Screaming Marionette

Screaming Marionette is a Sydney-based modern metal band blending aggressive, low-tuned heaviness with atmospheric and cinematic textures. Built on intensity and emotion, the band’s sound moves between crushing riffs and immersive soundscapes, creating a balance between chaos and control.

Formed by musicians with roots in Nepal’s underground scene, Screaming Marionette began as a raw expression of heavy music before evolving into a more refined and intentional project. Over time, the band has gone through several lineup changes, each phase shaping its identity, sound, and direction. What started as unfiltered aggression has grown into a more structured and cinematic approach to songwriting.

The current lineup represents the most focused version of Screaming Marionette to date. With a strong emphasis on tight musicianship and impactful live performances, the band delivers sets that are both sonically heavy and emotionally driven. Their live shows are built around energy, movement, and atmosphere rather than just volume.

Screaming Marionette has performed across multiple cities in Australia, steadily building a presence within the local metal scene. The band has appeared at events such as Hamro Fest (Sydney) and MIMP Fest (Adelaide), alongside a series of headline and support shows that have helped shape their growing audience.

Musically, their recordings explore themes of inner conflict, environmental change, and human impact, often presented through a cinematic and narrative lens. Tracks are built with layered textures, heavy bass-driven foundations, and dynamic shifts that reflect both aggression and vulnerability.

As the band continues to release new material and expand its reach, Screaming Marionette is focused on pushing beyond boundaries, aiming to take its sound from local stages to a global audience.
