Top 10 Best Screamo Bands
Bring Me the Horizon is a British rock band from Sheffield, Yorkshire. Formed in 2004, the group currently consists of vocalist Oliver Sykes, guitarist Lee Malia, bassist Matt Kean, drummer Matt Nicholls, and keyboardist Jordan Fish. They are signed to RCA Records globally and Columbia Records exclusively in the US. The style of their early work, including their debut album Count Your Blessings, has primarily been described as deathcore, but they started to adopt a more eclectic style of metalcore on subsequent albums. Furthermore, their latest album That's the Spirit marked a shift in their sound to less aggressive rock music styles. ...read more. I think Bring Me The Horizon has to number one on this list for a few reasons. First being that I've been a fan since they releases their first full album "Count Your Blessings" I did not know about them until that album but I did listen to the episode they released "This is What The Edge of Your Seat Was Made For" and they left a very good first impression on me. (Keep in mind they sounded nothing like they do in sempiternal, no clean vocals) and I loved it. Then they progressed on to making Suicide Season that album was I suppose the album that grew their fan base and then later on coming out with Their is a Hell album and sempiternal. And when you compare the first album with the last their is a dramatic difference. It just shows how much they have matured and found a style that they want to take on and stick with. What makes it stand out more is that the band has the right amount of confidence to pull off a whole new image and sound, not shy away from it or try to take it back ...more
The reason I appreciate Bring Me The Horizon, is because their lyrics really hit a personal spot for me. I was never a fan of this genre of music, but at age 15, I was diagnosed with Major Depression, Anxiety, and Bipolar Disorder. With everything going on, I couldn't find any music to truly help me feel better... Until I discovered BMTH. I tried several screamo bands, but none of them seemed to have affected me in the same way. Suicide Season, There is a Hell... , Count Your Blessings, and Sempiternal are the albums that got me through a lot of depessing times. I am not emo, and the idea that all people who listen to this music have to be scene seems ridiculous to me. Bring Me The Horizon deserves to be #1, because their lyrics are legendary and they have no idea how much they are helping people around the world.
The screaming isn't what makes this band great. The true factor which make BMTH so amazing is that their songs carry a feel pulled strongly by the background/orchestral style sounds. There isn't a hood in their songs, but ever time I listen, I feel connected. The clean vocals, when involved, are always well placed and add to that feeling. While said screaming ability is definitely heavy, it will always add to the song, even if it's a sad, quiet song. The two most recent albums pull this off the best. To top this band off is their ability to play live. I saw them at Warped, and I'd never listened to them before, but I loved them.
If BMTH wasn't so high, I'd be voting for blessthefall though; they are amazing live (Even with their screams always sounding out of breath haha).
I have been listening to these guys since 09' and their the best band I have ever heard. Oli's screams and lyrics, Matt's drumming and every single one of the members just make every song worth listening to. Count Your Blessings, Suicide season and There is a hell, believe it I've seen it. There is a heaven, let's keep it a secret are just pure gold. I love them so much. This band deserves #1 on this list, you'd be crazy to put them in any other place.
Asking Alexandria are an English metalcore band from York, North Yorkshire formed initially in 2008 by lead guitarist Ben Bruce along with former lead singer Danny Worsnop, bassist Joe Lancaster, keyboardist and synth player Ryan Binns, and current members drummer James Cassells and rhythm guitarist Cameron Liddell. Lancaster and Binns later departed from the band in 2009 with Lancaster joining heavy metal band With One Last Breath. Bassist Sam Bettley joined the band that same year, and in January 2015 Worsnop departed to focus on his new band We Are Harlot and was later replaced by Denis Stoff of Down & Dirty and Make Me Famous. The band has released four studio albums, their most recent being ...read more. I listen to other screamo bands and I love different ones, but this band is BY FAR the best band I have ever listened to! All their songs are good, and get stuck in my head ( in a good way ). Truly the best screamo band out their and they deserve the number 1 spot on any top screamo band list.
I love the sound that this band is making.. They totally rock this world! They are so amazing.. Actually they are my idols.. Just keep it up! Stay cool..
