A GOOD MIX OF THRASH (CRAZY RIFFS AND VOCAL SCREAMS) AND NEO-HARDCORE (MID TEMPO BREAKS AND CLEAN VOCAL LINES). ALL THIS MAKES THIS A VERY GOOD THRASHCORE ALBUM. ON SOME TRACKS YOU WILL FIND A DEATH METAL GROWLS, IT ADD SMALL HOPE THAT SOUND OF SHATTERPOINT WILL BE MORE BRUTAL IN FUTURE. ANYWAY GET READY FOR MORE THAT 60 MIN OF PURE THRASH / HARDCORE FROM CANADA... TARAS BULBA

- Line Up:
SHANE DRAKE - VOCALS AND RHYTHM GUITARS
GREG WRIGHT - LEAD GUITARS
CHRIS ZEEMAN - BASS

Hailing from Toronto Canada, Shatterpoint deliver their take of heavy music upon the world. Shatterpoint's crushing riffs, ripping solos and in-your-face vocals, crank out relentlessly in a refreshing uncompromised fashion. Shatterpoint masterfully combine a fist clenching mixture of American and European metal, with some hardcore subtleties. This approach matched with Shatterpoint's never ending search for the almighty riff have made Shatterpoint one of metals most dangerous up and coming bands.
Formed in 2002, Shatterpoint have made a big name for themselves in a relatively small amount of time. In 2004 Shatterpoint released their first EP release titled "Consequences" which received a huge amount of international notoriety and gave Shatterpoint a foothold into the world of heavy music. The Consequences EP is a 6 song, thirty minute "mini album" which delivers a "rollercoaster of riffs" from start to finish. The EP received countless outstanding reviews and a massive distribution of worldwide airplay which blew away every expectation of a typical EP demo. Since the release of "Consequences" Shatterpoint have been relentlessly playing shows across Canada, gaining momentum and fans at each stop along the way; proving to be one of the top contenders of the Canadian metal scene.
Over the past year Shatterpoint have been working extremely hard writing and recording their much anticipated follow up to the Consequences EP, titled "DEAD PRECEDENCE" which will be Shatterpoint's first official full length release. The much awaited "DEAD PRECEDENCE" was produced by metal master Greg Dawson (The End, Moneen) at BWC studios, and is a huge leap forward for the band as a whole. While most bands churn out song after song using a very predictable and repetitive formula; Shatterpoint have made a conscious effort to produce an album which never bores, never lets up and keeps throwing new stuff at the listener from start to finish. Shatterpoint follow their own path, never compromising the integrity of their music at the prospect of more fans or more attention, which has helped the band produce their most punishing offering to date. "DEAD PRECEDENCE", the crushing follow up to the 2004 "CONSEQUENCES" EP is sure to leave a path of destruction worldwide, and will be available everywhere in March 2007, via Power Play records.
