About
A Wilhelm Scream (abbreviated as AWS) is a melodic hardcore band from New Bedford, Massachusetts, formed in 1993. Sonically, their music has been compared to that of Strung Out, Hot Water Music, Propagandhi, and Strike Anywhere. Their name is a reference to the Wilhelm scream, a famous stock sound effect mainly used in films. The band previously went by the names Koen and Smackin' Isaiah, though the latter was the only name to be used in any major releases. "The reason for the name changes from Koen to Smackin' Isaiah, then to A Wilhelm Scream was really a matter of them adding new members, and progressing/maturing as a band."

A Wilhelm Scream est un groupe américain de hardcore mélodique, originaire de New Bedford, dans le Massachusetts. Il est connu pendant trois ans sous le nom de Smackin' Isaiah jusqu'en 2002.
Un « Wilhelm scream », dans le milieu du cinéma, est le nom donné à un effet sonore particulièrement reconnaissable très souvent utilisé lors de la chute d'un personnage (en particulier dans Star Wars par exemple) et désormais élevé au rang de cliché. Il s'agit d'une espèce de long cri aigu, qui tire son nom du premier personnage ayant poussé ce fameux cri, dans un western de 1951.
