Scream was formed in Northern Virginia in 1981 by singer Peter Stahl, his brother Franz Stahl on guitar, bassist Skeeter Thompson and drummer Kent Stax. They are considered one of the benchmark bands in the history of the Washington, D.C. hardcore music movement. Along with bands such as Minor Threat and Government Issue, Scream ultimately merged the attributes of the movement, which were blinding speed, heavy political and social connotations in the lyrics, unpretentiousness of attitude, and shunning of commercialism. Their music is faithful to the roots of rock, but spun itself into other genres by employing sounds that predate the raunchiness of grunge, while saluting reggae and speed metal. Scream hated the classification of bands into certain types and considered what they played as simply 'music.' Recording their music in the basement of the now legendary Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, Virginia, Scream became the first band on the Dischord label to release a whole album, Still Screaming, as opposed to singles or 12 inch EPs. Like the hardcore band Bad Brains, they could play clearly at breakneck speed, but also played mid-tempo songs like "American Justice" and "Hygiene," which were metal-tinged reggae.

For their second album Scream added another guitarist to their line-up, Robert Lee "Harley" Davidson, to thicken up the sound in the studio and in their live performances. In turn this eventually led to a powerful dual-lead guitar style, with complex guitar tracking, a more powerful live sound and an over-all crunchier sound for their third album. For a few compilation efforts and some live shows they added a keyboard player, Bobby Madden, who was a colleague of Davidson's from the same metal scene.

After the third album Banging the Drum, Kent Stax left the band for personal reasons and was replaced by local drummer Dave Grohl, who then played on Scream's 4th album No More Censorship. The band then toured Europe; with their May 4, 1990 show in Alzey, Germany being released by Tobby Holzinger as Your Choice Live Series Vol.10. Scream then recorded their fifth and final studio album Fumble, (which was much later released in 1993 on Dischord Records) and then called it quits in late 1990. Pete and Franz moved to North Hollywood and started rock band Wool, while Grohl joined Grunge band Nirvana. In 1997, Franz Stahl joined Dave Grohl's newly formed group, the commercially successful Foo Fighters, for a two year stint. During this time Pete Stahl worked as a road manager for both the Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age, while continuing to record albums with several bands, including the Earthlings? and Goatsnake. Skeeter Thompson remained in the D.C. area and continued to work in bands, as did Kent Stax with the Skinhead/Oi! -tinged bands: the Suspects, United 121, Spitfires United, and Alleged Bricks. Stax has also committed himself to a family life. Davidson continued in the band Angelstorm, (in Huntsville, Alabama), from 1993–1995 and created the new bands Orangahead, Festival of Fools, (with Madden in 1998) and two different bands both named God Is Dead, (one in D.C. and one in Huntsville, Alabama) from 2002-2005.

The original line-up of the band played a reunion show on December 20, 2009 at the Black Cat nightclub in Washington, D.C.

On February 7, 2011, the band supported Foo Fighters on a special show at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, when the Foo Fighters showcased their new album Wasting Light for the first time from beginning to end.

Roanoke you are a master at applying logic to the illogical , especially when it comes to dead space, so I would like your opinion on these theories I have about dead space to see if they are plausible

These are some theories I have had about the dead space universe based upon pre-existing lore

1. the black marker manipulated humanity to create unitology and suppress knowledge about the moon’s plan. Altman spread the information about the marker easily when the government probably would keep a close eye on him but when he attempts to spread word about the necromorphs the government offs him and uses his research to make more markers and his death starts unitology, sounds suspicious right, well it gets weirder. When the scaf scientists discover the true nature of the markers and a machine that can stop it do they use it? NO, they kill themselves and all research on the markers, BUT LEAVE THE MARKERS INTACT?! This suggests that the moons not only try to make a species create more markers but actively suppress any knowledge about the moon’s true plans and this is how I think they do it. When the black marker lands on a planet it will begin manipulating the dna of current species till one develops a brain that is an ideal transmitter and receiver of the marker signal. When this species discovers the black marker it will transmit a different signal, one that will spread from brain to brain, that will inspire a religious movement, in mankind’s case unitology, that will spread the word of the markers plan and desensitize the population to the markers methods and act as antibodies destroying any being that would threaten convergence and the birth of a new brethren moon. And when the red marker is complete they are turned from a simple cult to genocidal maniacs creating bodies for the necromorphs. The moons also turned mankind into a space faring race in order to unfreeze the tau volantis moon, which also explains man kind’s unusual interest in exploring the stars when we haven’t even finished exploring our own planet.

2. The marker chooses specific necromorphs to perform specific functions in the brethren moons. Enhanced necromorphs form the muscle and less vital tissue thus they become stronger but can’t regenerate. Regenerators, ubermorphs, and the hunter would serve as the nervous tissue and the brain. This is why you never see enhanced regenerators on tau volantis, you can’t have both at once.

