REVIEW: SCREAMER – Adrenaline Distractions

 


SCREAMER – Adrenaline Distractions


High Roller Records


It's important to clarify that this band, SCREAMER from Sweden, should not be confused with the American band of the same name, known for their progressive power metal. Hailing from a country with a rich heavy metal heritage, SCREAMER offers a sound that feels both nostalgic and revitalizing.


The album evokes a sense of youthful energy reminiscent of listening to metal for the first time. The band demonstrates strong musicianship, featuring compelling riffs and a genuine rock ‘n’ roll attitude that lends their music a raw and gritty character. Their approach emphasizes intensity and authenticity, creating a sound that is both aggressive and unpolished.



Listeners can expect a fusion of influences resembling early IRON MAIDEN—particularly their first two albums—blended with the rougher edge of MOTORHEAD. This combination results in heavy metal that is straightforward, energetic, and unapologetically powerful. The compositions reflect a clear understanding of the genre’s core elements, delivered with enthusiasm and confidence.


SCREAMER’s work on Adrenaline Distractions suggests that they possess the potential for significant growth within the metal scene. If they maintain their current trajectory, they could carve out a notable space for themselves. For fans of traditional metal that emphasizes riffs, attitude, and a no-frills approach, this album offers a compelling listen.


Ultimately, Adrenaline Distractions is an album that stands out for its energy and authenticity, making it a noteworthy addition for enthusiasts of classic heavy metal.
