| Screamo Albums I Really Like
I was originally going to do a list called "Screamo Albums I Like" and have
100 albums, and 1 album per band, but around 75 albums it got too difficult
and I had to start adding stuff I didn't really consider screamo. SO I just
decided to do 25 of my absolute favourites, 1 per band, so here it is. I
haven't made a list in like a month so whatever I wanted to do something. | 1 | | Carrion Spring A Short History of Decay
My 2nd favourite screamo album of this decade, A Short History of Decay is unlike
many other recent screamo albums, with a very 90s sound, a very bleak
atmosphere, and vivid imagery. A fantastic album that I doubt the band will ever
top. | 2 | | Usurp Synapse This Endless Breath
Usurp Synapse were a special little band. Though they only were together for a
short time and went through multiple line-up changes, they were one of the best
bands to combine screamo with powerviolence and grindcore, and though this
album is one of their earlier works, it sees them at the top of their game. | 3 | | I Wrote Haikus About Cannibalism... 8 Song Demo
iwrotehaikusabotcannibalisminyouryearbook, though not very well known, went on
to form bands like Punch, Loma Prieta, ...Who Calls So Loud, and Beau Navire. Their
mostly known for their self-titled LP, but this demo contains 6 of the best songs
from that LP, as well as 2 songs that are much better than what they added on to
the LP. This demo is raw, emotive, and powerful. | 4 | | Beau Navire Hours
This band started out playing a style that I like to call "dreamo" before going on to
have the sound they've had for their last two LPs, and this album is where they
execute that sound to it's fullest potential. | 5 | | ...Who Calls So Loud ...Who Calls So Loud
Some fine-ass post-rock screamo. A very moving and beautiful album. | 6 | | Loma Prieta I.V.
My favourite screamo album from this decade. Everything about it is perfect, from
the fuzzy distorted guitars, the pounding drums, and the PISSED FUCKING VOCALS.
I could go on about this record forever but it's just a very passionate and intense
screamo album with no weak moments. | 7 | | Orchid Chaos Is Me
An obvious classic, Jayson Green is probably the greatest lyricist in the genre, and
that matched with the incredible songwriting of Will Killingsworth and...others, this
album is rightfully hailed as one of the best and most influential screamo albums. | 8 | | Jeromes Dream Seeing Means More Than Safety
Probably my favourite album ever. Everything about this album is perfect, it's fiery,
passionate, intense, violent, interesting, and unique. The vocals took a while to
grow on me, but this is seriously the pinnacle of the genre in my opinion. Nothing
has ever been as cathartic. | 9 | | Pg. 99 Document #5
HNNNNNG. Album is fucking PISSED. So good. One of the most hardcore punk
influenced screamo albums and the results are fantastic, through nine volatile songs
of pure rage, it all culminates with the 11 minute closer, and one of the greatest
songs in the genre, By The Fireplace In White. The whole song just builds and
builds towards the climactic ending in an epic fashion, and when it reaches the
climax..FUCK. Such a fucking good song, on such a fucking good album. A definite
classic in the genre. | 10 | | City of Caterpillar City of Caterpillar
One of the best albums to combine screamo and post-rock, and one of the most
influential ones as well. A heartfelt album to say the least. | 11 | | Saetia Saetia
I'm gonna quote Micah on this one, hope he doesn't mind, but he put this album
into words better than I ever could. "Saetia breathed life into a genre that could
have died out just as suddenly as it took its first breath. This is a masterpiece in
every sense of the word." | 12 | | Off Minor The Heat Death of The Universe
One of the most praised screamo albums on this site (for good reason), Heat Death
is a beautiful album that's just as technical as it is emotional. Instrumental
proficiency meets emotion. | 13 | | A Fine Boat, That Coffin! The Second Nail
A crazy ass chaotic screamo album from Germany with jazz influences. A seriously
unique album. | 14 | | Gas Up Yr Hearse!! A Banner Year For The Sum Of Our Losses
Perhaps my favourite screamo band that's formed in the last five years, GUYH!!
have been consistently putting out a brand of chaotic screamo that had almost
died with bands like Combatwoundedveteran and Usurp Synapse. Energetic as FUCK
and unpredictable, this THREE MINUTE album does some really awesome stuff over
the course of five songs. | 15 | | Circle Takes The Square As The Roots Undo
One of the most artistic screamo albums, filled with interesting imagery and one-of-
a-kind songwriting. Might actually be worth the hyperbolic claims it recieves. | 16 | | Coma Regalia En Sperata
Another one of the best screamo albums from this decade, En Sperata has a sweet
90s sound to it, and is just really really good all around. One of the most underrated
albums in the genre. | 17 | | Envy All the Footprints You've Ever Left...
