50 Frickin Screamo Albums

Pt.2 of this series, top of the crop Skramz and whatnot.
1Suis La Lune
Riala


2012
One of the GOATs and my personal fave. Most beautiful clean tones in the game. Sentimental, twinkly and energetic.
2La Quiete
La fine non è la fine


2004
Another GOAT. Raw, pretty and dramatic. Goes Hard. Their comps are pretty much on the same level.
3Jeromes Dream
Presents


2001
GOATs. Noise rock, mathcore, ahead of its time. Earlier stuff is more "screamo", but this album is wild. There's a great guitar playthrough on YT, adds to the enjoyment/understanding.
4Usurp Synapse
Disinformation Fix


2003
A comp of their material pre-reunion. Essential grindy, mathy and sassy. Dissonant bashing.
5Daitro
Laisser Vivre Les Squelettes


2006
Elegant masterclass and summary of what the genre is.
6Reversal Of Man
This Is Medicine


1999
Relentless Emoviolence. Back when screamo was more Grind/Powerviolence adjacent.
7Shikari
1999 - 2003


2004
Relentless Emoviolence Pt.2. A comp of all their stuff. About as brutal as screamo can get. Grind vibes.
8Trachimbrod
Leda


2017
Almost a Radiohead vibe sometimes. In the vein of Suis La. Gorgeous and occasionally catchy.
9I Wrote Haikus About Cannibalism...
iwrotehaikusaboutcannibalisminyouryearbook


2010
A comp of some of the most essential, lo fi/cathartic/dramatic screamo.
10Kidcrash
Jokes


An all timer imo. Mathy, driving and immersive. Lots of replay value, due to the densely written guitar/drums.
11Capsule (US)
Blue


2007
An all timer imo. Mathy, dissonant and occasionally atmospheric. Amazing performances here.
12Off Minor
The Heat Death of the Universe


2003
Ridiculously good album/a classic. The quintessential loud/quiet dynamics. A bit of a jazz influence too.
13Loma Prieta
I.V.


2012
Hard AF. Moshable screamo. A lot of people's gateway band, for a good reason.
14Textbook Traitors
You Pull the Strings That Make Us Dance


2003
Panic chord emoviolence gem. Goes hard.
15United Nations
United Nations


2008
A sleeper classic from basically a screamo supergroup (look em up). Effortlessly replayable.
16Neil Perry
Lineage Situation


2003
Another essential comp. V influential band. Leaning into earlier Metalcore vibes.
17Love Lost But Not Forgotten
Upon the Right, I Saw a New Misery


2002
Heavy, chaotic and breakdowns. Goes Hard.
18Joshua Fit For Battle
To Bring Our Own End


2002
Same as ^^^
19I Would Set Myself On Fire For You
Believes In Patterns


2006
Experimental, jazzy, sorta post-rock and still raw.
20Respire
Denouement


2018
Def influenced by ^^^. Like cramming Godspeed and Black Metal into a screamo band.
21Vi Som Alskade Varandra Sa Mycket
Det Onda. Det Goda. Det Vackra. Det Fula.


2019
Massive sounding. Maybe a Cult of Luna influence detected. Slept on band.
22Saetia
Saetia


1998
Pretty much the quintessential band in the genre, if you know screamo, you know Saetia.
23Angel Hair
Pregnant With The Senior Class


1997
Another comp. Early sassy, dissonant and gross screamo. Three One G type vibe.
24State Faults
Resonate/Desperate


2013
Prob one of the best produced bands in the genre/ great gateway band. Almost a melodic hardcore vibe. Infectious shit.
25Shin Guard
2020


2019
Was such a promising band. Expertly performed. So many influences come through, echoes of metalcore and The Fall of Troy.
26Senza
Even a Worm Will Turn


2019
V much Jeromes Dream influenced, but still retaining their own identity. Dissonant, panic chord madness. Drums go hard.

Atmospheric, post-hardcore leaning gem,
28Ampere
Like Shadows

Absolutely relentless, successor to Orchid.

2017
Another Awesome Japanese band. Like Envy, but with maybe more of Black and Post-Metal influence.
35Yaphet Kotto
The Killer Was in the Government Blankets


1999
A classic for sure. Dramatic, messy but still played well. Kind of Dischord Post-Hardcore influenced guitar playing.
36City of Caterpillar
City of Caterpillar


2002
Highly influential album. Middle ground between PH and screamo, while also having post-rock vibes.
37Circle Takes the Square
As the Roots Undo


2004
Another highly influential band. Manic, sort of experimental and unique album.
38Gospel
The Moon Is a Dead World


2005
Another highly influential classic band. Hard to say if this is screamo, but it def influenced a lot of it. Like if Mars Volta was skramz or something.

Early crusty black metal screamo. Raw and dark.
40Union Of Uranus
Disaster By Design


1995

Another comp. Like proto screamo. Still holds up, amazing they were doing this stuff at the time. Kinda Slint vibes sometimes, also kinda Drive Like Jehu vibes.
42Heroin
Heroin


Another comp/more proto screamo. Early noise rock, hardcore punk type stuff, that would influence many bands.

Dark and mysterious sounding emoviolence. Like Today is the Day but screamo, or something like that.
47Combatwoundedveteran
I Know A Girl Who Develops Crime Scene Photos


2000
Chaotic, dissonant and relentless emoviolence. Sort of a precursor to some of the "white belt" style.
48Merchant Ships
For Cameron


2010
Prob a big influence, to the rise of twinkly screamo. This album still holds up tho. Sad af noodly guitar type shit.
49Ekkaia
Manos Que Estrechan Planes De Muerte Y Sometimient


2002
Leaning more into the Crust world. Passionate, messy and densely packed album. Like if Tragedy or His Hero Is Gone was a screamo band.
50Closure
Closure


1997
Hidden gem. Really laid the groundwork for a lot what was to come. Already has that raw post-hardcore and moody clean parts thing going on.

Wish this band had more stuff/a full album. Ahead of their time. Kind of similar to I Hate Myself.
