Screams of Winter formed in 2004 by Alex Damske. Borrowing influence from metalcore bands like Killswitch Engage and God Forbid as well as Swedish metal acts like At The Gates and In Flames, they released an EP in 2007 and continued to play shows in the Chicago area.
Mike quit the band in April of 2008, and they continued on as a 4 piece. The band then released their next EP in August 2008 and while the band played quite a few shows for the next 2 years, they failed to evolve musically and Alex quit the band in May of 2010 which ended the group. During the time the band was active, they managed play some 100 shows in the Chicago area, a few notable shows include opening for Joey Belladonna's solo project after winning a local contest and playing mainstage at the annual Ribfest summer event in Naperville, IL after winning a local battle of the bands.
Fast forward to summer 2017, Max and Mike decided to revisit some Screams of Winter songs with the EP Divine Chaos. With a new found maturity and refined performance and production skills, the songs finally sound like what the band always wanted them to sound like. Even though the sounds that influenced Screams of Winter are not the current trend in metal, the songs on Divine Chaos offer a unique glimpse into one band's interpretation of 2000's metalcore. The band is hoping to play shows in the near future and work on re-recording their catalog.