A classic post-rock/screamo album from Japan. Through the 22 years they've been
together they've gone through many styles and released many albums, but this
album is pretty much the pinnacle of everything they've ever done. | 18 | | Lord Snow Solitude
Lord Snow is a fantastic and unique screamo band that's gained a lot of popularity
lately for being incredibly talented musicians, having prominent jazz influence in
their drumming, and having one of the most unique guitar tones I've heard in
screamo. Oh, and their vocalist is female and awesome. | 19 | | The Saddest Landscape Lift Your Burdens High For This is Where We Cross
The definition of heartbreak. | 20 | | Her Breath On Glass We Aimed Straight Down
Super raw and almost classic-rock influenced screamo (but it works), members of
The Saddest Landscape during their hiatus continued to play their brand of
passionate screamo. | 21 | | Anomie Mrta Benefit
One of the most important bands in defining screamo as it is known today, Anomie,
a french band formed in 1994, are one of the most important bands that introduced
melody into screamo while retaining the intensity of their hardcore punk roots. And
yeah this album is really great. | 22 | | Nayru Recollections
Get down with the birdcore yo. Crazy-ass vocals coupled with crazy-ass
instrumentation makes a sweet-ass modern screamo album. | 23 | | Merchant Ships For Cameron
A screamo album, heavily influenced by midwest emo, Aziz described it perfectly as
"Frighteningly beautiful." Also a very personal album to me. | 24 | | Sed Non Satiata Sed Non Satiata
The french really know how to do screamo man. | 25 | | Suffocate For Fuck Sake Blazing Fires and Helicopters on the Fro
A masterpiece. A beautiful album following a bi-polar Swedish girl and her time
spent in a mental institution, while the band plays a style incredibly influenced by
post-rock, but with a lot of heavier moments as well. It tells a story better than
most albums I've heard, the songwriting is perfect, and the imagery is extremely
vivid. One of the most atmospheric and beautiful screamo albums I've ever heard. | |

07.14.14 | @Futures i mean if you want
i would love that | YakNips
07.14.14 | Here would be fine Xing | XingKing
07.14.14 | Alright so, as anticipated, this is bar none the best thing you have done. The instrumentals are absolutely killer and I get a subtle black metal vibe from not only the guitars, but your vocals. Your vocals have also gotten way stronger and they sound a lot cleaner (are you actually using a mic this time? lol) and they really remind me of We Came Out Like Tigers (always a good thing). I like the vocal patterns a lot too
For the constructive part... The bass needs to be mixed differently because it's way too muddy and kind of dirties the mix up too much. The drums also lack a distinct punch because all of the focus is on the guitars and your vocals. The lead near the end of the track could use a bit of EQing because while I like the riff in itself, the tone and mixing when it comes in is really jarring. I'd also consider rerecording your vocals during the clean bridge because they sound slightly forcibly emoted as opposed to genuine.
Either way, I loved the track and listened to it about 4 times for you. Keep it up, man. I am proud of you ♥ | GuanoBumbershoot

:D! Yage is incredible.
| YakNips
07.14.14 | Thanks a lot dude for the praise and also the criticism, both are extremely appreciated! I'll let mindle know what you said as well. And it's funny you mention the vocals during the clean bridge, they were actually recorded in a separate session than the rest of the vocals, the first time I did it they sounded more like Suis La Lune vocals, and mindle wanted something harsher (and after hearing how much better they were the 2nd time around so did I) so I did more harsh vox, but kept the vocals at the clean bridge because mindle thought they fit well there. I do cringe a bit every time I hear them though. | XingKing
07.14.14 | Dear lord. I edited my comment and forgot that doing that turns comments into giant blocks of text. Blah | YakNips
