THIS IS… SMASH The Swedish cinematic rock outfit, also known as SMASH, have since the release of their third album ‘Rise And Shine’ established a unique brand. Being part of the force surrounding the group since the beginning, their mystical leader and Superhero drummer ‘APOC’ first appeared in the booklet of the debut album ‘Unbreakable’, but came to life during the release of ‘Rise and Shine’. Recognized not only for their futuristic and apocalyptic image, but also for their creation of a cinematic mini series ‘ARCADIA WORLD’, playing out inside a parallel virtual reality. This combined with their arena ambitious choruses and mystical live performances is what embodies Smash Into Pieces. Blending modern rock with electronic elements supported by the great vocal range of the lead singer Chris Adam, gives the listener an arena sounding experience to remember. As one reviewer described their most recent London show: “Experiencing SMASH live is just like being caught up in the middle of a digital cybertronic circus, listening to the whole crowd singing along just as if they’d been hypnotized”. Passing half a billion combined streams & views, and being confirmed for more than 60 live shows in 2022 on 2 continents (supporting Starset on the ‘Horizons Tour’ in the United States and supporting Within Temptation and Evanescence on the ‘Worlds Collide Tour’ in Europe), SMASH now announces the release of their seventh studio album.