Everyone in the band is great, but Ben Bruce and Danny Worsnop have an amazing talent! Danny has the best screaming, growling, roaring, and clean vocals I've ever heard! And Ben is beast at the guitar and can do amazing solos or he makes melodies that fit a song JUST right!
They truly are AMAZING! I listen to at least five or six of their songs everyday! No joke! I love the way they sound! It's unique and different from other screamo bands. And I went to their concert.. All I can say was it was absolutely amazing. Most intense night of my life.
Bullet for My Valentine are a Welsh metalcore band from Bridgend, formed in 1998. The band is composed of Matthew Tuck (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Michael Paget (lead guitar, backing vocals), Michael Thomas (drums) and Jamie Mathias (bass guitar). Former members include Nick Crandle and Jason James; both were on bass. They were formed under the name Jeff Killed John and started their music career by covering songs by Metallica and Nirvana. Jeff Killed John recorded six songs which were not released; two of these tracks were reworked later in their career as Bullet for My Valentine. Financial difficulties dictated the name change, which was followed by a change in music direction. In 2002, the band secured a five-album deal with Sony BMG.
They have now started writing for other bands too, they wrote 'Find My Way' for their friends band FROM INSIDE which is due out Summer 2016. Details of other projects they are working on is set to be released on their Facebook page. Best band ever! The first time I listened to these guys music I fell I love with it and wanted more. The way they mix screaming with regular vocals is amazing and better than anyone else I have heard. The song "Deliver us From Evil" is one of my favorites and should be checked out. Also how is the band Atreyu not on this list, they sound some what similar to Bullet For My Valentine but are just as good. Check me out people
Bullet for my Valentine is my all time favorite band. Matt tuck has a great singing voice, but his screams are very unique that aren't really high or low which no other band I know of uses. He doesn't have much range, but his unique vocals, the lyrics to the songs, and great guitar playing overshadows it.
Second best band in the world. They have awesome and heavy songs. They also have very good slow songs too. Amazing guitarists with dueling guitar solos, and their drums are always good. Jason James is one of my favorite bass players and he is fantastic at screaming just like Matt Tuck.
Bullet For My Valentine are by far the best ever band in the wold. They produce great songs that actually have meaning. Asking Alexandria have nothing over Bullet, so personally I think they should be number 1.
End on discussion. Put Bullet at first place.
Of Mice & Men is an American metalcore band from Orange County, California. The band's lineup currently consists of lead vocalist and bassist Aaron Pauley, guitarists Phil Manansala and Alan Ashby, and drummer Valentino Arteaga. Sleeping with sirens? Really? That's funny. Sleeping with sirens isn't screamo at all. At all. The lead singer sounds like a toddler on steroids and he doesn't even scream, he just sort of shouts. The only band Sleeping with sirens can be compared to is One Direction. Of mice and men are a way better band than sleeping with sirens will ever be.
My favorite metal band by far. They just want to rock and their lyrics have so much meaning. I love rocking to them alone in my basement or with my other metal friends. Nobody screams quite like Austin. Personally I think om&m should be top three with asking Alexandria and bring me the horizon.
Of mice and men has to be number 1! All their song has meaning to it... They've helped tons of people including me. My favorite song is You're not alone... The lyrics are just beautiful and perfect. "Don't let the world bring you down! It's not over You're not alone anymore! " Beautiful...
There's no way that of mice and men is lower than asking alexandria... There lyrics have no meaning and of mice and men actually touch your heart... You can feel the pain austin has felt throughout his lifetime seriously they should be number 1 or at the very least number 3
Suicide Silence is an American deathcore band from Riverside, California. Formed in 2002, the band has released four full-length studio albums, one EP and eleven music videos. I'm surprised to see them at the bottom of the list considering they are the only screamo band on here. I don't even listen to Suicide Silence but the reason I vote for them is because the rest are rock. Black Veil Brides is a really good band but is not screamo. They are more glam rock. Most of these bands should be in a "Top Ten Best Rock Bands"
Suicide Silence should be on top. No questions asked. Mitch Lucker is the only screamer that had the high scream range like his who made songs without using autotune. The only reason he sounds different live is because of audio distortion. Eddie is great too.
