Post-hardcore Swiss four-piece Scream Your Name picked up influences from the likes of As I Lay Dying, Papa Roach, In Flames and Rise Against, placed them in a musical blender and released the 13-track eponymous result last year. The album Scream Your Name sounds like a neverending succession of explosions, small, large and in between, which continue echoing hours after the songs have ended. The album bridges the gap between brutal breakdowns and delicate melodies with pop elements accompanied by stainless steel riffs. The 13 songs on the album were made over a three-year period, allowing listeners to hear the evolution of the band, which is comprised of vocalist Stefan Jaun, guitarist Manu Buser, bassist Micha Krahenbahl and drummer Miguel Muller. Disdaining lowest common denominator appeal, Scream Your Name has chosen an uncompromising path cutting through all styles. The tune "This Is the Last Time" features a Pantera-style staccato riff that's balanced by atmospheric contrasts: addictive solos laid over a field of sonic devastation with harmonic vocals overarching all. You can never be sure what Scream Your Name will do next. Let this fresh and fearless foursome take you by surprise.
