Shackled Humanity
Shackled Humanity is a brutal display of insanity. Violence in the form of music is unleashed. Pure emotion pured into live performance. This is something you can only witness for yourself to believe. The songs on here are with our old vocalist and the quality isn't good, but we will be going into the studio to record a new demo in the near future.
NEXT SHOW: Sunday, February 9th at The Saint in Asbury Park, NJ. Doors open at 1:00PM. Tickets are $8 advance and $10 at the door. Other bands playing are: Defire, February's Past, The Opposites, Hyrule Heros, and Jumpstart The Gun. Contact us for more information or advance tickets.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We formed in July of 2002 and have gone through line-up changes since. The orignal line up was Rich Horton on guitar/vocals, Nick Golkiewicz on bass, and Jim McGuire on drums. Mike Gutto joined the band on guitar in September of 2002, then problems arose with Rich in October of 2002 and he was kicked out. Carmen Ugaro then joined on vocals in the same month. Carmen quit in January of 2003 due to personal problems. Nick Shedlock was then inducted into the band on vocals in January of 2003. Dave Hoosack will also be joining us full time on guitar in May of 2003.
