Formed in 2001, with their unconventional, hard-to-pigeonhole mixture of rough, heavy guitars and experimental, multi-layered electronic music, “Battle Scream” have already gained a loyal fan base extending beyond their home city of Dresden. In September 2007 they released their album “Suffering”, a remarkable reflection of the band's rapid progress over the last two years. While the electronic influence is unmistakeably greater, there is no lack of the usual catchy, heavy guitar riffs.

Formed in 2001, with their unconventional, hard-to-pigeonhole mixture of rough, heavy guitars and experimental, multi-layered electronic music, “Battle Scream” have already gained a loyal fan base extending beyond their home city of Dresden. In September 2007 they released their album “Suffering”, a remarkable reflection of the band's rapid progress over the last two years. While the electronic influence is unmistakeably greater, there is no lack of the usual catchy, heavy guitar riffs. But these are no longer in the foreground of the Dresden band's sound – instead they provide the right thrust and round off the overall impression of every song. As in the last production, the recording teems with eminent guests. This time, the new release is graced, among others, by “Holly”, lead artist of the Dresden group “Letzte Instanz” and “Cephalgy”, who can confidently be described as repeat offenders. Last autumn “Battle Scream" carried off their first tour of Germany with great success. Among the stops on the tour were Hamburg, Bochum, Regensburg, Erfurt, Leipzig, Potsdam and of course Dresden. Seen live, Battle Scream are in a class of their own. The four musicians grouped round charismatic lead artist Alex have an impressive knack of taking over both the audience and the stage for themselves, so brace yourself for a high-energy inferno of darkness as soon as the Dresden group hits the stage.