Despite the fact that this band is Deathcore and Metalcore (like almost all bands here), Mitch Lucker's scream is unbeatable. He has the right vocal rane for the medium and high screams, and can death growl amazingly well!
Okay honestly why is Sleeping With Sirens and Pierce The Veil rated better than Suicide Silence? Sorry fangirls Mitch is still the best screamer.
A Day to Remember (often abbreviated ADTR) is an American rock band from Ocala, Florida, founded in 2003 by guitarist Tom Denney and drummer Bobby Scruggs. They are known for their unusual amalgamation of metalcore and pop punk. The band currently consists of vocalist Jeremy McKinnon, rhythm guitarist Neil Westfall, bassist Joshua Woodard, percussion and drummer Alex Shelnutt and lead guitarist Kevin Skaff.
They have now started writing for other bands too, they wrote 'Find My Way' for their friends band FROM INSIDE which is due out Summer 2016. Details of other projects they are working on is set to be released on their Facebook page. For those who have heart. That's all. Super great. I love these guys so much. They have hard songs along with soft songs like if it means a lot to you. Amazing band 10/10
The best of the genre. They totally kick you in the face with their powerful songs! That's what makes their difference to all the other band up there, when I listen to them I find their sound unique while all the other sound the same. Just give a try to 2nd sucks and downfall of us all! You won't regret it, I promise!
I love ADTR. They took a totally different approach to their new album Common Courtesy and it paid off. They sound completely different. That kinda sounds like a bad thing but it's really a good thing. They have had some great songs like Mr. Highways Thinking About the End and Show 'Em The Ropes, and that made them great but now they are the best.
This is my all time favorite band! There are excellent breakdowns in every album and nearly every song. The sound in each album is pretty consistent with some minor changes here and there but it NEVER gets old! Stranded on a desert island, bringing their discography!
The Devil Wears Prada is an American metalcore band from Dayton, Ohio, formed in 2005. It consists of members Mike Hranica, Jeremy DePoyster, Andy Trick, and Daniel Williams. Best metalcore band ever! Jeremy has such melodic clean vocals, and Mike... Mike is the best screaming vocalist that has ever existed. The Devil Wears Prada maks me feel like am walking in the skies, when am down and hear Mikes's vocals, it suddenly feels like the whole world has paused and nothing else exists @that moment. B4 anyone compares The Devil Wears Prada to any other band, jzt listen to Danger Wildman, Gimme Half and I Hate Buffering. There is The Devil Wears Prada and then there are other bands. Undisputed No1
They have been my number one favorite band for over three years now. I do always find new bands to obsess over but in the end I always find myself going back to The Devil Wears Prada! I love their music! Stay screamin guys!
They should definitely be top 5. Top 3 even. They can scream better than almost anyone. And sound good when they aren't screaming. I wish they were ranked higher because they really deserve it.
To be honest, The Devil Wears Prada is probably my favorite metal band that I've ever listened to. I love all the bands on this list, but Mike's screaming blows me away every time.
Pierce the Veil is an American post-hardcore band from San Diego, California. Formed in 2006, the band was founded by brothers Vic and Mike Fuentes after the disbandment of the group Before Today, which was formed out of the San Diego punk rock scene. This is one of the only bands I listen to. In fact, I'm listening to their "Props & Mayhem" as I'm typing this. Vic's voice is amazing (and no, I don't like this band because of how sexy the members are; hell, I'm a lesbian). Pierce the Veil is the band that got me into the screamo/post-hardcore genre. Before I heard their songs, I didn't even like the screaming. Now, I don't like some songs because they don't have screaming. This band is also amazing to see live. Vic has an amazing voice live, and the whole band is very fan-friendly, always getting their audience involved. Overall, this is the best band I've ever heard of (pun intended).
