A Wilhelm Scream

About

A Wilhelm Scream is a melodic hardcore band from New Bedford, Massachusetts, active since 1999. Their music pairs technically demanding guitar work with breakneck tempos and melodic vocals - critics often compare them to Propagandhi, Hot Water Music, and Strung Out. The breakthrough albums Ruiner (2005) and Career Suicide (2007) on Nitro Records built them a devoted worldwide following, and the band has kept going without a single breakup in over 25 years.
