Pitchfork Justice contains nine cohesive songs that are a unique blend
of sludge metal, old-school thrash, and hardcore, with modern and
diverse vocals. The production is lively and bombastic, as well as
punchy and aggressive, and the lyrics make a strong statement about the

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” 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 ( 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/DCs “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. With their debut album on the
way, 2020 is shaping up to be the biggest year yet for Shatter Brain!
