Details:
SHOCTOPUS, Ireland’s top classic metal/hard rock band, released their debut seven track EP “King of the Mountain” at a sold out show in Dublin in November 2010.

The EP was recorded in November 2008 at AP Studios with the legendary Sean Genockey as producer, and the equally talented Antimo Puca as their engineer. Sean Genockey, courtesy of Solar Management UK, previously worked on albums by Tom McCrae, Kula Shaker, Manic Street Preachers and Suede, among others. The six tracks were recorded over a period of five days, and then sent to Black Dog Studios in London to be mixed and mastered by Sean and Ed Woods, who previously worked with Love Like Fire.

The bands website, https://www.tradebit.com, has had over 40 000 hits since the start of 2009 from countries as diverse as Japan, Germany, Finland, France and Russia, and showcases some of the band’s music. A strong presence on Myspace and Youtube has helped to consolidate the bands reputation, and a constant schedule of live gigs is building an ever-larger support base for the band.

The band have been favourably compared to classic acts like Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Guns and Roses and Black Sabbath, but bring a fresh modern sound to the hard rock scene. Live, the rock solid and perfect timing of drummer “Ripper” and bassist “Tank” is a perfect foil for the electric theatrics of guitarist Stavis and manic energy of lead singer Charlie Black.

The band is:

Charlie Black - Lead Vocals

Stavis - Lead/Rhythm Guitars & Backing Vocals

Ripper - Drums & Backing Vocals

Tank - Bass Guitar