My absolute favourite band. Yeah, Vic can scream, that's the point of this list, but he has such a great mixed voice; I really love his post-hardcore vocals on Selfish Machines. He's a very close second to my favourite singer, Kellin Quinn (surprise, surprise). PTV's songwriting, though, is easily my favourite; it's emotional but unique and sophisticated. And their overall sound is amazing. Tony can shred! It's heavy enough that I can really get into it, but not too. Also, I met them and they're really cool and sweet. I just love everything about them.
Pierce the veil should be in the top ten at least. They put so much in there songs, its not about them being hot you shouldn't fall in love with a band just because there cute. You can tell each member puts so much passion in what they play. And you can tell they really enjoy it and the result of it? Amazing songs that you never get tired of (trust me I would know) Though I love Asking Alexandria and some of the bands in the top ten also so its pretty tough but this band? My number and should be in this list top 10.
Absolutely love the band. They are very connected to their fans. The lyrics are so powerful. They have so much hidden meanings. It's fun to decode their songs. I absolutely love the rawness of Vic's voice. It feels personal. The only complaint I have is that they literally haven't posted a song since My Chemical Romance's break up besides The Divine Zero. Where is the new album boys? I haven't heard a song by them that was bad. The new album will be incredible I have confidence in that.
Motionless in White, often abbreviated MIW, is an American metalcore band from Scranton, Pennsylvania. Motionless in White is absolutely amazing. Their lyrics actually mean something unlike quite a few bands these days. They take the things in our society and in today's world that people would preferably just ignore, and "shove them in peoples faces" as Chris would say. Which I truly think is genius, if we just ignore all the bad things going on, how do we expect them to stop? They'll just continue to go on. Not only are their lyrics great and meaningful, but so are their vocals, bass, drums, guitar, their sound in general. I don't know. If you are wanting a badass Deathmetal/"Screamo" band to listen to, who are not a waist of time and put in the time and effort to write great things and who really care, I'd say Motionless In White is the band for you...
Motionless in white are an amazing band, they sing/scream about what its like to be an outcast, they have an amazing singer (chris motionless) Chris tries so hard to reach out to people to tell them they aren't alone, no matter what this world challenges you with you aren't alone in it, its ok to be different. You shouldn't give what others think, its only an opinion. Don't let people change who you are, don't let anything be forced upon you, especially religion. Everyone should listen to them. They are just AMAZING, there are no words for how amazing and life-changing they are!
This band is amazing chris is the best singer. Chris tries to reach out to people to let them know their not alone in this world and to let them know its ok to be different. He respects the way you are but wont take crap from anyone even if they are trying to change him he doesn't let that effect him he starts himself and lives his life his way. That's just some reasons why this band is the best at what they do. I can't go a day without listening to them.
I discovered Motionless In White when Reincarnate had recently come out, and all I could think was, they sound so different. I listened to some more of their music, and slowly grew to love them. Chris Cerulli sings about things that MATTER. He doesn't just sing about being pissed cause he can, he sings about what's wrong in our society, the judgement handed to people who are different everyday. This band will be a legend years from now, up there with Marilyn Manson, and Black Sabbath.
Falling in Reverse is an American post hardcore band from Las Vegas, Nevada, formed in 2008, signed to Epitaph Records.
The current members include the former Escape The Fate singer Ronnie Radke, Max Georgiev, Christian Thompson and bassist Wes Horton III. Former members of the band include Derek Jones (1984 - 2020), Ryan Seaman, Ron Ficarro, Max Green, and Jacky Vincent. Any body who listens to Ronnies music knows that genres are always easy to blend into each other but songs like rolling stone, champion & Alone; are examples of the vocal and lyrical talent Ronnie was hiding while in escape the fate. Ronnies screams have been so much better since he was kicked outta ETF. And the anger he had towards ETF at the beginning or FiR's rise is another example of just how much talent he had but didn't get to use. Ronnie screams, Sings & Raps. That's more then most vocalists in the genre they are definitely the band that brings the Rap Rock style To Hardcore/Metalcore music
Ronnie Radke, Ryan Seaman, Jacky Vincet, all members have made this band amazing. I'm a guy and I love the drums ( I play drums and they are great to learn and play to) and the guitars are always great. Ronnie has a way with hooks and his lyrics are as close as you get to the real thing. 2nd album was bad but wasnt awful. Their newest album is pure genius though. Mixing punk/metal/and pop into one is for sure worth a listen.
