Swedish hopefuls Screamer started out in Ljungby, Småland, in early 2009, with Christoffer Svensson (bass/vocals), Martin Hallberg (guitars), Anton Fingal (guitars) and Henrik Petersson (drums). In 2011, they released their debut album »Adrenaline Distractions« for High Roller Records. The record received rave reviews all over the world (especially in Germany’s leading metal magazine Rock Hard). After a European tour (“The ‘Full Pull Tour”) along with Swedish friends Bullet and 77 from Spain in autumn 2012, Screamer recorded their second album »Phoenix«, which was even better received than the début.
Now, in early 2017, after a few line-up re-shuffles, it’s time for the band’s “difficult third album”, entitled »Hell Machine«. With singer Andreas Wikström (originally hailing from Umeå in the far north of Sweden) and bassist Fredrik Svensson Carlström (from Falköping) two new guys have entered the Screamer fold.
This infusion of new blood has rekindled the enthusiasm within the band. Drummer Henrik Petersson can’t hide his joy about how the new album turned out: “The song ‘On My Way’ is probably one of the strongest songs we’ve ever made, along with ‘Monte Carlo Nights’, which we’re pretty sure will satisfy every fan of the band out there. But the most epic piece we’ve ever written must be ‘Lady Of The Night’! ‘Hell Machine’, the title track, on the other hand, is pure heavy metal euphoria. I can go on and list every track of the album here, that’s how proud we are of this album!”
