Shtack started as a studio project containing Bram "Spaghettibeard" Claessen and Thimo "Dekzwabber" Gijezen. They both played in a metal band, Stygian Sun, in which they couldn't use the material they wrote, so they started their own project, Shtack.

Tom "Ripbelly", Stygian Sun's drummer, reacted very enthusiastic to the project and they decided to begin a three-piece band playing thick, fat pirate-metal. From that day on Shtack is a unique metal band with many influences and innovatory music! Their debut album came out in november 2013, so enjoy pirate-metal, enjoy Shtack.
