8/13/2019 Influences Daniel Singer

1/1

Daniel J. Valera, singer:

The three albums that are a big influence to me at this moment, when it comes to singing, and

writing a song, are: The Flood by a band named Of Mice & Men, The Fallout by a band named

Crown The Empire, and What eparates Me From !ou "y a band named # $ay To %emember

These three albums help me, and inspire me to write my own songs ' feel identified with these

three albums and bands, and the message behind their music and lyrics The way ' sing, and the way

these three different artists sing, is (ery similar, because ' loo) up to them, hoping to be li)e them inthe future

Band:# $ay To%emember

Album: What eparates

Me From !ou

Year: *++

Style: Metalcore

My reflexion:

This has been a big surprise because '-(e seen a lo of clear (oices that

reminds me a lot of 'oseba $aniel is the screamer and he ne(er ma)es

clear (oices so ' was surprised when ' found that this album was one of

his influences ' can imagine that in the future the contrast between the

screams of $aniel and the clear (oice of 'oseba might become more

common in our songs

#part from the singer, the music is Metalcore at its best 't-s not my

fa(orite style .this is the first time ' actually listen Metalcore/, but our

music is, at least, 0+1 Metalcore so is important for me to start to listen

this )ind of bands, ' can learn a lot from them

Band:Crown The Empire

Album: The Fallout

Year: *+*

Style: Metalcore

My thoughts:

More pure Metalcore that brings again the contrast between clear (oices

and screams #s ' said in the other albums, this is not a musical style

that ' specially en2oy listening, it-s funnier to play than it is to listenThe album is pretty con(entional, (ery modern and american $aniel

really lo(es this )ind of music and ' thin) he brings the best of it and, in

the band, we mi3 with the other influences to ma)e our own style

Band: Of Mice & Men

Album: The FloodYear: 2!!

Style: Metalcore

This is the album that ' li)ed the most from $aniel-s influences E(en if

it-s still con(entional Metalcore ' thin) it sounded better than the other

two albums ' was surprised again for the (oices, $aniel usually

screams in a lower (oice than the ones in 4The flood"# and ' prefer his

style The music is nice to hear but nothing really special or spectacular

in any of the instruments The bass is in the line of the other two

albums, hidden behind the guitars and acting as a sound filler

#fter listening to this three albums ' can understand why this style is

becoming so famous 't has a lot of energy and connects with the youth't has been a great disco(ery to )now Metalcore better, ' will )eep this

albums and listen to them from time to time
