Band Line Up 2017

Shrapnel are poised to release a heavier, harder-hitting, more ferocious sophomore effort with "Raised on Decay” via Spinefarm Records this September. With countless blistering live performances under their collective belt already - including triumphant sets at Bloodstock in 2010 and 2013, support slots with the legendary likes of Exodus, Overkill, Destruction, Sacred Reich, Suicidal Tendencies, Sepultura, Death Angel, Voivod, Evile, Gama Bomb, and many more - the future for the UK’s latest masters of thrash looks blindingly bright as they embark on what promises to be a relentless blizzard of gigs, leaving a trail of snapped necks and beer-sodden chaos in their deafening wake. Primed and ready to perform their precise and devastating anthems for anyone who can take the pace, Shrapnel intend to hit the stage with a vengeance, keeping the thrash dream alive for themselves and an ever-expanding army of like- minded metalheads.
