Kingmaker [LP], SCREAMER, Vinyl

IT'S THEIR ENTHUSIASM, THE PHYSICALLY TANGIBLE INTENSITY OF THEIR SONGS AND THEIR IRREPRESSIBLE DRIVE THAT HAS ALWAYS SET SCREAMER APART FROM OTHER ACTS. The Swedish band surrounding vocalist Andreas Wikström benefits no end from the group's amazing energy in combination with the musicians' inspiring and diverse songwriting. This rewarding mix has already produced four studio albums and one live recording since 2011. Screamer's latest offering 'Kingmaker' is scheduled for release on Steamhammer/SPV on 13 January 2023. As it's predecessors, 'Kingmaker' sparkles with a wealth of songs in the catchment area of classic heavy metal, the kind that has been an integral part of our lives since the early 1980s. At the same time, Screamer skinsman Henrik Petersson promises his band's most mature and focused album yet, saying: "Kingmaker' had us refine our signature style even more and bring out the essence of our strongest fortes."
