I’m going to start with a song that accidentally exposed me to Screamo. I remember the moments, since my friend was laughing like crazy at me for making a face that said, “Who allowed this stuff to be so good?” To be honest, the first few seconds lied to me and make me believe it Amon Amarth’s Death in Fire. However, this was not a tune about Vikin...
There are two reasons I’m putting this song on this list. One, the lyrics are not the “world sucks and I’m sad” kind of stuff, but the reminder to the young listeners they have the power to change things. And two, you can really hear Pantera’s influence on the band. The song predates David Hoggs and Greta Thunberds of today, but it shares that ener...
At first, I wanted to add To Plant the Seed to this list instead, but changed my mind and gave this song a chance at the last minute. That’s an awesome development because this song is about second chances an opportunities as well. This song is probably the best example of how scream and clean vocals can work together. Sometimes, they sound forced ...
Warning, make sure your headphones or speakers are not on max volume when you play this song. If you were looking for yet another way to condemn the US pharmaceutical industry, do it with the song. It points out how everyone was quick to medicate everything. I love how it’s paired with a bright and sunny video, very similar to the style of pharmace...
Can a best Screamo songs list happen without Atreyu? Honestly, I could have put any of the songs or make this a one-band list alone. Atreyu took something that was happening in Sweden, Finland, and Germany around the same time, then combined it with the already rising Screamo trends. They may not have invented the genre, but they perfected it. And ...
Another song where you have to check the volume before you press play. This was one of the most overanalyzed songs I’ve encountered. I’ve seen every interpretation of the lyrics: from teenage rebellion to the ultimate rebellion against God and the church. Honestly, it’s yet another song about failing relationships. Something you’ll see more than on...
Do you have a friend who wasn’t very true? Maybe you can use this track to tell them you saw through them finally. We’ve heard many songs about bad friends, but we rarely get to hear their betrayal be compared to hearts beating strong under fictitious skies. You can say whatever you want about these emo kids, but they really have a way with words s...
As Screamo love and breakup songs go, this is one of the better ones. It doesn’t appear manicured or over produced. The lack of the traditional clean vocal makes it sound more genuine and the feelings appear authentic. There’s also a string Tool influence you can hear, but I must appreciate that it stops there and the band doesn’t take it further t...
A Screamo song beginning with a “can I scream” line? Yes, please. Refused’s music is downright minimalistic for the genre, but this song proves why Scandi minimalism will always be the bomb. This Swedish band has been around for 30 years now and is still going strong. I could have picked any of their songs at random and still ended up with a winner...
Now we come to the obvious moment that explains the anime hair. If you’re into all those high octane intros, you will also be into Red Jumsuit Apparatus. This is an anti-Church song. Doesn’t seem to be anti-religion, but definitely like to call out certain elements of religious worship. Both through the title and lyrics, they call out the hypocrisy...
This is a list of bands that have played screamo at some point in their careers. Screamo is a music genre which predominantly evolved from emo, among other genres, in the early 1990s.
- Silverstein. Silverstein is a Canadian rock band that derives its name from the famous children’s author Shel Silverstein. Their debut album When Broken Is Easily Fixed was a startling blend of emo’s serious determination, hardcore components, and the strongest of heavy metal music.
- Asking Alexandria. Asking Alexandria is a British rock band that was formed in 2006. To date, they have released seven albums, three extended plays, along with more than thirty singles.
- Attack Attack! The debut studio album of American metalcore band Attack Attack! , titled Someday Came Suddenly, was released in 2008. Many of the album’s lyrics are strongly Christian, while the use of guitars is a powerful addition to the screaming vocals.
- The Used. Vulnerable includes a similar blend of hard rock and emotional pop as the band’s previous albums, but it differs musically in that it makes extensive use of electronic beats and effects.
