Улыбайся Ветру (translates to "Smile To The Wind" are a four-piece screamo band from Saint Petersburg, Russia that formed in 2013. They recently released a new album, Illusions, which has set the bar for screamo this year. Sonically, they can be compared to bands like Loma Prieta and Louise Cyphre, since they play an incredibly crushing and chaotic style of screamo, complete with frenzied drums and dual guitars & dual vocals. There are some incredible instrumental passages here that break up the chaos, featuring gentle yet tense arpeggios and a looming atmosphere. The band throttles through a litany of sounds in an astoundingly short period of time. Illusions is a prime example of modern screamo at its finest, and I cannot recommend it enough. Plus, they put out some fantastic material before it to delve into after all 12 crushing minutes of Illusions. You can pick up the record from friends of the blog Zegema Beach, or one of the many fantastic labels listed below. Side note the links are for Mega because Zippyshare is giving me issues. Enjoy.
