Filthy Sludge Metal out of Texas.
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.
