What is Screaming?
'''Screaming''' is a vocal technique often used in [[punk rock]], fast played [[metal music]], and [[screamo]]. It is usually simply either a louder than normal high pitched form of singing, or a louder than normal low pitched form of singing. In both cases the [[Singer|vocalist]] usually tries to make it sound like some sort of beast's growl. For this reason, a low pitched scream is usually called a [[death growl]]. More experimental forms of screaming are often used in [[alternative rock]] and [[emo|emo music]]. These genres often have shrill screaming that has an emotional tone to it. The band, [[Thursday (band)|Thursday]], is a good example of this. Screaming is popular in genres: [[screamo]], [[post-hardcore]], [[hardcore punk]], [[heavy metal music|heavy metal]], and many more. Some other bands that have screaming include [[Silverstein]], [[Hawthorne Heights]], and [[Escape the Fate]]. [[Category:Communication]]
