  • The top few Screamo releases of the year. These represent the pinnacle of quality for modern Screamo releases.

  • The much avowed late 90s through early 00s are considered the creative pinnacle of the genre, with each band contributing their own individual blends of chaos, artistry, technicality and dissonance. By the 2010s, this style had largely died out, but some modern bands are finally taking inspiration from these forgotten legends and forging a new legacy.

  • These are the most brutal, chaotic and technically demanding Screamo and Emoviolence records of the year.

  • Ambient, serene and atmospheric Screamo to meditate to while in the middle of a black hole.

  • Midwest Screamo, blending the ferocity of Screamo with the melancholy of Midwest Emo.

  • More Screamo from the year, in case you hate labels.
