.. I usually don't enjoy vocalists who ONLY squeal or predominantly do it.. you can accentuate them by mixing them with lows into patterns and so on..

Hell, you're a vocalist I don't know why I'm addressing you with it.. but regardless... for vocalists who do that shit I really think it should be used to accentuate rather than the main texture/tone a vocalist uses.

[demonofthefall]

i was at a opeth show here in san diego, and my sis met AJ there, then they ended up going home together, but she wont tell me what happened after that.

[JohnnyJihad]

Was that recently? I don't even know if he is still a part of the scene.

[demonofthefall]

it was about a year ago, after he split with disgorge, then he came up with some bullshit saying he was singing for vital remains

[HatredEmbodied]

I get so sick of that cupping shit, there is absolutely NOTHING brutal about breathing heavy and basically whispering into a mic. Travis has a great style and showmanship live that smokes 90% of these gore grind bands "trying" to be brutal...

[glitch]

use the cupping to acheieve a more generic sound, just dont rely on it. all it takes to get those kinda vocals is practice, there really isnt much else to it

i agree with this guy....generic death metal has ALOT of cupping, and I'd rather have the occasional loser cup the mic than be without all the good DM bands out there that pull it off well.

Travis, I heard you played drums for Disgorge, But it was before they were known as Disgorge...yea?

[butthole]

haha... no not at all. Disgorge is Ricky's band and always had been from what I remember... I played drums with a band called Strangulation with Diego and Ben from Disgorge. We all grew up in Escondido, CA. I went to high school with diego and got him in the band with us. YEars later they kicked me out cause i was too cocky I guess, and wasn't into playing nonstop blast beats. I was always trying to be more creative with my beats.. like sean reinert was a big influence on me... I really wasn't into doing just blast beats the whole time. We played shows with disgorge a few times and then a couple years later diego and ben joined disgorge, they couldn't find a good replacement for drums in strangulation.

[butthole]

No I don't use any effects. You can tell when someone is using a pitch shifter. I don't think I'm particularly super low... not now that there's guys that concentrate on just being as low as they can... eventually cupping, of course.

Plus, I talk in between songs and stuff and don't sound like a cookie monster...

[butthole]

actually, on the new split I used an old grocery store clerk checkout person microphone that sounds like an am radio. With alot of delay and reverb, but that was integral to the part. So I don't consider that cheating...

[ChunkBlower]

Yea my bro told me that you tried to use that at the Brick by Brick show on Friday and it didn't work that well,lol

[dr0ne]

I'm all for originality, if a band can pull a sound off then it's all gravy. But I think it's lame to use effects to sound like a band that is already out, cause come on, do we really need two Torsofucks?

Man...I totally agree with Travis on the cupping thing...I'm a vocalist, and I keep the mic close to my lips, but without cupping, just holding under the ball, and my vocals sound fine that way. If my throat's sore and I need to get out a good high, then I might cup, but rarely will I. Also, Travis, sick vocals. When you were starting to sing, how much did you practice?

This may be a stupid question, but I was listening to the album "to serve man" and I always thought you doubled the highs and lows, but listening to Travis talk on here, it sounds like he does both at the same time in real life.

Travis actually switches from highs or lows live, which ever he thinks is best for that part of the song, and when he does his highs, he screeches! haha, I like his vocals live a lot though.

I'm pretty sure he doubles on some parts, cause there are some parts where I think it'd be impossible to do in one take. But live he just goes with the flow and switches pitches.
