Japanese Metalcore Act Broken By The Scream Sign With Metal Blade Records

Japanese metalcore force Broken By The Scream have officially signed with Metal Blade Records, marking a major step forward for the rapidly rising Tokyo-based outfit. The band confirmed the news this week, noting that new material is currently in development as they begin this next chapter with the storied metal label.

While fresh music is on the way, fans can revisit the group’s most recent single, “追憶のナスカ”, which showcases their signature blend of crushing metalcore aggression and idol-influenced melody — a sound that has steadily earned them attention well beyond Japan’s underground scene.

In support of the announcement, Broken By The Scream have a busy run of live dates lined up throughout 2026, including multiple shows across Japan and high-profile summer festival appearances in Europe.