I found out about Ronnie on accident, I eventually got interested in who he was after listening to Escape the Fate, it eventually led me to be obsessed with Ronnie, even though he changed his style, he is still my hero. Falling In Reverse is my favorite band of all time. Very inspirational.
They are the best. The singer (Ronnie Radke) was singing in Escape The Fate before. He is now in Falling In Reverse, and I think that etf is nothing without him, I can tell that falling in reverse will be so popular, they have one album for now. An album named "The Drug In Me Is You" Ronnie's growl is amazing.
Great story, great lyrics, great sound. This band is simply amazing, listening to their music is like a spiritual experience for me. Their lyrics are base on classic literature, and if you do much reading, you can really appreciate the beauty in Alesana. And as far as the band members themselves go, all I can say is, great guys!
I love this Band, Every song and album is a different story, while being all mixed together at the same time, their music is top quality and it should be in the first 5. I also love the string and piano sound Shawn adds to the soundtracks, and the combination of harmony is Simply Perfect.
They take the time and effort to actually make a song worth listening to, to the lyrics, to every little sound they put in a song, to the way the instruments are in sync with each other. The most unique band out there by far, and better than all of the other generic crap out there!
Dennis Lee is the best screamer ever! His range is unbelievable. The lyrics win over all. They tell a dark story, are filled with emotion and the word choice is absolutely amazing. Awesome sound too.
Black Veil Brides is an American rock band currently consisting of Andy Biersack (vocals), Jinxx (guitar), Jake Pitts (guitar), Christian Coma (drums) and Ashley Purdy (bass), that formed in 2006 in Ohio.
In the beginning of their career, the band was heavily associated with the emo subculture, and had strong metalcore, screamo and alternative influences, however got more metal oriented over the years. Their songs usually carry a message of acceptance, believing in yourself and being individual and different. Among their most well known songs are "Knives and Pens", "Rebel Love Song", "In the End" and "Fallen Angels". I'm such a big fan! I love many bands but I just love this one the most. Nowadays most idiotic pop songs just talk about twerking and getting girls and cars but just read some of the lyrics from some Black Veil Brides songs. :
Knives and Pens
With Knives and Pens we made our plight,
And I can't go on without your love you lost you never held on.
We tried our best to turn out the light. Turn out the light.
For example, this pop song
My anaconda don't my anaconda don't my anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hun.
Like, what?!? That song has no meaning to it and it's inappropriate.
See what I mean?
Without BVB I wouldn't be here right now so I really appreciate the fact that they are in the top 5 but I don't really think they scream; I mean, they screamed in Knives and Pens and Perfect Weapon and I think that's it from all of my knowledge but anyways, check out this band, it's amazing! Andy has amazing vocals, Ashley is amazing at guitar, Jinxx and Jake won the Golden God for guitar and CC is insane on the drums. I am very happy because I get to see them in concert in October with Falling in Reverse
Black Veil Brides is an awesome band I love the way they sound. Their music is great. I am impressed with the sound that comes out when I hear their music. Their makeup is so beautiful, I am so amazed by their appearance. I wish them good luck with the rest their career and hopefully they will not ever stop making music.
Black Veil Brides has inspired me to do many things with their music, they are the best band ever! I actually figured them out because of the name Andy. My nickname is Andy and it has always been and I searched up Andy and I found Andy Biersack. I started listening to them and they became my favorite band of all time!
Alexisonfire is a five-piece Canadian post-hardcore band that formed in St. Catharines, Ontario in 2001. The band consists of George Pettit, Dallas Green, Wade MacNeil, Chris Steele, and Jordan Hastings. This group was out before any if these groups in the top ten. They created the standard with so little influence before them. They had no one to Try and be better than. 6th isn't bad but I feel they were better than some if these other bands. Especially since they never completely went mainstream.
