I remember trying to even remotely mimick what Chester Bennington did on THAT scream on Given Up in my very early teens. After that, I could taste the blood in my throat, but turns out after that I eventually eased into my current technique, which can go from deathcore lows all the way to highs

"Great interview! Thanks for the mention! Matt talks about so many interesting issues that most singers are not aware of, but he has had to live them to understand the importance of training. Good job, man! Just to make things more clear: This "screaming" aspect, well, to be frank, it should not be called like that. It's a ...technique... and every singer or human body that practices this technique correctly and consistently can learn how to do that. It has been the same technique used by almost every major star on the planet. As Matt mentioned in the video, one can really hurt himself if it's done incorrectly. This is why it's important to train your voice with healthy guidance and not just following scales concerning the sound of the notes alone, especially if you think about a professional career. " "You can check by yourself how Matt practices as there is a masterclass recording he took with Ron Anderson and Dr.Pipe Perez (vocal coaches to the stars) where you can learn the approach on how to use every muscle in your body to support your sound and your scream healthily. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ipNp2qeAdrrWitI.html

1:10 - Same, In Flames was the first metal band I ever heard growing up, and Anders was the first vocalist I ever heard scream or yell.

man I grew up listening to the same bands he did but I didn't vibe with them then when I got into middle school I started listening to heavier new stuff like SOAD 3 Days Grace (only Riot) Rammstein, and so on but it wasn't til 8-9th grade that I got introduced to Bullet For My Valentine, and Trivium I played them on repeat, then one day my friend introduced me to As Blood Runs Black and Job For A Cowboy, he was so excited when he bust in my class room saying "dude you gota hear this, the double bass petal sounds like a freakin hum" when I heard that my heart actually fluttered, it was just like a movie and I knew I was a metal head

I love this dude!

Really awesome vocalist, and a favourite of mine for years. Keep being awesome Matt! If you guys have watched him stream live on Twitch, he does an absolutely fantastic job for a non studio recording or stage environment and without even warming up most of the time. An absolute legend and it'd be great having him do music for Metal Heads one day and perhaps even some 3-2-1-GO count-downs etc just for fun :)

Literally how I feel. Used to play rugby but I am injured now. So practicing guitar, screaming and singing is all I do

Interesting. Matt is awesome, it's nice to hear that even the pros need to adapt and constantly learn.

All the bands he mentions are bands that ive been into since was a teenager. Its no wonder im such a huge Trivium fan too

Trivium is Awsome!! Very talented Indeed. 🤘🤘🎸

Matt has the power, thats for sure! What a cool dude !

Homie’s discipline is an inspiration

This is very cool. Man, whatever it comes to your life, don't let it get to you. Just keep doing what you love to do even if you can't scream anymore. The music is your life, right 😉👍

Nice! I'd tried for a while, on my own and then heard a commercial on Fuse, or maybe MTV. The guy doing the commercial ( I think it was Devin Townsend ) was announcing that Ozzy would be hosting a certain music awards ceremony and went on to say, " and now, I present you ( switches to scream ) THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS ". I repeated it, immediately and it just clicked. It blew my mind at how much easier it was than I'd been thinking.

Great to see Matt getting more and more recognition! He bursts his ass unlike many lazy musicians and he fully deserves it!

Thank you Matt very cool

I nearly came when I got the chance to see in flames play year. Been listening to them since my cousin showed me clayman back when it came out in 2000/2001 ish. One of the best concerts I've been to, with breaking Benjamin and chevelle (when wonder whats next released) taking the cake. Chevelle is one of my absolute favorite bands, a d was really my introduction to much lower-tuned songs. The early 2000s really opened my world musically, considering most of the music I listened to previously had been either classical or classic rock (Beatles, Elvis, moody blues etc.)

That's mad, I started with imitating David Draiman from disturbed. More of a rocknroll, vocal distortion like Axl Rose and Brian Johnson. After about a month I started to realise how I was doing it wrong, projecting from my throat and not my gut. Really started trying when Slipknots WANYK came out, and tried the lower tones on various Meshuggah albums. Started messing around with Suicide Silence's recent album. Can confidently say I can scream well now, after about a year of being self taught and a couple more years being taught how to sing.

Thank you my friend😊🤘❤

So I had issues with my vocals as a kid. I was self-taught and took huge influence from Trivium, however after a session in studio I blew my voice out and then I continued to practice, never warmed up, did shows and then went back to studio and blew my voice out horrendously. I only learned last year, 10 years after damaging myself, that I have perfect vocal folds and no damage present - it turns out I have another issue entirely. Now I use my voice for my work and although I want nothing more than to learn how to do metal vocals again it's a massive risk to my health and work. My point is that what Matt says here about studio vs "safe" vocals should be taken with a pinch of salt for those learning how to do vocals. Do not ever seek to blow your voice out or push yourself too far for the sake of it - don't take the risks that others do when you do not share their biology. After 10 years of issues, I can safely say that although I was very good for my age at the time, taking stupid risks and missing out on the educational aspects of modern metal vocals has been to my detriment.

Yes, excellent. 🤘🏻

What’s crazy is Matt’s story’s is almost exactly like mine band wise. I actually started doing death metal vocals first, covering cannibal corpse, deicide, death and a few others. I shifted over to the more traditional metal vocals at the age of 17. Big influences were Slipknot, trivium, killswitch engage and fear factory. I wanted to be Corey and Burton so damn bad lol. But drugs got ahold of me at a young age and I quit music at 18. Still got it in me though!

I used to have a fierce scream with a lot of range until I blew out my vocal chords (days before a show no less). Days later I got sick and had to make a trip to the hospital. Ever since I get this lump in my throat once in a while that no amount of throat clearing will dislodge. I've had a scope, meds, lessons and tried everything to get rid of it but to no avail. Even one of the American Idol coaches couldn't help. I can still scream but only for a few minutes if I'm lucky but then I start to choke a little or get like hiccups that make me feel like barfing. It sucks because screaming used to and still is one of my favorite things. It just feels so f****** good, (when it works). Oh well, Matt you are a f****** GOD!!
