SCREAM AT THE SKY are turning temptation into gasoline as they announce their upcoming In“SIN”eration Tour, setting stages ablaze across February and March with a run that promises heat, sweat, and pure rock ‘n’ roll danger.
This isn’t just a tour — it’s an invitation. An invitation to step into the shadows, turn the volume past reason, and surrender to a band that thrives on tension, release, and raw connection. Night after night, SCREAM AT THE SKY bring a sound that’s equal parts seductive and savage, blending crushing riffs, soaring vocals, and a pulse you feel long after the lights go down.
The in“SIN”eration Tour is built for packed rooms, locked eyes, and moments where the crowd and the band blur into one. It’s loud. It’s intimate. It’s unapologetically sinful. Every song hits like a slow burn that explodes without warning — the kind of live experience you don’t scroll past, you live inside.
With new fire behind them and a reputation for commanding the stage, SCREAM AT THE SKY are ready to leave their mark city by city. Fans should expect heavy grooves, dangerous hooks, and performances that feel more like a confession than a concert.
Established in 2018, Houston based hard rock act SCREAM AT THE SKY blends elements of hard rock, heavy metal, Hip hop and industrial to create a hook laden behemoth and one of Houston’s most exciting grass roots bands. Playing their first show in 2020 they started tearing up the streets one venue at a time creating a positivity and high energy rock and roll show!
Scream At The Sky is a 3-man machine of hard-working individuals from across the USA traveling the world to create music for the misfits and misunderstood, letting them know the battles they face aren’t alone!!!
SCREAM AT THE SKY is the brainchild of Dead Horse Trauma bassist Brian Carter, known for his relentless touring and indie sensibilities along with. Bringing forth Brian’s already legendary showmanship, SCREAM AT THE SKY presents deeply personal lyrics and a positive message wrapped neatly with high energy music and a live performance to match.
Being a complete DIY band, they have branded their product in multiple states and countries with old school tactics of good ole Rubber Sole Foot Patrol and creative work ethic …. but honest work ethic and always having a smile creates a good time and fun atmosphere for a in your face personal show experience!
SCREAM AT THE SKY is a shining example of independent DIY work ethic guided by the experience of a seasoned touring veteran who regularly works with the likes of many of the industry’s seasoned professionals.