All the bands are mediocre compared to alexisonfire, they were the first screamo/post hardcore band to break into popular music and although they're broken up they remain one of my most favoured bands ever!
It would be a shame to compare this group to any other in the list, I believe their sound is special and most of the other groups are very generic but that's only my opinion. Anyway been listening for 5 years to the same 4 albums and 1 ep and I can't get enough
Seriously, 38? You all should be ashamed. AOF puts basically every band higher on the list to shame, well, minus Pg. 99, who are actually screamo. This list is funny though. You 14-17 year olds who think that ISMFOF and A! A! And basically every other band on this list... Y'all some funny kids, man.
Sleeping with Sirens is an American rock band from Orlando, Florida currently residing in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The band currently consists of Kellin Quinn, Gabe Barham, Jack Fowler, Nick Martin, and Justin Hills. This is what got me into the "Screamo" genre, I cannot believe that Sleeping With Sirens isn't in the top ten list of bands. My favorite song by SWS is...oh oops all of them! They should be at least #8 on the list. This band is one of the only reasons I don't cry when life gets tough. Kellin has the voice of a angel! I love him and the whole band!
This bad is the band that got me into this type of music. Kellin is literally a God. He has such a beautiful voice. They should definitely be higher that this. At least in the top 5! There music is so perfect it is indescribable.
I love SWS SO much! Kellin has the voice of an Angel. I love the whole band, to its entirety. The music they produce is amazing, just as simple as that. Sleeping with sirens is on my top 3 list of my favorite bands. Keep up the good work, boys, I love you all.
Kellin Quinns voice is so angelic and their instrumentals are amazing. There lyrics have so much meaning be hind the. My personal favorites are if you can't hang, iris, who are you now, if I'm james dean and your audrey hepburn.
August Burns Red is an American metalcore band from Manheim, Pennsylvania. Formed in 2003, the group began their first performances while a majority of the members were attending their senior year of high school, and soon began playing shows around Lancaster, before being signed to CI Records. Afterwards, ...read more. Gotta love these guys. They are so technical, and never fail to impress with their depth of songwriting. They do not deserve to be this low on the list. Buy their Christmas album too, cause it's gonna rock.
August Burns Red is one amazing band I started to listen to them about a year ago and I loved them, there a good Christian band and they know how to throw it down when it comes to there music.
This is my favorite band in the whole world. Definitely should not be number 14. These guys are the absolute best, their music is beautiful as are the people who perform in it.
They are such a great positive screamo band. My favorite band. These guys should not be so low. Amazing instruments, amazing screamer
I See Stars is an American rock band that formed in 2006 based in Warren, Michigan. The band currently consists of vocalist Devin Oliver, guitarist Brent Allen, keyboardist and vocalist Andrew Oliver, and bass guitarist Jeff Valentine. Seriously, listen to Zach Johnsons screams. They feel/sound so powerful and full of raw emotion. I see stars is for sure in my top 5 favourite bands of all time. When I saw them, they had an absolutely amazing live show, and we're just so enjoyable, and the electronics add so much fun, but it's also hardcore enough to have a pretty great mosh pit. All around great band
Great overall band, not for everybody, but they have a great style for anyone who likes dubstep type music, or synthcore. Amazing vocals and great screams. This band also has some variety, which you don't see in a lot of bands. Id put I See Stars in the top 5!
Best band ever created in the human world Go Devin Oliver and forever lives I See Stars! One of there best albums is End Of The World Party, so yea a think they will most likely go Hard. They faced many challeges on there way to sucess, although they have accomplished and will face even greater challenges. Endless sky! GUERRO254
Check out their newest album Digital Renegade and you will be hooked. Zach Johnson has a phenomenal scream and Devin Oliver has some solid clean vocals.
Escape the Fate is an American rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, formed in 2005 and originally from Pahrump, Nevada. They are signed to Eleven Seven Music. Their the best because, their beat is awesome, they having hot band members, their screamo is easy to understand and other bands are all like just screamo this band actually has plain words their just the best. I love you RONNIE AND CRAIG!
