Biography:
Shatter Brain are an Adelaide based metal band comprised of members of some of South Australia’s most
successful heavy bands. Boasting a diverse vocal performance that ranges from ear piercing highs to sewer
dwelling lows the band also draws on an eclectic but coherent range of influences and seamlessly blends
fast, razor-tight rhythms with laid back grooves. Their sound is reminiscent of its contemporaries, such as
High on Fire, Merauder, Black Breath, and Power Trip, with the occasional nod to classic metal and
crossover. Shatter Brain launched in January 2018, releasing a four-song demo that was recorded and
mixed by guitarist Jack Hartley and mastered by Joel Grind (Toxic Holocaust, Power Trip, Cavalera
Conspiracy). The release was accompanied by a video clip for the debut single “Rip the Stitch”
(https://youtu.be/rT0hoiV1AsU),
and was supported by an Australian & New Zealand Tour between Feb and
April. This tour culminated with a debut home town show in front of over 650 punters at the annual Heavy SA
Festival. Bootleg footage from this tour is documented in the music video for the band’s second single
“Discard” (

). The band then commenced the “Rip the Stitch Asia Tour” in
June/July. This tour included three shows in Taiwan, including a headlining performance at Wake Up Fest in
Chiayi, and shows in Thailand and Malaysia as main support for Brazilian crossover-thrash legends R.D.P.
(Ratos de Porão). Upon returning to Australia, Shatter Brain released a split vinyl EP (aptly titled “The Twelve
Inch Split”) with Melbourne band Blunt Shovel in early August and embarked on another tour with King Parrot
and Blunt Shovel. The Twelve Inch Split featured two new Shatter Brain songs and a cover of the Mastodon
classic “Blood and Thunder”. The release of the split was accompanied by a music video for the opening
track “The Ship That Never Sinks” which featured footage of the band performing the song at Heavy SA
earlier that year
(https://youtu.be/yQWzjiyK1c4).
2018 also saw Shatter Brain supporting Power Trip (USA)
on the Adelaide date of their Australian tour. Shatter Brain began 2019 with a tour of Japan and returned to
Australia to open for Max and Iggor Cavalera’s (Sepultura) “Return to Beneath the Arise” tour, during which
Tom joined Max on stage to sing a rendition of AC/DC’s “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”. Shatter Brain entered
the studio in July to record their debut album, due for release in 2020, and the band rounded out the year by
supporting New Orleans sludge legends Eyehategod (USA) in November.