3. Necromorphs reuse forms from old species that are highly efficient such as the tau-volantians laying the basis for the brute and the nexus being used as a template for the hive mind and you even reference this in the slasher video and mentioning how a quadrapeadle template has been forced onto the human body. Other necromorph forms are partially used to create new ones such as the snow beast’s form and mindset used to create the tripod and tormentor necromorphs

4. Why did the hive mind on aegis 7 not keep growing into a moon when the corruption could keep growing as long as it is supplied marker energy? I believe that the extra mass the corruption gains is transferred from other brethren moons in the form of energy (Mc^2 = E = Mc^2) thus they are only willing to expend a certain amount of mass to create a new brethren moon, which also explains why the scaf members on tau volantis could not start another convergence event and it explains why they are trying to unfreeze that moon to prevent the loss of resources.

5. A convergence event does not guarantee a successful brethren moon. picture, if you will, two nests each with it’s own chic one is fed constantly and is allowed to grow to adulthood while the other is left to starve (sorry for the messed up analogy). If a brethren moon was formed in either dead space 1 or 2 they most likely would have used up all the organic matter to build it’s body leaving nothing to eat where as a brethren moon formed on a planet with a full population will have remaining biomatter to feed upon to build up “fat stores” thus allowing it to hibernate until another species can be harvested. This explains why some of the scaf members on tau volantis became feeder necromorphs to turn biological matter into energy to feed the incomplete moon.

The following are theories and questions that, while not having any lore backing them, I believe make sense

1. Are the moons basically a cosmoscopic scale of macroscopic life, in the terms of all life forms exist to eat, reproduce and survive?
2. Are black markers made from enhanced necromorph biomatter from the brethren moons?
3. Was mars an infected world?
4. Are the moons basically the beta from muv-luv, resource harvesters that are no longer receiving orders?
5. Humans that have died and come back talking about the afterlife were actually connecting to the marker?
6. Are the accounts of zombies just accidentally created fodder necromorphs?
7. Instead of the marker signal preventing decay, does any microbe that would break down bodies join team necromorph by the marker signal?
8. The moons manipulate humans to create air vents to allow easy access for the necromorphs, otherwise why does everyone use vents big enough for people to fit inside of everywhere even in an insane asylum?
9. Are Cancer cells in-fact cells that have partially switched to the marker energy metabolism which is why they are so hard to destroy and can survive outside the human body?
10. Do the brethren moons find entirely fresh planets or do they deposit a small amount of biological material onto planets with the right growing conditions and send the marker after complex life develops ?
11. Does the marker signal suppress the growth of plants and mycelium?
12. Does the red marker have a specific range?
13. Why did the red marker not start convergence until it was placed on it’s pedestal instead of the moment issac landed on aegiss VII?
14. Has Issac gained abilities from destroying markers and constantly being exposed to the marker signal, like Jarrod from skyline?
15. Were the tau-volantians further along in their evolution than man kind was, thus giving them less time to be effected by the marker signal, thus allowing them the mental resistance to start a “rebellion” and freeze the moon in place?
16. Do the brethren moons choose specific individuals to carefully manipulate into helping with their plans, examples of which include mercer, tiedemann, and Jacob for those that would help the marker’s plans and mathius, stross, and Norton for those who would Sabotage the plans of those who would fight the marker
17. Do the brains of the people who create the area of influence the negates the marker’s effect , transmit an inverted marker signal from their brain thus causing destructive interference with the original signal?
18. Why does the corruption not grow ON the marker, just around it?
19. If the regenerator left the range of the marker signal and reverted to the genetic sludge, would it regrow into a regenerator when reintroduced to the marker signal or would it grow into new necromorphs?

@ericlamb4501

22w↑23

Well, that really depends. We do actually see a lot of the Volantians, mainly corpses and statues(?) and the few active Necromorph variants we do encounter don't look that changed. Like I said before on another vid, the Necromorph infection changes the body to become a deadly weapon, the reason it changes Humans so much is because we have no innate weapons. We don't have claws, our teeth are actually laughably weak for anything outside of eating, and our strength is greatly hindered by not just our brain but also the fact that full 100% muscle strength would basically rip us to shreds after one move. So, the infection mutilates the body to repurpose everything to actually be useful to the Necromorphs.
The aliens of Tau Volantis, on the other hand, from what we can see and infer from the planets lore, are sea dwelling creatures, with the muscle to match since they probably swam alongside walking on the ocean floor, needing to be more robust to even evolve on an ocean planet to begin with, much less build a thriving society. As such, the infection doesn't need to actually mutilate them too much because they already have natural claws and strength. (That or the artists working on the project just phoned it in for the end of the game) At the same time, them being able to shoot exploding spawn from their belly, aside from being re-used Brute behavior, could also be explained as them having Sea Horse like mating behavior, where the male takes in fertilized eggs and carries them till they hatch.

