Viva Belgrado

Viva Belgrado are a four-piece screamo/post-hardcore/post-rock band from Córdoba, Spain that began in 2012.  They've released three albums since that, a demo, and a fantastic EP. Sonically, they play heavily into their post-rock influences, with melodic, delayed guitars slathered in reverb and tons of tremolo picking. In quieter moments, they also incorporate some spoken word. When the songs build up, they hit their screamo peaks, with throat-searing vocals and powerful instrumentals. On their latest album, they slightly eschew their screamo roots for a cleaner sound, with a mix of singing and sing-speaking taken the forefront. There's some clear La Dispute influence here, especially with the vocal flows and post-hardcore instrumental leanings. This band crafts some absolutely beautiful songs, and are a prime example of how emotion can transcend language. Enjoy.

Corea

Corea were a four-piece screamo/post-rock band from Alicante, Spain that were active from 2003 to 2007. In that time they put out two monumental albums, both of which stand distinctly on their own. Their debut, Los Peores 7 Km De Mi Vida (translated to The Worst 7 Km Of My Life) was released in 2004, and is one hell of a ride to listen to. They take heavy emoviolence influence, with a chaotic and dissonant sound, topped off by some of the most violent screams imaginable. In between that, the band take a number of experimental directions, mixing acoustic interludes, subdued arpeggios in the vein of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and heavy elements of noise. With every track hitting the 6-minute mark, they craft a series of epics with every unique idea they can within them. The band is at their most raw here, making for a visceral experience that never takes the expected turn.

Their final release, Quien Encuentra La Madre Conoce A Los Hijos (translated to Who Finds The Mother Knows The Children) was released two years after their debut, in 2006. It's immediately evident that the sound here is much more polished from the clean, delayed guitars of the first track. The post-rock elements is a lot more prominent on this album, and when paired with the screamo-influenced peaks, can almost be comparable to Envy. Never being a band to shy away from experimentation, they end the album on an entirely electronic track. Between the two albums it's hard to pick a favourite; I'm partial to their debut but both are highly recommended. Enjoy.

Boneflower

Boneflower are a three-piece post-hardcore/screamo/post-rock band from Madrid, Spain that began in 2015. Thus far they've released one EP and one LP, but have quickly become one of the most notable voices in the new music-with-screams scene. Sonically, they play with a post-rock foundation, utilizing dynamic rises and falls and melodic, reverb-laden instrumentation to create a massive, full sound. They cut through that with some sharp lead guitars, pounding drums, and vocals that range from screamed to sung to spoken word, and everything in between. Their debut album, Empty Rooms, Full Bodies explores a plethora of sounds and emotions, making for a very dynamic and versatile listen. The somber acoustic tracks "Sol" and "To pieces" stand in stark contrast to ragers like "Aching absence" or "Andromeda", while still maintaining a seamless record. Boneflower is highly recommended for fans of bands such as Moving Mountains, Old Gray, Trophy Scars, Pianos Become The Teeth, and Men As Trees, (or some hybrid of all the aforementioned). Enjoy.

Enoch Ardon

Enoch Ardon are a four-piece screamo band from Oviedo, Spain that formed in 2006. Their main point of comparison is Orchid, which as far as influences go, it doesn't get much better than that. They were mainly active around 2006 and 2007, but released a new 7" a few years back in 2014, which picks up right where they left off, which is pure, chaotic goodness. Enjoy.
