BIOGRAPHY
Shattered was formed in 2013, consisting of Michael Bachmann (vocals), Florian Wehner (guitar), Johannes Laudenbach (guitar), Julian Welsch (bass) and Jonas Pfeiffer (drums). All the band members have been performing as live-, studio-, and session-musicians for more than ten years now in which they have been members of different bands and projects, such as Retaliation (Unique Leader Records), Effloresce (Generation Prog Records) or Tombthroat (Blast Head Records). Their music can be classified as Technical Death Metal with influences from Progressive- and Melodic Death Metal.
In summer 2014 they independently recorded their first album NEW ATLANTIS, which was mixed and mastered by Stefano Morabito (producer for Fleshgod Apocalypse, Sickening, Hideous Divinity etc.) New Atlantis consists of 14 strong tracks, adding up to a total of 45:16 min. They have played as guest appearance for Christian Münzner (Ex-Necrophagist, Ex-Obscura) and Sven DeCaluwe (Aborted). Their lyrics deal with topics, such as conspiracy theories, aliens, and science-fiction. Shattered is 100% non-political. The main songwriters Laudenbach and Welsch have been writing songs for a variety of bands for more than ten years now.
In November 2014 Laudenbach left the band for personal reasons and we got in search for a new man on the guitar.
In September 2015 they finally released their debut album NEW ATLANTIS. After a really nice show with their friend Kevin Heiderich (The Haarp Machine, Nader Sadek, Defeated Sanity) on guitar they decided to go further as a four-piece-band.