The Dead Space lore has a very dark take on the Fermi paradox, really paraphrasing Serrano from Dead Space 3, the galaxy is a 100K light-year graveyard of civilizations destroyed by the Brethren Moons, and any nascent civilization out there would be blissfully unaware of the dangers till they discovered their own Markers in the distant future.

I do think they are still conscious. I remember I'd try to take em out as soon as I could because it was just dreadful to hear/see them in so much pain. I think the moment that I flashed the Plasma cutter Lights onto one and I saw it react immediately the horror clicked to me. :( What an amazing game/story Dead Space is. ✨💖

On the topic of closing one eye when it comes to bright lights, I've noticed that my right eye (which is my dominant eye) is better at seeing in average to high light levels, whereas my left eye is better at seeing in lower light levels. When waking in the night I always use my left when the lights are out while going to either to the restroom or kitchen, switch eyes, turn on the light, do what needs to be done, turn out the light, then switch my eyes again. Since starting this I have had less collisions with walls/tables than when I tried using both eyes to see in the dark. The human body is a strange machine.

@alucard_snipes3181

This is probably wrong or obsolete. But the person may have been left alive and alert to act as an alarm system for the wall/proto guardian. They don't scream till they see you, and then the attack starts. So not only is it a psychological attack but an alert system to spring an attack? At the very least to alert any other possible necros in the area that you're there. This is probably wrong but just a thought.

@tkdarkheart

21w↑3

Something pointing to the wall guardian being conscious is the noise. Rather, the tone of the noise, I mean. Other necromorphs can “yell” but it’s more of a half baked roar mixed with a wet gurgle which makes sense since the vocal cords aren’t really important outside of maybe terrorizing prey. The yell and scream of a wall guardian is a distinctly human sound.

Just a recommendation: Check out All Tomorrows!

@TheBritishRunner also had a theory about the Wall Guardians' screams being a bait tactic. He just posted a video this week where he talks about it being one of the scariest Necromorphs since his theory is a full sized guardian is the result of suckering in anyone who tries to save the person trapped in the wall, and making them a part of its biomass.

Hey Roanoke! Binging your videos since discovering your channel. Narration, analysis, humor, science 10/10! Two movies I recommend you to check out are Phantoms and Deep Rising.

Dead Space is one of my favorite sci-fi horror games, and I'm glad to see you are making another one. It's better for you to cover and explain it, rather than I who doesn't really understand the franchise. But the wall guardians, they're kind of creepy. In the facts are still conscious, is just awful.

If the wall guardian is still conscious, and their screams of pain are there to attract prey kinda like "bait", then you could say the wall guardian is the anglerfish of the necromorphs

@Somethingclever11111

So I'm curious instead of keeping the person alive as a warning or bait. Is it possible they're kept alive as means of psychological torture on the ones confronting them? Like, imagine your barely surving the physical and mental attacks you've been enduring since a outbreak you try to run only to walk into a corridor or door that has a person defomed beyond all hell like every other god forsaken creature you've seen. But still alive in some way, its just another way to break you and let the marker signal take control

Would have been interesting in Dead Space 3 if there had been a last surviving Volantian maybe in some stasis field that Isaack can talk to recounting how their race fell.

Perhaps the last Volantian is the one who fired the process that froze the moon then put himself in stasis in case he had to wake up again if the freezing process ever started failing.

@clydewill2340

21w

One thing I want to mention about the brother moons, or at least the one you fight, is that the fight seemed WAY too easy. Just use a few markers and hit the glowing yellow spots to take down this literal moon-sized being? I think what they could have done to at least explain why it was so easy was that all the debris going into the atmosphere was attracting all the mines in space to certain points. Then instead of shooting a marker into a yellow spot, you would need some kind of engine or similar object to attract the space mines to those spots.

the head is kept that intact because the hivemind needs a "focused brain" there to keep an active defence.
just like all the other necromorphs they also have heads.
why its screaming is to induce terror is my guess and to freak out people making them more neurologically damaged. the more freaked out you get the easier you are to mind control into going necromorph

I've been meaning to post this for awhile. My personal theory about the Brethren Moons is that they are organic super computers. They're huge, organic, planetoid beings that are connected to one another through a psychic "network". What if each newly created Brethren Moon adds more processing power to this "network"? Of course, that still leaves the question of who first started this computer network and for what purpose.

Maybe it's was an "normal" civilisation formed of parasites parasiting an other "normal" civilisation, and the parasites slowly becomed more violent and more violent and becomed smaller and smaller and smarter, then evolved to the necromorphes

@angelaprayerpoems

I think the brethren moons leave the guardians faces mostly intact so collogues or people looking for them could recognize that face and i think they probably got so worn out fighting that the voices were able to whisper that resting in the corruption would be safe because the necromorphs won't notice them and they're so tired they believe them those brethren moons are truly twisted we should've been able to bust those moons open! keep up the good work great video by the way!
