Shards of ice

Shards Of Ice is a metal/rock band based in Manila. Angelo Garcia and Dean Rosen started the band in 2004. Within the same year they recruited Lex Adarme to be their drummer and Griff Chatwin to be an additional guitarist. Shards Of Ice is greatly influenced by old school metal. Metallica has always been one of their favourite bands. Their debut album, entitled "The Monkeys Have Landed" was released in late 2004, and was recorded it when band members were between 13-15. In July 2005, Angelo moved to Cairo, Egypt. So for the past 2 years, Shards Of Ice remained a three piece band, promoting Griff to be their lead guitarist. In November 2004, they were featured in PULP magazine; and in February 2005, the band won first place in LSGH's "Overdose" Battle Of The Bands competition. Later on in April, they played in the PULP Summer Slam, and in June, the Fete De La Musique.
