    Your throat is swollen (and probably inflamed). Take an anti-inflammatory (ibuprofen, acetaminophen [Tylenol], or even diphenhydramine [Benadryl]) before you go on stage to prevent this. I have nothing against metal (Mastodon is in my top 10 favorite bands), but--speaking strictly with your health in mind--it would be best for you not to scream in your music.

    Hope that helps.
