12 Best Screamo Metal Bands Of All Time
11. While She Sleeps
Sheffield based bruisers, While She Sleeps have become one of the UK's best exports. Immediately making waves with their debut single “Crows”, the group offered an exciting mix of chaotic riffs and soaring melodies. The politically charged metalcore group have recently wrapped up a huge headlining tour in the USA and have their sights set on a new release to follow up 2019's 'So What?'.
You can't go to a concert these days without seeing at least ten people wearing While She Sleeps merchandise. The band's popularity largely came from their attitude towards merch. They took the route of separating the music from the clothing, treating the clothing as a brand in itself. Creating a strong line of merch ensured a good revenue stream, all of which has been poured directly into the music.
The band is consistently praised for their incredible work ethic. Since the early days, the group have worked hard to get to where they are now. They recorded 'The North Stands For Nothing' themselves and have stuck by the DIY aspect for their entire career. Going as far as to build a purpose built recording studio and creating their own record label.
Musically, the group have stayed faithful to the sound they established on 'This Is The Six'. Introducing anthemic choruses and signature sing-a-long sections ensured more fans from across the metal scene. Guitarist Sean Long offers up some incredibly technical riffs to compliment the melodic aspects to the music, creating an exciting experience for listeners.
