ScreamS

**ScreamS** is a Russian alternative metal band known for their horror-inspired aesthetic and high-energy sound that blends metal, punk, and electronic elements. Formed in Moscow in 2003 around frontwoman Olga "Hellawes" Ponomarenko, the group carved out a niche with their theatrical live shows and lyrics exploring dark fantasy, social angst, and gothic imagery. Their music often mixes heavy riffs with synth-driven hooks, creating a chaotic yet catchy vibe that’s earned them a cult following in the Russian rock scene.

Recent tracks like **Карусель** and **Уродов карнавал** (Freaks’ Carnival) continue their tradition of dramatic storytelling, pairing aggressive instrumentals with Hellawes’ raw vocals. Songs such as **Ночь суда** (Night of Judgment) and **Твой выбор** (Your Choice) lean into their signature blend of rebellion and macabre theatrics, while **Slam** showcases their punk-infused edge. Though not widely known outside Russian-speaking circles, ScreamS remains a vivid presence, unapologetically embracing their "horror metal" identity.
