I'm at the point now where what subgenre they are is irrelevant. But to answer your question: no, Refused aren't screamo. They were originally known as a more straightforward hardcore band...
...but their most famous album, The Shape Of Punk To Come, also their last, saw them flirting with lots of other influences, especially electronic music, and as such, it's hard to pin down under one genre. I've seen it called everything from post-hardcore to art punk to alternative metal. It's predominantly a hardcore punk album though, as shown in songs like these ones...
The screaming vocals don't really have much to do with genre... most hardcore bands use some form screaming anyways.
Edit: Sorry, I just realized that I kinda wrote that like you don't know anything about Refused haha.
