SHVPES announce breakup

SHVPES have announced they are breaking up.

Despite being a firm name on the UK alternative scene, with two full-length albums [2016’s Pain. Joy. Ecstasy. Despair and 2018’s Greater Than] under their belt and countless live appearances, the Birmingham-based metal band have announced they are breaking up.

The announcement came via the band’s Facebook page and reads as follows, “good things all come to an end. After much introspection, we have decided to call it a day with SHVPES.

As this band has evolved, we have grown a lot as musicians and as people. And as a result we have found ourselves beginning to move in separate directions, musically and otherwise. To continue on as SHVPES would only place further strain on our mental health and personal relationships, as well as be dishonest and a disservice to all of you. We leave on good terms, proud and grateful for everything we’ve achieved.

To the fans and everyone who has supported, invested and believed in us, we wholeheartedly thank you. You have allowed us to accomplish things we only ever dreamed of and be a part of something bigger than ourselves. For now though, it’s time for a new chapter.

Peace & Love

SHVPES
Grant, Griff, Harry, Ryan, & Youssef.
2015 – Infinity”
