LORNA SHORE vocalist Will Ramos has announced a series of vocal masterclass dates across Europe, to be held on off-days during the band's ongoing European tour. The clinics will cover extreme vocal techniques including gutturals, fry screams, and tunnel throat, as well as vocal health and warm-up routines that have allowed Ramos to maintain his punishing delivery night after night without significant wear on his instrument. Registration opened today through the band's official website, with limited spots available at each location.
Ramos has become one of extreme metal's most discussed and analyzed vocalists thanks to his seemingly inhuman range and technique. His performances on LORNA SHORE's breakout records "Pain Remains" and "Immortal" showcased a vocal palette that spans from abyssal lows to piercing highs, often within the same phrase, earning him widespread recognition beyond the deathcore community. Viral clips of his live performances have amassed hundreds of millions of views across social media platforms, bringing unprecedented mainstream attention to extreme vocal techniques.
The masterclasses represent a growing trend among extreme metal vocalists who are increasingly open about sharing their knowledge and demystifying techniques that were once closely guarded secrets passed down informally within local scenes. Ramos has been particularly vocal about the importance of proper technique and vocal health, frequently cautioning aspiring extreme vocalists against attempting harsh vocals without understanding the mechanics involved. "People destroy their voices trying to imitate what they hear on records," Ramos has said in previous interviews. "I want to show them there's a safe way to do this."
Each clinic will run approximately three hours and include both group instruction and individual assessment. Topics will range from foundational breathing techniques to advanced concepts like vocal distortion layering and microphone technique for extreme vocals. Attendees will also receive personalized feedback on their technique. The European masterclass dates coincide with LORNA SHORE's tour stops in Germany, France, the Netherlands, and the UK.
