So, guess what? Today I'm turning fucking 18! And I thought I'd celebrate that by giving you a classic screamo album that I got from my mum for my 16th birthday, two years ago.
Quantice Never Crashed were fucking intense. I also remember they would refuse to ever play any show with an age limit. That's something that every band with some self respect left should do.

Tracklist:
1. Landlocked part1
2. Landlocked part2
3. What A Fucking Joke

Download

No, I don't really know why their name is written in Cyrillic letters even though the band's not Russian, but anyhow it's pronounced "Mischa", like in Mischa Barton.
They don't even wanna call this recording a demo, it's just some songs they recorded in a basement with one microphone. But you can't even really hear any extraordinarily bad recording quality (not that there's anything wrong with that in this kind of music). The songs don't even reach 8 minutes all together, but it's like an orgasm; short but pleasureful.

High Five, Atom Bomb

I can't believe I hadn't even heard about this band until yesterday.
These guys are epic and mostly instrumental in a really soft and melodic manner, and in the parts where there's vocals, it sometimes sounds like it's Aaron Weiss (of mewithoutYou, he's one of my favourite singers ever), especially when the singer starts screaming "Oh God! Oh God!" in the second track, "Piteraq".
They also have really wonderful lyrics, some of my favourites are from the song "Amy Blue":

Oh, what I'd give for my old awkward set of limbs
Oh, what I'd fuck to be in your arms again
And you know you were my favourite movie
And even though I fucking hate the end
I still rewind you walking away
And watch it over and over again

I don't really know what to say. I don't really know if I even have to say anything. I mean, just look at the name of the band and the name of the recording. Live recordings from house shows by bands with ridiculously long names couldn't possibly be more true skramz, or anything else than awesome.

Italian screamo band. Or something. A while into their self-titled record you kind of just dream away and find yourself listening to some wonderful post-rock, then realising it's still Magdalene. Fucking sweet. Also, Italian is a damn fine language to sing in.
