Shrapnel has relentlessly pursued a path of musical devastation. Having shared stages with iconic bands like Exodus, Sepultura, Death Angel, Suicidal Tendencies, Wolf, and Gama Bomb, and gracing the Bloodstock Festival stage three times, the band’s reputation precedes them. Their upcoming performance at the Barbeuk Metal Festival in France further solidifies their place in the metal scene. From the incendiary underground EP No Saviours to the critically acclaimed 2020 album Palace For The Insane, Shrapnel‘s evolution has been nothing short of meteoric, with a relentless drive that shows no signs of waning.
