the haarp machine - the escapist notion - Dustin Miller Vocal Audition

[broomybroomybroomy]

This is definitely the best audition. They should have picked you.

[SuperThunderdrum]

good job bro. too many vocalists forget that some parts of songs the music should be enjoyed. you got a good balance man. hope you get it.

[AJConrady]

Hope this dude makes it. Best vocal audition by far.

[MyInsidesHurt]

pretty fucking sick, you mesh really well with their sound

[Osous6stringbass]

sounds alot like jesse leeche for killswitch engauge, alive or just breathing album, very good, hope you get if for sure

[Osous6stringbass]

this guy should get it, lol

[Maldito1085]

Dude! I love your screams... Kinda sounds like Chad Gray from Mudvayne.. Good work!

[killagingatk]

I still have to say this is my fav audition for this song

[WorldAmongstRuin]

@killagingatk thanks, make sure and checkout my other vocal video that I just made!

[Yariloslav]

Отличная работа. Есть ошибки но думаю со временем они будут устранены. Удачи!

[Aamonath]

That was actually really good. With what you were saying at the start, I was expecting it to just be okay, but I was thoroughly impressed!

Any tips for someone working on developing some skill with death metal/extreme metal vocals? I'd gotten decently good a couple years ago, but after not practicing for a long time, I suck again.

[fLKommotioN]

nice, your screams are sick. clean vocals are a little off, but who gives a shit? too bad you didn't get it man, look forward to seeing whatever you might do in the future.

[fLKommotioN]

@fLKommotioN I guess "hearing" might be more accurate, but hey.

[WorldAmongstRuin]

@fLKommotioN checkout my soundcloud and listen to Retina-Itanimulli. Thats what I'm doing for the time being.

[teamkiller99]

Hey dude, who ended up getting the position?

[MrSuckit666]

Aww wack!!! Fuck it ill still post it! Ill post up some more vids too you might enjoy. Stay up man!!!

[rufiothebandito]

Best audition by far, sound a bit like Derek from the Faceless actually, cleans were pretty good too

[WorldAmongstRuin]

@rufiothebandito I auditioned for them in 2007 as well. Funny thing but that audition changed my life because I met Navene while he was touring with them and ended up touring with AAL, mastering fleshwrought, AAL, and co-mixing and mastering TRAM as a result of it indirectly, granted the talent was still required. People have to realize that doing a good audition and getting second place or even honorable mention can be just as good as getting the part. This is proof.

[rufiothebandito]

@WorldAmongstRuin That's awesome, very impressive resume too. Tosin seems to be one of the best, most connected people right now in metal. I guess that's the power of youtube, I know Misha sure got a good head start on here/soundcloud before Periphery even put out their first full length, or got all their members for that matter.

[MrSuckit666]

Good job man, but I'm commin after this spot, trust man I love this band too.. ill post up my vid within the next day or so ;) again good shit man. Names Moses Arroyo by the way.

[WorldAmongstRuin]

@MrSuckit666 Thanks Moses Arroyo hope you should of got it, now let me burst your bubble. The vocalist has already been selected. You cannot win. Good luck though.... :D

[JonathanAmaralMusic]

@WorldAmongstRuin No way? Good stuff, I started losing hope in them cause it's been so long and not a single word from the band themselves. But that's an awesome bit of news to hear :D thank you so much! And awesome audition btw!

[torturesofthedamned]

sounds good man

[Sumerian314]

Hope you get the spot. Really well-rounded and great style.

[jerbrerizz94]

So. Fucking. Good. Man I hope they pick you.

[jacksonguitarsrule1]

Amazing job!

[FelixLestrange]

That was damn IMPRESSIVE. They better choose you!!!

[8xXOctavariumXx8]

Please be chosen. XD

[Infor12]

you sound kinda like Thomas Giles from BTAM !!! wich is nice :D

[ElRoperto]

This is the way this song was meant to be done, I don't want to hear any other versions of this. Well done!

[zac91earthlink]

holy shit your voice is awesome!

[KadajMetal]

You rock ! You've a got a proffessional level

[KadajMetal]

You rock ! You've a got a proffessional level

[DominicSXE]

dude this is amazing

[ClayAunkst]

you killed it man great job

[CrossfireTutorials95]

fucking fucking fucking fucking awesome!

[Jeriblow]

The Haarp Machine are fucking insane, so they want singing? I think they would be even better without any type of singing.

