Revered British metal act SHRAPNEL have released their brand new track "Kingmaker", an earth-shattering and expansive display of modern metal. The new single is accompanied by a music video, available to view below.

SHRAPNEL comments on the new single:

"Kingmaker" follows the release of their latest album, In Gravity (2024), which received glowing reviews from the likes of Metal Hammer, Kerrang! and Distorted Sound. In Gravity signifies a profound rebirth and heralds a fresh era for SHRAPNEL. Drawing from their rich tapestry of experience and diverse influences, the album showcases the band's peak in songwriting excellence. From intricate and intense compositions to Gojira-inspired powerful heaviness and a newfound touch of contemporary melodic sophistication, SHRAPNEL skillfully navigates through uncharted musical territories, pushing boundaries and defying traditional genres.

  • "In Gravity"
  • "Amber Screams"
  • "Guardian"

Established in 2009, SHRAPNEL has relentlessly pursued a path of musical devastation. Having shared stages with iconic bands like Exodus, Sepultura, Death Angel, Suicidal Tendencies, Wolf, 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.
