Hey Peoples ... Shameless plug right here im affraid ... but you know, sometimes its just gotta be done ;)
Just finished debut release at the world famous battery studios in London, UK With uber producer Mark Williams (Devil sold his soul, *Shels, Sikth, Enter Shikari). Got a few tracks up on the net, so would love some feedback.

Cheers Guys. BTS
Man, your band's work is really good, you should be getting to the top. A really good sounds, lots of atmospheres & well constructed songs. Looking forward to hear more in the future.

QuoteBetween The Screams have crafted a truly unique sound, seamlessly blending ambient, sprawling electronics with atmospheric experimental metal.
I don't see anything truly unique in your music. It sounds like Enter Shikari to me. Maybe a little bit less on the commercial side, as most demos or EP's sound but this is nothing newvbut I'm sure the "new rave" scene assholes will get excited over it.

I'm sure they will get "on top" somewhat. Most shit like this does. It's easy to swallow, easy to understand, not too complicated or technical; and to the mainstream appears to be "unique and alternative" when actually it's not at all. Sorry but i just don't see anything in this weak, watered down cheese. There's no punch to the music and the instruments seem to come together like one continuous droning noise.
And if by "well constructed songs" you mean basic and predictable then I'll agree with you. I could actually guess what was coming next in both songs (i'm not even joking).
So yea, well done for sounding just like Enter Shitari.
After looking at your myspace i've realised that not only is your sound the same as the aforementioned bland band, you guys even look exactly the same, which just proves my point even more.
Can anyone actually tell the difference?
So yea, "truly unique" my ass.
Hey Guys,
thanks for the feedback, good or negative. Its all appreciated.
I don't agree we sound anything like Enter Shikari ... we have no trance beats, no beatdowns, no scene image and no stupid fringes.
We don't even have traditional choruses in songs, let alone predictable structures. We like post metal, doom, prog and take our music influences from Post rock like Isis, res sparrows or Aerogramme, Ambient sound scapes like Atlantis or Bossk, and the heavy thick wall of sounds such as bands like Devil sold his soul or Mahumodo.
We write what we like and what we like hearing, i appreciate you taking the time out to write a response, and taking the time to listen to both tracks (both are quite lengthy :)
Peace!
i'd rate your band as 7/10.
I quite like your music, I dig your influences too. I guess having the same producer as Shels and Devil Sold His Soul your gonna come out sounding a bit like them but I like... I always see people using the microKorg in music these days, all genres to be exact. How does it sit with your style of music? Are there enough presets on there to make it a worthy choice? And what do you use the laptop for? Synths like Atmosphere and Absynth maybe? Thanks.
Yeah, we love those bands, and those records, so Mark was an easy choice for us.
The micro korg isnt used a great deal .. its cheap and sounds ok, thats why we chose it ... i dont know why everyone seems to use it.. everyone from isis to lost prophets seem to have one???
We use the laptop for synths and samples .. reason and logic via a midi controller, strings and stuff sounds real nice through it.
The micro korg is a worthy buy, but if you wanna create more layers and stuff, its better to go for a proper synth or go the laptop way .. much more options and less chance of using the same sounds as other people.
I like what I heard on your MySpace, especially the song Pure. I wouldn't necessarily say this is groundbreaking music, there's a lot out there that sounds very similar. but it's definitely full of good ideas and well performed. I wish you all good luck and I assure you that I will check out your upcoming release.
just for the fact that you posted in different colors trying to get my attention. means i will never listen to your music
instead im gonna sit here and keep eating these pretzel rods.
mmm pretzel rods.
lol at the long thread title
Thanks for all the responses thus far guys, really appreciate you taking the time out and giving us your full attention. All reaction and responses are useful so thanks for checking the thread out and taking note. Just been played on Radio 1 too, unsigned band of the week so keep listening and tell your friends haha. :D
Guys, if your not feeling BTS, then thats cool. I love deftones, hate team sleep. Not everyone likes everyband. I think the enter shikari comment was stupid. there is real simularity but hey! opinions are opinions! New song on the myspace if anyone cares to listen . x
ok man, youre on the band....
you rock.
locked.

Wait, when I come to think about it, you're in this band aren't you?
I'd bet on that too...
I can assure you those posts are not from any member of between the screams .. check the IP adress.
I know not all the comments on here are positive but hey! all publicity is good publicity right?
Haha, keep Rockin'.
Hmmmmmm Beef is definitely the best member on here IMO (In My Opinion).
I would clearly agree with you starz i think my brutal honesty has seemingly offended people but obviously the views expressed are clearly my own and not the bands althought i am sure many people would agree with the truth that i speak.
Also loving the ew song on the myspace pageis fucking sick i love it
Stop screaming.
Get a different singer (one who sounds good).
Change your band name.
and you will be on your way ;)
bless.

What are you talking about, copyright theft?
Linking a few url's isn't considered an act of crime.
enough. linking url's is not illegal unless the owner says he doesn't want them linked.
all you've all made your point: some don't like the band, some do. other are friends with them and want to protect their reputation. coming on here insulting everyone and acting like a jerk gives the band bad reputation though, so I suggest you stop it.
^^^^^ indeed, indeed we dont need all these negative vibes coming from the slaughter house, plus you just sound like a brute and a filthy road pig whoring out your butt hole losing name face by hiding behind the facade of your screen name. Hmmmmmmmm STFU