[bonobomaggot]

almost perfect!

[DoubleEdgedSword12]

Dude you killed it, good luck with that shit.

[thespoon]

I loved it, but i think you strained yourself a little with those clean parts. Your screams are quite good though.

[volcomfr3ak]

so awesome. even more intense with the snowflake feature haha

[SHINJIxCORE]

wow! this and the Doug Ryan's one, are the best ones. period.

I can't chose one between you two, so...

I hope you get chosen, man! =)

[Toadoe7]

This honestly like, brought a smile to my face. You don't find this good of vocalists often. If they don't choose this guy, my life will be over.

[kisgerocs]

your awesome, end of story:)

huge cheers!

[mrchucknorris]

nice take, guy! This was a great fit. I hope you make it!

[XAustopsyX]

Dude, powerful cover , man! I love this alot better than whatever the vocals are now. Great job man!

[JRPisaMaggot]

Dude, that was fucking amazing. Was really digging the vox, a lot more than there original vocalist. Great, great, great audition. Keep it up man!

[Calquin123321]

lol This was awsome!! Im not a vocalist neither i have singing knowledge xd but i think you should won :O and if it not I thin you have a nice future :S

[dickeybrian9]

who won the singing audit

[WorldAmongstRuin]

@dickeybrian9 I really have no clue yet. I had an hour long skype conversation about life with Al Mumin and we didnt once talk about it. My thoughts are that whoever it is will be a very gifted singer not to be confused with any form of pseudo singing. Two of them openly admitted being thoroughly impressed with my audition but I think they are still waiting on someone to think outside the box so if you(people reading this) can sing I highly recommend you submit an audition.

[websterx9]

@WorldAmongstRuin about life? is he a Muslim :D? oh and does he skype anyone?

[ABRFORLIFE]

YOU ARE THE MAN !

[Stunprefo]

Listening to the song... I enjoy your vocals A LOT more than theirs. There's power in your voice. Its a shame

[robwinchell]

sick bro. huge props.

[CtrlAItFU]

You make me happy :)

[WorldAmongstRuin]

@CtrlAItFU no, you make me happy :D thanks

[Steveharrisable]

@CtrlAItFU I was going to write that same comment xD

[lennonlegend0909]

best job by this guy, so good

[Chicnstu801]

Awesome job. The guitars are usually what pull me in when checking out a new band, but I have to say your vocals alone would have hooked me. Love the holds at 1:29 and 1:55.

[guschamber]

Dude i think ya did the song justice, infact in my opinion you'd make a perfect for any metal band..mad props brah, i subbed

[Universalost]

I rarely watch vocal covers, so I'm not sure how I ended up here, but this is really, really brilliant. I also rarely comment, so take this for what it is. Very impressed.

[juakinf]

great job

[Darthsk8r99]

Will say that I can't believe you didn't win. Your vocals are powerful as shit..but when you get a chance check mine out. Just did it today.

[WorldAmongstRuin]

@Darthsk8r99 I was never really bummed because if they pick the right vocalist it will be a win for us all. As popular as this video is I'm sure it influenced many to try and that makes it worth it. The band is trying spread a very important and powerful message that I happen to believe in alot. Hopefully everyone else is also paying attention to that part, because I believe this band is trying to create something very unique and special. I fully support it regardless! :D

[Darthsk8r99]

@WorldAmongstRuin Well said sir.

[Soulreaper066]

@WorldAmongstRuin I wish you were my vocalist lol... Check out my material.

[WorldAmongstRuin]

@Soulreaper066 Well thank you! Feel free to add me on facebook and we can discuss the possibilities.

[EdduardoTrevizo]

Youve got the tittle ;)

[WithFullDistortion]

i lIKED IT A Fucking Lot

[7Lachapelle]

awesome !!

[KentColeslaw1984]

Sick dude. I hope to hear you on the album!!!!!!!!

[WorldAmongstRuin]

@KentColeslaw1984 hey thanks unfortunately I was informed that I was not selected so you'll just have to enjoy this video for what it is. Make sure and check back though or visit my soundcloud for updates as I have other projects I'm involved with.

[KentColeslaw1984]

@WorldAmongstRuin That's too bad man! But good luck in whatever you do next. I know plenty of local bands here in SLC that could use a vocalist as good as you. And I will definitely check out your Soundcloud page. Keep rocking man!!

