Watch: Behind the screams with Ricky Hoover

Ov Sulfur is about to drop a heater of a record on March 24 via Century Media Records called "The Burden Ov Faith". It's filled with all the heaviness that you've loved from day one when former Suffokate vocalist Ricky Hoover stomped back into metal but also features vulnerability and intensity through genre blending both in songwriting and the vocals.

Ricky is a familiar face across our socials having worked with David since prior to releasing the project on the world but typically in the form of delivering gutturals. Check out a little bit of a different piece of content as Ricky talks about "The Burden Ov Faith" and the choices he made vocally for their debut album:

...now we have the most diverse sounding album and music that I think any of us have ever been a part of.

Ov Sulfur is about to embark on another stacked USA deathcore tour in support of Chelsea Grin and Carnifex with Left To Suffer. "The Burden Ov Faith" comes out in a week and you can preorder it here.

Watch: Behind the screams with Ingested's Jason Evans

Dynamics are the name of the game with Ingested's Metal Blade Records debut album "Ashes Lie Still". Make no mistake, the heaviness that Ingested has always delivered is still present but the entire record has risen above its predecessors when it comes to technical skill, groove, songwriting, and raw emotion.

Extreme Vocal Institute's David Benites sat down with Ingested's frontman Jason Evans to talk about the record and how Jason pushed himself as a vocalist. Jason and David worked together remotely during the height of the pandemic before Ingested entered the studio to track "Ashes Lie Still". Watch Jason talk about the journey here:

Be the first you.

David is one of the best extreme vocalists in the world but more than that he is also someone to knows exactly how to clearly teach extreme vocals to others.

Check out our conversation about how he got through 2020, his 1st beers, the soundtrack of his youth, discovering his voice, becoming a vocal coach, the modern extreme vocal coaching scene, Renesans, an Extreme Vocal Institute Brew & his hangover cure.

Throughout this conversation, David was drinking Peabody Heights Brewery, LLC ‘s "Unforgivable Curses" the 9% Triple while I enjoyed Microbrasserie Jackalhop. ‘s "Session NEIPA". This 3.7% Session NEIPA was hopped with Cryo Ekuanot, Hull Mellon & Cashmere Hops. It poured out with a glorious hazy veil, slapped juicy pineapples on the nose & ripped an enjoyably green light citrus finish.

Massive cheers to Kevin from La Canetti Villeray for joining David & I for a mini extreme vocal lesson. You rule!

Here's what David had to say about the conversation:

I had such a great time doing this with my new friend Matt McGachy Cryptopsy, one of the best hosts and conversationalists with extreme vocals to match! Thanks for having me!
