AIM FOR THE THROAT!!

Many of you have had and expressed concerns about why many of your favorite screamo bands have, um, stopped screaming.

The answers simple, I remembered it today.

As an aspiring vocalist, I can attest to the fact that certain screamed vocals can DESTROY your voice.

Take Emery's screaming vocals, for example. They were so raw in The Weak's Ends, but declined slightly in The Question and are almost non-exsistant in I'm Only A Man.

This is probably because their distinct scream is so high pitched it can wreck the screamers vocalist.

So don't fret too much when your favorite band shifts sound and vocals, they are merely trying to preserve the future.

emery's screaming vocals are hilariously horrible, probably the worst scene screams ever. however, their new music is totally kicking some stuff.
