Scars To Deep
Shackle is a Metal/Hardcore band out of Western Mass.
Why this name?
We are 5 guys that have Shackled ourselfs to our music!
Do you play live?
Yeah we play live! Thats the best part of being a musician! We have won a few battle of the bands and opened for a couple of national acts.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It has its ups and downs! On one hand it is great that you can access anyone at the click of the button. On the other hand mp3's are killing the Music Industry. Which makes it alot harder for us unsigned bands to get signed.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, but, it would have to be the right deal. Most artist go into a signing with their eyes closed. We will definately be ready if the time comes!
Band History:
For 3 years SHACKLE has been carving out a reputation as a fiercely powerful live band with energy, passion,
and intense commitment to their audience.
This band has the material and the grand stage presence to make them
the next heavy hitters in today’s heavy metal genre of music.
This group of 5, hailing from Greenfield, Massachusetts, is breathing new life into metal musicianship with a unbelievable
balance of brutal power and melody combined with anthem styled riffs that keeps audiences arriving in larger and larger
numbers. This band brings their fans and first time listeners alike to a euphoric state of mind that is
induced by the music, than unknowingly the lyrics rips the listener back into the world of reality.
Shackle has been taking the local scene by storm, selling out venues and maxing out fire code capacity limits
in Massachusetts. It didn’t take long before national acts were requesting SHACKLE as an opening act as they passed
through Massechusetts. With performances including Split Shift, Hypnotic Kick, Under Fallen Skies, Haloburn, and Changing Skin, Shackle was
the headliner for most of these shows just to name a few.
Shackle continues to headline many venues in Massachusetts. They won the last battle of the bands competition for a
total of 3 wins in as many attempts. With no second place prizes awarded in these competitions it’s obvious
that Shackle has become a music force to be reckoned with. Shackle has received spins on Big Bang Music
Explosion, and New Noise from WLZX - LAZER 99.3
Their fan base continues to grow outside the local scene. For Shackle it’s time to move on to the
next step and allow the people of the nation the opportunity to appreciate the sick sound of Shackle
that all the local fans have come to know and love and make us what we are today.
Their newest self-titled release is due to hit record store shelves early spring 2005. Shackle delivers the goods,
the music pounds you and shakes you until you feel like you are going to explode with the joy of pure righteous rage.
Shackle is determined to make a lasting mark in the metal scene, and everyone who walks away after a
live performance realizes that potential. Bringing new musical elements has allowed Shackle to achieve a larger more dramatic sound.
“EPIC” one of Shackle’s newest releases has convinced even the most jaded metal fan that this group is everything but average.
