There is more than one artist with the name Shiv. 1. New Haven, CT's Shiv was a punk trio influenced by the aggressive noise bands who called the Amphetamine Reptile label home. They put out their debut, Flayed & Ashamed, in 1996. 2. Shiv plays an interesting mix of modern d-beat/dark hardcore and some mostly 80's influenced metal (think Paradise Lost, Judas Priest etc.). Their demo/ep/what-ever-you-wanna-call-it can be found @ http://subvultures.net/mp3.html and it contains three furious, uncomfortably dark songs with crushingly fierce vocals and a cold atmosphere which even some black or doom bands would envy. http://www.myspace.com/shivstrike 3. Australian, Melburn Hardcore punk band. introduced at the sour BO of Esso Squat. Jah - vox Dane - bass G-tar Zach Bongos - Sam (Strutter & the nodes) https://shivaus.bandcamp.com/releases
