Shattered Realm is an American metalcore/hardcore band from Asbury Park, New Jersey, who formed in 2000 and has taken several hiatuses since. Their most recent EP, Scars from Lessons Learned, was released in 2024. The band was founded in 2000 by guitarist Joe None. Other members included singer Eric, guitarist Chris Collins, and drummer Danny. The band began performing live in September. Shortly thereafter, singer Eric switched to bass and guitarist Collins took over as lead singer. A few performances later, drummer Danny left the group and was replaced by Al, while Ales joined the band as second guitarist. The album Alone with Everybody was released in the same year. In April 2001, drummer Al briefly left the band and was replaced by Gene from Second to None. This was followed by the EP All Will Suffer on War Machine Records in the same year, before Al returned to the band in August. After a few performances, the album Broken Ties... Spoken Lies was released on Eulogy Recordings and Alveran Records. More performances and tours followed, with Fat Pat joining the band as second guitarist in early 2002, replacing Alex. In 2003, the band took part in Hellfest. Towards the end of the summer, the band parted ways with singer Big Chris and drummer Al. On the European tour in September 2003, Chris Rage joined the band as the new drummer and Paul Brown as the new singer. This was followed in early 2004 by US tours with Remembering Never and On Broken Wings, as well as with Terror, Born from Pain, and The Promise. In February, Rage suffered serious ankle and leg injuries in Memphis during a stage diving attempt. In the summer, the band played shows in the US together with On Broken Wings, The Judas Cradle, Black My Heart, and The Warriors. At that time, singer Paul Brown left the band for personal reasons, whereupon Joe Hardcore joined the lineup as the new singer in 2005. In July 2005, the band embarked on a US tour with Ramallah, Death Before Dishonor, and Suffocate Faster, which lasted until mid-August. This was followed in November by the album From the Dead End Blocks Where Life Means Nothing. At this point, the band consisted of guitarists Joe None and Danny Cahill, singer Joe Hardcore, bassist Jason Bailey, and drummer Chris Rage. The release was followed by tours through Europe and the US. In 2006, Nick Sarro joined the band as bassist. In June of the same year, singer Big Chris rejoined the lineup for a show in Asbury Park. However, as this concert was extremely chaotic, Joe Hardcore returned to the band as singer afterwards. Since Hellfest was canceled in the summer of 2005, Joe Hardcore organized his own festival in Philadelphia, which would later develop into the This Is Hardcore Fest. After a few more performances, the band broke up in 2009. The band has been active again since 2011, with singer Big Chris returning to the band. The band returned in 2024 with an EP, Scars from Lessons Learned, released through Bayway Records.
