Formed in 2002, Shatterpoint have made a big name for themselves in a relatively small amount of time. In 2004 Shatterpoint released their first EP release titled "Consequences" which received a huge amount of international notoriety and gave Shatterpoint a foothold into the world of heavy music. The Consequences EP is a 6 song, 30 minute "mini album" which delivers a "rollercoaster of riffs" from start to finish. The EP received countless outstanding reviews and a massive distribution of worldwide airplay which blew away every expectation of a typical EP demo. Since the release of "Consequences" Shatterpoint has been relentlessly playing shows across Canada, gaining momentum and fans at each stop along the way, and proving to be one of the top contenders of the Canadian metal scene.

Over the past year Shatterpoint have been working extremely hard writing and recording their much anticipated follow up to the Consequences EP, titled "DEAD PRECEDENCE" which is Shatterpoints first official full length release. The much awaited "DEAD PRECEDENCE" release was produced by metal master Greg Dawson (The End, Moneen) at BWC studios and is a huge leap forward for the band as a whole.

Shatterpoint follow their own path, never compromising the integrity of their music at the prospect of more fans or more attention, which has helped the band produce their most punishing offering to date. "DEAD PRECEDENCE" the crushing follow up to the 2004 "CONSEQUENCES" EP is sure to leave a path of destruction worldwide, and will be available everywhere in March 2007, via Power Play records.
