A short-lived heavy/power metal band from Berg im Drautal in Carinthia, Austria, Scream were formed in 2003 and disbanded in late 2004, with members Guido, Gabriel, and Stefan going on to form the band Painkilla. Their brief existence left them as a minor but documented entry in the regional metal scene of the Carinthian Alps.
Bari's Scream of Savage deliver heavy metal from Puglia since 2021. Their name captures the primal, unrestrained quality they bring to traditional metal from Italy's southeastern Adriatic coast.
Rome's ScreaMachine play heavy metal with the mechanical precision their name suggests since 2020. Their capital-city origins connect them to one of Italy's most competitive and diverse metal scenes.
Houston's Screamer have been flying the flag for traditional heavy metal since 2011, drawing from the same well as the NWOBHM pioneers and early American metal acts who turned amplification into something anthemic and defiant. Their songs lead with guitar melodies that have actual hooks — memorable, fist-raising moments built for stages in sweaty clubs — delivered with a vocalist whose range tips the cap to the genre's golden era. Houston's metal underground is vast and varied, and Screamer represent its most classically inclined corner.
Sassari's Screaming Shadows deliver heavy metal from northwestern Sardinia since 2015. Their island origins and evocative name suggest music that carries the weight of isolation and Mediterranean mystique.
Zheleznogorsk's Screammet play heavy metal from the closed nuclear city in Krasnoyarsk Krai since 2011. Their origins in one of Russia's secret atomic cities add a unique context to their traditional metal sound.
Nizhny Novgorod's Screed play heavy metal from the Volga-Oka confluence since 2009. Over fifteen years from one of Russia's largest cities, they have maintained a commitment to traditional metal.
Scrotex play heavy metal from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, channeling classic metal energy from the Canary Islands. Active since 2004, they've spent two decades bringing traditional metal fire to the Atlantic archipelago.
Scrying Mirror forge heavy metal from Augsburg, their occult-tinged name suggesting a mystical dimension to their traditional metal approach. Formed in 2020, they bring divination-themed imagery to Bavarian Swabia's heavy metal scene.
