About THE iZUNA

Originally called Shellshock, the band was formed in 1999 with one aim in mind....To write original music by combining the styles of Metal and Digital Drum n' Bass. The concept was simple really, both styles are dark and powerful....mix them! The reality was not as simple. The band soon realised how much technology they would have to employ to make it sound the way it should be. After wittling & honing it down, they were ready to release their debut EP.... 'INJECTED INTO THE HIVE' in the UK on their own label.

Then tragedy struck as the guitarist Rafe Chiles died in Paris from an asthma attack at 23 years old. The band decided that this would only serve to spur them on more, to push the project forward with even more determination & with another guitarist Andy Hopkinson on board the scene was set & ((shellshock)) unleashed on the world!

The band quickly earned a reputation for their manic live performances and original sound playing a spate of live shows including a tour with Dub Reggae rockers Skindred and a place on the bill at Uxfest 2006. They also featured on covermount cd's for Metal Hammer and Terrorizer magazines. All of which helped them earn a large and commited fan base in the UK.

The band released 2 studio albums called 'Laws Of Rebellion' and 'Born From Decline', both with Justin Hill and Dan Weller of Sikth. We still have copies for sale, so if you want them just drop us a message on Facebook!!!

After many line up changes due to members not being able to continue for many various reasons, the band stopped releasing music under the name Shellshock in 2015 and 'Ayre' the founding member, continued writing for the new incarnation of the band called 'THE iZUNA'. Joined by guitarist Matt Prior and then later by drummer Luke Rides, he is still writing diverse and powerful music in the digital metal genre.
