A Wilhelm Scream may win the award for best song titles this year. Here are the top three: “The Kids Can Eat a Bag of Dicks,” a quick post-hardcore tune with a nice bass solo and an emo breakdown (no, that’s not a joke); “Me vs. Morrissey in the Pretentiousness Contest (The Ladder Match),” Ruiner‘s strongest track (complete with squealing guitars, rhythmic breakdowns and emo lyrics, it’s the quintessential A Wilhelm Scream song); and “Less Bright Eyes, More Deicide,” which is really a short intro track, but with a name that sweet, it’s automatically a killer one. Meanwhile, the opening song, “The King Is Dead,” may not have an amusing moniker, but it grabs your attention with high-speed staccato guitars and a blast of power chords. When vocalist Nuno Pereira starts belting out the lyrics, there’s no doubt that A Wilhelm Scream is ready to assume the throne now held by Hot Water Music and Thrice.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