[WorldAmongstRuin]

@KentColeslaw1984 thanks bro I appreciate that! I'm pretty interested to see who they pick now as well. There's been alot of auditions and if I had to guess there is probably alot more than whats on youtube for that matter. Anyhow the link to my soundcloud is above in the info section. Hope you all check it out, and thanks again!

[Kmac2021]

Any chance we could get a vocal instructional video? Your screams are flawless

[WorldAmongstRuin]

@Kmac2021 Thanks man, and yes there is. However, I got something better than an instruction video cookin up. :D

[xzachxedge]

2:34 is the best part of this song. Husssssssssss

[TheResidualEffect]

What mic are you using here?

[WorldAmongstRuin]

@TheResidualEffect shure sm7b

[TheResidualEffect]

@WorldAmongstRuin Nice! Good stuff bro, out of all of the auditions I feel like yours is the best!

[94LG]

where can i get the instrumental verision of this song? i want to cover it!

[Alejandrawr]

Dude.....you're fucking good.

[iDjentable]

Dustin, you just raped my ears. Smoke soon ! drew

[Danucis]

''thank you I'm Dustin Miller, and a gemini''

nicely done indeed. best haarp audition I've seen so far.

[MonumentOfMisanthrop]

[theBddha]

Did you undersell yourself on purpose? Lol Well done mister (:

[ThatBrownFella]

This is actually pretty fucking incredible!! You're easily the top runner, well done!!

[ILikeToColourRed]

niice

[KaSSouism]

Man!!!!! this is fucking awesome!!!!!

[whispersihearyour]

wow, you are vicious. sick dude!

[theScienceOfFear2012]

fuck yes ,fuck yes, fuck yes , !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! feels like my ears were just fucked and I LOVED IT! good luck on becomming vocalist.

[TheRayven760]

He's pretty good, not gonna lie. I've got some competition.

[WorldAmongstRuin]

@TheRayven760 I enjoyed yours as well!

[anandflora]

excelente mi amigo!!!

[JensTwn]

You are the right choice for the Haarp Machine

[drawnacrol]

Sounds awesome dude, good luck

[JensTwn]

Your voice fits the music very well,

[VCRMANLOL]

HOLY SANTA CLAUS SHIT! THAT WAS FUCKING AMAZING BATMAN!

[BornOfTheCypher]

Great Job! hope you get picked!

[N1k0zj]

Holy shit... Your screams are fucking amazing man, definitely the best try out yet. Great job!

[DakotaM14]

This is probably one of THE best one's I've seen.

Super jelly.

[DerMeister666]

i could have sworn i had pants on before this video......

[WorldAmongstRuin]

@DerMeister666 I can't thank everyone enough for all the compliments but this one I found the most flattering.

[zool4nder1]

yeaaaahh!! fu**ing sick man! was hoping you would kill the clean vocals, gj!

[highfive319]

your voice, the hair farmers hair....and the gingers good looks = best shit ever

[theoncegreatsean]

dude fuck yess ,

[jerbrerizz94]

You have my vote!!!!! Holy shit youre good man

[Speargat]

Bravo man.  I hope you get in

[COBfan43]

Dude, you are great! Just a little work on those cleans and you'd be a completely ideal vocalist for any metal band. Just wondering though, are you more comfortable screaming mid-low range cause your highs sound great (and I think work better with the song) and I don't think you hear much mid-high screams these days?

[Skeluz]

Ok, I think we need one of these comments:

Thumbs up if Sumerian Records sent you.

[Hakir51]

AWSOME STUFF MAN!!!

found it after Sumerian Records like this lol, hope this is a good sign for you

Goodluck bro, cheers from Israel. :)

[kernspalter]

Dude, you're amazing! Good luck gettin in the band, you deserve it!

[DaniBrutalDeathcore]

SumerianRecords liked this!! and very fucking great cover man! cheers from mexico and good luck!!!

[mithmasta2]

i think the 1 dislike was the ex vocalist

[WorldAmongstRuin]

@mithmasta2 hahah you're hilarious! I shot water out my nose while reading this.

[mithmasta2]

@WorldAmongstRuin hahaha, best reaction i could have hoped for. XD

[xxxmartin666]

Sumerian Records liked this, congrats man! Even though they're not that polished, the clean vocals were some of the only clean vocals I've heard recently that I've enjoyed, props!

[WorldAmongstRuin]

@xxxmartin666 what do you mean Sumerian Records liked this? did they post something about it?