Whenever I have a bad day or even want to listen to a good metal song... I pick this band.
Escape The Fate is absolutely incredible. That's all I must say.
Guitar solos > breakdowns
That is all... Besides Craig's high screams. (10/10)
Atreyu should be in the top 5! Check out this band you won't regret it.. You will be hooked with their songs plus alex varkatzas' voice is just amazing it's so powerful! Check out " the crimson"
Sure not all songs are a hit but "lipstick and black" "bleeding mascara" and "ravenous" are great. They have a powerful duo. "Gallows" "blow" "anitlove grand" and "when two are one" are also great.
Atreyu is definitely too low on here. A deathgrip on yesterday is a great album. Some of the bands on here are not screamo to be honest.
How are they so low? They're awesome!
Miss May I is an American metalcore band from Troy, Ohio. Formed in 2007, they signed to Rise Records in 2008 and released their debut album, Apologies Are for the Weak through the label while the members were still attending high school. There new album is so much more musically complex than any of there other albums especially the song ballad of a broken you guys should check that song out they belong in the number one spot.
You gotta be kidding me. How is MISS MAY I be less than top 10? This and blessthefall should be way up top
Crown the Empire is an American metalcore band formed in 2010 in Dallas, Texas. They have released one EP and three full-length albums. Explain to me why these guys aren't in the top ten. I mean come on they scream well and their singer has an extremely unique voice and can carry melodies beautifully. Not to mention the few acoustic songs out there by them are amazing.
CTE definitely deserves to be in the top ten. These guys are amazing. Andy sings very beautifully, and David is an amazing screamer. Andy screams great too. So why is this number 47? I haven't heard one song by them that I don't like.
They have amazing vocals! Having two vocalists really does something for them and their lyrics are really amazing!
I'm actually surprised a lot of people have chosen this. I don't know a lot of people who do know them, but they fill most of my playlists and are sooo awesome!
Way too low! Most of the bands rated above them have 2 or 3 tracks per album that are respectable. You can and should listen to Silverstein straight through. Every song has raw emotion, harmonic vocals, melodic riffs, solos and above all the sickest and cleanest screaming voice in the music industry.
A band that has been around for decades and has consistent albums to solidify their greatness. In terms of screamo, they helped define it, especially having one lead singer, unlike most bands, for clean and unclean vocals. Silverstein also has helped with depression for many. Top 5 in any category!
Silverstein is probably my favorite screamo band. It has hard and soft songs that are all good. I tend to usually like harder songs so when a band has soft songs on their album I usually skip them. This is not the case with Silverstein. They are great on all aspects of their music.
This band changed my life. Whenever I feel depressed or anxious I listen to this band. Shane told has an amazing voice and he is a great songwriter. I know all of silverstein's songs and they are amazing live when I saw them at warped tour this year. Shane told is my idol
Dead by April is a Swedish metalcore band from Gothenburg, formed in February 2007 by Pontus Hjelm and Jimmie Strimell. This band has the best screaming vocals I've heard in my whole life, check out the songs "Painting Shadows" and "Losing You". Jimmie Strimell is the best screamer ever, that's for sure, and one thing the other bands don't have is the amazing singing talent which Dead by April has.
Dead by April has been around for a couple of years now, but I just found them, and I completely fell in love with their music, and it's hard for me to get into a band this much, other than I See Stars.
I found this band last year and LOVED them! Their song "Dreaming" was my #1 fave!
Man! They should be at no. 1! No question!
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is an American rock band that was formed in Middleburg, Florida, in 2003. The band is best known for their 2006 single "Face Down" from their major-label release Don't You Fake It and has released five studio albums to date. This is one of the most amazing bands I've come across, they have very inspirational songs like facedown, your guardian angel, Godspeed, etc. they have amazing vocals. They have an amazing mixture of screaming and regular vocals in their songs. Personally I think they deserve a higher ranking but that's just my opinion.
