Smash Into Pieces

With eight albums in just over a decade, ‘prolific’ is the first word that comes to mind when asked to describe Smash into Pieces’ output. They’ve been busy making a name for themselves in these parts so their second stint at GMM is a unique opportunity to broaden their fan base even further. They’ve gained a loyal following over the years thanks to a stellar live reputation. On Spotify alone they’ve meanwhile reached the 1.3 million monthly listener mark and 900+ million streams overall. Originally formed in 2008, it took them five years to secure a record deal and put out their first album ‘Unbreakable’. It’s a modern rock record that could be described as the Scandinavian version of Alter Bridge. They are masters of epic rock with trademark solos, keyboard fills, a singer with a huge set of pipes and relevant lyrics. Since 2020 they’ve been telling us the story of Arcadia, a game developed by supercomputer S4Y with incredible AI computing power. Their latest album, ‘Ghost Code’ (2024), blends cinematic rock with electronic elements and continues the futuristic narrative while delving into themes of resilience and self-empowerment. #GMM25
