Shatter Messiah

Shatter Messiah are a UK-based melodic thrash metal band formed in 2000 by guitarist/vocalist and primary songwriter Zoran Zivkovic. Initially starting as a solo project, Zivkovic eventually recruited a full lineup and released their debut album, "Never to Play the Servant," in 2006. Known for their blend of aggressive riffs, soaring melodies, and thought-provoking lyrics, Shatter Messiah quickly gained a following in the underground metal scene. They've toured extensively throughout Europe and the UK, sharing stages with bands like Testament and Exodus.

Over the years, Shatter Messiah has undergone several lineup changes, with Zivkovic remaining the constant driving force. They've continued to refine their sound, releasing albums like "God Burns Like Flesh," "Hail the New Cross," and most recently, "Orphans of Chaos." Their music often explores themes of social injustice, political corruption, and the struggles of the human condition, delivered with a powerful and passionate performance.
