Swedish Heavy Metal Energy: Screamer’s ‘Adrenaline Distractions’ (HRR 206)
Today’s entry focuses on a high-octane debut from the Swedish heavy metal revival. We are looking at the 2011 album Adrenaline Distractions by Screamer, released on the prestigious High Roller Records with the catalog number HRR 206.
The Swedish Invasion
Released during the peak of the “New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal” (NWOTHM), Screamer emerged from Sweden delivering a sound that was less about darkness and more about pure, party-ready heavy metal rock ‘n’ roll. Comparisons are often made to their countrymen Enforcer or Bullet, but Screamer brings a distinct hard rock boogie and punkish energy to the mix.
The music is fast, melodic, and incredibly catchy. The album opens with Can You Hear Me, setting the tone immediately with driving riffs and soaring vocals. The self-titled anthem Screamer and the title track Adrenaline Distractions are perfect examples of their fist-pumping style, featuring twin-guitar harmonies and infectious choruses designed for the live stage.
Collector’s Details
High Roller Records is renowned for their quality packaging, and this release is no exception. The record comes housed in a heavy 425gsm cardboard sleeve with a thick 4mm spine, giving it a sturdy, premium feel. It includes a cardboard lyric insert.
This specific entry is the Black Vinyl edition, which was limited to 550 copies out of a total pressing run of 1000 copies (other colors included in the run). HRR 206 is a modern classic for fans who appreciate the energetic, melodic sound of the Swedish metal scene.