[xxxmartin666]

@WorldAmongstRuin I found this video because they had pressed the like button, showing every one of their subscribers that they approve! ahah

[xSurfRyderx]

@WorldAmongstRuin The youtube channel of Sumerian Records liked this. That's how i discovered this video. btw you're really great. i hope they take you. you just gotta practice the cleans a little bit, then you are the perfect death metal vocalist.(sorry for my bad English).

[mithmasta2]

@WorldAmongstRuin yeah the only way i saw this audition is because sumerian records "liked" this video

[Number7sevens]

@WorldAmongstRuin 

[emann43]

i....this is...omg so sick. I hope you get in.

[halesma2]

Sounds awesome, good performance too, i could see you being a really energetic frontman.

[VOIDrock]

GODDAMN MAN THAT WAS FUCKED UP. In an awesome way of course. Very well done although it seems you were having some breathing problems during the tightly knit vocal parts. I'd recommend some lung strength training so you don't wear yourself out after 2 songs.

[WorldAmongstRuin]

@VOIDrock In my defense I'd like to point out that I have some kind of respiratory infection atm. Although the falling out of key is an amateur mistake because like I said I don't have any singing training what so ever. On the other hand I am a recording engineer, and have been doing vocals for over 10 years. I don't care if Im the biggest baddest most versatile. My focus is clarity, precision, and energy. It also matters to me what I'm singing about. The message was the reason I jumped at this.

[VOIDrock]

@WorldAmongstRuin Sick and still sounded that awesome? I'm impressed man. Truly. Wasn't knocking on you in the first post. Just trying to give some helpful advice from one vocalist to another. :)

[VOIDrock]

@WorldAmongstRuin Hey man! Any word from the band or Sumerian that sounds promising?? Gotta know, bro!!

[WorldAmongstRuin]

@VOIDrock negative, I'm not sure what to think at this point...

[VOIDrock]

@WorldAmongstRuin Well regardless of the outcome you could definitely score with some bands with this vid. Hell you could tell them you were sick and see their heads explode! xD Potential!

[kperez1227]

That was sofa king sick! U have amazing vocals man. Just work on ur rests and cleans and u'll be incredible, but I seriously think ur awesome already. I don't mind no cleans, as long as the screams and growls are comprehensible, which ur's are bro. Good luck and I really hope u win. If u do, the haarp machine will be my new fav band.

[WorldAmongstRuin]

@kperez1227 thank you, I really appreciate that! ;)

[halfdarkshadow]

I hope you sent this video on there email!!

shit man i think you have it:)

[myguitar856]

yea man your vocals are sick and if there sick from like no practice either thel get soo much better. They need you.

[HardcoreVodkaGuy]

Holy shit bro, amazing vocals. Good luck!

[SuperStov]

my pores raised . PICK THIS GUY HAARP!!!

[howycwap]

if you dont make it in. you have to join a band worth joining (similar talent to haarp) because you deserve a good band.

[killagingatk]

that was pretty fuckin legit hope u get in bro

[theflaw2003]

good job dude, what vocal mic are you using?

[WorldAmongstRuin]

@theflaw2003 thanks, sm7b.

[MetalMannyG18]

I hope you get in bro! sounds sick!!

[cutepoison98]

growls are REALLY good my friend. but unfortunately not the cleans. but dont worry/ with enough practise you'll be able to get it.

[KKMM00]

You fucked up on the cleans a little, perhaps a little out of your range, try an octave lower, however your growls are prefect for haarp machine! Good Luck!

[blankbrian]

you are perfect for the haarp machine. if you don't get in then they are stuck up fags

[AnataNile]

I want this guy to be the new vocalist! He's heavier which is awesome but he's not like really brutal, which wouldn't suit The HAARP Machine inmo so I think he'll fit in perfect. Just my opinion. Fingers crossed man.

[thismika18]

Shit man! nice job and good luck

[TheCasualty]

That's pretty awesome for being "amateur!"

[yarnboy]

Sick dude!

[connoregan1469]

Your voice has a presence man, so beastly.

[TubeFudge]

Da sex.

[GlxyDs]

Great work man, hope it works out for you.

[WorldAmongstRuin]

thanks guys, I'm gonna try another song when I get time.

[WillXS01]

That was fucking sick.

[empasmmetal]

So good. I really hope you make it. Good luck man!

[Whitemexican]

that was gnar man, keep it up!
