The birth of Shocker dates back to 2018, but the idea had been spinning through the minds of Sammy and Koen for a long time. Due to other challenges and obligations in their daily lives, the idea was postponed. With everyone having a different musical background, SHOCKER strives to find common ground, and that’s where the magic happens—the formation of the Shocker sound.

Mixing genres and styles without being confined to boundaries is one of the things they love, and the possibilities seem endless, giving them a wide path to explore.

Shocker was fortunate to hit the studio in between coronawaves and record their first EP at Closed Sessions Recording Studio with Kristof Maes at the helm. The EP was released in March 2021 and received many promising reviews.

New songs that appear to be heavier and darker were forged by that fire. Proudly, SHOCKER can announce that a full album is now done and set to be released in 2023.

The album was recorded and mixed at Shellshock Studios by Pieter Nyckees and mastered by Frederik Dejongh at Jerboa Mastering.
