The Swedish cinematic rock outfit, also known as SMASH, have since the release of their third album Rise And Shine established a unique brand. Being part of the force surrounding the group since the beginning, their mystical leader and Superhero drummer ‘APOC’ first appeared in the booklet of the debut album Unbreakable, but came to life during the release of Rise and Shine. Recognized not only for their futuristic and apocalyptic image, but also for their creation of a cinematic mini-series, ARCADIA WORLD, playing out inside a parallel virtual reality. This combined with their arena ambitious choruses and mystical live performances is what embodies Smash Into Pieces. As one reviewer described their most recent London show: “Experiencing SMASH live is just like being caught up in the middle of a digital cybertronic circus, listening to the whole crowd singing along just as if they’d been hypnotized.”
