Pain. joy. ecstasy. despair.

Description

The alchemists from Birmingham, who break down doors to take heavy out of its comfort zone and into unknown territories. The band has become the leader of an avant-garde, forging a chemical blend of noise that defies any notion of genre and limits. Their first album, ''Pain. Joy. Ecstasy. Despair'' seems ready to challenge the very definition of modern heavy, rejecting nostalgic impulses in favor of the untapped potentials of the future. Just as there are always many ways to see things, the 11 tracks of ''Pain. Joy. Ecstasy. Despair.'' reflect all aspects of life: from our relationships as individuals to moments of collective symbiosis - everything we represent being part of the very fabric of society, and thus by extension, of others. Looking at the world around them, the band members have become spectators of a humanity struggling with itself: our lives set in motion on emotional roller coasters. No matter their secret, it works completely. SHVPES has stirred minds at festivals around the world, opening for the best rock bands of today: from Bring Me The Horizon to Bullet For My Valentine, including Crossfaith.
