Artistry

Told's vocal style incorporates both melodic singing and screaming, usually alternating between the two throughout a track. The first time he was exposed to harsh vocals was through the song "Angel of Death" by thrash metal band Slayer. His first experience with screaming was in a contest held at Warped Tour. To avoid irritating his housemates, Told said he would travel to remote areas to practice screaming in his car. He stated that this habit attracted police attention on several occasions, though these encounters reportedly passed without further incident. [4]

Personal life

Told enjoys hockey and pinball as hobbies. [5]
