wtf? Why doesn't he scream like that for the Fall of Troy?

I've known about The Hills Have Eyes for awhile now, but never checked them out. Probably because I'm an idiot. Good ****.

Yeah they broke up though and I think they only made those 3 songs.

ctts' vox exude as much emotion as saetia's while maintaining decipherability. what's the use in having great lyrics--as screamo does--without being able to hear them? i personally don't want to dig out an album booklet to follow along.

I think the point of putting great lyrics on a screamo album is that it's medium of release. It obviously doesn't mean much when it comes to the music but I guess for someone who likes to write why not do it well and put it out there. It also makes for a nice read of the inserts.

I concur with swim.
It also helps if you have the ability to decipher them.

i definitely think their power comes from their intensity, but i think it would be a shame if ctts vox were incoherent like saetia's (screamed) are.

It's a medium of expression, man!
If Saetia's sounded clean, it really wouldn't be the same.
Besides, a lot of Saetia's lyrics are decipherable without a book, they're just high-pitched.

^Agreed.

well, the dude from Hassan I Sabbah sounded french on first listen, then i found out their singer was american. he's still powerful as **** though, sometimes, it's like that gift of tongues thing at those Christian meetings, you don't know what the **** they mean, but if one thing's for sure, it's that they mean it.

I just downloaded some Hassan I Sabbah after reading this... listening to it now.

listen to Watching The Eyes Of Someone Lying, he really sounds french there

That is the truest and funniest thing i've heard in awhile.

well, coming from a guy who plays in a band that doesn't write lyrics, it comes naturally. lawlz

So far most of this thread has been about screamo screamers, but I think a lot of hardcore bands have good screams, too. They usually aren't as raw or emotional as screamo screams, but they still can be pretty good. Some of my favorites:

Between the Buried and Me- great clean vox also
The Bled
Old Misery Signals screamer

I'm listening to them right now, I'm sorry, but Tommy is not a good screamer.
I'd go Neaera or Killswitch Engage as far as vox over BTBAM.

By the way, if I didn't say Dallas Taylor, Dallas Taylor.

I'm liking Funeral Diner's vocals a lot lately.

sig

awesomeness. XD

anyway, jake from converge sounds awesome

Ion Dissonance's old singer pwns 80% of metalcore

I still go with Hiretsukan and The Hope and The Failure for my money.

the assistant too.

Have you heard the new stuff yet? I'm scared to try it.

Word.

Are you talking the Doors Open EP, because if so, it's sweet.

Nope. All I have is The Underdark.

In the past week been listening to a lot of I Have Dreams, Dear Diary I Seem to Be Dead, and Hassan I Sabbah. Liking the I Have Dreams a lot.

I Have Dreams is so sweet it's sad.

jake your avatar is awesome. too bad flash and batman are the only cool DC heroes.

Ughh, no!
Catwoman, SUPERMAN, Robin, AQUAMAN, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman...
COME ON MAN!

Aquaman?

Come on.

...

Seriously.

I lol'd.

+ Watchmen, or should I say the best comic book series ever.

Were you trying to spell Justice League..or Batman....?

I think Skramzman would be a pretty cool superhero.

I don't like the word Skramz.
Skramzman as a whole though, would be a pretty cool concept.
What band t-shirt do you think he'd wear?

That is a good question. Speaking of which, do you know where I could get band shirts from Saetia and Envy? And others maybe. For Saetia, I'm thinking that there won't be any really accessible, but I have some hope for Envy.

as much as i hate the word skramz, it's better to use it when talking to closed minded people who are oh-so-emo. it works in this country regardless of how dumb all these labels are. it's all just hardcore anyway.

oh yeah, i pitched an idea to my friend a while back about a super hero named Screamo Man (thanks to ethan in that other thread) with sidekicks like Skramboy and Emo Kid. then Emo kid goes to the mall one day and turns into an emozombie and hatches an evil plan against Screamo Man and Skramboy.

lawlzzz

Envy shirts you can probably find online pretty easily. Saetia shirts would be harder I'd assume.

Make your own. I can post some stuff on screen printing if anyone wants it.

Hell no, it's like trying to find a Converge shirt, or, with better imagery, a MCR shirt.

If you're trying to find screamo shirts, I suggest finding l33t bands that no one knows about, like... I Wrote Haikus Aboutetc.
Just because I would only buy a band shirt if I went to a show.

@swim: I've been thinking of silkscreening my own shirts, but just with my designs, instead of bands. Also I don't have the equipment.

@cult: I figure skramz would be better to use if you're talking about real screamo and not Underoath or Saosin or whatever people would want to label screamo, because hopefully they'll know what you're talking about. I don't use it specifically as a genre term, though. Like when I'm tagging on last.fm, I just use screamo.
