In Gravity is the sound of a rebirth. Born from a period of pain, tragedy, isolation, but hope for the future. It emerges as an uplifting and crushingly precise statement about where Shrapnel are in 2023. A cathartic exercising of daemons, it does not dwell on the past or lean on well-worn tropes but looks excitedly forward. Drawing on their ever-deepening well of experience and influence, In Gravity marks a band at the height of their songwriting prowess. Whether dealing in extremity and complexity, Gojira-inspired bludgeoning heaviness, or a newly-emerging sense of modern melodic maturity, Shrapnel are able to weave their sonic palette in new, genre-defying directions. Helmed by Swedish super producer Jens Bogren (Sepultura) it features collaborations with Scott Kennedy (Bleed From Within) and modern shred virtuoso Bradley Hall. Shrapnel are breaking out of their shackles where others have failed and staking their claim to the British metal throne.
