r/skramz

​I've been practicing fry vocals for a few months now, focusing on deathcore, early 2000s metalcore (SxE), and skramz. Honestly, I feel like I've hit a complete wall and haven't made any real progress.

​I know the throat positions and physical feedback by heart, but a friend of mine recently told me my foundation sounds completely wrong. Since I don't have a vocal coach, I've actually resorted to sending my raw audio attempts (vowels, basic rumbles) to an AI to get technical feedback on my distortion and breath support. I know it sounds weird, but I couldn't think of any other way to get an objective analysis of my audio.

​Has anyone ever been in a similar situation where they felt completely stuck? How did you break through? Any advice on how to transition a safe, compressed "buzz" into a proper scream with actual volume and body would be massive. Thanks!

A while back, I was listening to either my midwest emo/skramz/emo adjacent playlist or my To Be Gentle/Gillian Carter playlist, and Spotify Smart Shuffle played a song that started with a couple of minutes of samples of multiple voicemails from someone’s dad. I cannot find this anywhere now. Can anyone help me track this down? Thanks in advance for any help.

FFO:
Chalk Hands, State Faults, Letters to Catalonia, Sans Visage

Emotional, atmospheric, chaotic sound with loud/soft dynamics.

Current lineup:

• guitar
• bass

Already writing ideas/demos and planning to gig eventually.

Looking for someone passionate, committed, and into emotional hardcore/skramz.

JB area.
DM if interested.

Good evening. I’m Japanese and I absolutely love Skramz from overseas.
However, when it comes to the lyrics, I feel like there’s quite a bit of bias. It seems to me that Skramz’s lyrics often follow stories where a protagonist with a loving heart falls in love with someone and then experiences loss. And the phrase “I love you” comes up a lot.
I’m looking for elements like a protagonist who can’t love others, or a protagonist who is loved and obsessed over by others. Are there any Skramz songs with lyrics like this? Also, are there any songs that don’t follow the typical storylines mentioned above?

Hello for the past few months I have been working on writing songs with a buddy I met at a local diy show and since then we have found a rhythm guitarist and a bassist. We have written several songs which I think are very good but we cannot find a drummer I know a few however those 2 are both are in very popular local bands. I’m a vocalist if I were to describe our sound it’s kind of emoviolence/sasscore/blues kinda if anyone knows any drummers in the Chicago area looking for something to do just let me know (if anyone is interested I will send some clips and what not)
