Ablaze – Screamer v1.0.5 for WiN

The best plugin for extreme vocals

Screamer is the perfect plugin for turning your raw screams into powerful, incredibly loud vocal sounds that define modern metal. The plugin will instantly take your lows, mids, highs, guttural and screeching sounds to the next level. And… Screamer works with zero latency, so you can record directly into the plugin during studio sessions and even at gigs.

Our Story

Ablaze is an Amsterdam-based indie brand founded by plugin developer and metal vocalist Jochem de Jong, who is developing next-generation vocal plugins for modern metal vocalists.

As extreme music producers ourselves, we’ve discovered that the growing availability of metal-focused Kontakt libraries and virtual instruments—like low-tuned guitars, crunchy bass guitars, and powerful drum kits—makes creating entire metal tracks easier than ever in a simple home studio. The biggest challenge often lies in mixing vocals and achieving a modern, polished, and powerful vocal sound. That’s where our flagship plugin, Screamer, comes in.

Screamer instantly transforms your harsh screams into a crushing wall of sound. The plugin uses several new algorithms and is latency-free, allowing you to sing and record directly into it. We’re also developing our Vocal Assist Bundle—a set of easy-to-use plugins that will completely simplify the process of mixing extreme vocals.
