this is so oddly futuristic. it seems unfathomable that it's over 40 years old. decades ahead of its time.

I see wikipedia tagged them outsider music (obscuro). Feel bad for them, guys, isn't that a term for artists that suck so hard they need their own genre?

naa, it just means their sound is too unique to classify. what would you call them?
I'd have to go with experimental, as vague as that is.

But they don't predate Caledonia (1969).

They're almost black metal in their sound. They'd probably be comfortable in the Nordland with Swedish black metal, if you ask me. But I am just starting to get into this kind of metal, so I am no expert...

I'm sure there was some pretentious artfart who utilized screaming as the primary vocal element of a song at least as early as the 1900s. Obviously you also have blues- someone mentioned Little Richard, also could throw in Howlin Wolf; Early Heavy Metal (which was basically louder Blues) in the lates 60s/early 70s to today. But, since this is the Hardcore section I'm gonna assume the first Hardcore screamer is what you meant.

They're not even a hardcore band really but The Screamers started in 75 and this one (recorded in 78 I think) is probably their best known song:



Then there's the obvious, Rites of Spring who started in 84:



And, while they're not screaming throughout the song there's The Sonics who recorded this in 58:



Supposedly they were a lot more "screamy" live but their mixer guy wasn't haven't it while in the studio.

Edit: This thread is from 2008?!
