Shellshock the four-piece band from Watford, UK who fuse metal with drum and bass blastbeats into their own unique, raucous ‘E Metal’ sound, are set to release their debut studio album, ‘Laws Of Rebellion’

‘Laws of Rebellion’ is an infectious collection of edgy, provocative, metal anthems interspersed with a big slab of dark, intelligent, digital beats. Shellshock slammed into 2006 with a sold out show at the Camden Barfly , a mainstage slot at Uxfest and supports to Skindred in London.

Shellshock were formed in 2000 and, their pulsating live shows soon saw them ramming local venues to the rafters. More highly successful UK shows followed with the band being offered to support Skindred on a 26 date tour. The fiery live show attracted the attention of the rock press: "Fusing drum and bass with corrosive industrial metal, their set is a furious assault upon the senses" - Rocksound -live review

Shortly before the release of their debut E.P came the tragic death of original guitarist Rafe Chiles in Paris, France. After the initial pain and grief, the band rose to levels of new belief and drive. The recruitment of new guitarist Hops added energy to the outfit and the band brought out their first release, an E.p ‘Injected into the Hive’. Shellshock’s ‘Injected into the Hive’ released in 2005 was widely seen as a natural progression from the Slipknot esque sound of programmed beats and brutal, clinical metal.

The cd was reviewed in online and offline press; ’ if you like your music to push boundaries - and do it with style - this is a must’. - UltimateMetal.com

The album opens like a bomb with the first track ‘Insight’ This sets the standard with an aural assault. Imagine electronic warfare on speed. Tracks ‘Parallel Reality’ ‘Focus’ and ‘Cautaution’ see the band at their most accessible with melodic vocals on top of huge, open choruses. Gritty and hard hitting tracks ‘In 4 The Kill’ and ‘Outcast’ bring us boundary pushing sounds and reflect a band unafraid of the unknown.
