Show notes
This week we’re joined by Jacob Mathes, co-vocalist / writer for Orphan, for an in-depth conversation on deathcore vocals, emotion and authenticity in heavy music, and the creative process behind Porcelain and Manifesto 1.0: Stages Of Grief. We talk writing with his brother, mindset while recording, mental health, visual identity and graphic design, what’s next for Orphan & so much more.JACOB MATHES: https://www.instagram.com/jondoe_87/ORPHAN: https://www.instagram.com/orphanband/JON DOE GRAPHICS: https://www.instagram.com/jondoe_graphics/Thank you to IndieMerchstore for sponsoring the show: https://www.indiemerchstore.comUse code BRUTALITY for 10% offBRUTALITY PODCAST MERCH: https://www.indiemerchstore.com/collections/brutality-podcastTo support the podcast and gain early access to episodes, members-only Discord channels, stream archives & more: https://www.patreon.com/brutalitypodcastAll BRUTALITY PODCAST links(Discord, Youtube, etc): https://linktr.ee/brutalitypodcastChapters:[00:00:00] Teaser / Intro[00:01:28] Yan crashes out again[00:05:15] Despised Icon / Beneath The Massacre[00:09:20] King Conquer[00:10:25] Best deathcore vocalists[00:16:31] The state of deathcore vocals[00:23:35] Emotion in deathcore vocals[00:33:16] Authenticity in deathcore[00:40:23] Ambiant music & bluegrass[00:42:10] Can AI music make you feel?[00:46:32] IndieMerchstore[00:47:41] Mindset while recording[00:53:59] Porcelain VS Manifesto 1.0: Stages Of Grief[00:59:17] Writing with his brother[01:02:34] Approach to making & releasing music[01:12:06] The impact of Orphan[01:15:57] Processing negative emotions & mental health[01:30:05] Without A Face[01:38:41] Graphic design[01:40:40] Orphan's visual identity[01:47:34] Buster Odeholm[02:04:10] Flesh
