Shrike are currently a 3-piece metal band from Preston, England. Residing in the officially labelled “wettest” city in England, Shrike have channeled that inner “grim up north’ ness” to create their own bleak brand of metal music. Shrike pride themselves in using a range of ambient, cinematic and orchestral soundscapes to push the envelope on the genre, whilst still retaining homage to the foundations and influences that made metal so appealing to them in the first place.

Shrike are currently a 3-piece metal band from Preston, England. Residing in the officially labelled “wettest” city in England, Shrike have channeled that inner “grim up north’ ness” to create their own bleak brand of metal music. Shrike pride themselves in using a range of ambient, cinematic and orchestral soundscapes to push the envelope on the genre, whilst still retaining homage to the foundations and influences that made metal so appealing to them in the first place.
Each member of Shrike has been active in the music scene for over a decade, and that shared experience really shines through on their latest material ‘Serpentine’. Serpentine was helped with the vocal prowess of Lucas Fletcher (Blanket) and was also mixed by him, with some additional help from Connor Sweeney (Ex - Loathe). They have also been building a fan base, by relentlessly playing live shows up and down the UK. Some of the key support slots have included Evil Scarecrow, Distant and Harbinger.
Shrike are set to conquer the underground metal scene, through sheer musical dexterity, crushing vocals, relentless blast beats and atmospheric texture, influenced by bands such as Trivium, The Black Dahlia Murder and Revocation, aiding them to take the band to the next level in 2025. They’ve set out to prove that there is culture and more to the north of England than industrial estates and car boot sales. « hide |
