Formed in Cheltenham, UK, in 1980, Screaming Dead emerged as pioneers of horror punk, blending raw punk energy with macabre themes inspired by classic horror cinema. Their early releases, including the indie chart hits "Night Creatures" and a haunting cover of the Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black," solidified their cult status. After disbanding in 1985, the band reformed in 2014, continuing to captivate audiences with their unique fusion of punk and gothic rock. Their latest release, "Bedlam," showcases their enduring ability to craft compelling, darkly atmospheric music. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screaming_Dead?utm_source=openai))
